Revenue increased by 0.73% year-on-year (YoY) in 2024 on the back of SAR 180.29 million earnings from the new protein segment. This increase was partially offset by lower sales in dairy and beverages as well as agriculture segments.

The shareholders of Arabian Mills, including NADEC, offered to sell 30% of their holdings in the IPO.

Meanwhile, NADEC cited a treasury income of SAR 91.42 million earned on bank time deposits in 2024 compared to SAR 3.91 million for the previous year.
