Riyadh:Almarai Company has announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, reporting revenue of SAR6.19 billion, an increase of 11% compared to SAR5.55 billion in Q3 2025.

According to Saudi Press Agency, for the first nine months of 2026, Almarai's revenue rose by 10% to SAR18.22 billion, up from SAR16.61 billion in the same period the previous year. The company's net profit for Q3 2026 stood at SAR617.8 million, a 1% increase from SAR613.2 million, attributed to an improved revenue mix. However, this growth was offset by higher dairy feed shipping and distribution costs, the latter driven by increased energy expenses.

Over the first nine months of 2026, net profit remained largely stable at SAR1.99 billion compared to the same timeframe in 2025.

CEO Fawaz Al-Jasser noted that the company experienced broad-based revenue growth in Q3 2026, supported by strong brand performance, sustained demand across core categories, and disciplined business execution. Investments made in recent years have begun to contribute to growth and enhance the company's ability to meet consumer needs.

The dairy and juice category benefited from consistent demand and a better revenue mix, aided by innovation and portfolio development to match consumer preferences. The bakery segment saw improved performance due to a stronger sales mix, product innovation, and cost management. The company also pursued targeted product development and growth opportunities. However, the protein category faced challenges, with lower net profit contributions compared to Q3 2025 due to poultry market supply conditions, increased distribution costs, and ramp-up expenses.
