| Increase (Decrease) in Net Profit for Current Quarter Compared to the Same Quarter of the Previous Year is Attributed to | Net loss of SR (27.02) million for the second quarter of financial year 2020 (“Q2 2020”) compared to a net loss of SR (10.17) million for the second quarter of financial year 2019 (“Q2 2019”) is due to the following main reasons:
a) Gross loss amounting to SR (12.38) million compared to gross profit of SR 0.88 million in Q2 2019, as a result of lower volumes and product mix. b) Increase in administrative expenses amounting to SR (12.60) million compared to SR (8.35) million in Q2 2019, due mainly to end of service indemnity costs booked in Q2 2020. c) Decrease in other income amounting to SR 0.19 million compared to SR 1.40 million in Q2 2019, mainly due to a refund and accrual reversals booked in Q2 2019. d) Increase in trade receivables impairment charges amounting to SR (1.22) million compared to SR (0.59) million in Q2 2019.
The above listed adverse changes were partially offset by the increase in share of profit in an affiliate (Global Pipes Company) amounting to SR 3.58 in Q2 2020 compared to SR 1.75 million in Q2 2019 , as well as a decrease in selling, marketing and distribution expenses amounting to SR (2.14) in Q2 2020 compared to SR (2.94) million in Q2 2019.
SSP recorded a negative EBITDA of SR (16.95) million in Q2 2020, including non-recurring charges, compared to a positive EBITDA of SR 1.60 million in Q2 2019. Excluding non-recurrent charges, adjusted EBITDA is SR (11.75) million in Q2 2020. These results have been impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, during April and May 2020, the lockdown imposed on Qatif and Dammam 2nd Industrial City (where the Company’s facilities are located) and the resulting restrictions imposed on the mobility of workforce and on the activity in the industrial facilities, had a significant impact on the company’s operation. However, as at the date of issuing these financial statements, the Company’s industrial facilities are operating back at normal pre-COVID-19 levels.
In order to mitigate the impact of the expected lower sales and production caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company implemented several actions to optimize structural costs and preserve cash by focusing on reducing working capital and capital expenditures while delivering on efficiency opportunities without compromising the long-term strategic goals of the company. As a result, SSP recorded positive free cash flows of SR 30.24 million in Q2 2020, compared to free cash flows of SR 28.88 million in Q2 2019. |
| Increase (Decrease) in Net Profit for Current Quarter Compared to the Previous Quarter is Attributed to | Net loss of SR (27.02) million for Q2 2020 compared to a net loss of SR (17.77) million for first quarter of financial year 2020 (“Q1 2020”) is due to the following main reasons:
a) Gross loss amounting to SR (12.38) million compared to gross profit of SR 4.49 million in Q1 2020, as a result of lower volume and product mix. b) Decrease in net zakat and income tax benefit amounting to SR 0.06 million compared to SR 3.40 million in Q1 2020, mainly as a result of booking a zakat expense in Q2 2020. c) Increase in trade receivables impairment charges amounting to SR (1.22) million compared to SR (0.75) million in Q1 2020.
The above listed adverse changes were partially offset by the decrease in administrative expenses amounting to SR (12.59) million compared to SR (18.77) in Q1 2020, and the decrease in selling, marketing and distribution expenses amounting to SR (2.14) million compared to SR (3.00) million in Q1 2020. In addition, share of profit in an affiliate (Global Pipes Company) increased to SR 3.58 million compared to SR 0.04 million in Q1 2020.
SSP recorded a negative EBITDA of SR (16.95) million in Q2 2020, including non-recurring charges, compared to an EBITDA of SR (6.9) million in Q1 2020. Excluding non-recurring charges, adjusted EBITDA is SR (11.75) million in Q2 2020. These results have been impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, during April and May 2020, the lockdown imposed on Qatif and Dammam 2nd Industrial City (where the Company’s facilities are located) and the resulting restrictions imposed on the mobility of workforce and on the activity in the industrial facilities, had a significant impact on the company’s operation.

| Increase (Decrease) in Net Profit for Current Period Compared to the Similar Period of the Previous Year is Attributed to | Net loss of SR (44.79) million for the first half of financial year 2020 (“1H 2020”) compared to a net loss of SR (9.84) million for the first half of financial year 2019 (“1H 2019”) is due to the following main reasons:
a) Gross loss amounting to SR (7.89) million compared to gross profit of SR 13.41 million in 1H 2019, as a result of lower volumes and product mix. b) Increase in administrative expenses amounting to SR (31.36) million compared to SR (15.44) million in 1H 2019, due mainly to end of services indemnities costs booked in 1H 2020. c) Decrease in other income amounting to SR 0.16 million compared to SR 1.68 million in 1H 2019, mainly due to a refund and accrual reversals booked in 1H 2019. d) Increase in trade receivables impairment charges amounting to SR (1.97) million compared to a reversal of SR 0.03 million in 1H 2019. e) Decrease in share of profit in an affiliate (Global Pipes Company) amounting to SR 3.61 million in 1H 2020 compared to SR 4.81 million in 1H 2019
