The utility provider cited an increase in its net profit share from equity-accounted investees mainly due to new projects that commenced operations subsequent to June 30, 2021, along with higher other operating income on recognition of performance liquidated damages.
ACWA Power also reported a rise in other income due to higher interest income earned on deposits.
However, these were partly offset by an increase in Zakat and tax charges mainly due to higher deferred tax expenses as a result of devaluation of the Moroccan dirham against the US dollar, lower finance lease income due to outages of certain projects in Morocco, and recognition of loss on disposal for the sale of an equity accounted investee.
