Nama Chemicals accumulated losses reach 47.62% of capital
Nama Chemicals Co. 's accumulated losses reached 47.62% of its SAR 235.2 million capital, based on the unaudited financial results for the period ending June 30, 2025, which were closed on July 9. In a statement to Tadawul, the company said accumulated losses amounted to SAR 111.99 million as of June 30, 2025. These losses were attributed to the delayed arrival of raw materials and limited working capital financing sources, which weighed on operational efficiency. This is in addition to the temporary production halt at the company's factories for scheduled periodic maintenance in April 2025.
