| Element | EXPLAINATION |
|---|---|
| Reasons of increase (decrease) for quarter compared with same quarter last year | Increase in revenue of SAR 8 million was over-shadowed by increases in energy prices, provision for additional warehouse rentals, and higher repair maintenance costs, decreasing the gross profit by SAR 6 million. Operating Profit decreased mainly due to further increase in payroll related expenses. Share of results from equity accounted associates decreased due to provision of SAR 4 million in one of the associated companies. Other income has increased mainly due to reversal of a provision, which is no longer required. |

Despite the provision of SAR 4 million for one of the associates, the overall performance of equity accounted associates has improved as compared to last year.
