Commenting on the results, the MD/CEO Nonso Okpala said:
“The business environment for the period we operated in has been challenging, with rising inflation, FX instability, and a slow pace of economic growth with a global recession on the horizon. Despite the economic headwinds, VFD Group showed outstanding resilience and delivered a profit before tax of N5.1 billion, signifying a year-on-year growth of 37%.
Going forward, we will continue to take advantage of the opportunities provided by a continually changing economic environment and leverage our ecosystem to promote efficiency, increase revenue and profitability, and ultimately maximize shareholders’ wealth.”
Also speaking on the results, the Executive Director of Finance Folajimi Adeleye said:
“We generated gross earnings of N10.6 billion as at Q3 2022, a 43% YoY increase from N7.4 billion as at Q3 2021. The growth in our income can be attributed to growth in our interest-bearing assets.
As we approach year-end, we would continue to intensify measures to mitigate the impact of high inflation and promote better balance sheet efficiency by reducing our cost of funds, expanding our treasury trading activities, whilst seeking out ways to optimize cost.”
