This is compared to a net loss of SR780 million in the same period in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit pushed industries to the wall. The recovery is due to higher average sales prices of all products except gold, the company said in a Tadawul filing. Higher share in net profit from its joint ventures also bumped Ma’aden’s profits up.
