Final ruling overturns GAC fine against 2 Electrical Industries subsidiaries

Argaam4 days ago
Electrical Industries Co. (EIC) said the Administrative Court of Appeal issued a final ruling on July 7, upholding the Administrative Court's decision to annul the Committee for Adjudication of Competition Law Violations' two rulings concerning the fines imposed on two of the company's subsidiaries.
In a statement to Tadawul today, July 23, the company said it received the official court judgment from the Administrative Court of Appeal via its legal counsel on July 22.
It also noted that the costs associated with this matter cannot be determined at this stage.
EIC confirmed that the ruling is considered final. However, it remains subject to potential review by the Supreme Administrative Court if any party files an objection within the legally defined period, particularly on grounds of misapplication of the law or a violation of Shariah by the Court of Appeal.
According to data available with Argaam, EIC received in July 2024 a decision from the Committee for Adjudication of Competition Law Violations, which includes imposing a penalty of SAR 26.1 million on two of its subsidiaries for potential violations of the Competition Law.
The Administrative Court in Riyadh ruled to annul paragraphs five and six of the committee's decision in January 2025, which related to the fine. Subsequently, the General Authority for Competition (GAC) appealed the decision before the Administrative Court of Appeal.

NADEC CEO says dividend policy tied to strategy, operations

Solaiman Altwaijri, CEO of National Agricultural Development Co. (NADEC), said the cash dividend decision depends on several strategic and operational factors, mainly the company's current stage and future funding requirements. He explained in an interview with Argaam that since NADEC is undergoing an expansion phase, financial resources are currently directed toward executing its growth plans. Altwaijri added that the company's outlook for the remainder of 2025 remains aligned with its strategic and operational roadmap and that no major developments are anticipated. He said Q2 2025 net profit rose on the back of a 5.1% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net revenue, driven by growth in new business segments, and although operating costs rose due to higher fuel expenses, this was offset by a 23% YoY increase in treasury income. Commenting on the protein segment, Altwaijri stated that the red meat business, a recent addition, generated SAR 59 million in net revenue during Q2, marking a 35% YoY growth, while profitability indicators remained stable. He noted that the dairy and food segment remained the top revenue contributor at 89%, followed by the protein segment at 7% and agriculture at 4%. Altwaijri also pointed out that the Central and Eastern Provinces recorded the strongest demand during Q2, with both seeing significant sales growth.
