During the nine-month period, SMASCO’s gross profit declined 6.7% year-on-year (YoY), primarily hurt by a decrease in the individuals segment’s gross profit due to reduced revenues from the implementation of service price ceilings and other requirements according to the issued regulations.
Additionally, general and administrative expenses (G&A) increased by SAR 6.4 million YoY, due to booking the company’s share of public offering expenses, higher employee costs, end-of-service provisions, and increased depreciation and rent expenses for new buildings.
On the other hand, the company’s topline grew by 3.69% YoY on improved revenue from other segments amid better operating activities
