"The decision to go public is a decisive one toward accelerating our growth trajectory. Since our privatization in 2021, we have significantly scaled the business, increased our profitability margins, and strengthened our market share. This was only made possible thanks to the efforts of our teams and the backing of our shareholders."

"Looking ahead, the growing market for wheat flour, feed, and bran in the Kingdom presents compelling opportunities, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on robust demand through continuous innovation and quality enhancements. Our focused strategy will deliver value and further our growth ambitions. We have a robust product pipeline, which includes the launch of new SKUs and variations tailored to meet diverse consumer needs and preferences, supported by an effective marketing and sales strategy. We are also expanding our presence in the Kingdom by opening distribution centers in strategic locations to ensure we reach more customers more efficiently. To support our expansion plans, we are constantly enhancing our operations to optimize utilization, minimize downtime and enhance our margins."

"By going public, we are also committing to higher standards of transparency and corporate governance, which we believe will ultimately benefit our shareholders and other stakeholders alike. This IPO is a catalyst for Arabian Mills to achieve sustainable, long-term growth and to continue our purpose of driving milling excellence and delivering nutrition."
