The balancing account and the other operating revenue increased by SAR 3.5 billion. This has resulted us reporting SAR 52.2 billion in the top line. When we look at the segments or drivers of the revenues driven almost across the segments, except for industrial, with different percentage of growth compared to the same period of last year, this has also contributed from quantity base to the revenue and electricity sales at the bottom of the slides. When we look at the primary drivers for the increase of our bottom line from SAR 6.2 billion to SAR 6.7 billion.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: The top line, as I mentioned in the previous slide, there has been an increase on the operating revenue by SAR 1.6 billion. The balancing account increased by SAR 3.3 billion. There has been some increases in cost of fuel and purchased power and other operating costs and depreciation in line with the growth of the business, as well as an increase in sales, and the finance cost of SAR 211 million, which again, is resulted of that increase of almost SAR 500 million on the net income. The company, as you expected from the story, continued to invest heavily in its CapEx and execute its strategy. The CapEx invested in the period has reached SAR 38.7 billion, primarily on the transmission business, which include also the battery storage, coming in second the distribution and then generation.

Speaker #2: There have been some increases in the cost of fuel and purchased power, as well as other operating costs and depreciation, in line with the growth of the business and an increase in sales.

Speaker #2: As well as the finance cost of 211, which again is a result of that increase of almost 500 million Saudi Riyal on the net income.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: This goes in line with the company's strategy that has been already communicated, which shows also that we are executing based on that plan. This is slightly higher than what we have invested with the same period of last year. However, we are expecting that the total invested CapEx by end of the year reach SAR 70 billion to SAR 75 billion. When it comes to the strategic, or the primary drivers of the growth of the business of the company, which is primarily the transmission and distribution and the growth in the RAB, you will see that the capitalized investments and the company has managed to capitalize SAR 28.8 billion worth of work-in-progress projects and energize them.

Speaker #2: Again, this is slightly higher than what we had invested during the same period last year. However, we are expecting that the total invested capacity, total invested capex by the end of the year, will reach 70 billion to 75 billion Saudi Riyal.

Speaker #2: When it comes to the strategic or the primary drivers of the growth of the business of the company which is primarily the transmission and distribution and the growth in the wrap you will see that the capitalized investments and the company has managed to capitalized 28.8 billion worth of working work in progress projects and energized them and and this has increased the wrap from the same period compared to the same period of last year 12 months by 14.1% from 238 billion Saudi Riyal worth of wrap compared to 272 billion Saudi Riyal and this is a substantial growth representing the efficiency in the company's turning projects into energized assets that generate returns and revenue to the company.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: This has increased the RAB from the same period compared to the same period of last year, 12 months by 14.1% from SAR 238 billion worth of RAB compared to SAR 272 billion.

We are expecting this also to continue year-on-year, as we have shown from 2022 up to until 2025. Again, with the same rhythm, with the same percentage reaching to almost double-digit growth in the RAB year-on-year.

Speaker #2: We are expecting this also to continue year on year, as we have shown from 2022 up until 2025, again with the same rhythm, with the same percentage, reaching to almost double-digit growth in the wrap year on year.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: When it comes to the way the company funds its investments and growth, the company has a clear strategy of diversifying the source of funding, coming from different pools of liquidity that is locally, regionally, and internationally with the different type of instrument that we tap into to fund those investments. We are also looking at our balance maturity profile carefully and prefund them and refinance them as required as we go. Monitoring the market, monitoring the opportunities ahead of us in capturing the opportunity that can be used to refinance or to fund the growth that is required from a projects perspective.

When we move to the balance sheet, the company looks at its balance sheet positively, maintaining a balanced debt and equity compared to other peers in the business. We maintain a very healthy balance, especially with the robust regulatory regime that we are operating in, and maintaining healthy ratios in that regard. Finally, a couple of messages that I just want to leave you with.

Speaker #1: We can hear you.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Please go ahead. Yeah. Thank you for the presentation. This question is coming on behalf of HSBC. When do you expect the new regulatory wag rate for the 27 29 period to be finalized and released?

