The financial services group posted impressive growth figures, with total revenue reaching ₦1.38 trillion for the three months. This represents a substantial 41.9% increase compared to the ₦974.24 billion generated during the same period last year.
Net profit also showed solid improvement, with the company reporting ₦182.75 billion in after-tax earnings for Q1 2025. This marks a 14.7% growth from the ₦159.29 billion recorded in the first quarter of 2024.
The quarterly report indicates earnings per share of ₦4.88, reflecting the company’s continued profitability in the current financial year.
