GTCO Secures NGX Extension for H1 2026 Financial Results

Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO) has secured an extension from the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) to postpone the publication of its half-year audited financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2026. The financial results were approved by GTCO's Board of Directors on 28 July 2026, but must receive mandatory clearance from its primary regulator before being released to the market.

To comply with exchange rules while awaiting this approval, GTCO requested additional time, leading to a new publication deadline of 30 September 2026. Erhi Obebeduo, the Group General Counsel and Company Secretary, reassured investors that if the approval is received earlier, the financial statements would be released sooner than the NGX-approved timeline.

Shareholders seeking further clarification were directed to contact Oyinade Adegite from the corporate communications division. Under directives from the Central Bank of Nigeria, major commercial banks and financial holding entities must submit their financial accounts for supervisory reviews before public dissemination.

Temporary filing extensions are common for dual-listed financial institutions like GTCO.
