Profits amounted to SAR 22.1 million by the end of December 2019, compared with SAR 7.1 million for 2018, according to the company’s statement to the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul).

This means that during the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2019, profits amounted to SAR 4.9 million, versus losses of SAR 8.4 million in Q4-18.
