Saudi ACWA Power Q2 2025 profit falls 24% on higher finance costs

ACWA Power, the Saudi-listed developer and operator of power, water and green hydrogen projects, said second-quarter 2025 net profit fell 24% year-on-year (YoY) to 481.8 million Saudi riyals ($128.44 million) on higher finance costs and impairment losses. Revenue rose 12% to SAR1.7 billion in the second quarter compared to SAR1.6 billion a year earlier, driven primarily by the sale of electricity. However, net profit for the first half of 2025 declined 2% to SAR 909 million, from SAR 926.8 million in the same period last year. Revenue for the period surged 32% to SAR 3.7 billion, as electricity sales grew. Impairment losses reached SAR 297 million in the first six months compared to SAR 146 million a year earlier. Financing costs increased by 21% annually to SAR905 million. (Editing by Brinda Darasha;

Saudi: New Murabba, Alat sign deal to develop next-gen vertical transport for The Mukaab

RIYADH — New Murabba Development Company and Alat have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore advanced vertical mobility solutions — including next-generation elevators and escalators — for The Mukaab and the wider New Murabba development. The agreement focuses on deploying innovative technologies to enable seamless and intelligent movement within the mega urban destination. This includes the integration of transformative digital systems to elevate the visitor experience inside The Mukaab through cutting-edge, multi-sensory environments. Under the MoU, both parties will collaborate on identifying the best financing strategies for initial investments in hardware and R&D. The agreement also includes a feasibility study to establish high-performance manufacturing facilities in Saudi Arabia capable of meeting project demands, supporting national localization targets tied to New Murabba. Post-installation services such as warranty, maintenance, and software updates will also be jointly assessed. Michael Dyke, CEO of New Murabba Development Company, said the agreement marks a key milestone in delivering a future-ready, smart urban destination. "Our partnership with Alat reinforces our commitment to integrating next-gen technologies that will redefine urban living and visitor engagement," he said. Alat CEO Amit Midha described the collaboration as a bold step toward shaping tech-enabled urban life. "Combining Alat's AI-driven solutions with New Murabba's ambitious vision opens new possibilities for transformative smart city experiences," he added. The Mukaab is envisioned as a next-generation urban marvel — measuring 400 meters in height, width, and length — making it the tallest and most prominent structure in Riyadh. It combines traditional Najdi architectural aesthetics with advanced technology to create a mixed-use destination offering luxury hospitality, cultural attractions, residential units, retail zones, and interactive entertainment venues. Inside The Mukaab, visitors will be immersed in a world of innovation, from holographic 3D displays to a world-class digital sound system designed to accommodate large-scale performances. The structure will feature a one-of-a-kind lighting system that harmonizes art and innovation, enhancing the visual experience and seamlessly integrating with curated events and exhibitions. A unique pedestrian gateway will guide visitors through a tranquil path transitioning them from the bustling city into this immersive environment. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.

Oman's OQ Group secures first-ever S&P ‘BBB-' rating

MUSCAT: International ratings agency S&P Global Ratings has assigned a 'BBB-' global scale issuer credit rating and a 'gcAA-' Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regional scale rating to OQ SAOC, the wholly government-owned integrated energy group operating under the umbrella of Oman Investment Authority (OIA). This marks the first time OQ Group has received a public rating from S&P. Commenting on the announcement in a post on Thursday, July 31, 2025, the Group stated that the rating affirms 'OQ's position as a national energy leader committed to long-term resilience and value creation.' 'The assessment highlights OQ's strong liquidity position, disciplined capital structure, and key role in supporting Oman's economic diversification and energy transition under Vision 2040,' the company added. S&P said its assessment of OQ's business risk profile reflects its vertically integrated operations across the hydrocarbon value chain, with efforts to diversify and enhance its asset base. In 2024, upstream accounted for 60% of reported EBITDA, downstream 37%, and other segments—including alternative energy, marketing, manufacturing, and corporate functions—3%. The agency noted that most of OQ's assets are located within Oman (rated BBB-/Stable/A-3), benefiting from the country's robust energy infrastructure. This provides feedstock security, particularly for its refining and petrochemical operations. A well-established trading arm supports both upstream and downstream segments by off-taking production and sourcing feedstock, enhancing operational flexibility. OQ's downstream capacity was significantly boosted following the final completion of the 230,000-barrel-per-day Duqm (OQ8) refinery in April 2025. Developed as a 50:50 joint venture with Kuwait Petroleum (Europe), the refinery represents a major strategic milestone for the group. S&P further highlighted OQ's government-backed mandate to promote economic diversification and investment in Oman. Through its subsidiary, OQ Alternative Energy, the company is investing in renewable energy projects, many of which are expected to be developed in partnership with private players, with OQ retaining up to 50% ownership. Final investment decisions on several of these initiatives are expected in 2025 and 2026. Since 2021, OQ has significantly improved its balance sheet, reducing gross debt by over 45%—from RO 5.3 billion to RO 2.9 billion by end-2024. This deleveraging, supported by strong operating cash flows and nearly RO 2 billion in IPO and divestment proceeds over 2022–2024, underpins its robust credit profile, even amid expectations of a weaker market in 2025–2026. S&P expects funds from operations (FFO) to debt to remain solid at 50%–53% in 2025 and 54%–57% in 2026. Despite planned capital expenditure of RO 700–800 million annually in 2025 and 2026, including investments in maintenance and alternative energy projects, OQ is projected to generate positive free operating cash flow (FOCF) of RO 125–175 million in 2025 and RO 150–200 million in 2026. This is supported by its strong liquidity, including RO 3 billion in cash and cash equivalents, largely placed in interest-bearing short-term deposits, the agency noted. OQ maintains a conservative financial policy, targeting net debt to EBITDA of 2.0x–2.5x and keeping Funds from Operations (FFO) to debt above 55%. Annual dividends are set at RO 289 million, with additional payouts dependent on divestment proceeds. Distributions from 2026 onward are expected to remain balanced with performance, leverage, and investment priorities, S&P added. 2025 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
