Saudi Printing & Packaging auditors flag going-concern doubt as nine-month loss narrows

Saudi Printing and Packaging Company cut its net loss by 48.6% to SAR 49.40m in the nine months to 30 September 2026, from SAR 96.09m, helped by a SAR 31.35m non-recurring gain on converting loans into equity. Revenue fell 26.4% to SAR 306.98m on lower demand, and auditors included a material uncertainty over going concern, with current liabilities exceeding current assets by SAR 367.10m. Shareholders approved on 26 October a capital reduction to SAR 68.97m to extinguish SAR 583.10m of accumulated losses.
