Welcome, everyone, and thank you for attending our earnings call for the first quarter of 2026. As always, I will start by taking you through our performance highlight, followed by an overview of our performance on our strategy Harmonize the Group. I will hand the floor to the CFO to cover the financial performance in more details. Now we'll take a closer look at our Q1 of this year performance. In the first quarter of this year, the bank delivered an excellent performance supported by the progress in our strategy execution and the healthy economy. This resulted in an outstanding net income of SAR 6.8 billion, alongside healthy balance sheet growth. The balance sheet remained solid. Total asset reach SAR 1.051 billion, higher 3% year-on-year and 1% year-to-date. While total liability were flat at SAR 899 billion during the first quarter of 2026, with a healthy LDR of 82.6%. Looking at the profitability, net income reached SAR 6.8 billion, as I mentioned, in the first quarter of this year, higher by 14% versus the same quarter of last year. Net yield income grew by 18%, while the non-yield income increased by 1%. Total operating income grow by 14%, reaching SAR 10.5 billion. In terms of the credit quality, we continue to maintain best-in-class asset quality with a cost of risk of 33 basis points, and NPL stand at 77 basis points, supported by a coverage ratio of 150%. Moving into key ratios, the bank maintains strong operating efficiency with a cost-to-income ratio standing at 23.3%. Total capital ratio reached 23%, well above the regulatory minimum, reflecting the bank healthy financial position. Our NIM expanded to 3.54%, higher by 38 basis points year-on-year. That's driven by ongoing efforts to improve yield and optimize the cost of funds in the current rate environment. Moving to the next slide, allow me to give you a highlight on the progress of our strategy execution. As I mentioned before, this year is the last year of our three-year strategy, Harmonize the Group. If we walk you through the pillars of our strategy, starting with the first pillar, B2C, our focus on retail cross-selling remains a key goal. The product per customer ratio stands at 42%, higher by 6% since we introduced our strategy. Our sales from our targeted customer portfolio have witnesses a growth of 371% since the beginning of the strategy in 2023, and that backed by of effort to expand our customer base across both existing and the new segment. Our universal offering and financial solution have made us the bank of choice for over 21 million customer across the kingdom. We also maintain high customer satisfaction, reflecting in a Net Promoter Score, NPS, of 82. Moving to the second pillar of our strategy, B2B, our corporate portfolio continue to grow, reaching around SAR 273 billion, higher 15% year-on-year. This growth was driven by our ongoing effort to expand wholesale lending and focus more on SMEs, which has grown massively by 51% year-on-year. Now the SMEs representing 24% of our non-retail book and 9% of our financing book. Our focus on developing the investment banking business is a key part of our strategy to enhance non-yield income, with revenue from investment banking activity, which has grown by 318% since 2023. In terms of the third pillar, Support Business, we continue to invest in technology and automation across the group to drive innovation and operational excellence. As of the first quarter 2026, the percentage of the process automated reached now 65%, while the percentage of applications that are cloud ready increased to 96%. That's supporting our strategy of becoming a cloud-ready bank. For the last pillar, Digital and Data, the digital to manual ratio stand at 96% to 4% by end of the first quarter 2026, highlighting solid progress in our digital transformation. AI and event-driven activities continue to build momentum in generating revenue through data-driven marketing, which increased by more than 500% since the beginning of this strategy in 2023. Now, please allow me to hand over to our CFO, Abdulrahman, to provide a detailed update of our financial performance, and thank you. Thank you, Waleed. Good day, ladies and gentlemen. It is my pleasure to welcome you again to our Q1 2026 earnings call. As usual, I'll go over the financial performance slides very quickly so that we'll have further time during the Q&A session. Starting with the balance sheet, as you can see that our total balance sheet stand at SAR 1.05 trillion, 3% growth year-on-year, driven by 4% growth in our financing book year-on-year. On a sequential basis, it's almost flat, no material movement, as you can see on the bottom left-hand side of the chart. On the funding side, we've managed to further increase our customer deposit. That give us the flexibility to shed off almost SAR 13 billion of an expensive interbank deposit in order to manage our cost of funds efficiently. We also tapped in the international debt capital market earlier in January, where we raised $1 billion of a Tier 1 Sukuk issuance. Zooming further into the main driver of the balance sheet movements, as you can see on the top left-hand side of the chart, our total financing book stand at SAR 754 billion, almost 4% growth year-on-year. Retail representing almost 64% of our financing book, no movement