Almarai earnings top $667m as revenue grows

Saudi dairy producer Almarai has reported a rise in net profit in 2025, driven by higher revenue growth, cost control and lower funding costs.

Net earnings increased by 6 percent year on year to SAR2.5 billion ($667 million), while revenues rose by 5 percent to SAR22 billion.

The dairy and juice segment’s profit rose due to sales growth across the board, in addition to tight cost controls, the company said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange.

An improved sales revenue mix supported the bakery segment’s earnings.

Poultry profit was up due to improved economies of scale and expansion projects.

The top line rose by 6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 to SAR5.5 billion, compared to SAR5.2 billion a year ago, as all product categories – poultry, food, dairy, bakery and water – reported growth. Profit was up 8 percent year on year to SAR465 million.

Almarai said it expects the top line to continue growing, driven by stable macroeconomic momentum and improved business performance.

In June Almarai purchased Pure Beverages Industry Company, the owner of the Ival and Oska bottled water brands, for more than SAR1 billion.

Almarai’s share price of SAR43.6 has declined by a quarter in the last year.
