The Company attributed the increase of 2014’s net profit compared to the last year to: 
-    The growth of sales by 12.4%, from core business segments, where sales growth in Poultry, Dairy & Juice and Bakery sales rose by 29.1%, 12.1% and 6.1%, respectively. 
-    2014’s net profit increased for all business segments except Poultry whose loss increased by 17.3%. 
-    The increase of Selling & Distribution expenses as well as General& Administrative expenses and depreciation resulting from continuous infrastructure expansion across product categories, distribution, geographies and operations and past investments.
-     Net Finance Costs reduction in 2014 due to better cash management and hedge activates.
The increase of net profit in Q4-2014 compared to the same period last year was attributed to:
-     The growth of quarter sales by 10.7%, as a result of continuous sales growth in the Poultry, Dairy & Juice segments by 34.1% and 10.7% respectively, in spite of decrease in the Bakery segment sales by 3.8%. 
-    A relatively stable cost of sales for the quarter led to a growth in gross profit by 24.0%. 
-    Selling & Distribution as well as General & Administrative expenses and Depreciation increased due to the continuous infrastructure expansion across product categories, distribution, geographies and past investments. 
-    Q4 saw a reduction in Net Finance Costs.
-     Overall Net profit increase for all business segments except Poultry, which loss reduced by 43.0% to (SAR 72.0 million).
The decline of net profit in Q4-2014 compared to the previous period (Q3-2014) was attributed to:
-     Increase of Selling & Distribution expenses by 18.2% which led to decrease of operating profit by 18.9% while revenue growth was only 1.9% 
-    The different product mix in quarter 4 compared with quarter 3 due to the seasonality which included Ramadan and summer resulted in lower profit. Therefore; a comparison with the same period last year is more relevant because a quarter-to-quarter comparison is more aligned to similar market conditions and demand patterns.
