Total Provisions (566.00) (704.00) (24.4 %)

Earnings Per Share before unusual items (Riyals) 3.93 4.17 6.2 %
EPS (Riyal) 3.93 4.11 4.7 %
EPS Diluted (Riyal) 3.78 3.81 0.8 %

The annual profit growth was fueled by a 9% year-on-year (YoY) rise in special commission income, primarily driven by its growing loan and investment portfolio.

 

SAB’s 2025 net special commission income edged up by 4%, as special commission expenses grew due to a higher proportion of interest-bearing time deposits and increased interbank transaction costs, which were partially offset by lower financing costs related to sukuk.

 

These gains were partially offset by an increase in total operating costs, an increase in the net provision for expected credit losses and a decrease in the share of earnings from an associate.

 

The fourth-quarter net profit, however, was down 3.7% to SAR 2.05 billion from SAR 2.13 billion in Q4 2024.

 

Sequentially, the three-month bottom line also declined by 4.5% from SAR 2.14 billion in Q3 2025.
