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

"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.
