Compared With The
Item Q1 2023 Q1 2024 Change‬
Revenues 174.07 196.42 12.8 %
Gross Income 56.64 82.78 46.1 %
Operating Income 47.58 65.42 37.5 %

Average Shares 90.00 105.45 17.2 %
EPS (Riyals) 0.61 0.70 15.3 %

The first-quarter profit rise was spurred by sales growth, thanks to an increase in sales volumes and the company’s average selling price. This was offset by higher general and administrative expenses (G&A).

 

Quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), the company’s net profit climbed 81.5% from SAR 40.8 million on better sales. On the other hand, G&A increased on a sequential basis.

 

Total shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, declined to SAR 1.59 billion by March 31, 2024, from SAR 1.66 billion a year earlier.
