Revenue increased by 9.4% year-on-year (YoY) during the current year to SAR 6.78 billion. Higher sales from the retail segment were driven by a notable improvement in the customers’ shopping experience and the growth of the e-commerce segment.
eXtra also cited growth in consumer finance income, supported by a 28.4% increase in the consumer finance portfolio during the same period, in addition to the enhanced sales mix, despite higher selling, distribution, and general and administrative expenses.
When excluding the impact of non-recurring events, including the discontinuation of the company's expansion plans in Egypt during the last year, the reversal of SAR 16.3 million provisions related to potential obligations no longer needed in the current year, and a SAR 10.5 million debt recovery, adjusted net profit growth rate would have become 18.5%.
Q4 2024 net earnings jumped 41% to SAR 177.7 million, compared to SAR 126.08 million in the year-earlier period.
Revenue grew 7.4% year-on-year to SAR 1.67 billion due to an increase in sales volume in retail and e-commerce segments.
It is worth noting that the net profit for the current quarter included SAR 10.5 million from the reversal of provisions after recovering amounts previously associated with debts granted by United Electronics Company in the retail sector.
Excluding the financial impact of this reversal, the adjusted net profit growth would be 32.6%.
