SAB’s operating income increased mainly due to an increase in net special commission income, income from FVSI financial instruments, foreign exchange income and net fee and commission income. This was partially offset by higher net losses from non-FVSI investment and a decrease in net income from other operations. 

 

The bank made a profit of SAR 1.55 billion in Q2 2023, a rise of 43% from SAR 1.08 billion in Q2 2022, backed by higher total operating income. This was offset by a surge in provision for Zakat and income tax, including previous years Zakat provisions, total operating expenses, and provision for expected credit losses. 

 

SAB’s net profit dropped by 12.2% from SAR 1.76 billion in Q1 2023.
