Telecom Sector The first day of Eid al-Adha in 2014 coincided with 4th October 2014, accordingly a significant portion of the strong revenues from pilgrimage has been included in Q3 FY14 result unlike 2013 where revenues of the season has been mostly in Q4.
Retail Sector Following a slowdown in the third quarter, we expect the retail sector to manifest better performance in Q4 2014. In the fourth quarter, Othaim Markets receives incentives from achieving annual sales targets for the whole year, a factor that boosts Q4 bottom line. Accordingly, we expect Q4 FY14 net income to hit SAR 72.4 million up from SAR 42.3 million in Q3 2014. Over an annual basis, Q4 bottom line is estimated to grow 3.5% YoY. Meanwhile, Jarir Marketing is expected to augment its net income by 31.71% YoY in Q4 2014 driven by the expansions in the distribution channel, sales of IPhone 6 and normal growth in old outlets. On the other hand, Extra disclosed that 8 outlets have been closed by the Ministry of Trade in the last 10 days in November 2014 due to violations related to some promotions. Extra estimated lost sales and net income for the shutdown at SAR 150 million and SAR 27 million, respectively, thus we expect Q4 FY14 bottom line to tumble 46% posting SAR 31.5 million down from SAR 58.4 million in Q4 2013.
Cement sector Cement sales recover in Q4 following tough weather, summer vacations and Ramadan in Q3. Nevertheless, cement sales were sluggish in Q4 2014, coupled with a record clinker inventory of 21.4 million tons, and exports restrictions. Cement dispatches are estimated at 56.05 million tons in 2014, up from 55.3 million tons in 2013. Meanwhile, local production is estimated to increase from 55.7 million tons in 2013 to 56.71 million tons in 2014. 1
