| The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current year compared to the last year | stc achieved revenues of SAR 77,819m, with an increase of 2.5%, which was mainly attributed to the increase in commercial unit revenues by 3.4%, carriers and wholesale unit revenues by 10.8%. |
| The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current year compared to the last year is | stc reported a net profit of SAR 14,828m. The net profit growth reached 12.5%, when excluding the non-recurring items, which was mainly attributed to the following: - The gross profit reached SAR 37,700m as compared to SAR 37,326m (the growth of gross profit was 5.2% if non-recurring items were excluded, as the withholding tax provision of SAR 1,500m was reversed in the cost of revenues in the last year). - The operating profit reached SAR 14,438m as compared to SAR 14,426m (the growth in operating profit was 6.6%, if non-recurring items were excluded). - Earnings before interest, taxes, zakat, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) stands at SAR 24,469m as compared to SAR 23,951m (the growth in EBITDA was 6.1% if non-recurring items were excluded). - The booking of net profit from discontinued operations (non-recurring item) amounting to SAR 13,973m during the last year, as a result of a gain booked from the sale of stc’s controlling interest in its subsidiaries, Telecommunications Towers Company (TAWAL) and Digital Infrastructure Company. - The booking of total other income (expenses) amounting to SAR 284m, as compared to SAR (2,291m), mainly due to: 1. The decrease in early retirement program cost by SAR 1,753m. 2. The booking of net share in results of investments in associates and joint ventures amounting to SAR 295m as compared to SAR (666m) mainly due to the booking of an impairment provision amounting to SAR 764m related to the investment in BGSM during the last year. 3. The decrease in finance cost by SAR 108m, that was offset by the decrease in finance income by SAR 441m. - The booking of a positive zakat and income tax amounting to SAR 466m, mainly due to the reversal of zakat provision related to previous years which are no longer required, as compared to zakat and income tax expense amounting to SAR (1,192m). |
