Company Profile
Thimar Development Holding Company is a Saudi Joint Stock Company engaged in managing subsidiaries, investing funds, holding real estate and movable properties, and providing financing/guarantees to its subsidiaries. The Group has been undergoing financial reorganization procedures since 2021 under the Saudi Bankruptcy Law. Its strategic plan involves investing in sustainable companies and food industry non-monetary investments. Operational activities in the food business have been largely suspended since 2019 due to liquidity shortages and reorganization constraints.

Growth Story
The growth story is currently a 'restart' narrative rather than an expansionary one. With zero TTM revenue due to the cessation of operations in 2019, the company's capacity for growth is entirely dependent on the successful execution of its financial reorganization plan. The historical five-year average ROIC of -52.9% reflects the legacy of the previous business model. Future growth is predicated on a strategy to invest in return-generating companies and leverage existing assets for in-kind investments in the food sector. However, the rejection of a proposed 195 million SAR capital increase by the Extraordinary General Assembly in early 2026 presents a significant hurdle to funding these new strategic ambitions.
Profitability Dynamics
Thimar is currently in a value-destruction phase, evidenced by a massive -59.9% gap between its ROIC and its 7.02% WACC. The company reported a net loss of 13 million SAR for fiscal 2025, with accumulated losses reaching 94.7 million SAR—surpassing its total share capital. Profitability is currently influenced by non-operating items, such as a 6.76 million SAR judicial ruling against a local bank and gains from asset disposals. While the company has successfully settled approximately 70% of its reorganization plan obligations (79.8 million SAR out of 117 million SAR), it continues to struggle with negative operating cash flows of nearly 23 million SAR, highlighting the absence of a self-sustaining core business.
Risk & Capital Structure
Risk Factors
The risk profile is dominated by 'material uncertainty' regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although protected by the Bankruptcy Law from standard liquidation triggers, survival hinges on the successful liquidation of underutilized assets, such as the planned sale of agricultural land valued at approximately 35 million SAR. Liquidity is the primary risk; the company faces current liabilities of 30.3 million SAR against a cash balance of only 6.1 million SAR. Furthermore, the recent rejection of the capital increase and the presence of legal claims rejected by the financial trustee add layers of execution and litigation risk to an already fragile recovery path.
Governance Disclosures

Shareholder Rejection of Proposed Capital Increase
The Extraordinary General Assembly rejected a Board recommendation to increase the Group's capital by SAR 195 million through a rights issue. This rejection forced the Group to write off SAR 2,536,304 in transaction costs and necessitated an alternative liquidity plan involving the sale of agricultural land.
Reduction in Board Size and Remuneration Policies
As part of a comprehensive plan to improve administrative efficiency following financial distress, the Group is reducing the number of Board of Directors members from seven to five. This restructuring includes a revision of remuneration policies for the Board, its committees, and executive management to reduce discretionary expenditures.
