Jahez International Company for Information System Technology (Jahez) posted a net profit, after Zakat and tax, amounting to SR 53.2 million during the first half of 2022, a jump of 85 percent from SR 28.7 million a year earlier.

The profit surge was mainly attributed to a 59.9 percent surge year-on-year (YoY) in revenue, due to the increase in delivery fee and commission revenue by SR 159.5 million and SR 81.8 million respectively.

The average take rate increased in the first half to 12.3 percent, compared to 11.2 percent in first half of 2021.

There was an increase in Gross Merchandize Value (GMV) in the first half 2022 by 36.5 percent reaching SR 2 billion due to the increase in orders number in the first half 2022 by 45.5percent to reach 31.5 million orders, compared to 21.6 million orders in the corresponding period of last year. This is due to the increase by 48.1 percent in average users number in the first half 2022, compared to the corresponding period of last year, despite the slight decrease in monthly average orders per user to reach 4.5 orders in the first half 2022, compared to 4.6 orders in the corresponding period of last year. The GMV per order decreased in the first half 2022 reaching SR 63.2 compared to SR 67.4 in the corresponding period of last year.

- The average take rate increased in the first half 2022 to reach 12.3 percent, compared to 11.2 percent in the corresponding period of last year, in addition to increase in average merchant number to reach 7,879 restaurants in the first half 2022 compared to 4,742 restaurants in the corresponding period of last year.

The group’s gross profit increased by 90 percent despite the increase in cost of revenue by 52.6 percent which is mainly due to the increase in total delivery costs and operations which is in line with the number of orders during the first half 2022.

There was also a jump in operating profit by 91.2percent despite the increase in Research & Development expenses by 226.4 percent in line with the company strategy to invest in the platforms development and the user experience improvement.
