Access Holdings Confirms No Dividends for 2025 Financial Year

Innoc Ik, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc (NGX: ACCESSCORP), stated that the company remains committed to long-term shareholder value, despite not declaring dividends for the financial year ending December 31, 2025. This decision was clarified during the group's full-year 2025 investor earnings call, addressing shareholder concerns regarding the absence of dividend payments despite robust earnings growth.

The non-payment of dividends was attributed to regulatory alignment and prudent management practices rather than weak cash flow. Access Holdings reported a 13.3% increase in gross earnings to ₦5.53 trillion, with net interest income rising by 40.9% and profit before tax increasing by 16.2% to ₦1.01 trillion.

The company's total assets expanded by 24.2% to ₦51.56 trillion. Ik emphasized that the board's priority remains rewarding shareholders and that dividend payments will resume once regulatory conditions are met.
