Element ListExplanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current year compared to the last year Revenue remained stable during 2025, decreasing by less than 1% compared to 2024, as the slight decline in sales volumes was largely offset by improved selling prices.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current year compared to the last year is Net profit improved significantly in 2025 compared to 2024, mainly due to a 3% reduction in cost of revenue, a 22% decrease in selling and distribution expenses, a 26% decline in general and administrative expenses, reversal of impairment losses on financial assets, absence of prior-year write-offs, and a 179% increase in other operating income. This was further supported by a 31% reduction in zakat expense, resulting in a turnaround from net loss to net profit.
