Riyadh - Mubasher: Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) swung to SAR 25.78 billion in net loss attributable to owners at the end of December 2025, versus net profits of SAR 1.54 billion a year earlier.
The loss per share hit SAR 8.59 last year when compared to earnings per share (EPS) of SAR 0.51 in 2024, according to the income statements.
Furthermore, the revenues reached SAR 116.53 billion in 2025, which signaled a 1.03% year-on-year (YoY) decrease from SAR 117.74 billion.
Quarterly Financials
During the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025, the company’s net losses widened to SAR 20.94 billion from SAR 1.89 billion in the corresponding period a year earlier.
Revenues declined YoY to SAR 27.95 billion in Q4-25 from SAR 29.65 billion. Meanwhile, the loss per share deepened to SAR 6.98 from SAR 0.63.
On a quarterly basis, the Saudi company turned to net losses in Q4-25 against net profits of SAR 440 million in Q3-25, while the revenues shrank from SAR 29.08 billion.
Abdulrahman Al Fageeh, the CEO of SABIC, said: “2025 reflected a moderately improving macroeconomic landscape. Yet, production overcapacity persisted in the petrochemical industry, continuing to squeeze margins and depress utilization rates. Amid these conditions, SABIC remained focused on meeting its 2025 priorities."

The board members of SABIC approved interim cash dividends worth SAR 4.50 billion, equivalent to 15% of its SAR 30 billion capital, for the second half (H2) of 2025.
