The company reported a net profit after Zakat and tax of SAR 53 million for the fiscal year 2019, a 7% year-on-year (YoY) decrease, according to data compiled by Argaam.

 

The drop was attributed to higher cost of sales as the company incurred pre-opening costs, as well as operating expenses and amortization expenses of projects that entered into operational stage.

The company also cited the implementation of IFRS 16, and the accounting treatment of financial charges for completed projects.
