Saudi Fisheries Co. announces its Annual Financial results for the period ending on 2025-12-31

• Absence of farm-related expenses for shrimp and fish production.

• Lower operating expenses following reduced business activity, including a 63% decrease in SG&A costs.

• A 20% reduction in G&A costs compared to the prior year, mainly driven by lower manpower costs and reduced professional fees in 2025.

• Zakat expense decreased by 80% compared to 2024, primarily due to reduced business activity during the period.

- Despite the improvement, the net margin remains negative, primarily due to:

• Fixed and idle costs of farms incurred during the year.

• Higher consultancy expenses related to capital restructuring initiatives.

• Provisions amounting to SAR 8.77 million were recognized during the period, including SAR 7.57 million for impairment of non-financial assets and SAR 1.67 million for inventory provisions, partially offset by an impairment reversal of SAR 0.48 million relating to trade receivables and advances to suppliers.

We draw attention to Note 2.4.1 in the financial statements, which states that the Group’s current liabilities

exceed its current assets by SR 13.527 million (2024: 60.43 million) which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion

thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment Assessment of Capital Work in Progress

The Group’s major assets—Capital Work in Progress

(CWIP)—relate to its farm, which remained nonoperational as at year-end. This constituted an indicator of impairment and required significant management judgment in assessing recoverability. CWIP was tested for impairment under IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets) by estimating recoverable amounts.

Management engaged an external valuation expert,

applying the market approach where comparable

transactions were available and the cost approach where

market data was limited. These methodologies involve

significant management judgment, including:

• The selection of comparable market transactions,

• Estimation of replacement costs adjusted for

depreciation and obsolescence, and

• Assumptions regarding the farm’s future

operational status.

Due to the estimation uncertainty and judgment involved, we identified this as a key audit matter.

Refer to Note 5 (accounting policies) and Note 7 (CWIP)

in the consolidated financial statements.

We have obtained the impairment tests provided by

management and performed following significant

procedures:

• Evaluated the competence, independence,

and objectivity of the external valuation

expert engaged by management.

• Engaged our valuation specialists to assess the

appropriateness of the valuation

methodologies applied, ensuring the market

and cost approaches were suitable for

determining the recoverable amount.

• Assessed whether the selected comparable

market transactions under the market

approach were relevant and reflective of the

asset type and market conditions.

• Verified that appropriate adjustments were

made for differences in location, asset

condition, and utility in the market approach.

• Evaluated the reasonableness of replacement

cost estimates under the cost approach,

ensuring they are appropriate.

• Performed substantive procedures to test the

accuracy and completeness of the input data

provided to the external valuer, including

asset details, historical costs, and condition

assessments.

• Assessed whether the disclosures in the

consolidated financial statements comply

with IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets) and IFRS

13 (Fair Value Measurement), ensuring

transparency in key assumptions and the

valuation approach.
