| Element List | Explanation |
|---|---|
| The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is | The increase in net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year is due to the following reasons: |
- Strong revenue growth of 54.4%, driven primarily by strong top-line performance by the Company’s ports segment, predominantly driven by stronger volumes, efficiencies and other new concession terms that came into effect from 1 January 2021 and an improvement in service revenue in the logistics segment;
- Gross profit increased by 153.7% compared to Q1 2020, due to the revenue growth and capitalisation of fixed and variable fee; and
- Share of results of associate companies increased by 55.7% due to better performance in Q1 2021.
- Compared to the previous quarter, revenue declined by 31.7%. However, excluding the impact of accounting construction revenue which does not impact gross profit or net income, revenue grew by 5.8%. This was driven by strong top-line performance by the Company’s ports segment;
- Gross Profit increased by 10% mainly due to the above factors and a decrease in direct costs; and
- One off reversal of old liabilities of SAR 4.6 million during Q1 2021
Strategy and outlook:
SISCO will continue to invest in assets and companies in the ports, logistics and water segments, where significant potential earnings opportunities exist, and where the Company’s management can provide oversight on operational and growth strategies. Meanwhile, the Group will build on its current portfolio of subsidiaries, to take advantage of emerging market opportunities. The Company is currently undergoing a strategic review exercise, for which it has appointed an external consultant, and expects to announce further developments to its strategy in due course.
