This was attributed to a rise of SAR 36.5 million in overall profit resulting from an improvement in commercial items and operational efficiency, in addition to a decrease of SAR 21.6 million in impairment loss on non-financial assets.
The drop in administrative and general expenses, selling and marketing expenses, financing charges, and Zakat charges also contributed to cutting losses.
This was despite lower sales on retail stagnation in general, delayed arrival of new items and products, and selling a large portion of old inventory at clearance prices.
