Saudi Electricity Co.’s (SEC) net profit after zakat and tax dropped 74.6 percent year-on-year (YoY) to SAR 1.76 billion for fiscal year 2018 as the company had non-recurring write off of municipality fees in year-earlier period.

 

In addition, the adoption of IFRS 15, higher financing charges and energy consumption rationalization also weighed on the annual results.

In the fourth quarter, the company was able to cut its losses to around SAR 3.8 billion, compared to SAR 5.5 billion a year earlier, attributed mainly to the non-recurring write off of municipality fees in year-earlier period.

 

The firm incurred loss in Q4 compared to a net profit of SAR 4.9 billion in the previous quarter on lower operating revenues because of sales seasonality.
