NAHDI MEDICAL-
NahdiMedical’s net income fell 8.1% y-o-y to SAR 820.7 mn in FY 2024, weighed down by a rise in operating expenses on the back of continued investment in new sale points, sales digitization, and geographic expansion, according to a disclosure toTadawul.
MEANWHILE- Revenues were up 8.4% y-o-y at SAR 9.4 bn during the period, “supported by the growth of Nahdi’s pharmacy business, increased prescription flow, expanded ins. partnerships, and a broader product assortment,” CFO Mohammed Alkhubani said in an earnings release (pdf).
On a 4Q basis: Nahdi’s net income decreased 7.4% y-o-y to SAR 157.9 mn in 4Q 2024, as rising operating expenses offset an increase in gross income. Meanwhile, the company’s revenue inched up 6.7% to SAR 2.4 bn over the same quarter on the back of growth in its retail, healthcare and UAE businesses.
Looking ahead: The company will focus on investing in digital platforms and the UAE market as it looks to strengthen its retail presence in 2025, added Alkhubani. Nahdi currently has 1.2k pharmacies in the Kingdom and 25 in the UAE.
