YE2024, was impacted by the one-off provision for additional costs in three EPC (Engineering, procurement and construction) projects of SAR 34 million in SISCO’s associate Tawzea and a one-off loss in the associate GDI of SAR 12 million. • a reduction in zakat expense of SAR 29.8 million, as last year included a one-off zakat expense of SAR 25 million, and • an increase in other income by SAR 44.3 million.
