Element ListExplanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Revenue increased by 0.8% to SAR 590.6 million in Q1-25 (three months ended 31 March 2025) compared to SAR 585.8 million in Q1-24 (three months ended 31 March 2024).

Revenue growth in Q1-25 was supported by strong performance across all revenue streams, despite the absence of contributions from Dhahran Mall revenues, the first phase of which was handed over in early February 2025. Net rental revenue benefited from an improved like-for-like occupancy rate, which rose to 93.1% from 92.5% in Q1-24. In addition, the portfolio recorded a 9.7% year-on-year increase in footfall, reaching 34.7 million visitors in Q1-25 compared to 31.7 million in Q1-24, further reinforcing the top-line performance.

This growth was further driven by an increase in media sales and utilities and other revenue. Utilities and other revenue increased mainly due to the increase in charges related to engineering work services.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Net profit increased by 20.0% to SAR 222.7 million in Q1-25 (three months ended 31 March 2025) compared to SAR 185.6 million in Q1-24 (three months ended 31 March 2024)

The increase in Q1-25 net profit was driven by:

• Revenue grew by 0.8% to SAR 590.6 million.

• Cost of revenues decreased by 20.1% due to operational cost optimization.

• Other operating income rose to SAR 27.8 million, driven by gains from the sale of "Sahara Plaza".

• Advertising and promotional expenses decreased by 64.1% to SAR 4.3 million.

• Impairment loss on accounts receivable decreased by 18.0% to SAR 79.6 million.

The increase in net profit for Q1-25 compared to Q1-24 was partially offset by the following factors:

• Decrease in net fair value gain on investment properties (non-cash item) to SAR 44.5 million, compared to SAR 50.7 million.

• Increase in general and administrative expenses due to the reversal of employee-related provisions in the comparable quarter.

• Increase in other operating expenses driven by lease termination costs related to "Sahara Plaza", which was offset by the gain from sale of the same property.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the previous one is Revenue increased by 1.0% to SAR 590.6 million in Q1-25 (three months ended 31 March 2025), compared to SAR 584.7 million in Q4-24 (three months ended 31 December 2024). This was driven by 3.7% increase in net rental revenue to SAR 523.9 million in Q1-25, from SAR 505.0 million in Q4-24. Occupancy dropped slightly whilst the business continues to focus on its proactive tenant strategy to ensure optimum mix to help drive footfall numbers.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit (loss) during the current quarter compared to the previous one is Net profits reached to SAR 222.7 million in Q1-25 (three months ended 31 March 2025) compared to SAR 356.6 million in Q4-24 (three months ended 31 December 2024).

• Net fair value gain of investment properties (non-cash item) declined to SAR 44.5 million in Q1-25, compared to SAR 135.3 million in Q4-24.

• Cost of revenues increased due to the reversal of engineering fee provisions in Q4-24.

• Increase in general & administrative expenses and other operating expenses which mainly include the lease termination costs related to "Sahara Plaza".

• Slight increase in finance costs driven by the increase in the debts of development projects.

This decrease in net profit in Q1-25 compared to Q4-24 was partially offset by the following factors:

• Increase in other operating income mainly driven by gains from the sale of "Sahara Plaza".

• Advertising and promotional expenses decreased compared to Q4-24.
