×A look at Jarir's expected operating performance in 2020
Jarir Marketing Co. will likely report around 5% profit growth in 2020, unless hit by the COVID-19 outbreak, according to the company's board report for 2019.
Jarir is pursuing a strategy aimed at cutting profit margins to boost its market share amid the current economic conditions. It is also implementing its expansionary plans, penetrating new areas in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and other countries.
Jarir is seeking to grow its e-platform by 8% and client base by 15%. It is also looking to double the size of the current distribution network and access new markets in 2020.
Jarir increased its rent space (showrooms, offices, and housing units) to 79,258 square meters by end of 2019, compared to 55,767 square meters before, expecting to boost rent space by 5,380 square meters by 2020.
In addition, Jarir is targeting a distribution rate of 80-100%, unless weighing on the company's financial requirements.
Jarir's profit grew by 3% year-on-year (YoY) in FY2019, compared to the board of directors' growth estimates of 7-10%, on higher operating expenses and increased cost of finance.
