Revenues 2,116.67 2,465.87 16.5 %
Gross Income 242.27 271.52 12.1 %

Earnings Per Share before unusual items (Riyals) (1.80) (0.41) 77.4 %
EPS (Riyal) (1.80) (0.41) 77.4 %

The improved performance was mainly driven by a 16% year-on-year (YoY) rise in revenue to SAR 2.46 billion, supported by stronger operational efficiency and higher contribution margins, which helped absorb fixed costs.

 

The gross profit margin stood at 11% in 9M 2025, slightly down from 11.4% a year earlier, reflecting the execution of projects with a marginally lower profitability.

 

Operating profit more than doubled to SAR 68 million in 9M 2025, from SAR 31 million last year. This came thanks to a 2% YoY decline in selling, distribution, and administrative expenses and a 13% drop in expected credit losses.

 

Meanwhile, financing costs rose 36% YoY due to higher borrowing levels.
