The profit decline is attributed to a 2.61% year-on-year (YoY) decline in sales despite the improvement in the profit margins ratio by 2.02%. Profit was also hit by an increase in general and administrative expenses, in addition to the YoY rise in marketing expenses due to marketing of new branches in Kuwait and the UAE.
Financial lease costs edged higher due to the company's expansion and opening of new branches in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait.
Meanwhile, the company did not pass the increase in costs to the customers to maintain prices and market share.
Additionally, net profit for 2022 included the sale of a property owned by the company for a value of SAR 35 million, which resulted in a net non-recurring capital gain of SAR 16.6 million during the fourth quarter of the previous year.
