Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) generated net profits attributable to the owners valued at SAR 348.04 billion ($92.81 billion) in 2025, down 11.64% year-on-year (YoY) from SAR 393.89 billion ($105.04 billion).
The oil giant reported an earnings per share (EPS) of SAR 1.44 last year, compared to SAR 1.63 in 2024, according to the financial results.
Sales fell by 4.76% to SAR 1.55 trillion ($415.82 billion) at the end of December 2025 from SAR 1.63 trillion ($436.61 billion) a year earlier.
The decrease in revenue was mainly due to lower prices of crude oil as well as refined and chemical products. This was partially offset by higher volumes sold of refined and chemical products, as well as gas and crude oil.
Aramco President and CEO Amin H. Nasser said: “Aramco delivered robust growth and strong cash flows in 2025, reinforcing confidence in our strategy. Our disciplined capital allocation, combined with our lower-cost, adaptable, and highly reliable operations, drove strong financial performance in a year marked by price volatility.”
Nasser indicated: “This enabled a 3.50% increase to our base dividend, reinforcing our focus on delivering sustainable and progressive shareholder returns.”
“We continue to leverage advanced technologies including AI to enhance efficiency and unlock value across our business. We also continued to maintain our impressive safety track record in 2025, with our lowest total recordable case rate since the IPO,” he added.

Saudi Aramco announced a base dividend to shareholders for the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025, marking an increase of 3.50% when compared to Q3-25, supporting its policy aiming to deliver a sustainable and progressive dividend.