compared to the year-end. To analyze the year-to-date movement, as you can see on the top right-hand side of the chart, our mortgage book have grown by 1%. Ex mortgage of the retail book contracted by almost SAR 3.1 billion. It's worth to highlight that we securitized close to SAR 1.4 billion of consumer loans in order to help further boost the liquidity and the capital profile for the organization. In continuation of our repricing effort, there has been a repayment on our corporate book by almost SAR 5 billion. Those were paid, the pricing of those corporate exposure were at a low spread. However, that has been managed and negated by further growth in the SME book by almost SAR 7 billion. Those initiative are part of the management action to further improve the asset mix and to improve the repricing, which will subsequently have a better impact into our gross yield expansion. Our total customer deposit stand at SAR 679 billion, 3% growth year-on-year and almost 2% on a sequential basis. CASA as a percentage of the customer deposit stand at 67.8% compared to 64.8% as of December 2025. The movement of our customer deposit, as you can see on the bottom right-hand side of the chart, we managed to grow our CASA by almost 6.5% year-to-date. That growth helped us to further shed off a time deposit of almost SAR 16 billion, coupled with the SAR 13 billion, as we discussed on the previous slide, that will help to manage our cost of funds efficiently. Our investment book stand at almost SAR 173 billion. No material movement, both on a sequential and a year-to-year basis, nor the mix. 75% of the book is fixed rate and close to 83% of the book is in domestic. We move to the profitability section. Our net income for the first quarter was SAR 6.752 billion, almost 14% growth year-on-year and 6% on a sequential basis. As you can see, the driver of the sequential movement on the bottom left-hand side of the chart, our yield income have grown by 3%. Non-yield income were lowered by 6%. The driver of that non-yield income is mainly under the other income, where, as you can see on the table in front of you, we got impacted by in the first quarter, this is due to the investment book mark-to-market, where we have seen both an interest rate increase coupled with a credit spread widening. Expense were lower by 8%, which bring the pre-provision profit to be 4.4% expansion on a sequential basis. The year-to-date movement, as you can see on the bottom right-hand side of the chart, yield income have grown by 18%. Non-yield income, despite the impact on the investment book, is still growth at a 1% year-on-year. Expense were higher by 17.7%, which bring the pre-provision profit to be around 13.5% higher year-on-year. To further zoom in into the net income driver, our operating income for the period were at SAR 10.5 billion, 14% increase year-on-year, and almost 1% expansion on a sequential basis. The driver of the year-on-year movement, as you can see on the top right-hand side of the chart, although that our average earning assets has increased by 6%, however, we had also the benefit of a 38 basis point expansion on NIM, which bring the NII to be higher by 18%. Fees have shown a very healthy growth of 17% year-on-year, mainly driven by executing Harmonize the Group strategy, as Waleed mentioned earlier, cross-sell, where we have seen a good improvement in both retail, corporate, transactions. Exchange income have shown a healthy growth of 24% year-on-year. On the other end, other income, which we highlighted earlier due to the mark-to-market of the investment book. NIM for first quarter was at 3.54, almost 38 basis points expansion year-on-year and 19 basis points compared to Q4. The driver of the NIM expansion, as you can see on the bottom right-hand side of the chart, we managed to further increase the gross yield by 24 basis points, coupled with a further improvement in the cost of funding by 13 basis points. If you recall, our NIM sensitivity for every 25 basis point drop into the three-month SAIBOR, the NIM or the theoretical NIM, will expand by 7 basis point. The SAIBOR movement year-on-year were almost 57 basis point, i.e., that will equate to a 16 basis point of a NIM expansion due to the SAIBOR movement. However, the delta of the 22 basis point were due to the management action vis-a-vis the following factor: the asset repricing, the asset mix, the, also the liability mix, given that the focus into the CASA, and finally, optimize our paid liability efficiently. OpEx were at around SAR 2.5 billion, 17.7% increase year-on-year, and at 8.3% lower sequential basis. The driver, as you can see on the top right-hand side of the chart, mainly onto the staff costs as well as into the G&A. Those are indeed required to further execute our Harmonize the Group strategy. Our cost-to-income ratio for the period were around 23.3% as of Q1 compared to 22.7% as of the same period last year. If you compare it against the Q4, we stand at 25.7%. NCL for the period, SAR 631, almost 20% higher year-on-year, while the cost of risk is around 33 basis points. As you can see on the bottom left-hand side of the chart, although our gross charge has increased by SAR 200 million, however, it has been negated by further improvement in our recoveries effort to negate that increase in