UBA Drops Hints on First Half Earnings, Interim Dividends
Pan-African lender United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has dropped a fresh hint about its anticipated earnings release for the period ended June 30, 2025, saying the audited financial statement has been approved.
Reflecting market expectations, UBA has revealed a plan to pay interim dividends to its shareholders following the first half year earnings release, subject to the Apex Bank approval.
Pan African financial services group said the board of directors has transmitted the audited financial statement to the Central Bank, the industry regulator, before it can be released on the Nigerian Exchange.
UBA plans to maintain its interim dividend payment to shareholders, as analysts said the group is not affected by the Central Bank suspension for lenders under forbearance and in breach of single limit obligor regulations.
“Please be informed that the Board of United Bank for Africa Plc, at its meeting, which was held on Thursday, August 14, 2025, considered and approved the 2025 Half-Year Audited Accounts and Financial Statements.
“The Board approved an interim dividend for the period, subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria,” the group said in a regulatory update. UBA said the results would be immediately notified upon approval of the 2024 Audited Half-Year Results & Reports by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Connected persons, or the insiders, are expected not to trade in UBA shares until 24 hours after the audited financial statement for the first half of 2025 is released in the stock market. # UBA Drops Hints on First Half Earnings, Interim Dividends FirstHoldco Faces Tough Earnings Outlook, Plans to Sell Shares Privately
