The company attributed the loss to higher cost of services, general and administrative expenses, financial charges, selling and marketing expenses, and allowance for impairment in trade receivables.  

 

GO also cited lower other income, including a settlement signed with a major vendor in the similar period of last year that resulted in recognizing non-recurring other income of SAR 101 million, in addition to SAR 35.86 million finance income.  

 

This was despite an increase in revenue and lower depreciation & amortization expenses and Zakat.
