Net losses (before minority interest) amounted to SAR 5.6 million by the end of 2025, compared to a net profit of SAR 1.3 million a year ago.

 

The losses were mainly due to setting aside provisions for certain receivables, pre-operating costs for new BeefShots branch openings, and higher general and administrative expenses, all of which weighed heavily on the company’s 2025 financials.

 

Meanwhile, the full-year revenues rose due to increased sales of the Juice Time and the BeefShots brands, as well as improved sales of the Quiznos brand.

 

The fourth-quarter net loss widened to SAR 6.93 million, from SAR 1.31 million and SAR 740,000 in Q4 2024 and Q3 2025, respectively.
