Growth Story

Maharah's growth story is best described as an expanding pipeline, characterized by a strong upward trajectory in revenue from SAR 1,890,018,520 in FY 2023 to SAR 2,235,430,580 in FY 2024, and further to SAR 3,112,462,659 in FY 2025, culminating in a TTM revenue of SAR 3,324,648,538. This top-line momentum is supported by a sustainable growth rate of 8.12%, which is underpinned by a 5-year average reinvestment rate of 56.18% and a 5-year average ROIC of 14.45%. The company's growth capacity is heavily driven by its corporate sector, which remains the primary engine of revenue, alongside strategic expansion through subsidiaries like Growth Avenue Investment Company and international operations in the United Arab Emirates.

Profitability Dynamics

Operating as a yielding harvest, Maharah consistently generates economic value by maintaining a positive spread between its returns and its cost of capital. The company's 5-year average ROIC of 14.45% exceeds its WACC of 8.20%, creating a value-creation gap of 6.25%. On a TTM basis, Maharah achieved an EBIT of SAR 236,798,895 and a NOPAT of SAR 224,294,548, translating to an operating margin of 7.12% and a profit margin of 8.82%. Profitability is further supported by its 40% equity-accounted investment in Saudi Medical Systems Company, which contributes to net income, although this is partially offset by the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Risk Factors

Navigating a delicate balancing act, Maharah manages a capital structure with total debt of SAR 319,555,651 against a cash balance of SAR 101,164,066. The company's cost of debt after tax is relatively high at 12.32% compared to its cost of equity of 7.76%, indicating that debt financing carries a premium. However, its relevered beta of 0.80 suggests lower systemic market sensitivity. Business-specific risks include expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets, which required an expense of SAR 3,962,111 in Q1 2026, as well as geographical concentration, with the vast majority of revenues originating within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