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: Yeah. Thank you for the presentation. This question is coming on behalf of Ilda Kajev, HSBC. When do you expect the new regulatory WACC rate for the 2027, 2029 period to be finalized and released?

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Well, as you may know, as we've communicated, the regulatory regime gets reset every 3 years. The first regulatory period started in 2021 and ended 2023. The second regulatory period started in 2024 and end this year. We are expecting that the WACC will be released before the end of the year. But again, this is a regulatory decision. And regulator, the way they see it, whenever they are suitable for them to announce it, they will announce it. However, generally, we're expecting this to come before the year end.

Speaker #2: Sure. Well as you may know as we've communicated the regulatory regime get reset every three years the first regulatory period started in 2021 and ended 2020.

Speaker #2: Three the second regulatory period started in 2024 and in this year we are expecting that the wag will be released before the end of the year but again this is a regulatory decision and regulator the way they see it whenever they are suitable for them to announce that they will announce it.

Speaker #2: However generally we're expecting this to to come before the year end.

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: Thank you. I'll go back in queue.

Speaker #3: Thank you. I'll go back into.

[Company Representative]: Thank you very much. As a reminder, if you wish to ask a question, please press star followed by 1 on your telephone keypad now. Our next is a follow-up, one from Kaushik again. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Our next is a follow-up one from Kashik again. Please go ahead.

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: Thank you. Could you please share RAB asset basis for distribution and transmission segments separately? Is there any chance you could share also the depreciation charges in the transmission and distribution segments over the H1 2026?

Speaker #3: Thank you. Could you please share wrap asset basis for distribution and transmission segment separately and any chance you could share also the depreciation charges in the transmission and distribution segments over the first half of 26.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Well, thank you for the question. I think we are giving in the financials a fair segregation of the business on a standalone basis for generation, transmission, and distribution. If you look at the notes, you will see that segregation there with the cost of generation, transmission, and distribution, from a depreciation perspective, which you have asked for.

Speaker #2: Well, thank you for the question. I think we are giving, in the financials, a fairly good segregation of the business on a standalone basis for generation, transmission, and distribution.

Speaker #2: If you look at the notes you will see that segregation there. With the cost of generation transmission and distribution from a depreciation perspective which you've asked for.

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: If I am to understand correctly, the regulator does not use a different cost methodology while calculating the required revenue, is it? Or it is the same as what you have reported?

Speaker #3: So if I have to understand correctly the regulator does not use a different cost methodology while calculating the required revenue. Is it or it's the same as what you have reported?

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Can you please repeat your question again?

Speaker #2: Can you please repeat your question again?

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: So it is our understanding that under the RAB model, the regulator operates with a different P&L when setting the required revenue, where costs are different from those reported in IFRS. Any disclosure helping us understand the key differences will be appreciated.

Speaker #3: So it is our understanding that under wrap model the regulator operates with a different P&L when setting the are different from those reported in IFRS.

Speaker #3: So any disclosure helping us understand the key differences will be appreciated.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Yeah. I think, again, the regulatory accounting doesn't differentiate the cost. There is definitely the difference between, from a reporting perspective, between the IFRS standards and the regulatory accounting aspects. However, what's being reported is almost fairly in line with what's being reported to the regulator. There might be some detailed segregation between transmission and distribution that gets reported to the regulator. But going back to the same question you've asked earlier on the depreciation, there is no change. There is a technical lifetime that is in line with the IFRS standards that we have accounted for. There's no big significant change there.

Speaker #2: Yeah I think I think again the regulatory accounting doesn't you know look into doesn't differentiate the cost. There is definitely the difference between from a reporting perspective between the IFRS standards and the regulatory accounting aspects.

Speaker #2: However what's being reported is almost fairly in line with what's being reported to the regulator. There might be some detailed segregation between transmission and distribution that gets reported to the regulator but for going back to the same question you've asked earlier on the depreciation there is no change.

Speaker #2: There is a technical lifetime that is in line with the IFRS standards that we have accounted for. There's no big significant change there.