the gross charge. The movement on the NCL mainly are going into the non-retail book, which we've seen a 15% growth year-on-year. NPL stand at SAR 5.9 billion, 3.5% higher year and higher on a sequential basis. If you look at the movement, write-off and inflow are in line of our expectation and better than Q1 of 2025. NPL ratio stand at 77 basis points, no material movement compared to the same period last year, nor the year end. That coupled with a still a healthy NPL coverage of 150%+. Our ECL stock at almost SAR 8.9 billion, 7% higher year-on-year, and it was a cross between retail and non-retail book. Stage one exposure at 96.7% as of Q1. In terms of stage coverage, as you can see on the bottom left-hand side of the chart, no material movement. Still stage one at 38 basis points, stage two at 10.8%, and finally stage three at 55.3%. Although that our headline LDR at 111%, but if you include the Sukuk plus the syndicate loan, our LDR will drop to 95% compared to regulatory LDR of 82.6%, still further room below the regulatory requirement of 90%. LCR and NSFR at a healthy level and above the minimum regulatory requirement. On the capital side, our total RWA stand at SAR 683 billion, 5% increase year-on-year, mainly driven by almost 7.5% increase in our credit risk RWA. RWA density at 65%. Our capital ratio, CET1 at 17.3%, Tier 1 at 21.6%, and finally, our total capital at 23%. On our Tier 1, as you can see on the bottom right-hand side of the chart, there has been a 113 basis points improvement in our capital adequacy due to the following factor: the internal capital generation of almost 88 basis points, coupled with the Sukuk benefit, which we discussed earlier. Our profitability metrics remain healthy. We have seen our ROAA reaching one of the highest level at almost 4% compared to 3.79% at Q4. Our ROE at 22.9% compared to 22.8% in Q4. Finally, our ROA expanded to 2.58% versus 2.43% in Q4. At the macro outlook, I think the IMF has updated the Saudi GDP forecast for 2026 to be 3.1% expansion, mainly driven by non-oil GDP, and kept the 2027 GDP expansion of around 4.5%. Consumer spending is still healthy, and where we have seen almost 10% increase year-on-year as of end of February. In terms of the rate outlook, our best guess forecast for the rate, we don't expecting any further movement into the rate environment. Finally, SLC, the 20-year mortgage stand at 7.4%. Reflecting in Q1 performance and outlook for the remaining of the year, we have updated our guidance for the NIM, where we upgraded the guidance to be 30 - 40 basis point, upgraded our Tier 1 guidance to be above 21%. We have kept the guidance unchanged for the other matrices. Waleed, back to you. Thank you, Abdulrahman, for the financial highlight. We are so proud of our outstanding performance and the progress made across all KPIs of our strategy, Harmonize the Group. Now we will open the floor for Q&A. Operator, back to you. Thank you. Of course, we will now begin the question and answer session. As a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question on today's call, please use the Raise Hand feature on your toolbar. If you're joined via the telephones, please dial star followed by one. Alternatively, Webex users can submit questions in writing via the Q&A function on your screen. Our first question today comes from Jon Peace of UBS. Jon, your line is open. Please go ahead. Thanks. Thanks very much for taking the questions. The first one is the NIM upgrade is a welcome surprise given how the curve has moved and your theoretical sensitivity. I just wondered what was the main driver behind that? What's really sort of changed since the outlook that you expected at the start of the year? Is it higher asset yields? Is it deposit mix? How have you managed to deliver that upgrade? On the non-interest income, what was the impact in the quarter from the regulatory fee caps? I guess we may have only seen a partial quarter impact of that. How might that look as we go into the second quarter? If I could just finally ask on the cost of risk, was there any overlays that you took for the current environment or anything that you might anticipate taking at the half-year stage? Thanks very much. Jon, on the NIM driver, if you recall the NIM slide, we managed to grow our NIM by 38 basis points year-on-year. If you recall our NIM sensitivity, due to the rate movement and the SAIBOR, it's around 16 basis points. Over the last 18 months, we've been discussing that the bank's focusing is into the value rather than profitability. The management focus was to reprice our assets to reflect the liquidity premium, looking at opportunities on the asset mix to improve the gross yield, also opportunities to improve our CASA as a percentage of the overall customer deposit, finally, optimizing our cost of fund. All those four factor have contributed to 22 basis point out of the 38 basis point NIM expansion year-on-year. I think the way that we looking three-month SAIBOR stand at 4.78% as we speak today. We don't expecting any material movement into the rate. I think based on SAMA bulletin data as of February, we've seen a very good growth into the customer deposit of almost SAR 115 billion, while the loan portfolio were lower than that. That is improving in terms of the SAIBOR. So far, SAIBOR