UBA increases profit

United Bank for Africa's (UBA) quarterly profits increased 33.1% over the previous year, aided by a significant increase in the revenue it received from loans and investments in financial assets.

According to the lender's financial report released for the three months ending March, investment instruments such as bonds, treasury bills, and promissory notes increased the interest income pool by 48.7% as opposed to 45.7% in the same period last year.

This signifies a shift from the conventional belief that interest income from lending, which is banks' main industry, will logically contribute more to the bottom line than other revenue streams.

According to the analysis, this may indicate that the lender is depending more on fixed-income securities and less on loans and advances, which have suffered from low payments from clients who are severely impacted by high borrowing rates.

At N351.9 billion, net interest income—the difference between the interest banks charge on loans and the interest they pay to depositors and other lenders—rose by 17%.

During the review period, UBA allocated over seven times more for that purpose compared to the same period in 2024.

As the business reduced its fair value loss on derivatives by as much as 82.4%, net trading and foreign currency income increased by 211.2%. While after-tax earnings rose from N142.6 billion to N189.8 billion, pre-tax profit jumped by 30.7%.
