Zamil 2Q rev. 1.46B Riyals, +9.2% y/y

Zamil, a leading construction materials company, reported its second-quarter (2Q) results for the year ended June 30, 2025. The company's revenue for the period reached 1.46 billion Riyals, representing a 9.2% year-over-year increase. This growth was driven by robust demand for construction materials, particularly in the infrastructure sector [1].

Zamil's net income for the quarter was 375.2 million Riyals, up from 342.1 million Riyals in the same period last year. The company's earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were 0.32 Riyals, compared to 0.30 Riyals in the prior year. This improvement in EPS was primarily attributed to the company's strong revenue performance and effective cost management [1].

The company's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Ahmed Al-Juhani, commented on the results, stating, "We are pleased with the strong performance in the second quarter. The continued growth in infrastructure spending and our successful expansion efforts have driven our revenue growth. We remain confident in our ability to deliver consistent results in the coming quarters."

Zamil's performance during the second quarter contrasts with that of Martin Marietta Materials, another major player in the construction materials sector. Martin Marietta reported a 3% increase in revenue to $1.81 billion, but this figure fell short of analysts' expectations. The company cited varied demand as a key factor, with weakness in residential construction offsetting demand for infrastructure materials [2].

In comparison, Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, reported a significant increase in revenue and net income for the second quarter of 2025. Carlyle Group's revenue grew by 74% to $1.55 billion, while net income surged by 116% to $319.7 million. The company's profit margin also improved to 21% from 17% in the prior year [3].

Despite the strong performance of Zamil, the overall market sentiment for construction materials remains cautious. The company's growth prospects are closely tied to the broader economic conditions and the recovery in residential construction, which has been subdued due to affordability headwinds [2].
