Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia (Zain Saudi) reported the first-ever net profit after zakat and tax of SAR 12 million for fiscal year 2017, compared to a net loss of SAR 979 million a year earlier. The telecom operator attributed the annual profit to higher revenue and growing demand for its services.

 

The financial results were also bolstered by declines in the cost of sales, amortization as well as marketing expenses backed by the company’s ongoing cost optimization initiative.
