This was due to lower sales from the water segment, along with higher expenses related to opening and expanding branches.
In addition, the company cited rising transportation costs as well as expenses of the poultry segment, which is still part of the company's future expansion plan. This was alongside a shift in the sales mix of water products due to consumer preferences towards purchasing lower-margin varieties.
The company posted a 17% fall in Q2 2024 earnings to SAR 11 million, compared with SAR 13.22 million a year earlier, driven mainly by changes in sales of both the retail and wholesale segments, as well as a fall in wholesale sales, which contributed to the overall sales decrease.
