Dividend distribution is scheduled for 10 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement comes as the company <strong>reported positive financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, delivering revenue growth, improved operating performance, and continued market leadership across its core product categories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a challenging operating environment, <strong>SADAFCO successfully delivered against its 2025 priorities<\/strong> of driving volume growth while protecting and strengthening market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The business achieved high single-digit volume growth across the portfolio<\/strong>. Notably, SADAFCO\u2019s flagship SKU \u2014 1-litre UHT milk \u2014 recorded <strong>14% volume growth<\/strong>. In addition, its ice cream hero product, Saudia Sandwich, accelerated significantly, delivering close to <strong>20%<\/strong><strong> volume growth<\/strong> in the second half of 2025 in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market share performance was equally strong. <strong>Comparing year-end 2024 with year-end 2025, SADAFCO recorded substantial gains across key categories: +550 basis points<\/strong> for 1-litre milk, <strong>+540 basis points<\/strong> for flavoured milk, and <strong>+150 basis points <\/strong>for ice cream (AC Nielsen, Nov 24 vs Nov 25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SADAFCO recorded full-year revenue of <strong>SAR 2.99 billion, representing a 4.96% increase year-on-year<\/strong>, reflecting strong consumer demand and continued progress in strategic growth channels. This performance builds on momentum seen earlier in the year, <strong>with first-half revenue reaching SAR 1.56 billion, an 8.6% increase compared to the same period in 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operating profit increased to SAR 483.6 million, up 1.21%, supported by disciplined execution and operational focus<\/strong>. <strong>Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders rose 1.73% to SAR 489.5 million,<\/strong> demonstrating the company\u2019s ability to maintain resilient profitability while continuing to invest in future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First-half net profit reached SAR 243.8 million, while net profit for the first nine months stood at SAR 428.31 million, underscoring consistent earnings strength across the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance was underpinned by strong momentum in high-growth channels, <strong>with e-commerce sales rising by 54.9%, <\/strong>the out-of-home channel growing by <strong>38.4%, and export sales<\/strong> <strong>increasing by 26.0%.<\/strong> SADAFCO also continued to expand its international footprint, entering new export markets, <strong>while its Mlekoma operations delivered a 29.8% year-on-year increase in sales, reinforcing the benefits of its international expansion strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company maintained its leadership across key categories<strong>, retaining market share positions of 58.4% in UHT milk, 51.3% in tomato paste, and 30.5% in ice cream.<\/strong> <strong>A healthy gross margin of 31.1% supported an overall profitability level of 15.9%, reflecting the strength of SADAFCO\u2019s product portfolio and operational resilience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commenting on the results, Patrick Stillhart, Chief Executive Officer of SADAFCO,<\/strong> said: \u201cOur 2025 performance reflects the strength of our strategy and the disciplined execution of our teams across the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By accelerating growth in high-potential channels, expanding our international footprint, and reinforcing our leadership across core categories, we continue to build a more resilient and future-ready company.