is looking at a much better than the peak that we've seen in Q3. All those three factor are take into consideration the NIM upgrade that we have highlighted earlier. As far as the second question into the fee income, although some of the regulatory changes that has happened in February, nevertheless, if you look at our fee income growth on a sequential basis, I think we managed to further grow our fee income by almost 3% on a sequential basis. Also, if you recall, there has been further regulatory changes into the fee income or the payments that has happened in July last year. Through the management initiatives, have taken few actions in terms of counter impact, and I think we overcome those regulatory changes. The way that we will work is find a way how to further improve the fee income contribution to the bottom line. As far as the cost of risk, I think we keep updating our ECL model in a regular basis, take into consideration the operating environment. There are elements within our ECL model have shown a negative side, but also there are other elements that have shown a positive sign, for example, oil prices. I think overall, as we speak, and I think 33 basis points cost of risk for the first quarter is adequate. As per our current best case forecast, I think we are comfortable with the cost of risk guidance for 2026 to be in the range between 30 - 40 basis points. Great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Our next question comes from Rahul Bajaj of Citi. Rahul, your line is open. Please go ahead. Rahul, please unmute your line locally and proceed with your questions. We're not receiving any audio from Rahul's line, so we'll move on to the next questioner. Oh, hello. Go ahead with your question, Rahul. Sorry, sorry for that. Rahul Bajaj from Citi here. I have two questions mainly. First one is on securitization. If I understand correctly and got the number correctly, you've done SAR 1.4 billion of securitization in the first quarter. Just to clarify, this is mortgages or non-mortgage retail book securitization? If I'm not mistaken, there was some further news around securitization in the last few days around mortgages. Could you just clarify what is the kind of quantum of the securitization that you've done in April? The guidance on loan growth is post these securitizations, just to clarify. That's if my understanding is correct. That's my first question. My second question is on, just want to understand if there are projects being reprioritized or shelved in the current sort of environment in Saudi, what kind of exposures do you have to such projects which are probably being put on the back burner? Are there any such exposures? If such, how do you feel about kind of provisioning levels for those projects? Thank you. Question, that two. First one, the SAR 1.4 billion securitization that we've done in the first quarter is ex mortgage of the retail book. Second question is on the mortgage. Yes, that we've done a securitization post Q1 result. Mortgage securitization is something as a available tools for the management to be able to diversify the funding, as well as improving the capital structure. It is one of the main initiatives as a part of the management action to optimize our NIM. I think the delta, we've been saying, regularly, as long as this, the delta between the new origination rate minus the securitized book rate, plus any fees, that will have a positive impact over the medium term. Third question, I'll leave to my colleague, Salim. Basically, we don't have any major exposure to any deprioritized projects. [audio distortion]. Just to clarify, are there SMEs who you might have exposure to who would be impacted by these project cancellations? SMEs? Be related to, Sorry, I'm not able to get the audio. Hello? The room now. You guys hear me now? Yes, we can. Okay, just to answer the question specifically on SME, basically, our SME exposure is largely Based on program lending, like point of sales financing, lease financing. Again, the answer would be we don't have a major exposure in SME or even corporate to any deprioritized projects to solve the question. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Murad Ansari of GTN. Murad, your line is open. Please proceed with your question. Good afternoon, thanks for the presentation. I wanted to just understand on the corporate loan pre- repayment that's come in this quarter. This was scheduled, or was it more of a pricing kind of adjustment that led to this repayment? Understanding if it was a maturity or if it was a prepayment. Are there other parts of the corporate book where you'd be looking to, you know, optimize the asset yields or the returns? Is that something that we should expect happening over the course of the year? My second question was on the SME loan book. It's been, you know, phenomenally strong, over the last many years. This last few quarters, average growth has been around 15%+. You know, how do you see this kind, the growth on the SME side progressing over the course of this year? I mean, 50% is high, but is the market expanding? Are you taking away market share from peers? Just wanted to get a sense of that. Thirdly, on the CASA mixed improvement, is that primarily retail versus, you know, or corporate and you've made, you know, very strong