| ELEMENT LIST | EXPLANATION | ||||||
| The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current year compared to the last year is | Although there has been a drop in wholesales and retail sales of school and office supplies which were negatively affected by the shift from the traditional education format to the remote learning to control the spread of coronavirus pandemic, but the increase in retail sales of electronics, computers, computer supplies, arts supplies and video games sections drove the total sales up 10.5%. Increased number of showrooms from 59 to 63 partly contributed to retail sales increase. Despite the sales increase of 10.5%, net income increase was limited to 1.9% due to: - relative decline in profit margins mainly attributed to the change in sales mix, which involved a greater weight of relatively low margin sections. - increase of general and administrative expenses which included the company’s contribution to the Ministry of Health’s Health Endowment Fund for an amount of 20 million Riyals and the company's contribution to support Atta Digital campaign sponsored by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology for around 5 million Riyals. - increase of zakat expense. | ||||||
