Arkan Building Materials Company posted a net profit of Dh30.2 million for 2017 compared to a loss of Dh82.3 million in the previous year.

The company attributed increase in profits to assets write off of Dh158 million taken on the closure of the Emirates Cement Factory.

"Net profit was also impacted by the increase in gas and electricity prices enforced last year by Dh78 million and the completion of the accounting treatment of the benefit from the government grant of Dh18 million received in July 2011," the company said.

The company's revenue also increased by 12 per cent to Dh908.6 million in 2017, compared to Dh812.8 million in 2016 due to improvement in sales across all product lines with pipes, blocks and dry mortar performing well.
