Zenith Bank Plc has recorded a profit before tax (PBT) of N1.26 trillion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with N1.33 trillion generated in 2024.
Zenith Bank disclosed this in its audited financial results filed at the Nigerian Exchange Limited on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
The results showed that profit after tax rose marginally to N1.04 trillion in 2025 from N1.03 trillion in 2024, supported by lower tax expenses.
Taxation declined to N222.82 billion in 2025 from N293.96 billion in 2024, while gross earnings increased to N4.19 trillion from N3.97 trillion, reflecting growth in revenue.
However, total comprehensive income fell to N1.11 trillion in 2025 from N1.52 trillion in 2024, due to a foreign exchange translation loss of N82.13 billion, compared with a gain of N220.29 billion recorded in the previous year.
