The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is | Despite robust seasonal demand, Group revenues declined by 7% year-on-year to SAR 1.1 billion in Q2-25, mainly due to the earlier timing of Ramadan: • KSA retail revenues were down 16% year-on-year, primarily due to the calendar shift of Ramadan into Q1-25, which affected the seasonal comparability of sales. • International retail revenues increased 15 % year-on-year. This positive momentum was driven by strong growth in key markets, including Uzbekistan (+25%), Georgia (+30%), and Azerbaijan (+12%) in Q2-25, underscoring the success of Cenomi Retail’s international expansion strategy. • F&B segment revenues remained stable in Q2-25 at SAR 83 million, supported by targeted promotional activity, marketing campaigns, including new product launches for Subway and Cinnabon. • Online revenues rose by 9% year-on-year to SAR 84 million. Growth was supported by strong performance from Zara and Inditex as well as F&B supported by Cinnabon & Subway across both KSA and international markets. Online sales continued to gain momentum, underpinned by promotional activity and shifting consumer preferences. This performance underscores the Company’s ongoing commitment to delivering a seamless omnichannel experience by further integrating its online and offline retail channels. These efforts are actively enhancing like-for-like performance and driving continued growth in online sales, as Cenomi Retail advances its integrated digital and physical retail strategy. |
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 loss for Q2-25 totaled SAR 85 million, compared to a net profit of SAR 84 million in Q2-24, primarily driven by lower operating income and higher other operating expenses, largely due to foreign currency-related losses and tax liability settlement , whilst significant efforts in cost reduction and operational optimization were implemented in SG&A: • In Q2-25, gross profit totalled SAR 189 million, a 9% decline year-on-year from SAR 207 million in Q2-24, mainly due to the timing shift of the holy month of Ramadan, which fell entirely within Q1-25 this year, concentrating the seasonal uplift in that earlier period. • SG&A expenses decreased by 6% YoY, reaching SAR 98 million in Q2-25, driven by Cenomi Retail’s commitment to cost rationalization and operational efficiencies. • Other operating income declined by 81% YoY to SAR 26 million, due to a capital gain recorded in the period last year as a result of the brand divestment program , which contributed to a higher comparative base. • Other operating expenses increased by 280% to SAR 95 million driven by driven by foreign exchange losses due to the appreciation of the euro (EUR) against the Saudi riyal (SAR), alongside tax settlements paid to ZATCA. |
