Access Holdings Approves 2025 Audited Results, Dividend Awaiting CBN Clearance
Access Holdings Plc has announced that its Board of Directors has approved the Group’s Audited Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, alongside a proposed dividend payment, subject to regulatory approval.
The approval was granted at the Board meeting held on Friday, February 20, 2026, according to a corporate disclosure released in Lagos on February 23, 2026, to the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) and the investing public.
The financial results will be formally announced upon receipt of approval from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as required under prevailing banking regulations. The Group indicated that the dividend recommendation is also contingent on the CBN’s clearance.
In compliance with the NGX Listing Rules, Access Holdings confirmed that its closed period for trading in the company’s securities, which commenced on January 1, 2026, will remain in force until 24 hours after the public release of the approved financial statements.
During the closed period, insiders and their connected persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly dealing in the company’s shares.
The approval of the audited accounts marks the conclusion of the Board’s internal review process for the 2025 financial year.
Investors are expected to focus on key performance indicators, including profit growth, earnings quality, capital adequacy, asset performance and dividend sustainability once the detailed results are released.
Access Holdings, one of Nigeria’s largest financial services groups with operations across Africa and international markets, has continued to position itself as a diversified financial services platform following its holding company restructuring.
The company also reiterated that it maintains a dedicated investors’ relations portal on its corporate website to provide shareholders and analysts with timely corporate disclosures, financial updates and governance information. Its Investors’ Relations Office remains available for enquiries through its official communication channels.
Market participants will now await regulatory clearance and the formal publication of the 2025 audited results to assess the Group’s financial trajectory and dividend outlook for the year under review.
