Saudi Arabia’s Qassim Cement Co has reported a 52 per cent fall in net profit to SAR120.8m (US$32.21m) in 2018, compared to SAR251.8m of the previous year. Sales for the year also declined 32 per cent YoY to SAR425.7m from SAR625.9m.
The net profit results have been attributed to a decrease in sales volume and value, driven by a lower demand of cement and intense competition, according to Reuters.
