The improved results in the nine-month period were attributed to lower expenses and higher earnings from associates, as well as a reversal of provisions and the reduction of Zakat resulting from the settlement. This was despite the faltering liquidity and the corresponding cessation of operations, paired with the company's entry into the financial restructuring procedure.

 

The company narrowed Q3 2023 losses to SAR 882,000, from SAR 34.93 million a year earlier.

 

On a quarterly basis, the company also cut the three-month loss from SAR 5.83 million in Q2 2023.
