Saudi Arabian Bank SNB Reports 17% Jump in Second-quarter Profit
Saudi National Bank (SNB) reported a 17.3% jump in second-quarter net profit on Monday, driven by higher income and lower net impairment charges. SNB's shares jumped 1.8% at market open after the results, and have risen just over 10% since January. The Kingdom's biggest lender by assets said it made a net profit of 6.1 billion riyals ($1.63 billion) in the quarter ended June 30, higher than the 5.6 billion riyals analysts were expecting, and compared with 5.2 billion riyals in the year-earlier period. SNB said the results were driven by higher net special commission income and operating income, in addition to lower net impairment charges for expected credit losses. According to Reuters, SNB said pre-provision credit was driven by strong credit quality and higher recoveries. SNB will pay a first-half dividend after zakat, an Islamic tax, worth 1 riyal per share to 6 billion eligible shares, according to a separate bourse disclosure that followed the results.
