Additional Information	Revenue by segment before inter segment eliminations: For the current period as compared to same period previous year, revenues increased in Food processing and Food Services segments by 36.0% and 26.5% respectively. While revenues decreased in the Retail and Frozen Foods segments by 10.9% and 17.3% respectively. The decrease in the revenues of the retail and frozen food sectors in the current period compared to the same period last year was due to the impact of consumer buying behavior that occurred during the lockdown and curfew in the comparative period. In addition, during the current period, a negative impact of a weaker consumer base and lower buying power resulted in the decline. Frozen food sector was also impacted by regulatory changes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which were introduced earlier in 2021. Further, revenues for the food service segment benefitted on account of the absence of exceptional circumstances related to the pandemic, where such absence had a positive impact on the food services sector during the current period compared to the same period last year. Net profit by segment: The Retail segment recorded a net loss of SAR 146.9 million during the current period compared to a net profit of SAR 172.6 million same period previous year.
