The annual profit increase was driven by gains achieved from selling a share of the company’s investments in Iraq in Q1 2024. This came despite sales shrinking year-on-year (YoY) during the same quarter due to lower sales volumes.

 

Compared to Q4 2023, the company turned to profit against a loss of SAR 7.93 million, thanks to the significant impact of increasing the Zakat provision in the last three months of 2023.

 

Shareholders’ equity, excluding minority interest, stood at SAR 2.246 billion as of March 31, 2024, from SAR 2.248 billion a year earlier.
