On 2026-08-03 08:02:01 (Saudi Time), Arabian Shield Cooperative Insurance Co. announced its Interim financial results for the six months ended on June 30, 2026.

Year-on-Year Performance Drivers

For the six-month period ending 30 June 2026, insurance revenues declined 12.101% YoY to SAR 801.67 million (from SAR 912.03 million), primarily driven by a contraction in the company's credit life sector. Despite the revenue decline, net profit attributable to shareholders turned around to SAR 7.73 million from a net loss of SAR 23.46 million in the same period last year, an improvement of SAR 31.19 million, mainly due to a SAR 211,830 thousand (22%) decrease in insurance services expenses and a SAR 9,066 thousand (26%) increase in net investment income, as well as a SAR 1,073 thousand (24%) reduction in net insurance financing expenses. These positive drivers were partially offset by a SAR 71,488 thousand (729%) surge in net reinsurance contract expenses and a SAR 6,678 thousand (58%) rise in other operating expenses, alongside the SAR 110,366 thousand (12%) drop in insurance revenues.

Quarter-on-Quarter Performance Drivers

QoQ, insurance revenues edged up 1.223% to SAR 403.27 million (from SAR 398.40 million), driven by growth in the company's main sectors. However, net profit attributable to shareholders declined 42.282% QoQ to SAR 2.83 million (from SAR 4.90 million), as a sharp SAR 76.87 million (3,472%) surge in net reinsurance contract expenses and a SAR 7.35 million (29%) drop in net investment income more than offset the benefits from a SAR 77.39 million (19%) decrease in insurance services expenses and a SAR 1.67 million (67%) reduction in net insurance financing expenses.
