Executive summary AI generated
2024 confirmed SIIS's ability to maintain financial control — but also highlighted its limits. While revenue grew modestly and profitability held, the balance sheet began to reabsorb risk. Receivables increased again, borrowings rose QAR 121M, and cash conversion gains plateaued. A strategic acquisition of minority interests reduced NCI by QAR 129M, strengthening group control but consuming liquidity.
What improved:
* Retained earnings grew to QAR 109M (+QAR 72M)
* Fair value reserve loss narrowed from QAR 26.7M to just QAR 1.5M
* Cash survival improved slightly to 0.42x (≈5 months of OPEX)
* DSO dropped to 102 days, the lowest in 3 years
What slipped:
* Receivables increased again to QAR 332M
* Borrowings returned to 2.22B, reversing 2023's deleveraging
* DPO declined to 61 days — weakening supplier leverage
* Working capital stayed flat (~28% of revenue)
* Interest expense hit QAR 128M, consuming 75% of operating profit
SIIS ended 2024 with a more stable foundation, but the balance sheet's momentum is slowing. The group must now shift from repair to performance — extracting liquidity from operations, reducing reliance on leverage, and converting invested capital into sustainable cash.
