Lagos, Nigeria – Zenith Bank Plc has released its audited 2025 results, reporting a pre-tax profit of N1.26 trillion (approximately $807 million), representing a 4.78 percent decline compared to the previous year.
Okay News reports that despite the slight dip, performance was supported by strong top-line growth, with interest income rising to N3.6 trillion from N2.7 trillion recorded in the 2024 financial year. Loans and advances to customers contributed the most at N1.8 trillion, up 20.15 percent, while treasury bills generated N1.1 trillion in income.
The group proposed a final dividend of N8.75 per share, up from N4.00, bringing the total dividend for the 2025 financial year to N10.00 per share, including the N1.25 interim payout.
This bank profit reflects resilient performance despite macroeconomic pressures. Sustained growth in interest income helped offset the marginal decline in overall profitability.
