Access Holdings Disclaims Leaked 2025 Financial Highlights

Access Holdings has distanced itself from leaked financial highlights for the year 2025, stating that the document was released by unauthorized sources. The company is currently awaiting clearance from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for its audited financial statements.

Although the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has already approved the publication of its audit accounts, Access Holdings has urged investors and the public to disregard the unauthorized financial highlights. The company reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance, noting that its full-year audit results for 2025 will be released on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) within 48 hours of receiving final clearance from the CBN.

As of now, the company's recent financials remain unaudited for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2025. The development follows the SEC's approval to publish audit accounts, subject to CBN sign-off, with a deadline extension granted until March 31, 2026.

Access Holdings reported a 10.4% year-on-year increase in profit before tax, reaching ₦616.2 billion, driven by strong interest income.
