The annual profit hike was spurred by the SAR 19.35 million year-on-year (YoY) increase in gross profit. This came amid higher revenues due to winning new projects, coupled with the elevated investment in an associate of SAR 240,000.

 

However, for the same period, operating expenses and financing costs climbed YoY by SAR 9 million and SAR 370,000, respectively. Further, other revenues plunged by SAR 2.6 million YoY amid the leap in Zakat and income tax expenses by SAR 1.42 million.

 

Shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, amounted to SAR 88.44 million by the end of the 12-month period, compared to SAR 68.42 million a year earlier.