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: All right. Thank you so much. Just the last one, if I may. Any thoughts on 2027 you can provide?

Speaker #3: All right. Thank you so much. And just the last one if I may. Any thoughts on 2027 you can provide?

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Sorry, 2027 what?

Speaker #2: Sorry 2027 what?

Kaushik Gopalakrishnan: The CapEx. Any guidance you can?

Speaker #3: The CapEx—any guidance you can?

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Sure. I think generally, the company's strategy that we have always been communicating, that the company is executing a very important investment plan, to the kingdom and to the sector. We have seen a significant increase on the CapEx of last year and also in 2024. We are expecting this year and last year is going to be with the same level and start declining towards 2028, 2029, and 2030, as we are uploading our investments ahead of the major events and giga projects that are going to be energized by then.

Speaker #2: Sure. I think generally the company's strategy, from what we've always been communicating, is that the company is executing a very important investment plan for the Kingdom and for the sector.

Speaker #2: We're expecting we have seen a significant increase on the capex of last year and the also in 2024. We're expecting this year and last year is going to be with the same level and start declining towards 28 29 and 2030.

Speaker #2: As we are uploading our investments ahead of the major events and giga projects that are going to be energized by then.

[Company Representative]: Thank you very much. Our next question comes from Mohammed Faisal with Riyad Capital. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you very much. Our next question comes from Mohammed Faisal with Riyad Capital. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Thank you very much. Our next question comes from Mohamed Faisal with Riyadh Capital. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Mohammed Faisal Potrik: Hello. Thank you for the presentation. I just had a quick question. Given the continued CapEx needs over the next few years, and given that the financing costs have also been increasing, are you guys looking at any other sources of financing to finance the continued CapEx needs over the next few years?

Mohammed Faisal: Hello. Thank you for the presentation. I just had a quick question. Given the continued CapEx needs over the next few years, and given that the financing costs have also been increasing, are you guys looking at any other sources of financing to finance the continued CapEx needs over the next few years?

Speaker #4: Hello thank you for the presentation. I just had a quick question. Given the continued capex needs over the next few years and given that financing costs have also been increasing are you guys looking at any other sources of financing to finance the you know the continued capex needs over the next few years?

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Sure. A couple of things just to clarify on this point. Definitely, this is a very important question. I think the funding plan for the company has been a very important and key to the success of our investments plan. When we look at the company's businesses, the transmission and distribution is a core business which will be financed through multiple funding pools, which I will come to it in details. However, in generation will continue to be on a project finance basis as it is packed by a PPA and a purchase power agreement signed with the Saudi Power Procurement Company, which is owned by the government, and I think this will continue with that model. When it comes to transmission and distribution, every year, every period, we assess the market, we assess the options. Definitely, we are looking into not only at just a debt option.

Speaker #2: Sure. A couple of things just to clarify on this point. Definitely this is a very important question. I think the funding plan for the company has been a very important and key to the success of our investments plan.

Speaker #2: When we look at the company's businesses, the transmission and distribution is a core business, which will be financed through multiple funding pools, which I'll come to in detail.

Speaker #2: However, in generation, it will continue to be on a project-financed basis, as it is backed by a PPA—a power purchase agreement—signed with the SPPC, which is owned by the government. I think this will continue with that model.

Speaker #2: Now, when it comes to transmission and distribution, every year, every period, we assess the market. We assess the options. Definitely, we are looking into not only adjusted debt options.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: We started monetizing some of our assets, and if you look into the presentation that we have presented, we started with our real estate, as a one asset monetization exercise that we do for, what we call it in the company, non-revenue generating assets, which is the real estate. We will continue with this as a source of funding to the core business. However, to answer your question, given the stable balance sheet that we have and room of accessing cheap capital through the debt capital market, the debt and generally is going to be the primary funding for the growth. The concerns that you have mentioned on the increase of cost of debt, this is going to be compensated for the company through the regulated weighted average cost of capital, which is getting reset every three years.

Speaker #2: We started monetizing some of our some of our assets and if you look into the presentation that we've presented we started with our real estates as a as a one asset monetization exercise that we do for what we call it in the company non revenue generating assets which is the real estate.

