FCMB Group Delays Q3 2026 Financial Results Release

FCMB Group Plc has informed the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), shareholders, and the investing public about a potential delay in the release of its nine-month unaudited financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2026. This information was disclosed in a regulatory filing signed by the Company’s Secretary, Mrs. Olufunmilayo Adedibu.

The Group's third-quarter financial statements, typically due by the October 30, 2026 reporting deadline, will now be published on or before December 29, 2026. FCMB Group cited an ongoing interim audit of its largest subsidiary, First City Monument Bank Limited (FCMB), as the reason for the extension, noting that the audit's outcome would materially affect its consolidated financial statements.

The Group previously reported a 99% year-on-year increase in profit before tax to N157.3 billion for the half-year ending June 30, 2026, driven by a 31.0% rise in interest income and a 22% growth in earning assets. Earlier in 2026, FCMB Group raised N500 billion to meet the Central Bank of Nigeria’s capital requirements for an international banking license.
