Leejam Sports reports 2Q18 results, with net income inching down 2% Y-o-Y on lower margins, higher financing costs

Leejaam Sports Co [1830.SE] released 2Q18 financials, with net profit slightly down 1.8% Y-o-Y to SAR39.7mn, as lower margins and higher financing expenses more than offset revenue growth and higher other income. Revenue came in at SAR187mn, up 6% Y-o-Y, driven by gym network expansion. Gross profit increased at a lower rate of 1.8% Y-o-Y to SAR67.4mn, with a gross profit margin of 36.0% vs 37.6% in 2Q17; a 150bps margin contraction, likely on higher salaries. Also, financing costs recorded 51% Y-o-Y growth to cSAR5.1mn, while there was a Y-o-Y increase of 67.3% in other income and slightly lower Zakat charges.
