Element ListExplanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Setting aside the one-off impact of the Goodwill impairment (SAR 7,418 million) recorded in the same quarter last year, the net income before Zakat and income tax was higher by SAR 1,081 million mainly contributed by lower provision for expected credit losses and total operating expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in total operating income mainly contributed by lower net special commission income by 19%. Total operating expenses decreased mainly due to lower general and administration expenses and salaries and employee-related expenses.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the previous period of the current year is Net income before Zakat and income tax was marginally lower by 1% driven by lower total operating income and share in earnings of associates, as well as higher provision for expected credit losses. This was partially offset by a decrease in total operating expenses mainly driven by a decrease in salaries and employee-related expenses, depreciation and amortization and rent and premises-related expenses resulting from continued success in efficiency creation in terms of cost reduction.
