Ahmed AlSultan, CEO of Alsaif Gallery, said he expects the company’s positive performance to continue in Q2 2026 despite some challenges related to supply chains and higher logistics costs.
In an interview with Argaam, AlSultan said Alsaif aims to diversify sourcing, enhance inventory management, and improve operational efficiency to support stable results and sustain growth in the coming period.
Commenting on the financial results, he said the increase in profit reflects improving earnings quality, driven mainly by operational efficiency gains, an improved product mix, and disciplined cost management.
The company is focused on delivering sustainable profit growth, rather than purely top-line expansion, a strategy that is beginning to show in its performance.
AlSultan said revenue growth was supported by a combination of factors, including an improved in-store customer experience, expansion in high-demand product categories, and strong growth in digital channels.
Ramadan had a positive impact on sales, but the bulk of growth reflects genuine operational improvement and sustained demand, reinforcing confidence in performance beyond seasonal peaks.
On consumer demand, he said the market typically sees a relative slowdown after Ramadan, but the company continues to observe solid demand levels, supported by product diversity, pricing strategies, and targeted marketing campaigns. He added that the company is responding with flexibility, focusing on stimulating demand and enhancing the customer experience.
Additionally, e-commerce has become a key growth driver within the company’s omnichannel model, reflecting improvements in user experience, logistics capabilities, and integration between physical stores and digital platforms. He expects this momentum to continue alongside further expansion in digital services.
AlSultan added that the company has made notable progress in expanding its digital channels, with strong growth in online sales, a broader base of new customers, and improved delivery and order management efficiency. The integration of channels has also enhanced inventory efficiency and faster fulfillment, which remains a core strategic focus for the company.
