Zain KSA Net Profit jumped 234% growth in Q3 2023

Zain KSA achieved highest quarterly revenues exceeding SAR 2.5 billion – a notable 10% increase compared to the SAR 2.2 billion generated in the third quarter of the previous year, as well as recording SAR 285 million in Net Profit, a significant growth of 234% compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The company's strong financial performance also reflected the gains achieved by the tower infrastructure sale and leaseback deal which generated gains totaling SAR 139 million during this quarter, as part of the total financial impact which the company expects to reach SAR 1.1 billion over the 18-month period of the tower ownership transfer.

 

Sustained business growth across all sectors has fueled Zain KSA's robust Q3 profit growth.
