The company recorded a non-recurring gain of SAR 356.51 million last year from its investment in Arabian Mills for Food Products Co.
 
The gain was recognized as part of the listing of 30% of Arabian Mills’ shares on the Main Market, under which NADEC and the other shareholders agreed to sell 30% of their respective stakes. As a result, NADEC recognized a realized gain of SAR 103.19 million from the sale, in addition to unrealized fair value gains of SAR 253.32 million during the year.
 
Moreover, NADEC attributed the decline to a 3.53% increase in cost of sales, driven by changes in product mix and higher production costs, as well as an 8.4% rise in selling and marketing expenses due to increased distribution costs.
