Gross Income 808.33 1,183.74 46.4 %
Operating Income 159.55 338.20 112.0 %

Average Shares 212.89 301.64 41.7 %
EPS (Riyals) 0.45 1.00 123.3 %

The rise was due to a 19.20% growth in dairy and food segment revenues and a 6.03% increase in agricultural segment sales.

 

The cost of sales to revenue ratio retreated by 7.02% year-on-year (YoY) in 2023, mainly due to a decrease in materials consumed because of lower material prices and higher production efficiency.

 

In 2023, the company received a one-time government subsidy of SAR 19.46 million to cover previous years' animal feed purchases.

 

In addition, NADEC raised its share of the joint project's profits to SAR 21.74 million from SAR 3.30 million in 2022.

 

NADEC completed the Zakat assessments from 2014–2018 by the end of 2023. Accordingly, it reported reversals of SAR 26 million.

 

Meanwhile, selling and marketing expenses rose mainly due to the increase in distribution costs and spending on marketing activities and promotional expenses. However, selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales declined by 0.62% YoY.

 

General and administrative expenses expanded in 2023 by 53.36% YoY on rising staff costs and professional consulting fees. The rise was mainly cited in the company's spending on future strategic projects.

 

The subsidy receivables amounted to SAR 40.5 million in 2023, compared to SAR 7.1 million in 2022.

 

NADEC recognized the impairment of SAR 24.03 million for idle assets and nonmoving construction work in progress.

 

Finance costs increased in 2023 by 55.67% YoY, mainly due to the increase in interest rates resulting from higher SAIBOR rates.
