STRATEGIC INTENT
Protect core share in the Central Region, deepen participation in giga/mega-projects, and sustain a balanced export book particularly in higher-value white cement while returning excess cash to shareholders.
WHERE WE ARE IN 2025
Revenue declined 0.2% YoY to SAR 787.6 million, reflecting softer pricing conditions. Net profit reached SAR 207.8 million. This was primarily attributable to a reduction in average selling prices, notwithstanding an increase in sales volumes, in addition to the recovery of SAR 25 million from the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority during 2024. Riyadh Cement maintained a market share of approximately 6.4%, ranking 7th nationally, with an estimated 20.6% share in the Central Region and active participation in 7 major projects across Riyadh.
STRATEGIC INTENT
Lift throughput, quality and unit-cost competitiveness via reliability engineering, lean manufacturing and disciplined planning across our dual-product platform.
WHERE WE ARE IN 2025
Riyadh Cement increased grey-clinker production by ~34% and white-clinker by ~46% through 2025, strengthening fixed-cost absorption and supporting segment profitability. Our modern production lines have demonstrated the ability to operate at up to ~98% of rated capacity without compromising quality. Reliability programs, including predictive maintenance, have reduced downtime by ~10%, while stabilizing bag-filter performance to curb fugitive dust.
Customer impact: Segment reporting shows grey-cement revenue of SAR 625.4 million (-0.48% YoY) on higher volumes despite lower average selling prices, while white-cement revenue of SAR 162.2 million (+0.76% YoY).
STRATEGIC INTENT
Deploy Industry 4.0 tools, including artificial intelligence and advanced analytics technologies to reduce process variability, strengthen asset care, and shorten order-to-delivery cycles, while accelerating digital transformation across operational processes and supply chains to support data-driven decision-making and improve overall performance efficiency.

Riyadh Cement was recognized among the Top-10 national companies (out of ~1,300) for Industrial Transformation. We began deploying an AI Quality Optimizer that predicts clinker-quality deviations and auto-adjusts operations, and we are rolling out Digital Plant Projects across all three plants: real-time production monitoring, predictive maintenance, quality-control systems and digital-twin optimization.
Information security & data integrity: Digitalization is matched with controls; we operate under ISO 27001 for information security and maintain ISO 9001 quality-management processes that anchor data governance and traceability.
STRATEGIC INTENT
Reduce carbon and resource intensity, while securing long-term energy competitiveness and compliance with evolving standards.
WHERE WE ARE IN 2025
We delivered a 3% reduction in specific electrical energy consumption per ton of cement (107 kWh/t vs. 110.4 kWh/t in 2024). Our Waste-Heat Recovery (ORC) program—the first of its kind at a Saudi cement plant—is under construction with 12.7 MW (gross) cumulative capacity expected.
Specific energy: 3% vs. 2024 baseline; sustain reductions through ORC commissioning and process debottlenecking
WHR/ORC: 12.7 MW (gross) under construction; commission phases and integrate generation into plant energy dashboards
Afforestation: 10,000 cumulative seedlings produced; continue scaling toward the Million Tree target aligned with the Saudi Green Initiative
