Saudi Arabia: Southern Province Cement reported a net loss of US$13m for the year ending 31 December 2025, compared to a net profit of US$51m in 2024. The company also reported an operating loss of US$11m in 2025, compared to an operating profit of US$60.5m in the previous year. Southern Province Cement attributed the decline in profitability to lower revenues and higher cost of sales, driven by increased input costs and lower utilisation rates of production lines. Additional factors included inventory adjustments related to raw materials, as well as the impact of revised depreciation for assets linked to old production lines at the Jazan cement plant, which were replaced by a new production line.
