In Q3 2020, net profit after Zakat and tax fell by 16.3% YoY to SAR 255.2 million, hit by a decline in sales of several retail sections, particularly school and office supplies, as well as smart phones. Net profit was also hit by lower sales in most wholesale sections.
School and office supplies, and wholesale sections were negatively affected by the precautionary measure taken by the competent authorities to shift the traditional education process to remote learning. Sales were also hit by the VAT hike from 5% to 15%.
