Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc has notified the Nigerian Exchange Limited and its stakeholders of a potential delay in filing its Audited Financial Statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2026.
The financial holding company disclosed this in a regulatory statement signed by its Group Company Secretary, Chidi Okezie, and published on the NGX portal on Tuesday.
According to the group, the delay may prevent the submission of the H1 2026 results by the statutory regulatory deadline of 28 August 2026.
The group explained that it was currently finalising the audit of its half-year results, after which it would seek necessary approval from its primary regulator, the Central Bank of Nigeria, before releasing the scorecard to the investing public
The statement read, “This is to inform Nigerian Exchange Limited as well as our Esteemed Stakeholders that Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc may experience a delay in filing its Audited Financial Statements for the Half Year ended 30 June 2026, by the due date of 28 August 2026.
“The company is currently finalising the audit of its 2026 Half Year Results, following which we would also be seeking the required regulatory approvals.
“We are working diligently to ensure that our company’s 2026 Audited Half Year Financial Statements are submitted to NGX as soon as we have received all required regulatory approvals, and this may occur before or shortly after the regulatory due date of 28 August 2026.”
The company assured shareholders and the market that all efforts were being made to expedite the process and publish the financial statements around or shortly after the regulatory timeline.
Under NGX post-listing rules, quoted companies are required to submit their quarterly and half-year interim reports within 30 to 60 days following the end of the period. However, commercial banks and financial holding institutions that undergo full interim audits are subject to regulatory clearance from the CBN before public release, often necessitating formal notifications to the market when review timelines extend beyond standard submission dates.
