Broad-based sales growth across markets, product categories and channels
Almarai Company, the world’s largest vertically integrated dairy company and the largest food and beverage manufacturing and distribution company in MENA, has announced its financial results for Q3-2026, reflecting resilient demand across its core categories and continued disciplined execution.
Revenue reached SAR 6.19bn in Q3, up 11% compared with SAR 5.55bn in Q3-2025. For the first nine months of 2026, revenue was up 10% to SAR 18.22bn, compared with SAR 16.61bn in the same period of 2025.
Improved revenue mix
Net profit in Q3-2026 was SAR 617.8mn, up 1% compared with SAR 613.2mn due to an improved revenue mix, which was largely offset by the increase in dairy feed shipping costs, in addition to higher distribution costs driven by elevated energy expenses. For the first nine months of 2026, net profit was broadly stable at SAR 1.99bn compared to the same period in 2025.
Revenue growth was broad-based across markets, product categories and sales channels. The performance was supported by higher poultry volumes following recent capacity expansion, growth in dairy sales in Egypt and the contribution from the water business acquisition.
“The investments we have made in recent years are increasingly contributing to growth and strengthening our ability to serve consumers across our markets,” commented Fawaz Al Jasser, CEO, Almarai Company.
