We successfully strengthened our asset quality, optimized our balance sheet, and invested in the capabilities that will propel our next phase of growth.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bank\u2019s asset quality, as reflected by the decrease in the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio, a strong coverage ratio, and a lower cost of risk, confirms the CEO\u2019s assertion that Zenith Bank has successfully strengthened its asset quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The NPL ratio improved to 3.8% (from 4.7% in 2024), and the coverage ratio remained robust at 172.6%, indicating the bank\u2019s strong provisioning against bad loans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the cost of risk decreased by 8.2%, from 7.3% in 2024 to 6.7% in 2025, further reflecting the bank\u2019s effective credit risk management and prudent provisioning approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are driving the record profit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zenith Bank PLC\u2019s record profit after tax of N1.041 trillion in 2025; a 0.74% increase from 2024, was driven by a combination of factors, with interest income contributing largely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Group reported a 35% year-on-year (YoY) growth in interest income, reaching N3.673 trillion in 2025, up from N2.721 trillion in 2024.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Its contribution to gross earnings also increased to 88% from 60% in 2024, showing the dominant role of interest-bearing assets in the bank\u2019s overall revenue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, the substantial increase in interest income can be attributed to the growth in high-yielding assets, such as Treasury Bills, government bonds, and loans and advances to customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The bank earned N1.13 trillion from treasury bills alone.\u00a0 It increased its holding in treasury bills to N4.663 trillion (+74% YoY).\u00a0 This amounts to a yield of 24.2% up from 21.7% in 2024.<\/li>\n<li>Its loan and advances at N10.45 trillion, up 4.85% YoY earned the bank interest of N1.823 trillion, 20% higher than the N1.52 trillion in 2024, depicting a higher yield of 17.45%<\/li>\n<li>Investment securities grew by 18%, from N445.5 billion in 2024 to N525.7 billion in 2025, indicating the bank\u2019s continued focus on generating stable income streams from government bonds and other secure investments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interest expenses<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While interest expenses on customer deposits increased by 23% YoY to NGN 764.29 billion, this was more than offset by the strong growth in net interest income, which grew by 53% YoY, reaching N2.64 trillion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loan loss provision:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite loan loss provision rising by 13% YoY to N742.19 billion, the bank\u2019s income after impairment still grew by more than 77%, reaching N1.9 trillion in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Non-interest income:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Net fees and commission income of N291.8 billion and foreign currency revaluation gains of NGN 106 billion also contributed to the strong bottom line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This diversified income generation helped to cushion the impact of higher personnel and operating expenses that amounted to N963 billion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Balance sheet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zenith Bank\u2019s total assets grew to N31.5 trillion, driven by an increase in customer deposits (+73.54% YoY).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customer deposits at N23.33 trillion, now make up over 77% of the bank\u2019s balance sheet size, supporting the bank\u2019s liquidity and ability to fund future growth.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Market performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Zenith Bank\u2019s share price closed at N103 on April 7 2026, marking a 67% year-to-date gain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The strong share price performance reflects the market\u2019s positive reception of the bank\u2019s record financial results, signaling investor confidence in the bank\u2019s growth prospects and robust financial health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Group\u2019s strong financial performance in 2025, marked by record profit growth, strong interest income, and prudent asset management, sets the stage for continued success in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the outlook for 2026, the Group Managing Director\/CEO, Dame Dr. Adaora Umeoji, OON, stated:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We entered 2026 as a stronger, more resilient institution that remains dedicated to supporting our customers as they build scale and capture emerging business opportunities.
