This report is based on public company disclosures, filings and announcements reviewed by GSN; figures are as stated by the company and have not been independently verified.

Al-Yamamah Steel Company (Tadawul: 1304) has signed a contract worth SAR 103.14 million to supply steel towers to a branch of National Power Construction Corporation Ltd. for a 380 kV ultra-high-voltage transmission line project in Saudi Arabia’s Western Region, according to a report by Argaam of the company’s statement to the Saudi Exchange dated September 17, 2026.

The company said the contract runs for one year, with supply scheduled to begin in February 2027, and that its financial impact will appear in the first quarter of 2027. It added that there are no related parties to the transaction, Argaam reported.

GSN reviewed the Argaam report of the disclosure rather than the exchange notice itself. The report is short, and the facts above are the whole of it: a buyer, a project type, a value, a duration, a start month, a quarter of first financial impact and a statement on related parties.

Reading the filing

What the disclosure does say is more than a bare contract value. It names the buyer, a branch of National Power Construction Corporation, and the use, towers for a 380 kV transmission line in the Western Region. It gives a start date for supply, February 2027, and says the financial effect begins in the first quarter of 2027, which is consistent with the supply date. It states that no related parties are involved, which is the company’s own assertion.

What it does not say starts with quantity. The notice gives no number of towers and no tonnage of steel, so a price per tower or per tonne cannot be derived from it, and a reader cannot compare this order with the company’s other tower work. It gives no margin, no payment terms and no advance payment, so the timing of cash, as opposed to the timing of the financial impact, is not disclosed. It does not name the owner of the transmission line for which the contractor is buying the towers, or say whether the price is fixed or subject to steel price adjustment over the year it runs.

The one-year term is ambiguous in the report as published. Supply begins in February 2027; the report does not say whether the year runs from the signing in September 2026 or from the first delivery, and the difference determines whether the order is delivered across 2027 or wound up early in that year. Nor does the notice put the SAR 103.14 million against the company’s annual revenue or order book, so its scale relative to the business is not stated in the document.

The phrase “financial impact will appear in Q1 2027” commits the company to timing, not to an amount. It does not say how much of the contract value will be recognized in that quarter or over what schedule the rest follows. There is no independent party named in the disclosure; the statement is the company’s, made under the exchange’s disclosure rules, and Argaam’s report reproduces it without addition.

The item is new. Nothing in the report marks it as a repeat of an earlier announcement, and no prior agreement with the same buyer is mentioned.

Questions worth asking

How many towers, or how many tonnes, does SAR 103.14 million buy? Without a quantity the price cannot be compared with the company’s other supply contracts or with steel prices over the delivery period.

Does the one year run from signing or from the February 2027 start of supply? The report gives both dates but does not tie the term to either, so the delivery profile across 2027 is unclear.

Is the price fixed, or does it adjust with steel input costs? A supply contract signed in September 2026 with deliveries starting in February 2027 and running for a year carries input cost exposure, and the disclosure does not say who bears it.

Which transmission project is this, and who is the end owner? The notice names the contractor’s branch and the voltage class but not the line, the grid owner or the project’s own timetable, on which the tower deliveries depend.

Key terms in this story

Ultra-high-voltage transmission line. A power line built to carry electricity at the highest voltage classes used in a grid, strung on tall steel lattice towers. The towers Al-Yamamah is to supply are for such a line in the Western Region, and the buyer is a construction contractor rather than the grid owner.

Material contract disclosure. A notice a listed company must publish when it signs an agreement large enough to affect its results. The Saudi Exchange statement reported by Argaam is such a notice, and its brevity is typical of the form.

Related parties. Companies or people connected to the issuer through ownership or management. Al-Yamamah’s statement that there are none tells a reader the buyer is an unconnected customer and the price was not set between affiliates.

Financial impact. In exchange notices, the period in which a contract begins to affect the income statement. Here it is the first quarter of next year, matching the start of supply, and the notice gives no amount.

What to watch

February 2027: supply under the contract is scheduled to begin, the company said.

First quarter of 2027: the contract’s financial impact is expected to appear, according to the company’s statement.
