SABIC posts 2025 adjusted net income of 2.1 bln riyals, revenue 116.5 bln

Riyadh, March 4, 2026 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – SABIC said on Wednesday its adjusted net income for 2025 stood at 2.1 billion riyals, while revenue reached 116.5 billion riyals, according to figures released at a press conference in Riyadh.

The company reported free cash flow of 7.2 billion riyals for the year, up 17% from 2024, and said it paid interim cash dividends for the second half of 2025 totalling 4.5 billion riyals.

Chief executive Abdulrahman bin Saleh Al-Fageeh said SABIC is strengthening safety, raising plant reliability and maintaining what he described as a disciplined approach to capital expenditure, while continuing work on its transformation and portfolio improvement programme.

Al-Fageeh said the petrochemicals sector continues to face challenges, including an imbalance between supply and demand that is affecting profit margins, and pointed to SABIC’s strategy as a way to navigate those conditions.

He said SABIC delivered 2.34 billion riyals through transformation programme initiatives and 12.26 billion riyals through collaboration with Saudi Aramco.

On growth projects, the company said an MTBE project in Jubail has been started up with annual capacity of one million metric tons, while work on the SABIC Fujian petrochemicals project in China is nearing completion on schedule.

The company also cited future projects including an expansion of specialty chemicals based on polyphenylene ether to meet demand for high-performance printed circuit boards in data centres serving artificial intelligence needs, an investment decision on an ethylene oxide catalyst project in Saudi Arabia, and a final investment decision for an engineering thermoplastics compounds plant in China.

In innovation, SABIC said it has launched more than 490 artificial intelligence supported digital models and that the share of industrial facilities using artificial intelligence tools has risen to around 45% to support productivity, safety and energy efficiency. It also said it introduced 148 new products in 2025.

SABIC said its brand value rose to $5.19 billion, crossing $5 billion for the first time, up 5.4% year on year, and that it maintained second place among the most valuable global brands in the chemicals sector for the sixth consecutive year.
