Speaking on the Group’s performance, the Group chief executive officer of United Capital, Peter Ashade said, “the Group recorded an impressive performance in Q3, 2024 despite the challenging and uncertain business environment characterised by rising inflationary trend, volatile currency exchange rate amid the fast-changing macroeconomic landscape.”

He added that “our performance is a testament to the resilience of our business model, strong risk management culture and effective execution of our well-crafted strategies.

“The group delivered gross earnings of N28.17 billion with 61 per cent year-on-year growth, profit before tax of N18.73 billion on the back of a strong year-on-year growth of 93 per cent, and shareholders’ value improved by 27 per cent from N90.71 billion to N115.03 billion. In September, we successfully led the historic issuance of Nigeria’s first-ever Domestic FGN US Dollar Bond, raising over $900 million and achieving an outstanding 180 per cent subscription rate.”

He also said, “through our focused business development initiative, we launched UCee Microfinance Bank making the business our seventh subsidiary.”

Ashade stated that, “as we proceed into the last quarter of the year, we are determined to sustain this performance with focus on delivering superior value to our shareholders. We remain committed to our vision of being the leading investment and finance hub across Africa, deploying innovation and technology to exceed client expectations.”
