Deep dive: Ades attributed its topline growth to a completed acquisition in Saudi in 4Q 2022 that added four operations rigs to its portfolio and the launch of 14 rigs from the 19 contracts signed with Aramco among other drivers. The growth in bottomline came on the back of SAR 140.7 mn in non-recurring expenses and non-cash income recognized during FY 2022.
Its operations in Algeria saw the biggest growth last year, with its revenues from the North African country rising 175.9% y-o-y to SAR 70.5 mn. This comes on the back of contributions from two new rigs from a recent contract award and higher utilization rates, it said.
