The annual profit decline was due to higher feedstock costs for the meat factory and a reduction in the profit margin of new meat products in a bid for their increased market penetration.
Additionally, selling prices of potato finger products decreased in Q1 2025, while the cost of raw potato purchases and fuel costs soared, compared to last year.
Sequentially, the company turned to profit from losses of SAR 13.54 million in Q4 2024, thanks to the 69% quarter-on-quarter hike in Q1 2025 sales besides lower selling and administrative expenses for the same period.
Shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, amounted to SAR 243.46 million as of March 31, 2025, inching up from SAR 243.10 million a year earlier.
