The move to losses was driven by an impairment of goodwill of SAR 7.4 billion recorded in the current year, according to a bourse statement on Wednesday.
“This is a one-time accounting loss that does not affect the bank's capital, liquidity, or funding; nor the strategic strengths and competitive advantages. Our ability to lend to and support our customers, our products and services, and our focus on our people all remain entirely unaffected by this accounting charge,” SABB said.
Net income from special commissions/financing & investments decreased by 4.3% annually last year to SAR 6.9 billion, whereas assets grew by about 4% yearly to stand at SAR 276.5 billion.
