Financials (M)

Item 2023 2024 Change‬
Revenues 1,099.35 1,244.89 13.2 %
Gross Income 230.30 197.75 (14.1 %)
Operating Income 75.09 51.80 (31.0 %)
Net Income 62.66 27.10 (56.8 %)
Average Shares 30.00 30.00 -
Earnings Per Share before unusual items (Riyals) 2.09 0.90 (56.8 %)
EPS (Riyal) 2.09 0.90 (56.8 %)

This came amid higher depreciation, which resulted in a SAR 25 million financial impact. This was due to the company’s capacity expansion and higher finance costs on lower interest capitalization (fueled a SAR 9 million financial impact).

 

Furthermore, the company allocated a SAR 8 million incremental provisions for bio assets, primarily due to the fair-value reassessment and the impairment on day-old chicks.

 

Excluding the depreciation impact, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) would have reached SAR 127.2 million, marking a 3.7% year-on-year (YoY) increase.

 

This came despite Entaj’s 13.2% YoY revenue growth to SAR 1.24 billion in 2024, given the elevated poultry sales. This was also supported by the company’s intense focus on modern trade and investments in production capacity expansion, besides work to enhance logistics capabilities and strengthen sales resources.
