Increase (Decrease) in Net Profit for Current Quarter Compared to the Same Quarter of the Previous Year is Attributed to | The increase in profits before Zakat and Income Tax for the quarter of SR 226,984K compared with same quarter the previous year was due to the following main reasons: • Increase in underwriting results of SR 220,023K compared with the same quarter previous year, an increase of 49%. Net earned premiums increased by SR 411,791K in the current quarter compared with the same quarter previous year, an increase of 18%, while net claims incurred increased by only SR 18,117K, an increase of 1%. This marginal change in incurred claims was driven by the significant decline in demand for healthcare services during the months of April and May of the current quarter, following the lockdown and curfew measures taken by local authorities to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management expects a significant portion of untreated conditions to rebound as health care patters are gradually restored. • Decrease in the provision for doubtful receivables of SR 58,041K compared to the same quarter the previous year, a decrease of 69%, which is primarily driven by the change in the method of calculating bad debt provisions in the current period, as recently mandated by SAMA to be more aligned with IFRS.
