EPS (Riyals) 6.89 3.96 (42.6 %)

The profit decline was driven by a 13.65% year-on-year (YoY) decrease in revenue mainly due to a decline in income from the public relations and advertising segment, publishing, visual and digital content segment as well as printing and packaging segment. In addition, revenues from all other segments also edged lower.

 

Gross profit fell 20.9% YoY, in addition to the recognition of an impairment of property, equipment, and unproductive spare parts inventory related to the printing and packaging segment during the current period.
