Despite this, gross profit rose by SAR 14 million due to improved profit margins, better supplier contract terms, and stronger performance in the entertainment segment.

Shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, rose to SAR 690.64 million as of March 31, 2025, from SAR 667.58 million in the year-earlier period.
