The report presents a separate geographic-revenue total of SAR 1,051,705 thousand. It is not substituted for the FY2025 revenue measure above because the report does not provide a reconciliation on these pages. Source 29

Disclosure is part of trust.

The Board’s declarations and regulatory disclosures sit alongside the year’s achievements in the official report.

The Board states that accounting records were properly prepared, internal controls effectively implemented and the business able to continue operations.

Regulatory disclosure

The report records three environmental-compliance penalties: SAR 50,000, SAR 20,000 and SAR 10,000. Appeals were filed; the initial rulings were upheld.

A clear line toward the future.

Management’s stated direction centers on operational efficiency, digital transformation, sustainable industrial practices and diversified markets.

The 2025 Board Report provides no quantitative FY2026 revenue, profit, volume, capex or dividend guidance.

This experience is an interpretive layer over the official disclosure. The full 2025 Board of Directors’ Report remains the authoritative source.

The Arabic experience is an interpretive translation and has not been approved by the Company. The supplied English report is authoritative.
