RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Aramco has remained the world's most profitable company after reporting first-half net earnings of $46.9 billion.

Saudi Aramco announced its financial results for the first half on Monday.

Gross income was recorded at $92.5 billion, around 10% below the comparable period of last year of $101.3 billion, reflecgting lower oil prices this year.

"Despite lower oil prices during the first half of 2019, we continued to deliver solid earnings and strong free cash flow underpinned by our consistent operational performance, cost management and fiscal discipline," President and CEO of Aramco Amin H. Nasser said Monday.
