Additional Information

With reference to note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group has reconsidered prior years accounting treatments. As a result, the Group corrected the carrying values of property and equipment (vehicles), inventory held for sale (vehicles), and the resulting depreciation expense on property and equipment (vehicles) and cost of sales of vehicles by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior periods. The restatement arose as the estimates relating to the useful economic lives and residual values of vehicles have not been accurately reassessed and the depreciation charge for the prior years has not been accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework.

The net impact of restatements resulted in an increase of equity by 225.74 million Saudi riyals in 2019 and with an additional impact of 14.6 million Saudi riyals in the year 2020, it has reached 240.34 million Saudi riyals.

The above restatements have resulted in an increase in net profit and profit per share reported for the year ended 31 December 2020 by 14.6 million Saudi riyals and 0.2 Saudi riyals respectively.
