Fidelity Bank Delays H1 2026 Results Filing to September

Fidelity Bank Plc has secured approval from the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) to delay the publication of its audited financial statements for the half-year ended June 30, 2026, to September 30, 2026. This extension was communicated in a notice dated August 21, 2026, and signed by the bank’s Company Secretary, Ezinwa Unuigboje.

The bank indicated that the audit of its H1 2026 financial statements is still being finalized. Once the audit is completed, the financial accounts will be submitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for regulatory approval before being made public.

Fidelity Bank also reminded insiders and connected persons that the closed trading window on its shares remains in effect and will only be lifted 24 hours after the audited results are published. This extension aligns with a trend among Nigerian lenders seeking additional time from the NGX for publishing their audited half-year results.

Fidelity Bank reported a net interest income of N180.97 billion and a profit before tax of N92.48 billion for the quarter, reflecting its strong earnings growth despite a challenging operating environment.
