- Net profit YoY decline was driven by a SAR 4.2 million increase in impairment provisions, an 82% drop in other income (SAR 17.9 million) due to non-recurring gains from asset disposals in the prior year, and a 311% rise in zakat and tax expenses (SAR 14.2 million).
- Sequentially, revenue grew 4.44% driven by a 103% surge in government sales (SAR 56.2 million).

Impact on the Stock
The stock's reaction is pending. The YoY earnings decline may weigh on sentiment, but the strong sequential improvement could provide support.
What This Means for Investors
The results show a significant sequential improvement in profitability driven by government contracts and cost optimization. However, the YoY decline in revenue and net profit highlights ongoing challenges in the private sales segment. Investors should monitor the sustainability of government contract revenues and the recovery of private sales.
