The net losses were attributed to lower sales of some of a subsidiary’s key products. Gross profit fell due to reduced sales volume and an unfavorable product mix at the same unit.
Selling and marketing expenses rose year-on-year (YoY) on higher hiring costs, while general and administrative (G&A) expenses increased annually.
Provisions for expected credit losses rose, in line with IFRS 9 standards. Other income declined during the period. This came despite a drop in Zakat provisions.
The company narrowed net losses in Q1 2025 from SAR 2.51 million in Q4 2024.
Total shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, fell to SAR 141.8 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to SAR 145.7 million a year earlier.
