Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia (Zain Saudi) turned to a net profit of SAR 53 million in the first half of 2017, compared to a net loss of SAR 578 million in the same period last year, on higher gross profit and strong demand for Zain’s products this time around.

 

Lower amortization, as well as distribution and marketing expenses also helped boost H1 results.

In Q2, the telecom operator posted a net profit of SAR 8 million versus a net loss of SAR 328 million in Q2 2016, backed by higher gross profit and gross margins, improved demand for services, and lower distribution expenses due to cost optimization.

 

Zain Saudi’s Q2 net profit tumbled 82.2 percent when compared to the previous quarter, hurt by a decline in gross profit, lower demand for the company’s products in Ramadan and summer holidays, along with higher distribution and marketing expenses.
