The year-on-year (YoY) profit drop was mainly due to lower revenue from reduced realized and unrealized gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The bottom line was also pressured by a rise in financing costs.
These were partly offset by higher realized gains from the sale of stakes in associate companies and a greater share of profits from those associates.
Dividend income increased, while general and administrative expenses and estimated zakat charges both declined.
On a quarterly basis, SAIC’s profit also declined by 46.9% to SAR 9.88 million, due to lower unrealized gains on financial assets and lower dividend income.
Total shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, stood at SAR 1.23 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared to SAR 1.1 billion a year earlier.
