Sales grew by 4.71% year-on-year (YoY) in 2024 amid higher profit margins and improved rental revenues.

 

In addition, an increase in share of associates’ profits was recorded in 2024, as the company realized about SAR 161.3 million (after Zakat) from the IPO of Fourth Milling Co. (MC4).

 

Also in 2024, the Saudi-listed firm reversed Zakat provisions worth SAR 17.7 million for prior years.

 

Meanwhile, expenses related to new store openings, mainly finance cost of lease contracts, jumped by SAR 28.6 million, coming in accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases”.

 

Borrowing costs also surged by SAR 13.3 million in 2024, in tandem with a SAR 10.8 million decline in income from Shariah-compliant deposits.

 

The fourth-quarter net profit soared 73% to SAR 286.5 million, from SAR 165.7 million in Q4 2023, fueled by strong sales and higher share from associates' earnings.

 

Sequentially, Al Othaim’s bottom line leapt 280% from SAR 75.39 million in Q3 2024.
