EPS (Riyal) 1.37 1.64 19.5 %
EPS Diluted (Riyal) 1.31 1.53 17.1 %

The bank attributed the increase in profits year-on-year (YoY) to a 6.8% higher total commission income, mainly due to stronger returns from financing and investments.

 

Total operating income grew by 11.7% YoY; however, this was partially offset by a 2.5% rise in operating expenses, driven by higher other operating expenses, general and administrative (G&A) costs, provisions for other financial assets, and depreciation and amortization.

 

These increases were partly mitigated by a decline in expected credit loss provisions on loans and advances.

 

Additionally, the bank reported higher profits from investments held for purposes other than trading, as well as an increase in foreign exchange (FX) income, other operating income, and net fees and commissions.

 

Net provisions for financing and other financial assets declined by 8.7% YoY, mainly reflecting lower expected credit loss provisions on loans and advances, which were partially offset by higher provisions for other financial assets.
