Almarai is entering a new phase focused on realizing value from its investments through disciplined execution and capital allocation. The strategy is centered on four clear priorities: strengthening business and food supply resilience; raising efficiency through productivity improvement; enhancing profitability through disciplined growth; and increasing cash flow generation to support sustainable shareholder value.

The strategy is based on the following growth pillars:

• Accelerating growth in Almarai's core businesses

• Expanding selectively into attractive food categories

• Accelerating development of high-potential channels including foodservice and e-commerce

• Strengthening the Company's position in priority markets while selectively pursuing new opportunities.

The strategy builds on Almarai’s position of strength, including its market leadership, trusted brands, operational excellence and distinctive capabilities. It aims to capture attractive growth opportunities and create sustainable long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders.

The Company also aims to broaden consumer choice, strengthen local manufacturing, and contribute to Saudi Arabia's national objectives, including food security and economic diversification.

This step does not have any material financial impact at this time, and the Company will announce any material developments in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
