Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff Company, a leading producer of UHT milk, tomato paste, and ice cream in ֱ, has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, from April 1 to June 30.
SADAFCO recorded SR785.4 million ($209.3 million) in sales during Q2 2025, marking a growth of 8.75 percent compared to the same period last year. The net profit for the quarter stood at SR117.7 million, diluted by raw material cost increases and other inflationary pressures.

We maintained our strong market shares — 57.4 percent in UHT milk, 53.6 percent in tomato paste, and 30.4 percent in ice cream — and achieved strong performance in export, out of home, and e-commerce channels.”
SADAFCO launched 16 new products during the quarter and continued investing in brand-building while managing costs effectively. Despite inflation and higher input costs, the company delivered a healthy net margin of 15 percent.

SADAFCO’s financial position remains solid with shareholders’ equity of SR1.773 billion and a cash balance of SR672.4 million.
Stillhart added: “We remain focused on disciplined growth, strategic innovation, and long-term value creation. With a robust balance sheet and expanding product portfolio, SADAFCO is well-positioned to navigate market conditions and deliver sustainable results.”
