Advanced Petrochemical Company of Saudi has posted nearly 40 percent increase in net profit to $58 million for the third quarter, because of a big jump in polypropylene sales.
“Net profit increased by 39 percent compared to Q3 2020 mainly due to the increase in polypropylene sales,” the company said.
Sales revenue for the current quarter surged by 47.7 percent to 805 million riyals, while total comprehensive income grew from 286 million riyals to 356 million riyals over the same period.
