Higher Revenues driven by:

  • Higher dates volumes benefiting from positive pre-Ramadan sales and strong performances in Bulk and Retail channels

  • Higher bakery volumes on opening of schools in Kuwait

  • Higher sales in traditional trade for BMB snacks compensating lower sales to KSA

Lower profitability margin as improved margins across dates and bakery were offset by healthy snacks business that was impacted by custom duty in 2022, higher raw material / freight costs

  • 1Snacking includes Al Foah Dates + Faysal Bakery + BMB snacks revenues including intercompany sales

2NCI = non-controlling interest of 20% for BMB where beneficial ownership is at 80% vs. legal ownership at 100%,
