Access Holdings Confirms No Dividends for 2025 Financial Year

Innoc Ik, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, 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.
