Zain KSA, a telecommunications and digital services leader in Saudi Arabia, reported a remarkable 39.5% increase in net profit for the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, reaching SAR 93 million. The company’s revenue also grew by 6.1% year-over-year (YoY) to SAR 2.7 billion, while the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 5.2% to SAR 813 million.
This financial growth is attributed to Zain KSA’s strategic 5G network expansion, which has driven strong demand from both individual consumers and enterprise clients. The company’s digital service portfolio, including the Yaqoot platform, has contributed significantly to the progress, alongside increased investment returns from the fintech sector, such as Tamam.
Zain KSA’s Acting CEO, Eng. Saad bin Abdulrahman Al-Sadhan, highlighted, “Our Q1 results demonstrate our strategy’s continued success in delivering an unparalleled user experience in Saudi Arabia’s telecom and digital services market. Our priority is to anticipate and meet the evolving needs of consumers and enterprises alike through integrated, future-ready solutions that drive meaningful impact.”
Al-Sadhan emphasized recent initiatives to enhance the digital experience for pilgrims during Ramadan through a partnership with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, and the forthcoming collaboration with Huawei to co-develop artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics solutions for Hajj 2025.
He noted, “Zain KSA continues to build its digital capabilities, leveraging platforms such as Zain Cloud, our robust and fully compliant infrastructure aligned with Saudi Arabia’s regulatory and cybersecurity standards, to empower digital transformation across the public and private sectors.”
Additionally, Zain KSA secured a license from the Digital Government Authority (DGA) to independently provide digital authentication services, establishing its significant role in the Kingdom’s digital ecosystem.
At LEAP 2025, Zain KSA announced strategic partnerships to advance 5G and 5.5G technologies, AI-driven solutions, and cloud computing capabilities. These initiatives further reflect the company’s commitment to driving sustainability and green innovation in telecommunications and digital services while expanding to meet the increasing demand for advanced connectivity.
Zain KSA’s Q1 2025 results align with its commitment to investing in next-generation 5G infrastructure, accelerating Saudi Vision 2030’s digital transformation goals.
