00:22 But as for the details of the company's business results, we notice that the net profit was 5% during the first quarter of this year.
00:31 As we mentioned, this is due to the non-operational revenues and revenues from its units in Qatar and Oman.
00:38 We also notice that the profits before the cuts, if we are talking about taxation and other benefits,

00:49 This confirms the positive extent of the company's performance.
00:54 If we are talking about revenues, today, there were increases of 4% during the first quarter of this year.
01:01 This is due to the support of the operational activities in Iraq, Algeria and Tunisia.
01:06 As for other revenues, we notice that there are increases of 86%
01:12 The main factor that is due to this is the compensation, which is paid in a financial compensation
01:18 according to a judicial ruling worth more than 500 million Riyals from the Kuwaiti government.
01:23 We are also noticing the non-operational revenues for the company.
01:27 The financing costs were more than 13% during the first quarter of this year.

02:43 Moving on to the main factors this time and the existing ones,
02:47 we noticed that there were declines of 2.4% during the first quarter of this year.
