The company attributed the profit drop to the recognition of share-based payments expenses related to the initial public offering (IPO),  lower share in net results of the equity accounted investees due to the accelerated depreciation in two oil-fired assets in Saudi Arabia. The company also cited long-term incentive plan expenses and an increase in Zakat and tax charges.  

 

These were partly offset by increased development and construction management services and further supported by improved results from the group’s operation and maintenance (O&M) business.
