Saudi Steel Pipe Company announced that its net profit for the first quarter of 2025 fell by 9.2% year-on-year to SAR 69 million ($18.4 million), compared to SAR 76 million ($20.3 million) in the same period last year. The company attributed this decline primarily to an increase in selling, marketing, and distribution expenses, which rose to SAR 21 million ($5.6 million) in Q1 2025, up from just SAR 6 million ($1.6 million) in Q1 2024.
The company’s quarterly revenues also showed a decline. Total revenue in Q1 2024 was SAR 515 million ($137.3 million), but it dropped by 11.8% year-on-year to SAR 454 million ($121 million) in Q1 2025. This decline was mainly due to a decrease in sales volume. Earnings per share also decreased from SAR 1.11 ($0.29) to SAR 0.99 ($0.26) on an annual basis.
However, there was a positive trend when comparing quarter-on-quarter results. Net profit increased by 81.5% from SAR 38 million ($10.1 million) in Q4 2024 to SAR 69 million ($18.4 million) in Q1 2025. Revenues also saw a 73.3% rise, increasing from SAR 262 million ($69.9 million) to SAR 454 million ($121 million). This growth is seen as a sign of short-term recovery.