improvement on this in one quarter. Do you see prospects of further improvement? What are the key drivers or, you know, factors affecting this improvement in CASA? Thank you. Thank you, Murad, for your question. For the corporate growth, the repayment in the first quarter was a mix of both scheduled payment and then the other customer payment for the pricing purposes. For the SME, we believe still the market is there for growing an SME, and we believe as part of our strategy and Harmonize the Group is we should be the bank of choice for the SME customer, considering our experience in retail and most of the lending, as my colleague Salim mentioned, is a program lending product for the SME, also considering the network that we have it across the Kingdom. Thank you. Just on the CASA growth key drivers here and, you know, I mean, if you've made very strong improvement in the first quarter, do you see this trend sustaining through the course of the year, meaning further improvement or just your thoughts around that? Sure. We've, at the system level, based on the available information through the Tadawul announcement, the total system growth in the customer deposit in the first quarter were close to around SAR 113 billion. Overall, the majority of the CASA that we have improved in the first quarter are coming mainly from the non-retail book. Now, is it sustainable? Is it something that we anticipate that is could be a transitory? It's too early to take a call as we speak. We would like to see overall the another quarter. We keep our team at the corporate, private, the entire organization are on a regular contact of our customer. I think, you know, at Rajhi, the one of the main competitive advantage for Al Rajhi Bank is making sure that we have a sustainable and a stable CASA. Long story short, Murad, I think it's too early, nevertheless, this is something that we'll continue to focus in growing our CASA accordingly. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. Our next question comes from Mohammed Al- Rasheed of Hassana. Mohammed, please open your line and proceed with your question. Apologies. They have just removed their question registration. We'll move on to the next question that we have in the queue, and that is Chiro Ghosh of SICO Bank. Chiro, your line is open. Please go ahead. Hi, this is Chiro Ghosh from SICO, Bahrain. My first question is related to the liquidity. Now that not only Al Rajhi, most banks got a deposit infusion. Are you already seeing a pickup in competitive pressure or price cutting, especially on the lending side of it? Just want to get a sense on the ground reality. I mean, how is the competitive market space, especially on the corporate side of it? Similarly, I know you gave some clarity, but again, on the asset quality side of it, especially on the corporate side, we are a little surprised that there was no major pickup in like higher ECL on that side. I know again, you gave some clarity on that. Still would like to pick your brain to better understand how are you able to manage such steady asset quality in the corporate side especially? These are my two questions. On the liquidity side, Chiro, as I've mentioned earlier, we've seen the total increase into the customer deposit based on the public information on the first quarter, around SAR 114 billion. We also see that the total customer loans were around SAR 50 billion. That may give you an indication that the loan to deposit ratio for the bank system in the first quarter has improved. Loan to deposit ratio has improved compared to the year end. That has eased the pressure into the sector, which we've seen also the surplus sector spread has improved, and then now over the last three months. Overall, in our perspective, I think liquidity is there. I think it's about managing the assets pricing coupled with the cost of fund in order to further improve the NIM. That's on the liquidity side. On the second question related to the cost of risk, [Foreign language], I think if you look at the Saudi economy has been resilient over the last three months to the current geopolitical tension. I think overall, from the business, I think it is a BAU. We haven't seen any large deposit outflow. In fact, the deposits in the system has improved. We don't see any major signs of a stress as we speak. Nevertheless, between us and the credit team, I think we're monitoring the situation on a regular basis. If there's any action that we need to do, we'll take it. As we speak, I think the best case forecast for us based on the available information we have, cost of risk guidance for this year are still intact. Perfect. Yeah, very clear. Thank you very much. Thank you. Our next question comes from Olga Veselova of Bank of America. Olga, your line is open. Please proceed with your question. Good. Thank you and good day. My question is, Sorry, Olga. Olga, sorry. We have an echo. Would you mind to repeat your question again? Yes. Apologies. I think it should be better now. Three questions from my side. One is on fee income growth. If possible, maybe you could provide us your outlook on the pace of growth for the next several quarters. My second question is about your subsidiaries, Emkan and Ejada. Are you sticking to a plan to consider potential monetization of the subsidiaries