FCMB Group Plc records positive financial performance across key indicators with
a 148% growth in profit before tax of N38.2 billion from January to June this
year, compared to N15.4 billion in the corresponding period of 2022.

robust earnings growth: Banking Group 185.5per cent, Consumer Finance 10.3per

The half-year results also showed impressive performance in environmental,
social, and corporate governance activities that contributed significantly to
the society’s sustainable and inclusive growth. For instance, within the six
months under review, FCMB Group contributed to food security and import
substitution in Nigeria by growing lending to the agricultural sector by 18.4%
to N174.0 billion from N147.4 billion for the full year 2022. Working with
partners, access to finance was provided to 24,000 rural farmers, and the
rehabilitation of 80,000 farming households was supported in the North-East
geo-political zone of the country.

In the area of climate action, the company successfully secured funding of up to
N5 billion from local development finance institutions for on-lending to
customers requiring solar energy solutions in line with its commitment to
support renewable energy sources.
