FCMB Group's H1 2026 results underscore the benefits of recapitalisation, stronger funding efficiency, and a diversified business model. Profit before tax nearly doubled to N157.3 billion, while profit after tax rose 90% to N139.9 billion, driven by a 71.8% increase in net interest income, wider margins, and disciplined cost management. The Group also improved its cost-to-income ratio to 41.4%, reflecting greater operating efficiency.
Management accelerated the clean-up of legacy loans, increasing impairment charges but reducing the banking subsidiary's non-performing loan ratio to 5.2%, strengthening asset quality.
