The accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position includes property, plant, and equipment (PPE) amounting to Saudi Riyal 1,510 million as at March 31, 2024. The Group performed a detailed impairment assessment to determine the recoverable value of PPE for one if its subsidiaries, Ceramic Pipes Company (“CPC”), which resulted in an impairment loss of Saudi Riyals 78 million as at December 31, 2023. However, while identifying the smallest cash generating unit (“CGU”), the Group has considered all of its PPE, including land of CPC as a single CGU. Determining the land to be included in the CGU is not in accordance with International Accounting Standard 36 - Impairment of Assets. Had the land been excluded from the CGU, based on the valuation performed by management as at March 31, 2024, the impairment loss would have increased by Saudi Riyals 65 million. |
