EPS (Riyals) 3.54 3.90 10.0 %

This was fueled by the expanded fleet for both short- and long-term rentals in 2023. This was coupled with the year-on-year (YoY) increase in sales of used cars for the same year, which boosted revenue growth.

 

The annual profit growth came despite the YoY uptick in operating expenses and financing costs.

 

In Q4 2023, net profit stood at SAR 66.1 million, up 2% from SAR 65.09 million a year earlier.

 

On a quarterly basis, net profit declined 7.5% from SAR 71.50 million in Q3 2023.
