EPS (Riyals) 0.42 0.64 51.0 %

The giant dairy and juice producer attributed the rise to the one-off gains made during the first 10 days of Ramadan and the subsidy related to food security measures taken by Almarai. These one-off benefits amounted to SAR 149 million, representing 35% growth in net profit YoY.

 

Almarai normalized profit grew by 16% YoY as revenue (+9%) recorded growth in all countries, products, and channels at the local currency level. Egypt revenue in Saudi Riyals terms declined YoY on the pound devaluation. 

 

Operating profit jumped 19% YoY. The current quarter witnessed stable global commodities cost at a higher level relative to historical costs (mainly corn, soya and alfalfa). However, higher inventory cover continued to impact cost of goods sold expenses.  

 

Better cost control, mainly for sales and marketing as well as general and administrative expenses, greatly buoyed the growth in operating profit.

 

Compared to Q4 2022, net profit leapfrogged 78.5% from SAR 355.82 million on seasonal adjustment in consumption patterns, driven by Ramadan advancement by 10 days in Q1 and the one-off gains made in the current quarter. 

 

Total shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, increased to SAR 17.23 billion as of March 31, 2023, from SAR 16.32 billion a year earlier.
