The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current year compared to the last year is | The Group recorded net profit for the year ended 31 December 2022 amounting to SAR 743 million versus net profit of SAR 222 million for last year. The increase in net profit is mainly attributed to the following: - Increase in gross profit primarily due to improved gross profit in the Food Processing segment; - Higher share of profits from associates; - Capital gain amounting to SAR 42 million on the sale of an equity-accounted investment. The increase in net profit is despite the following: - Higher operating expenses; - Higher net finance cost; and - Higher zakat and income tax expense. The Group reported Revenues of SAR 28.1 billion during the year ended 31 December 2022 compared to SAR 24.7 billion for the same period last year, showing a 14% increase. |
