Gross Income 66.73 69.16 3.6 %

Average Shares 100.00 100.00 -

The profit rise was spurred by a higher average selling price for the local market despite the decrease in sales volume for the group (due to Ramadan month overlap with the current quarter). This is in addition to the company's higher share of associates and lower finance costs.

 

Compared to Q4 2023, the first-quarter net profit leapt 65.3% from SAR 32.78 million, thanks to an increase in average selling price for the local market despite the decrease in sales volume (due to Ramadan month overlap with the current quarter).

 

Shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, stood at SAR 2.62 billion as of March 31, 2024, down from SAR 2.68 billion in a year-earlier period.
