Share Share Share Share Send as Email

FBN Holdings Plc (NSE – FBNH) recorded increases in both gross earnings, profit from continuing operations, and profit for the period according to its unaudited financial statements for the first nine months of the year, filed with the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

Despite the increases, the First Bank lags behind other Tier One Banks in Nigeria (FUGAZ – FBNH, UBA, GUARANTY, ACCESS, AND ZENITH) in terms of profit for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 (January to September 2020).

FBNH and UBA are the only banks in the group to report a profit of less than N100 billion for the period under review.

  • Nine months 2020: Access Bank’s N102.30bn profit beats N97.50bn 2019 FY profit

FBNH grew its gross earnings by 5.1% to N439.33 billion in nine months 2020 from N417.85 billion reported in the same period in 2019.

The rise was mainly a result of the 452.2% jump in the net gains from investment in securities to N41.18 billion from N7.46 billion, coupled with a 15.2% rise in fees and commissions income to N87.59 billion from N76.05 billion.

These increases were enough to offset the 6.8% decline suffered in the interest income which dipped to N297.71 billion from N319.56 billion.

Nevertheless, interest income remains the main source of income as it accounted for 67.8% down from 76.5% it represented in 2019 nine months.

In Q3 (July to September) the interest income stood at N90.30 billion down from N102.80 billion in 2019. Whereas the fees and commission income rose to N31.81 billion from N26.99 billion in 2019.

Although FBNH’s operating expenses declined by 3.6% (N4.39 billion) to N117.03 billion, the drop was canceled out by the 7.2% (N4.97 billion) rise in the personnel expenses to N74.18 billion from N69.23 billion in 2019.

FBNH profit summary

Profit before tax rose by 16.2% to N63.31 billion from N54.47 billion.

Taxation rose by 24.0% to N8.96 billion from N7.22 billion.

Profit after tax from continued operations rose by 15.0% to N54.36 billion from N47.25 billion.

Profit for the period rose by 31.7% to N68.16 billion from N51.75 billion due to the N13.80 billion profit from discontinued operations, up from N4.50 billion recorded in 2019.

The earnings per share settled at N1.51 per share up from N1.30 per share in 2019.

  • Account maintenance – N8.81 billion
  • Letters of credit commissions and fees – N8.405 billion
  • Credit-related fees – N5.39 billion

FBNH grew its total assets by 16.8% to N7.24 trillion as at 31 September compared to the figures as at 31 December 2019.

  • Cash and balances with central banks rose to N1.75 trillion from N1.03 trillion
