2Q12 Earnings
Saudi Arabia Earnings of Saudi Arabian companies totaled USD 6.5bn, a 6% decrease YoY.
SABIC, which reported USD 1.4bn in 2Q profits, saw its bottom-line decline 35% YoY due to softening of global petrochemical prices and higher raw
materials costs. Saudi Banks earnings increased 11% YoY while it fell 1% over
1Q12 to USD 2.0bn. Al Rajhi Bank reported a 14% YoY growth in net income to USD 558mn, on account of higher operating income. Telecom sector‟s
earnings grew 18% YoY to USD 891mn as Etihad Etisalat‟s earnings rose 22% to USD 379mn due to higher revenue from data services. Saudi Telecom
posted a 7% growth in earnings YoY at USD 642mn
Kuwait
Kuwait corporate earnings dropped 27% YoY to USD 811mn. Kuwait saw its earnings recover in the first quarter of 2012 after three consecutive quarters
of decline. However Kuwait corporations haven‟t been able to sustain the recovery in 2Q12. Bank earnings declined 25% over the year and 32% over
1Q12 to USD 380mn. National Bank of Kuwait‟s earnings dropped 41% to USD 142mn owing to a USD 96.4mn provision it took due to the deteriorating
operating environment. Telecom companies reported a bottom-line of USD
310mn (-20% YoY, -11% QoQ). Wataniya‟s profits fell almost 50% YoY as a result of competitive pressures in the country and negative exchange rate
movements in Algeria. Zain earnings dropped 1% over the year, settling at USD 254mn. Real Estate sector, whose profits grew 39% YoY dropped 62%
over the quarter to USD 34mn.
UAE
During 2Q12, UAE companies posted earnings of USD 3.0bn, a 12% growth YoY, and a 4% decline over the quarter. Banking sector, which accounts for
54% of UAE profits, declined 7% YoY, but grew 2% over the quarter to USD 1.6bn. Emirates NBD which had recovered from its lackluster performance
during 1Q12 registered a 13% YoY fall in net earnings this quarter. The
bank‟s 1H12 profits settled 40% lower than that of 1H11 due to gain on the sale of a stake in Network International last year. NBAD reported 2% YoY
growth in net income to USD 285mn primarily due to lower provisioning. Telecom earnings grew 22% YoY and 2% QoQ to USD 597mn. Etisalat
reported a net profit of USD 508mn, 17% growth on a YoY basis buoyed by
robust international operations. Real estate continued its recovery with profits of USD 355mn (1Q12: USD 342mn, 2Q11: USD 5mn). While Emaar witnessed
a 146% YoY growth in earnings to USD 167mn driven by increase in contribution of subsidiaries, Aldar‟s 228% increase in profits was led by better
occupancy. Table 1: Earnings Growth – Sectoral Trend (USD mn)

Qatar
Qatar‟s earnings continued to grow at a stable rate of 8% YoY and 5% over
the quarter to USD 2.6bn. Industries Qatar‟s earnings sustained recovery this quarter with a 3% growth over the year to USD 585mn. Bank earnings
continue to benefit from higher government spending with growth of 9% YoY and 3% sequentially to USD 1.14bn. Qatar National Bank‟s net income (USD
580mn) grew 17% YoY – the slowest bottom-line growth in the last 2 years.
Oman
Oman‟s corporate earnings grew 56% YoY and 7% over the previous quarter to USD 469mn. Banking sector profits grew to USD 173mn (+114% YoY,
+5% QoQ). Bank Muscat‟s net income of USD 91mn was 19% higher on a
YoY basis.
Bahrain Bahrain‟s corporate profits dropped 29% YoY in 2Q12 to USD 370mn. The
decline amounted to 11% on a sequential basis. Banking profits plunged 28% YoY and fell nearly 25% sequentially to USD 186mn. The drastic decline in
banking income was led by Bahrain Islamic Bank (a loss of USD 44mn) and a
25% and 13% decline in earnings of Arab Banking Corpn and United Gulf Bank respectively. Higher gas costs and lower London Metal Exchange levels
impacted Aluminium Bahrain‟s bottom-line (-49% YoY), while Bahrain Telecom‟s net profit was affected by lack of growth and stiff competition. The
company‟s 2Q profit was USD 49mn (-13% YoY).
Looking Ahead
Based on the current trend, we expect a muted earnings growth of 8% during the year 2012. We expect Saudi Arabia to clock a 9% growth to USD 27b
while UAE is expected to post a growth of 11% to USD 10.8 b. Kuwait earnings is expected to contract by 5% to USD 3.9b. Banks (38%),
Commodities (23%) and Telecom(14%) account for over 75% of earnings.
We expect Banks to post a growth of 8% to USD 21.5b, Commodities and Telecom are likely to contract by 1% each. Overall, stock markets should look
for triggers other than earnings to support it in 2012.
