The annual profit drop was primarily due to the 8% year-on-year (YoY) revenue slump in 2024. This was due to the company's focus on future expansion in the retail sector, with the total value of bottled drinking water sales also soaring by year-end.

 

In addition, Naqi Water witnessed an increase in selling and distribution expenses as well as transportation costs on the elevated fuel (diesel) prices as of 2024-start.

 

However, a 7% YoY decrease in the 2024 cost of sales contributed to maintaining stable operating margins and limiting the financial impact of weaker revenues for the year.

 

In Q4 2024, net profit fell 43% to SAR 1.3 million, against SAR 2.36 million in Q4 2023.
