United Wire Factories Co. (Aslak) posted a strong profit for Q1 2024, bolstered by the positive results of A-1 Fence Arabia Co., Aslak’s CEO Nabil Al-Amir told Argaam in an interview.
These figures were achieved amid ongoing market conditions and unimproved demand, in addition to the greater seasonal impact of the holy month of Ramadan on the first quarter compared to Q1 2023.
Better sales margins arose from sales concentration and the more effective raw material procurement management, in addition to the company’s success in balancing target sales value and positive margins. A decline in sales and higher profitability were noticed, Al-Amir added.
Aslak’s sales reached SAR 187 million in the first three months of 2024, a fall of nearly 18% year-on-year (YoY). Meanwhile, gross profit leapt by 21%.
The company seeks to balance the production plan with market conditions to achieve the best possible result, and this already achieved in all products.
Accordingly, profit margins of all segments improved in varying proportions based on demand.
The markets improved slightly after Eid al-Fitr holiday and continued at the same pace, Al-Amir said, expecting the markets to improve during the remaining period of the year, given the factors affecting the markets and the approaching summer holiday.
Aslak reported a net profit of SAR 6.1 million for Q1 2024, leaping 36% from SAR 4.5 million in the same period last year, according to data available with Argaam.
