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 |
