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 |
Zain KSA recorded a retained earnings of SR 28 million for the first time in its history as a result of a net profit booked in this quarter. The company reported net profit of SR 42 million in Q2 2021 compared to a net profit of SR 59 million in Q2 2020 due to the increase in cost of revenue by 19% amounting SR 102 million as a result of the provision released in Q2 2020. Moreover, Opex increased by SR 40 million. This has been partially absorbed by a decrease in finance cost by SR 124 million due to the reduction of the total debt of the company as a result of the capital restructuring. |
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the previous period of the current year is |
Zain KSA maintained a stable profit in Q2 2021 compared with Q1 2021 despite the decrease in revenue by 2% which was offset by a decrease in cost of revenue by SR 85 million. Add to that, Opex increased by SR 14 million and depreciation and amortization by SR 29 million. |
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is |
The net profit decreased by SR 81 million from H1 2021 vs H1 2020 due to the decrease of revenue by 2% and increase in cost of revenue by 24% mainly due to the reversal released in the previous period. This was partially compensated by a decrease in finance cost by SR 262 million as a result of the capital restructure. |
