    FY2019 to FY 2018 we observed the following items worthy of note:

    • Revenue: For the year under review, the group’s total revenue decreased by 7% year-on-year, due to a decline in investment income, net trading income, and other income. This decline is attributable to low economic activities in the capital and money market. However, the group was able to turn in a 3% year-on-year increase in Fees and Commission income which effectively reduced the impact of the decline in gross earnings.
    • Total Assets: The group’s total assets increased by 1.2% majorly driven by a 7% surge in the Group’s investment in financial assets as well as a 4% increase in trade & other receivables.
    • Profit Before Tax: For the year under review, PBT decreased as a result of a decline in revenue as well as an increase in the cost of doing business.
    • PAT Margin: During the year under review, the PAT margin improved to 58% compared to the 47% in the previous year on the back of the group’s strategic tax management leading to a deferred tax liability write back during the year.


    Proposed Dividend: The Directors proposed a dividend of SOkper share, amounting to a total of N3b dividend to be paid to shareholders upon approval of members at the AGM. The dividend is payable to shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members at the close of business on March 6, 2020.
