    Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor

    In addition to historical information, this press release contains statements relating to possible future events and/or the Company’s future results (including results of business operations, certain projections, future financial condition, pro forma financial information, and business trends and prospects) that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. The statements made in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, anticipated cash flow generation and expected shareholder benefits. Such forward-looking statements often contain, or are prefaced by, words such as “will”, “may,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “pro forma”, “estimates,” “aims,” “believes,” “hopes,” “potential,” “intends,” “suggests,” “appears,” “seeks,” or variations of such words or similar words and expressions of future tense. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, are based on certain assumptions, and are subject to various known risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, as a result of a number of factors, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The international pandemic, the “Novel Coronavirus” (“COVID-19”), negatively impacted and disrupted the Company’s business operations and had a significant negative impact on the global economy and employment in general, resulting in, among other things, a lack of demand for the Company’s services. This was exacerbated by government and client directed “quarantines”, “remote working”, “shut-downs” and “social distancing”. Some of these outcomes or by-products of the pandemic have persisted in one form or another since and there is no assurance that conditions will ever fully return to their former pre-pandemic status quo. These and certain other factors that might cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (i) the loss, default or bankruptcy of one or more customers; (ii) changes in general, regional, national or international economic conditions; (iii) an act of war or terrorism, industrial accidents, or cyber security breach that disrupts business; (iv) changes in the law and regulations; (v) the effect of liabilities and other claims asserted against the Company including the failure to repay indebtedness or comply with lender covenants including the lack of liquidity to support business operations and the inability to refinance debt, failure to obtain necessary financing or the inability to access the capital markets and/or obtain alternative sources of capital; (vi) changes in the size and nature of the Company’s competition; (vii) the loss of one or more key executives; (viii) increased credit risk from customers; (ix) the Company’s failure to grow internally or by acquisition or the failure to successfully integrate acquisitions; (x) the Company’s failure to improve operating margins and realize cost efficiencies and economies of scale; (xi) the Company’s failure to attract, hire and retain quality recruiters, account managers and salesmen; (xii) the Company’s failure to recruit qualified candidates to place at customers for contract or full-time hire; (xiii) the adverse impact of geopolitical events, government mandates, natural disasters or health crises, force majeure occurrences, future global pandemics such as COVID-19 or other harmful viral or non-viral rapidly spreading diseases and such other factors as set forth under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). More detailed information about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking statements is set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) and does not intend to publicly update, revise, or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

  • Saudi Electricity Company Reports 22% Net Profit Growth in Q2 2025

    Saudi Electricity Company Reports 22% Net Profit Growth in Q2 2025

    Strong Results Reflect Rising Demand, Business Growth, and Strategic Investments Amid Saudi Arabia’s Accelerating Energy Transition

    RIYADH, SA / ACCESS Newswire / August 10, 2025 / Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) continued to deliver robust financial and operational performance in the second quarter and first half of 2025.
    Revenue for Q2 grew by 24% to reach SAR 27.7 billion, while gross profit rose by 42% to SAR 7.4 billion. Operating profit increased by 21% to SAR 6.8 billion, and net profit reached SAR 5.3 billion-marking a 22% year-on-year increase.

    For the first half of 2025, SEC reported a revenue growth of 23%, totalling SAR 47.2 billion. Gross profit rose by 40% to SAR 10.2 billion, operating profit increased by 20% to SAR 9.1 billion, and net profit grew by 19% to SAR 6.3 billion compared to the same period in 2024.

    This strong financial performance was primarily driven by higher allowed revenue due to the growth of the regulated asset base of the electricity network and increased electricity production revenues in response to rising energy demand. These gains were partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses due to network expansion, asset growth, and increased loads, as well as a rise in provisions for accounts receivable and a decrease in other income.

    SEC noted that the expansion of its regulated asset base reflects the continued growth in its transmission and distribution networks to meet increasing electricity demand, support renewable energy integration, and advance energy storage projects. The company is also maintaining strategic investments in digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives.

    Commenting on the results, Engineer Khalid bin Salim Al-Ghamdi, Acting CEO of SEC, stated:

    “Our positive performance in the first half of 2025 reflects the company’s continued growth across its business portfolio and asset base. It aligns with our strategy to provide reliable and secure electricity across the Kingdom, improve service quality for our customers, and advance sustainability and operational excellence.

    We are committed to further strengthening our position and leveraging the significant opportunities emerging from the energy transition in Saudi Arabia, in line with the ambitions of Vision 2030-enabled by the dedication of our talented national workforce and our unwavering commitment to serving the nation.”

