The losses are attributed to lower licenses for new programs that have high profitability, as sales of these programs did not proceed at a regular pace during the year.

In addition, the sales team grew to support the company's expansion plans and sell new products.

Operating expenses (OpEx) rose due to the investments in some subsidiaries in the spending phase, at a cost of SAR 2.9 million. These subsidiaries did not start to generate revenues in H1 2023.

In the year-ago period, KnowledgeNet achieved a non-recurring income of SAR 2.76 million as profit from the sale of an investment in a subsidiary and profits from the sale of financial assets.
