Saudi dairy group Almarai has booked a 19.5% increase in second-quarter profits on the back of higher sales and market share gains.

Almarai posted net profit of SAR343.1m (US$91.5m) for the three months to the end of June – an increase of 19.5% – after sales climbed 20.2% to SAR1.74bn.

Almarai’s second-quarter operating profit was up 15.6% at SAR387.7m, the company said on Saturday (10 July).

“This performance is the result of increased sales and market share arising from Almarai’s ability to serve its customers with consistently high-quality products due to the ongoing investment in production and distribution capacities,” Almarai said.
