In Q2 2024, the company’s profit almost doubled to SAR 8.1 million from SAR 4.1 million in Q2 2023, driven by higher sales despite the increase in average cost of sale impacted by higher fuel prices and financing cost.

 

Sequentially, net profit fell 34.7% from SAR 12.45 million in Q1 2024, attributed to lower sales due to Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha holidays.
