Lazurde Company For Jewelry turned to a net loss after Zakat and tax of SAR 86.6 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared to a net profit of SAR 24.4 million in the same period a year earlier.
The company attributed the earnings to lower total and operating revenues from the group.
In Saudi Arabia, wholesale revenues were 53.3% lower than same period of last year, impacted by the complete closure of gold souks and malls since mid-March to end of April, reduced working hours in May and June due to COVID-19, and the tripling of VAT to 15%.
Wholesale revenues in Egypt declined by 29.6% compared to same period of last year due to reduced working hours in malls and souks in first half of the year due to COVID-19 and the sharp increase in gold price.
Retail revenues in Saudi Arabia decreased by 42.8% due to complete closure of malls to contain the spread of COVID-19. Meanwhile, in Egypt, retail revenues increased by 20.1% organically, driven by the opening of nine new locations in 2020 for Miss L’ and diamond jewelry.
