Average Shares 4,166.59 4,166.59 -
EPS after deducting Mudaraba Instrument profit (Riyals) (0.79) 0.89 212.3 %

This was driven by the enactment of regulatory and financial reforms in the electricity sector in November 2020, which boosted operating revenue and cut financing costs.

 

The company also cited lower financing costs due to lower overall debt levels following the conversion of the government loans as part of the Mudarabah instrument signed in November 2020.

 

Deducting SAR 3.799 billion in dividend pertaining to the company’s agreement with the government, SEC would have reported SAR 3.718 billion in profit for H1 2021.
