Raydan's accumulated losses reach 53.74% of capital
Raydan Food Co. announced that its accumulated losses amounted to 53.74% of capital as of March 31, 2025.
In a statement to Tadawul, the company pointed out that the accumulated losses amounted to approximately SAR 84.95 million.
The increase in accumulated losses was attributed to a decline in sales and a reduction in revenue from contracts and franchise operations, as well as an increase in selling and marketing expenses, impairment losses on right-of-use assets and land (classified under property and equipment), as well as foreign currency translation losses.
The company also incurred losses from the revaluation of its investment in an associate company and recorded its share of that company's losses. Furthermore, the cost of revenue increased during the period.
To address the situation, Raydan outlined a number of measures it intends to implement. These include restructuring its service and operational segments, increasing sales at existing branches by diversifying menu offerings and focusing on delivery services through a comprehensive marketing plan, and enhancing revenues from its catering segment by entering into long-term strategic agreements.
The company also plans to reduce operating costs by consolidating its warehouses, slaughterhouses, and central kitchen. It aims to expand geographically into currently unserved areas through new catering contracts and branch openings, and restructure its franchise model with a focus on expansion outside Saudi Arabia.
Raydan stated that its board of directors will disclose its recommendations regarding the accumulated losses on July 13, 2025. An extraordinary general meeting will be called by no later than November 10, 2025, to vote on whether to continue the company's operations.
The company confirmed it will comply with the procedures and regulations set for listed companies whose accumulated losses exceed 20% of capital, and that the board has recommended taking all necessary actions in accordance with the laws applicable to companies with losses exceeding 50%. These include ensuring transparency, disclosure, and the protection of shareholder rights and interests.
Raydan also noted that the above dates are in line with Article 132 of the Companies Law, which requires that if a joint-stock company's losses reach 50% of its paid-up capital, the board must disclose this and announce its recommendations within 60 days of becoming aware. An extraordinary general assembly must then be held within 180 days to decide whether to continue operations or dissolve the company.

Pakistani PM to meet Saudi Crown Prince today to bolster bilateral ties, discuss regional security
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is on a two-day visit to Saudi Arabia this week where he will meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman today, Friday, and discuss trade and investment as well as regional security matters. The Pakistani prime minister will celebrate Eid Al-Adha in the Kingdom and hold a bilateral meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince that is expected to focus on enhancing cooperation in trade, investment and regional security. Sharif reached Jeddah on Thursday evening and departed for Makkah to perform Umrah, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said. 'The two leaders will discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral cooperation in various fields, including trade and investment, welfare of the Muslim Ummah, and regional peace and security,' PMO said about Sharif's meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince later today, Friday. Sharif is also expected to express gratitude to the Saudi leadership for their role in de-escalating recent tensions between Pakistan and India. Last month, following the worst military confrontation between India and Pakistan in decades, Saudi Arabia, along with other Gulf nations, played a key role in mediating between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, helping to avert a potential war. The visit also comes amid deepening economic ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. In recent months, the two countries have signed multiple agreements aimed at boosting bilateral trade and investment. Notably, Saudi Arabia has committed to a $5 billion investment package to support Pakistan's economy, which has been grappling with a balance of payments crisis. Last year, Saudi and Pakistani businessmen signed 34 memorandums of understanding worth $2.8 billion, covering sectors such as industry, technology, and agriculture. Additionally, Saudi Arabia's Manara Minerals is in talks to acquire a 10-20 percent stake in Pakistan's $9 billion Reko Diq copper and gold mining project, one of the largest of its kind globally. Defense cooperation is also a key component of the bilateral relationship. The two nations have a history of military collaboration, with Saudi Arabia providing support to Pakistan during times of regional tension and Pakistan training Saudi forces. Pakistan has a 2.7 million-strong diaspora in Saudi Arabia, which accounts for the highest remittance inflow, a crucial lifeline for the country's economy.

Israel Strikes Beirut's Suburbs to Target What It Says is Hezbollah Drone Production
The Israeli military struck several sites in Beirut's southern suburbs that it said held underground facilities used by Hezbollah for drone production Thursday, on the eve of the Eid al-Adha holiday. The strikes marked the first time in more than a month that Israel had struck on the outskirts of the capital and the fourth time since a US-brokered ceasefire agreement ended the latest war between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in November, The Associated Press said. Israel posted a warning ahead of the strikes on X, formerly known as Twitter, announcing that it would hit eight buildings at four locations. Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon since the ceasefire, which Lebanon has said are in violation of the agreement. Israeli officials say the strikes are intended to prevent Hezbollah from regrouping after a war that took out much of its senior leadership and arsenal. The Israeli army said in a statement that Hezbollah was 'working to produce thousands of drones under the guidance and financing of Iranian terrorist groups.' Hezbollah 'used drones extensively in its attacks against the State of Israel and is working to expand its drone industry and production in preparation for the next war,' the army statement said. There was no immediate statement from Hezbollah. A Hezbollah official denied that there were drone production facilities at the targeted locations. 'In the (ceasefire) agreement, there is a mechanism for investigating if there is a complaint,' the official said. 'Israel in general, and Netanyahu in particular, wants to continue the war in the region.' A Lebanese army official said the army had attempted to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations. Israeli army officials could not immediately be reached for comment. Both Lebanese officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the strikes. Aoun in a statement called them a 'blatant violation of an international agreement, as well as the basic principles of international and humanitarian laws and resolutions, on the eve of a sacred religious occasion' and said it demonstrates Israel's 'rejection of the requirements of stability, settlement and just peace in our region.' He accused Israel of using Lebanon as a 'mailbox' to send a message to the United States. He did not elaborate. Washington has been negotiating with Iran - Hezbollah's longtime backer - for a deal over Tehran's nuclear program and has warned Israel not to strike Iran in the meantime. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz in a statement praised the Israeli air force for 'perfect execution' of the strikes and said Israel will 'continue to enforce the ceasefire rules without any compromise.' He said Israel holds the 'Lebanese government directly responsible for preventing violations of the ceasefire and all terrorist activity" against Israel.' The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel began on Oct. 8, 2023 when the Lebanese militant group began launching rockets across the border in support of its ally, Hamas, in Gaza. Israel responded with airstrikes and shelling and the two were quickly locked in a low-level conflict that continued for nearly a year before escalating into full-scale war in September 2024. It killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon, including hundreds of civilians, while the Lebanese government said in April that Israeli strikes had killed another 190 people and wounded 485 wounded since the ceasefire. There has been increasing pressure on Hezbollah - both domestic and international - to give up its remaining arsenal, but officials with the group have said they will not do so until Israel stops its airstrikes and withdraws from five points it is still occupying along the border in southern Lebanon.
