Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk Cement Company said on Tuesday fourth-quarter net profit amounted to SAR37.6m ($10.3m), unchanged from the same period in 2005.
The firm said in a statement posted on the bourse Web site the slowdown was due to a lull during Islam’s fasting month of Ramadan and holidays during the period.
Full-year profit grew 41 per cent to SAR218m on higher sales volume.
Eastern Province Cement Company said on Tuesday fourth-quarter net profit rose 79 per cent from a year earlier to SAR111m. Published under Cement News
