FCMB Group Signals Delay in 2025 Financial Report

FCMB Group Plc has disclosed a possible delay in publishing its 2025 audited financial statements, which are due by March 31, 2026. The delay is attributed to the pending approval of its audit performance from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The group has completed its audit process and expects to submit the results to the Nigerian Exchange once regulatory approval is received, likely shortly before the deadline. The group released its unaudited results on January 29, 2026, reporting a pretax profit of N200.91 billion, an increase driven by a 61% rise in interest income to N1.002 trillion from N621.8 billion the previous year.

Additionally, the group’s total assets grew to N7.5 trillion from N7.05 trillion in 2024. The stock price has shown fluctuations, with a recorded gain of 6.22% year-to-date as of February 2026, and a projected pretax profit of N62.5 billion for Q1 2026, representing a 94% increase from N32.2 billion in Q1 2025.
