Saudi Telecom Co. (STC) reported an interim net profit after Zakat and tax of SAR 8.4 billion for the first nine months of 2020, a marginal increase of 0.7% year-on-year (YoY), driven by growth in consolidated gross profit due to higher revenue.

 

However, operating expenses jumped due to a rise in selling and marketing expenses from an increase in doubtful debt provision in the current period. In addition, the company reported higher depreciation, amortization, and general and administration expenses.
