Shelia (LIAZ) Reports Higher Soda Ash Input Cost, Expects Gross Margin to Hold
Sahmino Newsroom | 25 October 2026 | 6 days ago
Shelia, trading as LIAZ, said in a Group B disclosure published on Saturday, October 24, 2026 that its purchase price for heavy soda ash, or sodium carbonate, had risen 11% to 258,800 rials. This is an input purchase price, not the selling price of its product. The company estimates that the increase will add less than 1% to its cost of sales.
Shelia expects its gross profit margin percentage to remain unchanged after its own product selling price increase. That is a company projection, not a realised financial result. This new report concerns input costs and is distinct from the previously disclosed rise in tissue selling prices. The Codal tracing number is 1619188.
