SMASCO cited a SAR 3.2 million (5.9%) annual increase in administrative and general expenses due to higher professional consulting fees, depreciation, maintenance, cleaning costs for new buildings, and listing fees for 2024.
During the same year, other revenues decreased by SAR 3.7 million on an annual basis. This was primarily due to lower returns on Islamic Murabaha investments, impacted by changes in invested amounts and maturity rates.
The company's overall gross profit declined by 13% year-on-year (YoY) in 2024, mainly due to the individuals segment that was hurt by the recent price caps and other regulatory requirements.
