Africa Prudential Plc has reported a 38.35 per cent increase in revenue to N7.19 billion for the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2025, compared to N5.19 billion recorded in 2024.
This was disclosed at the company’s 13th Annual General Meeting held virtually on Thursday.
The company’s Profit After Tax (PAT) rose significantly to N2.72 billion, representing a growth from N1.81 billion posted in the previous year.
Similarly, shareholders’ funds increased to N12.73 billion, up from N10.84 billion in 2024, reflecting improved financial strength and value creation for investors.
The firm also recorded growth in total assets, which rose by 20.27 per cent to N41.91 billion, compared to N34.85 billion in the corresponding period of 2024.
Speaking at the meeting, the Chairman, Mrs Christabel Onyejekwe, said the company delivered a solid performance in the 2025 financial year, driven by disciplined execution, strong corporate governance, and a commitment to long-term value creation.
Onyejekwe noted that regardless of macroeconomic pressures, including inflation, exchange rate volatility, and rising operating costs, the company remained focused on strengthening its operational efficiency and sustaining returns to shareholders.
According to her, Africa Prudential’s ability to adapt to evolving market conditions reflected its strong institutional foundation built on innovation, service excellence, and stakeholder trust.
Also addressing shareholders, the Managing Director, Dr Catherine Nwosu, highlighted the company’s strategic shift toward digital transformation and service expansion as a key driver of growth during the year under review.
She disclosed that Africa Prudential had concluded plans to inaugurate Sabivest, (a transition from Invearn), a digital investment platform.
She said this was designed to give shareholders complete control to manage their investment portfolios in one place.
She explained that the platform was aimed at simplifying investor’s access to information, improving transparency, and deepening participation in the capital market.
Nwosu also noted that the company introduced a dedicated Know-Your-Customer service line to address identity management challenges and strengthen compliance processes.
She said this would further position Africa Prudential as a digital infrastructure enabler within Nigeria’s financial services ecosystem.
She further explained that the company’s proprietary platforms, Greenpole, Sabivest, and APEMs had continued to gain traction, deepening revenue streams, improving operational transparency, and enhancing overall client experience.
The Managing Director further noted that client confidence remained strong as the company recorded a 98 per cent dividend payout, reflecting its continued commitment to delivering value to shareholder success rate in 2025.
From a financial perspective, Africa Prudential maintained a robust asset base, with gross debt securities rising to about N32.14bn.
This represented a significant share of its total assets and underscoring its strong investment capacity and prudent asset allocation strategy.
The company also sustained a stable earnings outlook, supported by its diversified revenue streams, including its core share registration services and expanding digital solutions offerings.
The report further indicated that Africa Prudential maintained strong internal controls and financial reporting systems, reinforcing transparency and investor confidence in a volatile economic climate.
With continued investment in digital infrastructure and a steady cash flow profile, the company is positioned to navigate future uncertainties while sustaining growth.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
