stc reported a net profit after Zakat and tax of SAR 9.413 billion for the first nine months of 2022, an 8% increase, compared to SAR 8.698 billion in the year-earlier period.

 

The higher profit was due to a SAR 3.068 billion increase in revenue, offset by a SAR 18 million slump in the cost of revenue due to the reversal of contingent liability provision of SAR 1.079 billion. Accordingly, this led to a rise in gross profit by SAR 3.086 billion.
