| Amount of the Accumulated Losses | 22062.459 |

| Major Reasons Leading to the Losses | The primary reasons for the decline in sales are attributed to lower purchases by the company's main customer (Saudi Aramco) compared to projected levels for 2025, which negatively impacted revenues. The financial results were also significantly affected by losses incurred due to a fire incident at one of the plant facilities on July 4, 2025, amounting to SAR 16,632,584. This resulted in a partial shutdown of operations, a decrease in production capacity, and the loss of a portion of inventory. Furthermore, net results were impacted by higher financing expenses and the persistence of certain fixed operating costs despite the reduced activity. |
| Measures to be Taken by the Company in Regard to Such Losses | The company is implementing a plan to address the losses, which includes rehabilitating and restarting the production lines damaged by the fire, enhancing operational efficiency, and gradually increasing production capacity. The company is also working to rationalize costs and improve expense management, in addition to pursuing insurance claims to secure outstanding compensation, which is expected to bolster the company's financial position. Furthermore, the company aims to boost sales by improving demand management with its key client and diversifying its customer base, thereby supporting revenue stability and improving financial performance in the coming periods. |
