Element List Explanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is The Company’s Sales Growth – Q1 2025

•Total revenue reached SAR 1,674 million

•This exhibits 13.7% increase from Q1 2024 (SAR 1,472.9 million)

Key Reasons for Growth:

1) Retail Grocery

• Strong seasonal campaigns helped boost sales

• 3 retail stores opened, including new convenience stores

• Sales benefited from stores opened in 2024 (full-period impact)

2) Tech Business

• Growth in Future Retail Tech’s (FTR) both companies: International Application Company (IACo) and Ykone.

• IACO had strong online sales due to:

• More dark stores were added;

• Better product availability;

• Fast order delivery; and

• Good support from delivery apps like Jahez and the Chefz

• Ykone grew well in Europe

• Also, continued strong performance in the Middle East; and

• Big improvement in India after the acquisition on Barcode business

3) Distribution Business

• The newly acquired Distribution business, which was acquired after the second quarter 2024, continued to show rising sales.

• Good growth compared to last year since joining BDH

4) Retail Pharmacy

• The newly acquired pharmacy business, which was acquired in Q1 2025, also contributed to BDH's revenue.

• Along with organic growth, 3 standalone pharmacies and 4 in-store pharmacies (within BinDawood and Danube stores) were launched in Q1 2025, contributing to overall sales.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Gross profit surged to SAR 528.7 million, driven by increased revenue and a margin improvement to 31.6% from 30.6% in similar quarter for last year, achieved in a challenging market through:

• Offered products that better match customer needs;

• Built stronger relationships with suppliers, led to getting better deals;

• Made overall operations more efficient; and

• The distribution & Pharma business (which has higher profit margins) helped increase gross profit compared to last year.

Total Operating Expenses

• Reached to SAR 438.5 million

• increased by 18.7% from SAR 369.5 million in Q1 2024

Main Reasons for the Increase:

• Additional costs from the retail pharmacy business, which was not included in Q1 2024.

• Additional costs from the distribution business, which was also not included in Q1 2024.

• Full-period impact of store operating costs due to:

- 10 stores opened last year

- New stores launched in Q1 2025

Net profit for Q1 2025 grew by 8.5%, reaching SAR 65.7 million, increased from SAR 60.5 million in Q1 2024, primarily driven by higher revenue and improved gross margin.

Partially offset by:

• An increase in operating expenses as explained above;

• A decline in deposit income; and

• Higher finance costs related to a recently obtained loan for the retail pharmacy acquisition

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the previous one is BDH demonstrated strong sequential momentum, with overall revenue expanding by 17.5% compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by:

Retail Grocery:

• The rollout of two express stores and one supermarket in Q1 2025;

• positive contributions from stores opened in Q4 2024; and

• The Company successfully capitalized on seasonal demand and optimized operations.

Tech Business:

• Ykone's performance was softer compared to the previous period, as most of its revenue is typically generated in the second half of the fiscal year due to seasonal factors; and

• In contrast, IACo experienced growth driven by increased online sales, as explained above, contributing to its overall revenue expansion.

Distribution Business:

• The newly integrated Distribution arm helped increase the Company’s total revenue

• It has shown fast growth since joining BDH’s ecosystem

• Which highlights the following:

- The synergies created through the integration; and

- An improved operational framework under BDH.

Retail Pharma:

• As explained above, the newly acquired pharmacy business added to overall revenue of BDH.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit (loss) during the current quarter compared to the previous one is Gross Profit – Q1 2025

• Gross profit increased by 3.1%, from SAR 512.8 million to SAR 528.7 million versus Q4 2024 which mainly due to strong sales momentum compared to the previous quarter.

Gross Profit Margin:

• Margin dropped from 36% in Q4 2024 to 31.6% in Q1 2025

• Main reasons for the drop:

- A conservative strategy, where some supplier rebates are recognized only when full-year results are more certain; and

- Positive contributions from Distribution, Tech, and the new retail pharmacy business, but with different margin profiles.

Net Profit:

• Net profit fell from SAR 109.7 million in Q4 2024 to SAR 65.7 million in Q1 2025

• Reasons for the decrease:

- Higher operating expenses

- Increased finance costs from the pharmacy business acquisition

- Lower finance income
