The year-on-year (YoY) decline in profit was attributed to a 12% drop in gross profit, driven by higher material and operating costs, as well as a greater contribution from lower-margin projects to the revenue mix.
Zakat expenses surged 165% YoY, following an increase in the Zakat base due to the capital hike in the IPO.
This came despite a rise in revenues, supported by a 43% YoY increase in building construction income, fueled by continued growth in office-related projects and expansion in residential developments.
This offset weaker revenues from commercial and retail projects. Building material revenues also rose 26% YoY.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses fell 24% YoY due to lower expected credit losses. Moreover, financing costs plunged 85% as the company reduced reliance on external funding.
Compared to H2 2024, the six-month bottom line tumbled by 73% from SAR 16.09 million.
Total shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, reached SAR 89.84 million by June 30, 2025, compared to SAR 30.88 million in the prior-year period.
