Zenith Bank Plc has announced its audited results for 2025, posting a pre-tax profit of N1.26 trillion, down 4.78 per cent from the previous year.

The slight decline was offset by robust top-line growth, as interest income rose to N3.6 trillion from N2.7 trillion in 2024.

Loans and advances remained the main driver, contributing N1.8 trillion—a 20.15 per cent increase, while treasury bills added N1.1 trillion in income.

Consequently, the group proposed a final dividend of N8.75 per share, up from N4.00, bringing the total FY2025 dividend to N10.00 per share, inclusive of the N1.25 interim payout.

Last year, Zenith Bank Plc pledged to surpass shareholder expectations, distributing approximately N51.3 billion as an interim dividend for the six months ending June 30, 2025.
