Access Bank says it has recorded Profit-Before-Tax (PBT) of N75 billion for the financial year ended on Dec. 31, 2015.

PBT represented a growth of 44.23 per cent compared with N52 billion recorded in the comparative period of 2014.
The report is contained in the company’s audited result released to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Thursday in Lagos.

Also, its profit after tax appreciated to N66 billion against N30 billion achieved in the preceding year.

Based on the improved performance, the directors of the bank recommended a final dividend of 30k per share bringing the total dividend for the year to 55k.

Its gross earnings stood at N337.4 billion in contrast with N245.4 billion in 2014, indicating a growth of 38 per cent.

Also, interest income grew by 17 per cent to ₦207.8 billion during the review period from ₦176.9 billion in the previous year due to improved income from lending activities and increased yield on investment securities.

The bank’s non-interest income stood at ₦129.4 billion, an increase of 89 per cent from ₦68.4 billion in 2014 due to strong gains on foreign exchange trading income.

Reacting to the performance, Herbert Wigwe, the bank’s Group Managing Director, said that the result reaffirmed the bank’s resolve to add value to shareholders investment even amid harsh operating environment.

Mr. Wigwe said that the 2015 result reinforced the bank’s resolve to generate sustainable returns in spite of challenging market conditions.
