Element List Explanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is The gross special commission income was higher by 19% primarily driven by the impact of interest rate hikes and volume growth mainly from loans. However, net special commission income was only higher by 7%, as special commission expense grew reflecting the higher rate environment and the increase in proportion of special commission expense bearing term deposits.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is The net profit was higher by 3% primarily driven by an increase in total operating income. This was partly offset by an increase in provision for expected credit losses, provision for Zakat and income tax, and total operating expenses.
Total operating income increased mainly due to an increase in net special commission income, exchange income, net fee and commission income, and gain from FVSI financial instruments.

Total operating expenses increased primarily due to the increase in salaries and employee related expenses and general and administrative expenses, which were partly offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortisation.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the total net provision (reversing entry) of expected credit losses and other losses during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Net provision for expected credit losses increased by 114% mainly due to lower recoveries during the current quarter.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter is The gross special commission income was higher by 4% driven at the total bank level equally by volume growth and positive yields. The main element driving the increase in gross special commission income was from the loan portfolio that in contrast to the overall bank was driven more by loan growth and to a lesser extent positive yield impacts.
However, net special commission income increased by 1% as the special commission expense was higher by 8% primarily driven by an increase in time deposits.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter is Net profit was lower by 7% driven by an increase in provision for expected credit losses. This was partly offset by an increase in total operating income.
Total operating income increased due to decrease in the realized losses on FVOCI debt instruments, decrease in losses on the sale of amortised cost investments, and increase in exchange income, and net special commission income. This was partially offset by a decrease in gain from FVSI financial instruments.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the total net provision (reversing entry) of expected credit losses and other losses during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter is Net provision for expected credit losses increased by 175% mainly due to additional impairment charges for the corporate loan portfolio and lower recoveries during the quarter.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is The gross special commission income was higher by 24% primarily driven by the impact of interest rate hikes and volume growth mainly from loans. However, net special commission income was only higher by 7%, as special commission expense grew reflecting the higher rate environment and the increase in the proportion of special commission expense bearing term deposits.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is The net profit was higher by 16% primarily driven by an increase in total operating income. This was partly offset by an increase in total operating expenses.
Total operating income increased mainly due to an increase in net special commission income by SAR 563 million, net fee and commission income by SAR 220 million and exchange income by SAR 152 million.
