The profit increase was mainly due to the SAR 587 million uptick in gross profit, as revenues grew year-on-year (YoY) by 25.4%. This was offset by the YoY rise in the cost of sales of SAR 1.64 million.
On the other hand, operating expenses climbed YoY by SAR 360 million in 2023. This came as both general and administration expenses soared YoY by SAR 110 million, with selling and distribution expenses also up YoY by SAR 250 million for the same year.
Zakat and tax expenses also increased YoY by SAR 92 million last year.
In Q4 2023, net profit fell 17.8% to SAR 162 million from SAR 197 million in Q4 2022.
