UAE: ADNOC Distribution Eyes Expansion In Saudi Arabia

Abu Dhabi-based ADNOC Distribution is eyeing expansion in Saudi Arabia after reporting a 57.9 percent year-on-year increase in first quarter net profit to 631 million dirhams ($171.8 million).

Although ongoing mobility restrictions capped fuel sales, gross profit still gained more than 19 percent to 1.3 billion dirhams, it said in a filing.

The Abu Dhabi-listed company also optimized operational efficiencies during the quarter, helping it maintain a strong cash flow of 835 million dirhams.
