Element List	Explanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is	The gross special commission income was higher by 3%, primarily driven by volume growth in loan and interbank lending partly offset by lower average yield reflecting the lower rate environment mainly affecting the floating loan portfolio. However, net special commission income was lower marginally by 1%, as special commission expense grew reflecting the increase in proportion of special commission expense bearing term deposits partly offset by lower interbank borrowing costs.
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 net profit was lower by 2%, primarily driven by an increase in total operating expenses together with an increase in net provision for expected credit losses which was driven by an elected increase in modelled expected credit losses, reflecting the increased uncertainty and volatility caused by the geopolitical situation. These factors were partly offset by an increase in the share in earnings of an associate. Total operating income was broadly unchanged as a decrease in net fee and commission income (following the introduction of new regulations affecting management lending and credit card fees), and lower net special commission income and exchange income was offset by gains on disposal of FVOCI debt instruments. Operating expenses were higher due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses given recent higher software capitalization reflecting the investment in digital capability, an increase in salaries and employee related expenses partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses. An increase in the share in earnings of an associate is mainly attributed to lower operating expenses attributable to reversal in intergroup charges and decrease in non-staff costs of the associate. The increase in expected credit losses is explained below.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the total net provision (reversing entry) of expected credit losses and other losses during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is	Net provision for expected credit losses increased by SAR 25 million or 16.9%. Higher net provision charges on loans in the current quarter included an elected increase in modelled expected credit losses, reflecting the increased uncertainty and volatility caused by the geopolitical situation. In addition, there was a net increase in charges on off-balance sheet exposures. These factors were partly offset by higher recoveries net of write-offs.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter is	The gross and net special commission income were lower by 4%, primarily driven by the lower rate environment affecting the floating loan portfolio partly offset by an increase in volume growth and a decrease in special commission expense reflecting the lower deposits and interbank borrowing cost.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter is	The net profit was higher by 2%, primarily driven by a decrease in net provision for expected credit losses, a decrease in operating expenses and increase in the share in earnings of an associate partially offset by a decrease in total operating income and increase in provision for Income tax and zakat. Total operating income decreased mainly due to decrease in net special commission income, net other operating expenses, net fee and commission income (attributable to lower brokerage fee during the current quarter), and exchange income partly offset by gain on disposal of FVOCI debt instruments. Operating expenses were lower due to a decrease in salaries and employee related expenses (previous quarter included one off past service cost in indemnity charges) and a decrease in general and administrative expenses. An increase in the share in earnings of an associate is mainly attributed to lower operating expenses attributable to reversal in intergroup charges and decrease in non-staff costs. The decrease in expected credit losses is explained below.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the total net provision (reversing entry) of expected credit losses and other losses during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter is	Net provision for expected credit losses decreased by SAR 97 million or 37%. This was driven by higher recoveries net of write-offs partly offset by higher charges on both the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposures.