Speaker #2: And we will continue with this as a source of funding to the core business. However to answer your question given the stable balance sheet that we have and room of accessing cheap capital through the debt capital market we the debt and generally is going to be the primary funders funding for the growth.

Speaker #2: The concerns that you've mentioned on the increase of cost of debt this is going to be compensated for the company through the regulated weighted average cost of capital.

Speaker #2: Which is getting reset every three years, so we're not concerned about being compensated for that increase in volatility in the market, as the regulator is looking into this as well.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: So we are not concerned about being compensated for that increase on the volatility in the market as the regulator is looking into this as well. However, just in a very simple term, we are trying and working to diversify the funding for our core business, in the future, bearing in mind the market condition, the diversification of all the funding for the growth.

Speaker #2: However, just to put it in very simple terms, we are trying and working to diversify the funding for our core business. In the future, bearing in mind the market conditions, the diversification of the pool of funding is important for growth.

Mohammed Faisal Potrik: All right. Thank you very much. Just, if I can you give some more details about how you are planning to monetize the real estate assets that you have? Is there anything in place, which you may want to share, or is it still in very early stages?

Mohammed Faisal: All right. Thank you very much. Just, if I can you give some more details about how you are planning to monetize the real estate assets that you have? Is there anything in place, which you may want to share, or is it still in very early stages?

Speaker #4: All right. Thank you very much. Just if I can can you give some more details about how you are planning to monetize the real estate assets that you have?

Speaker #4: I mean, is there anything in place which you may want to share, or is it still in very early stages?

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: We have already started. I think if you are interested more on this topic, I think it would be more insightful to reach to the subsidiary itself and see the monetization strategy that they have in details. Some of their monetization structures mature or some of them is at early stage, which I think the investor relations team can connect you with them directly.

Speaker #2: We have already started and I think if you are interested more on on this topic I think it would be more insightful to reach to the subsidiary itself and see the monetization strategy that they have in details.

Speaker #2: Some of their monetization structures are mature, while some are at an early stage. I think the Investor Relations team can connect you with them directly.

Mohammed Faisal Potrik: Sure. Thank you very much.

Mohammed Faisal: Sure. Thank you very much.

Speaker #4: Sure. Thank you very much.

Speaker #1: Our next question comes from Nafez Alabas. From Ajij Capital. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Nafez Al Abbas: Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to ask a question. My question is on the suppliers. Do you think, or did you face any indication from them of delays or having them suffering from cost escalations due to the conflict? Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to ask question. My question is on the suppliers. Do you think or did you face any indication from them of delays or having them cost or like suffering from cost escalations due to the conflict?

Speaker #3: Thank you.

Abdulaziz Almuhaizah: Well, definitely we are looking into the geopolitical situation very carefully, and we are monitoring the sustainability of supply chain and security of supplying the needs of our projects. However, given the government's direction and the close coordination between the company and Ministry of Energy, we haven't seen a significant delay or change that might impact the execution of projects. There might be some delays in some of the projects due to some delays in arrival of some of these spare parts or material for the projects, but this is not going to be significant that is going to impact the execution of projects. I think the results of this period is a great proof of the resilience of the supply chain and the execution of these projects. Not to mention that a big portion of our supply is localized and coming from the local market.

Speaker #2: Well definitely we are looking into the geopolitical situation very carefully and we are monitoring the sustainability of supply chain and security of supplying the needs of our projects.

Speaker #2: However given the government's direction and the close coordination between the company and Ministry of Energy we haven't seen a significant delay or change that might impact the execution of projects.

Speaker #2: There might be some delays in some of the projects due to some delays in arrival of the of some of these spare parts or material for the projects.

Speaker #2: But this is not going to be a significant that is going to impact the the execution of projects. And I think the results of the period is a great proof of the resilience of the supply chain and the execution of these projects.

Speaker #2: Not to mention that a big portion of our supplies localized and coming from the local market.

Nafez Al Abbas: Great. Thank you very much.
