Doha, Qatar: Mesaieed Petrochemical Holding Company (“MPHC” or “the Group”; QE ticker: MPHC), today announced a net profit of QR 909 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, representing an increase of 573% compared to the same period last year.

Commenting on the financial and operational performance for 1H-21, Mr. Ahmad Saif Al-Sulaiti, Chairman of the Board of Directors, MHPC, said:

“The main highlight of MPHC’s performance was a sequential macroeconomic recovery which led to a solid demand relating to basket of our products coupled with supply constraints, and resulted in an improved set of financial results. While macroeconomic sentiments remained positive, we continued to capitalize on our robust business strategies and operational excellence. Going forward, we would continue to focus on productivity and efficiency gains while selectively invest in capital projects that would increase our competitiveness and create shareholder value.” 

Updates on macroeconomic environment

The economic momentum carried from the latter part of last year, on the back of satisfactory vaccination drive and easing out of geographical lockdowns in major markets, led to a sequential recovery in demand for petrochemicals and chlor-alkali products, and positively reflected on selling prices. Industry-wide supply constraints and global logistical bottlenecks also played a part in keeping the product prices favourable for the downstream producers.
