The company’s net profit rose to SAR 15.51 billion in 2022 before deducting Mudarabah instrument distributions, compared to SAR 14.39 billion in 2021.

 

The profit increase was driven by higher operating revenue due to the growth in demand for electricity and an increase in the balancing account amounts from 2021.

 

In addition, the utility provider saw higher other income mainly due to recorded non-recurring items, and higher income from equity accounted investees on the change in classification of SEC’s interest in independent power producers (IPPs), from being accounted as joint operations to joint ventures.

 

This was partially offset by higher purchased power and fuel costs, mainly driven by growth in demand for electric power. In addition, the company reported an increase in provisions for receivables from electricity sales and others, as well as a marginal increase in net financing costs.