at some point? What would be the triggers to come back to these plans? My third question is about your expansion of retail client base. In annual report, we noticed you added 1.1 million of non-resident retail clients last year, which was, of course, a great addition. What is product proposition there, and what's take-up of products by these clients? How much do you cross-sell on top of remittances to them? Thank you. Thank you for the questions, Olga. As far as the first question, I'm sure that you're aware that we don't provide any specific guidance of the fee income. Nevertheless, and I think if you recall, in early February 2024, when we come with the market with our updated strategy, Harmonize the Group strategy, I think one of the KPIs that we mentioned very clearly and articulated is the cross-sell. I think the bank improved the cross-sell. End of 2023, the percentage of the customer base, I think Waleed have mentioned it earlier, end of 2023, it used to be 38%. While as we speak, it stand at 44.2%. That to show that the focus of the management of the bank and the group subsidiaries is to be able to improve the customer lifetime value, and that should help into improving the fee income. However, rest assured that we are continue that despite some of the regulatory changes that has happened recently, I think the fee income are showing a very healthy growth, either customer acquisition, improving the cross-sell, and looking at the product feature services, the digitizing the customer journey. All of those have helped to further improve the fee income. The second question related to monetizing some of the subsidiaries. Definitely, this is something that we are looking to do, and I think we are in the process. As I mentioned, this is something that we believe any of our subsidiaries have reached the right maturity level in terms of product diversification, customer diversification, improvement into the overall management, key personnel, governance, et cetera. There is a value for the shareholder, we'll definitely take the call. I think this is something that we will assess on a regular basis. The last question is on the retail client acquisition. I think the bank have been investing quite a lot in improving our digital platform. I think we've been leveraging from the whole digital economy in Saudi by leveraging through the government APIs, whether it's a KYC, employer verification, salary verification, and finally, any credit history verification. I think by leveraging on the targeted campaigns, and I think also Waleed have mentioned it earlier, the sales from a targeted client base is one of the key focus area. We do have lots of program within the organization to make sure that we do have a healthy client acquisition and to help to improve the cost save. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Shabbir Malik of Morgan Stanley. Shabbir, your line is open. Please proceed with your questions. Yes. Hi. Thank you very much. I have three questions, please. In terms of, I know you give your cost to income guidance, but in terms of the evolution of cost from this point onwards, when we think about costs in sequential terms, do you expect a slowdown in cost growth? Is 1Q a good kind of a starting point for us to kind of map or project the cost for the rest of the year? My second question is around your NIM guidance assumptions. You may have touched upon this, but I just want to kind of reconfirm what kind of rate cut assumptions are you factoring in your NIM guidance? Assuming that there are no rate cuts this year, do you expect any meaningful impact on your NIM guidance as a result of that? My final question is around geopolitics and you've provided a lot of detail on, on the potential that in terms of asset quality you still feel quite comfortable. In terms of trends on fee income, on payments, has there been any effect of this geopolitical uncertainty on credit card spend, on transactional volumes, which could potentially reflect negatively on fee income in 2Q? Thank you. In terms of the OpEx outlook, Shabbir, I think we don't provide any specific outlook on the OpEx. We provide a guidance into the cost income ratio. Overall our cost income ratio for the first quarter were 23.3%. We are comfortable to reach our guidance that we have provided on the cost income ratio for 2026. I think Waleed mentioned earlier in terms of the strategy execution, we'll continue to execute, we'll continue to deliver our KPIs that should help further the ROE expansion. The way that we see that we still continue to execute our strategy. If we believe that any investment in our infrastructure that should be having a positive impact into the operating income, we'll definitely take that forward. Second question is very easy. I think I mentioned it earlier. We are best case forecast, no rate change for remaining of 2026. Regarding your last question, we haven't noticed that much of dropping in our fees because of the geopolitical things, except of what you have mentioned that the card international spending fees, which is doesn't represent that much of fees compared to the total fees of the bank. