The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year isThe reason for the decrease in net profit during the first quarter of 2023, compared to a net profit during the first quarter of 2022, is mainly due to the following:

1- The Company’s share of the business results of an associate decreased by 53% during the first quarter of 2023, amounting to SAR 3.9 million, compared to SAR 8.3 million during the first quarter of 2022. It should be noted that profits from the Company’s share of the business results of an associate have been recorded based on the financial statements prepared by the management of the associate, according to the latest information available to date. Since the audited financial statements of the associate company for 2022 and the (unaudited) financial statements for the first quarter of 2023 have not been issued to date,
the Company’s management is following up with the associate on the necessary procedures to complete the preparation of the financial statements of the associate as soon as possible.