    As of the end of H1 2025, the renewable energy capacity connected to the grid exceeded 9.2 GW, and the company successfully commissioned 8.0 GWh of battery energy storage systems across four sites: Bisha, Jazan, Khamis Mushait, and Najran.

    SEC is currently developing an additional 14 GWh of storage capacity, expected to be operational and grid-connected next year, further strengthening grid reliability and renewable energy integration.

    Reaffirming its commitment to embedding sustainability throughout its operations and enhancing its ESG practices, SEC achieved a significant leap in its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating from S&P Global, earning 65 out of 100 in 2025. This marks a 30% increase over2024 and an 85% improvement over 2023.

    This accomplishment places SEC at the top of all companies in Saudi Arabia and as the regional leader in the energy sector across the Middle East and North Africa, surpassing the global utilities sector average by 66%, reinforcing its global leadership in sustainability performance.

    Electricity demand continued to rise in H1 2025, with peak load growing by 3% to 75.1 GW, and total electricity consumption increasing by 10% to reach 160.5 terawatt-hours.
    SEC successfully met record-breaking peak loads in Makkah, Madinah, and the Holy Sites during the 1446H Hajj season without a single service interruption-thanks to the company’s full mobilization of resources to serve pilgrims and ensure their comfort.

    The company also made strong progress in service expansion and infrastructure development. SEC connected around 110,000 new customers, bringing the total customer base to 11.4 million.
    The length of the distribution network grew by 6% to exceed 827,000 circuit kilometers, while transmission and fiber optic networks grew by 6% and 9%, respectively, reaching 103.8 thousand and 101 thousand circuit kilometers.

    As part of its efforts to enhance service reliability and customer experience, SEC continued digital infrastructure upgrades and automated distribution substations, connecting them to control centers via fiber optic networks.

    The automation rate of distribution substations reached 38.4%, and customer satisfaction rose to 85.8%, underscoring improvements in service quality and communication effectiveness.

    Steps Detox Opens New Addiction Treatment Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana

    Steps Detox has officially opened a new facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, expanding access to medically supervised detox and addiction recovery services for residents across Southwest Louisiana and the Acadiana region. Located near the heart of Lake Charles, Steps Detox – Lake Charles is positioned to serve communities including Scott, Broussard, Opelousas, New Iberia, and surrounding areas.

    The new location offers the same standard of care established at the organization’s Lafayette facility, focusing on personalized, evidence-based treatment that acknowledges the unique nature of each individual’s recovery journey. Steps Detox – Lake Charles accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicaid, in an effort to make treatment more accessible and reduce barriers to care.

    “Our team is honored to bring our person-first approach to Lake Charles,” said Roy Viger, Owner of Steps Detox. “We’ve seen the difference compassionate, individualized treatment can make. Expanding to this area allows us to reach more individuals and families in need, and we’re excited to support long-term recovery in this community.”

    The addiction treatment center in Lake Charles offers various services tailored to the diverse needs of individuals seeking treatment. One of its signature offerings is veteran addiction support, recognizing the specific challenges former service members face. According to national data, more than one million veterans meet the criteria for substance use disorder, with high rates of alcohol and illicit drug use. Steps Detox – Lake Charles provides dedicated programming for veterans, including medication-assisted treatment, individual counseling, and peer group therapy sessions. These services are designed to address both the physical aspects of addiction and the emotional and psychological toll of military experience. The veteran-focused program also includes aftercare planning to ensure continued access to support networks and recovery resources following discharge.

    Steps Detox – Lake Charles also offers a 30-day residential treatment program that provides a stable and structured environment for individuals in early recovery. Residents receive around-the-clock care, including medication-assisted treatment where clinically appropriate, individual and group therapy, and discharge planning. The residential program is intended to give individuals the opportunity to focus entirely on recovery, away from everyday triggers, in a therapeutic setting supported by licensed medical and behavioral health professionals.

    Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, is an integral component of care at Steps Detox. MAT involves the use of FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, and is delivered in conjunction with therapy and counseling. At the Lake Charles location, MAT services are overseen by trained addiction specialists who develop and monitor individualized treatment plans to ensure safety and effectiveness. The goal of MAT is to support stabilization and provide a foundation for lasting sobriety.

    Enrollment into treatment at Steps Detox – Lake Charles begins with a confidential phone assessment, followed by an in-person evaluation within 24 hours. From there, the clinical team develops a personalized treatment plan focused on each individual’s medical, psychological, and emotional needs. Ongoing support is provided throughout and after treatment to promote sustainable recovery.

    Steps Detox continues to serve patients at its original Lafayette location and remains committed to expanding high-quality addiction care across Louisiana.

    The organization’s expansion into Lake Charles reflects its mission to provide accessible, person-centered services that help individuals regain control of their lives and health.
