The year-on-year (YoY) profit decline was due to lower sales as a result of the company's strategic plan and its focus on growing its retail bottled water business. However, the company maintained a higher gross profit YoY because of better control of the cost of sales.
In addition to an increase in selling and distribution expenses resulting from additional expansions in the retail sector and higher transportation costs due to the rise in fuel (diesel) costs, which began at the start of 2025.
Sequentially, Naqi Water’s net profit soared 172% from SAR 1.34 million in Q4 2024, driven primarily by the reduction in the cost of sales which influenced the gross profit margin, in addition to the realization of non-operating income.
Shareholders' equity, after minority interest, amounted to SAR 277.77 million in Q1 2025, compared to SAR 261.30 million in the prior-year period.
