Higher sales from the retail segment in 2024 were driven by a notable improvement in the customers’ shopping experience and the growth of the e-commerce segment.

When excluding the impact of non-recurring events, including the discontinuation of the company's expansion plans in Egypt during the last year, the reversal of SAR 16.3 million provisions related to potential obligations no longer needed in the current year, and a SAR 10.5 million debt recovery, adjusted net profit growth rate would have become 18.5%.

 

The Q4 2024 net earnings jumped 36% to SAR 171.1 million, compared to SAR 126.08 million in the year-earlier period.

 

The fourth-quarter revenues grew 7.4% year-on-year to SAR 1.67 billion due to an increase in sales volume in the retail and the e-commerce segments.

 

It is worth noting that the net profit for the current quarter included SAR 10.5 million from the reversal of provisions after recovering amounts previously associated with debts granted by United Electronics Company in the retail sector.

 

Excluding the financial impact of this reversal, the adjusted net profit growth would be 32.6%.
