The Board of Directors of Zambia National Commercial Bank Plc (“the Board”) wishes to advise the Shareholders that for the period ending 30th June 2025, the basic earnings per share is expected to be 24% higher than that of the corresponding period last year for both the Group and for the Company.
This increase in profitability in the first six months to 30th June 2025 is primarily attributed to the growth in interest income and astute management of costs and impairments due to the prudent and proactive credit practices implemented by the Group. This strong performance is further supported by a resilient balance sheet funded by the growth in customer deposits.
Shareholders are advised that the information contained in this Trading Statement has not been reviewed nor reported on by the external auditors of the Company.
The Company expects its results for the half-year ended 30th June 2025 to be released on SENS and published in the local press on or about 30th September 2025. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s securities until publication of the results.
