The company attributed these losses to lower gross profit at its subsidiary for 2025, resulting from weaker sales and margin fluctuations.

 

It also cited the continued dumping of Chinese and Korean products, though these repercussions are expected to ease over time.

 

Additional pressuring factors included higher selling, marketing, and administrative expenses, increased employee costs and provisions, a wider expected credit loss provision given some delayed receivables, and rising financing costs in 2025.

 

Losses, however, contracted by 52% in Q4 2025 to SAR 1.2 million, compared to SAR 2.5 million in Q4 2024.

 

On a sequential basis, the company also trimmed its losses by 57.1% from SAR 2.79 million in Q3 2025.
