Before minority interest, the company recorded net earnings of SAR 4.1 million, against net losses of SAR 23.1 million in 2023.

 

The higher losses were attributed to the amortization of non-tangible assets in 2024.

 

However, Red Sea witnessed higher revenues in 2024, mainly driven by the strategic acquisition of a 51% stake in Fundamental Installation for Electric Work Co. (First Fix) in Q4 2023. This rise was spurred by the consolidation of the subsidiary's results for the full year in 2024 as compared to only the last quarter in the comparative period.

 

Further, by the end of 2024, Red Sea’s operating income jumped to SAR 70 million, versus SAR 6 million in year before.

 

In Q4 2024, Red Sea swung to net losses of SAR 17 million from a net profit of SAR 4.6 million in Q4 2023.

 

However, the three-month net losses narrowed from SAR 23.3 million in Q3 2024.
