The profit increase was driven by a rise in operating income as contribution from existing projects increased on better plants availability, and new projects began operations in 2022/23.
ACWA Power also reported a growth in development and construction management fees, which was offset partially by lower performance liquidated damage and insurance recoveries and higher corporate general and administration expenses.
Further, 2023 earnings were supported by lower Zakat and tax charges, impairment loss and other expenses.
On the other hand, the company noted higher financial charges (net off finance income) including exchange loss, lower capital recycling gains, lower other income, and higher share of non-controlling interest.
