Revenues fell 59% year-on-year (YoY) as earnings from projects and operations declined. In addition, 2023 included one-off revenue impact of SAR 263 million.

 

The developer posted a gross loss of SAR 119 million in 2024 against a gross profit of SAR 432 million in 2023.

 

Also, gross profit on projects dropped by SAR 507 million due to decreased sales of residential properties and industrial and commercial land plots, in addition to the impact of the one-off revenue of SAR 263 million during 2023.

 

The company also cited an increase in gross loss from operations by SAR 44 million mainly due to lower hospitality revenue.

 

Additionally, operating expenses, including general administrative and marketing, increased in 2024, on higher employee costs, legal provisions, and marketing expenses.

 

Financial charges rose by SAR 136 million, driven by the utilization of additional loan facility of SAR 550 million during 2024 in addition to slightly higher SAIBOR.

 

Other operating income declined SAR 102 million in 2024 on lower gains on disposal of investment property at SAR 47 million. -

 

Emaar EC recorded a loss share of SAR 93 million in equity accounted investees during 2024.

 

However, this was partially offset by the reversal provision for expected credit loss (ECL) at SAR 70 million in 2024, compared to SAR 19 million in 2023.
