The profit decline is attributed to the increase in sales and marketing expenses to open new markets and regions to cover all parts of the Kingdom and abroad, in addition to the rise in the cost of sales and the cost of financing.
This came despite the increase in sales for 2024 to SAR 164.77 million compared to SAR 150.83 million in 2023, with a growth rate of 9%. This is due to the introduction of new products that contributed to increasing sales volume, in addition to increasing the sales of the subsidiary company and opening new markets inside and outside the Kingdom.
