Revenue less costs for the period, in the order the IFRS for SMEs presents them. A negative figure is a cost. The profit carries to the balance sheet's equity.

Revenue, costs, and what is left

The income statement (قائمة الدخل) shows the period's revenue, the costs set against it, and the profit, in the order the IFRS for SMEs presents them: revenue, cost of sales, gross profit; operating expenses, operating profit; finance cost, profit before zakat; zakat (or income tax), net profit. Non-listed Saudi companies report under IFRS for SMEs as adopted by SOCPA; the layout is the same under full IFRS.

  • The company name and the period ("for the year ended").
  • Each line with a note reference where the notes explain it.
  • Costs as negative figures, subtotals in bold: gross profit, operating profit, profit before zakat, net profit.
  • A comparative column for the prior period, in the statements you file.

The sample year

Revenue of 860,000.00 less cost of sales of 410,000.00 is a gross profit of 450,000.00 (52 percent). Operating expenses of 327,000.00 leave an operating profit of 123,000.00; finance cost of 4,000.00 gives 119,000.00 before zakat. The zakat line is shown at 2.5 percent of that profit for illustration; the real charge is 2.5 percent of the zakat base, which is computed from equity and adjusted profit, not from profit alone.

Gross margin450,000 ÷ 860,000 = 52.3%
Operating margin123,000 ÷ 860,000 = 14.3%
Net profit116,025.00

Questions

Is zakat an expense or a distribution?

Under SOCPA's guidance zakat is presented as a charge in the income statement, after profit before zakat. For a company with foreign shareholders the foreign share bears income tax at 20 percent instead, shown on the same line.

What is the difference between cost of sales and operating expenses?

Cost of sales is what the goods or services sold cost to buy or make: materials, direct labour, freight in. Operating expenses are the cost of running the business regardless of volume: salaries of staff not in production, rent, depreciation, marketing.

Do I present expenses by nature or by function?

Either, consistently. By function (cost of sales, selling, administrative) is the sample's layout and the common Saudi practice; by nature (materials, staff, depreciation) is allowed and must then also be disclosed in the notes under the function method.

Is the profit here the same as the zakat base?

No. The zakat base starts from equity and long-term funding and adjusts for non-zakatable assets, with adjusted net profit as a component; the result is often different from accounting profit. The statement shows the accounting profit; the zakat return computes the base.