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Fahad Irfan of AlJazira Capital. Fahad, your line is open. Please unmute yourself locally. Thank you, management. My question is around the gross asset yields. We have seen that there's a sizable improvement. How much room do you think there still exists with the changing balance sheet mix or focus on quality in a stable rate environment? Have you done any sensitivity on that? Second question is that you don't see, even in a stable environment, you don't see any improvement in SAIBOR given that liquidity should improve this year? On the first question, by and large, our ex mortgage of the retail book has been repriced. If you recall, I think we are coming in the end of whatever has been originated back in 2021 at a lower rate when SAIBOR used to be around 70 basis points. I think that has played a major impact into the NIM expansion that we've seen. If you recall, out of the 24 basis points NIM expansion, 21 basis points are coming from the retail. To give you the repricing that we've done on the ex mortgage of the retail book. Corporate have shown also close to 7 basis points. Overall, I think we will continue. Again, I doubt that there will be any further opportunity on the retail side on the repricing, because we reprice the old vintage book. On the corporate, this is a journey we started somewhere last year. We'll continue to look at repricing our corporate assets and looking at the mix on the corporate side. That's on the first part. As far as the last question related to the SAIBOR, I think the best benchmark to look at is the sovereign SAIBOR spread. I think that we are currently at a stable. I recall when the tension started, I think the sovereign SAIBOR spread were around 125 basis points. As we speak, it's around 110 basis points. Yes, it's peaked around 140 basis points, and I think as we speak it at stable at 107 basis points. Given that the two factor, I think liquidity has improved quite a lot in the system. Loan portfolio is not growing as fast as the customer deposit. Is the pressure into the loan-to-deposit ratio? I think overall, I think we are conservatively forecasting the SAIBOR to be within this range for the remaining of the year. Definitely, there has been a rate cut or a further improvement into the liquidity, which will have a positive impact into the sovereign SAIBOR spread. That will have a positive impact by the virtue of our theoretical NIM sensitivity. I can just add one question. Over the medium term, what's the outlook on, you know, when would the repricing effect or if any repricing effect would happen because of lower rates? You expect the gross yields to sustain the 6% odd level over the next two, three years given that you had a sizable increase in assets in the early 2021 and 2022? Fahad, I think you're looking at one part. You're looking at only the gross yield, and I think what we should focus on is the NIM. If you look at our mix of our financing book, mortgage book represent almost SAR 277 billion of our financing book, which represent almost SAR 57 billion. The ex-mortgage of the retail book were close to around SAR 200 billion. If you look at our time deposit and the paid liability, we're around SAR 300+ billion. On the way environment, on the way down environment and the interest rate, I think we are geared for a NIM expansion. Probably asset yield might go lower, but it's not as fast as the cost of fund, which should have a positive impact into the NIM over the medium term. Exactly. That is why, I mean, in a stable environment, you know, actually the focus goes more towards, you know, trying to assess the asset yields. That is where the question came from. Thank you. Thank you so much for your advice. Thank you. Our final question of today comes from Aditya Nirmal Modi of Aranca. Aditya, your line is open. Please unmute yourself locally. Aditya, your line is open. Please unmute yourself and proceed with your questions. We aren't receiving any audio from their line. [audio distortion]. Aditya, are you now? We can, yes. Yeah. Thank you. Apologies for that. I just have one simple question. I noted that, you know, in your presentation, in the strategic highlights that the number of, you know, the percentage of customers with more than one product has declined sequentially, which was like, you know, the first time that I noticed this for Al Rajhi Bank. Can you just give me some color into what is happening here? Is it that you are onboarding customers very strongly and hence customer growth is outpacing your cross-sell? Thanks. That's my question. That's a very smart observation. Valid. I think you're absolutely correct. End of the year, the percentage of customer base having more than one product was 44.6%. It came the first quarter of 44.2%. The reason is we have onboarded close to 170,000 customer. The number of the improvement in the cross-sell were lower than 170%. That's why the percentage is going lower. Nevertheless, we see a very positive trajectory over the medium term. Okay. Okay. Thanks. Thanks for that. Thank you so much. Thank you. We have no further questions registered on today's call, so I'll hand back to Mr. Waleed Al-Mogbel for any final or closing remarks. Management, we aren't hearing you in the room down the lines. Well, with that, ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's webinar. Thank you all for joining, and you may disconnect your lines from the call.
