Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Perfect Presentation for Commercial Services Co. (“2P” or the “Company”, 7204 on the Saudi Exchange), a leading ICT solutions provider in Saudi Arabia, has announced its financial results for the full year ending on 31 December 2022 (“FY22”), reporting continued growth in both revenues and net profit. Topline performance was primarily driven by Operation and Maintenance, which witnessed an improvement of 67% year-on-year (“YoY”) and contributed 38% to the Company’s consolidated revenues.

Financial highlights

Revenues amounted to SAR 927 million, up 41% YoY when compared to SAR 655 million in FY21, supported by continued growth across the entire portfolio of products and services provided by the Company.

EBITDA increased 59% YoY to SAR 145 million in FY22, predominantly due to the enhanced topline performance, which has largely outweighed the 34% YoY rise in selling, general, and administrative expenses. This translated to an increase in EBITDA Margin from 13.9% in FY21 to 15.6% in FY22.

Net Profit jumped from SAR 81 million in FY21 to SAR 131 million, which is primarily the result of the substantial topline growth during the period, as a result of the sustained positive momentum across all lines of business.

Backlog reached SAR 1.73 billion in FY22, thus increasing significantly by 55% YoY. 2P has continued to reinforce its position in the market and is targeting to leverage the favorable underlying fundamentals of the domestic operating landscape, such as solid economic progress, increasing emphasis by the government on the Kingdom’s digital transformation, and larger investments in smart cities and emerging technologies, amongst others. The International Data Corporation (IDC) is forecasting a 4 per cent annual growth rate in ICT spending in the Middle East, Türkiye and Africa in 2023, with Saudi Arabia expected to lead the region.

Ehsan Doughman, CEO of 2P commented: “Our strong performance in 2022 together with our healthy profitability are testament to our focus on investing in first class technology and services, reinforcing important commercial partnerships and reacting with agility to changing market trends in the rapidly growing ICT market. 2022 marks an important milestone for us, as it witnessed the successful IPO of 2P in November, which has enabled us to strengthen our ties with the investor community and raise our profile nationally, as we are set for further sustainable growth and development in the years to come.

Our rising market share in core business lines is underpinned by our commitment to operational excellence, complemented with a further broadening of our already solid client base both in the public and private sectors. 2P is indeed well positioned to significantly increase its contribution to transforming the Kingdom’s ICT sector, as it expands and prospers in line with Vision 2030’s drive for innovation and national self-sufficiency.”

Maher Bawadi, CFO of 2P said: “The underlying strength of our business has enabled us to make considerable investments towards the future growth and success of 2P, while still recording very healthy financial numbers for the year, with a strong improvement in both revenues and net profit. Our backlog stands at historically high levels and is continuing to grow, thus providing us with excellent visibility for a robust revenue stream in future years. As we successfully execute our backlog, we remain focused on optimizing our costs, whilst expanding our operational and delivery capacity.

Segmental Analysis

Customer Experience revenues increased by a steady 14% during the year to SAR 344 million, accounting for 37% of the total, which was predominantly due to a dual effect from a rising number of contracts complemented with an increase in average contract value. Key contracts in FY22 include with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), the Ministry of Energy, and the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).

Operation and Maintenance revenues continued their solid growth trajectory in FY22, increasing substantially by 67% to SAR 354 million, and comprising 38% of total revenues. This was essentially the result of a strategic shift towards managed services for information technology during the year, with the use of advanced AI-enabled tools to achieve customers’ desired objectives.

Software Development revenues sustained their upward trend in FY22, and an expanding footprint across the Kingdom. 2P has also leveraged new collaborations during the year, including with the global cloud-powered digital experience company Liferay, the digital experience analytics company Contentsquare, and Nexthink, to underpin the Company’s focus on the innovation of new technologies. Revenues amounted to SAR 229 million, rising significantly by 62% YoY from SAR 141 million, and contributing 25% of consolidated revenues.

Key highlights during FY22

  • 2P has successfully completed its listing on Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) during the year, which was heavily oversubscribed. This is considered an important new phase in the journey of the Company, which provides a compelling investment opportunity, based on a number of growth enablers including a comprehensive and integrated service offering, promising market potential, strong underlying fundamentals and a robust backlog.
  • The Company signed a joint strategic agreement with Huawei, to develop local talent through the transfer of knowledge and extensive training in the following areas:
  • network and infrastructure solutions
  • modern data center systems
  • the latest technologies in video conferencing and online meetings
  • renewable energy solutions
  • 2P launched a new product called Contracting Business ERP, a software solution catered to contracting companies, to automate their business operations across all stages, from sales leads, and invoicing, leading up to delivery and collection.
  • The Company signed a number of strategic partnership agreements to fast-track its goals of enhancing its market positioning, product and service offering and innovation. These include collaborations with Alcatel Lucent, Nokia, Life Ray, Next Think, Huawei, and Content Square.
