The engagement

The client needed true per-unit cost visibility, not estimated margins, to support pricing decisions across six SKUs with different recipes and cost structures.

What we built

A 12-tab model with raw-material and packaging registers feeding a recipe-level bill of materials, combined with direct labour, overhead absorption, and utilities to produce a fully-absorbed cost per unit, a cost-behaviour split, and a blended break-even and margin-of-safety analysis.

The outcome

SAR 84.4M revenue against SAR 52.6M COGS for a 37.7% blended gross margin, with break-even at SAR 25.4M and a 70% margin of safety.
