Earnings Per Share before unusual items (Riyals) 0.13 (0.35) (364.1 %)
EPS (Riyal) (1.13) (1.47) (29.8 %)

The shift to losses was mainly due to lower revenue, driven by a decrease in dividend income from equity investments in the company’s portfolio, alongside higher zakat provisions and increased operating expenses during the period.

 

These factors were partially offset by lower unrealized losses from equity investments and a higher share of profit from associates, particularly from Arabtank Terminals Co. Ltd.
