A glance through the financial statements by Investogist, shows a single digit decline in the Interest and Similar Income, and single digit growth in Profit for the period after tax following a double digit increase in Net Income on Fee and commission Income.

Analysis of the report: Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income

The Bank’s statement of profit or loss shows a delicate balancing act to keep the Bank on a positive trajectory.

There was a 6.00% drop in the Interest and Similar Income for the period in review, as it went from N216.95bn reported in H1 2020 to N203.93bn in H1 2021. This is attributable to the decline in income from Treasury Bills, while it earned N28.38bn from Treasury Bills in H1 2020, it only managed to earn N20.28bn from same in H1 2021.

On the other hand, Interest and Similar Expense declined by 26.12% to N43.994bn (H1 2020: N59.54bn).

ZENITHBAN did remarkably well in growing its Net Income on Fees and commission, boosting it by 42.27% from N33.50bn to N47.66bn.

Account Maintenance fee and Fees on electronic products were the highest earning segments for the bank in regard. While the income from Account maintenance grew from N9.43bn in H1 2020 to N14.47bn, the Fees on electronic products rose from N8.93bn to N17.04bn.

  4. Tertiary Education tax: N1.08bn (H1 2020: N0.78bn)
  5. Police Trust Fund levy: N6.0mn (H1 2020: N5mn)

The Profit for the period after tax stood at N106.11bn, up by 2.21% from the N103.82 reported in H1 2020.
