Before Mudaraba coupon payments, SEC’s nine-month profit increased to SAR 12.1 billion, from SAR 10.3 billion in 9M 2023.
 
The profit rise was driven by higher revenue, due to an increase in the revenue required to be recognized during the current quarter.
 
This came on the back of a rise in the regulated weighted average cost of capital (Regulatory WACC) and a growing regulated asset base (RAB).
 
The utility also reported higher power generation revenue and maintained growth in the subscriber base. It also generated new revenue from development projects to build substations and transmission lines on behalf of SEC’s customers.
 
SEC also cited lower financing costs (FCs). Moreover, the same quarter of the previous year was impacted by non-recurring expenses that led to a decrease in net income and other expenses.
 
On the other hand, operating and maintenance expenses increased, along with general and administrative expenses (G&A).
