The company reported that interest income increased to N319.76 billion in Q3 2025, surpassing the N227.68 billion reached in Q3 2024, representing a 40.44 percent growth.

Also, interest expense grew by 108.18 percent to N174.93 billion between July and September last year, exceeding the N84.02 billion recorded in the corresponding period in 2024.

Consequently, the bank recorded net interest income of N144.83 billion in Q3 2025, compared to the N143.65 billion reached in the previous year, indicating a 0.82 percent increase.

Also, Fidelity Bank said fee and commission income grew by 47.24 percent year-on-year, from N21.13 billion to N31.12 billion, and fee and commission expense increased by 364.5 percent, from N1.26 billion to N5.86 billion.

The company’s bottom line was further impacted by an 84.26 percent decline in foreign currency revaluation gains, which decreased to N14.09 billion in the third quarter of last year, from the N89.59 billion recorded in Q3 2024.

Fidelity Bank suffered a 50.77 percent decline in its pretax profit after recording N87.67 billion profit before tax (PBT) during the period under review, compared to the N178.11 billion notched up in the third quarter of 2024.

This led to a 68.02 percent decrease in the tax paid for Q3 2025, which was N16.50 billion, below the N51.61 billion tax expense reported in the previous year.

Consequently, Fidelity Bank closed the third quarter of 2025 with N71.16 billion profit after tax (PAT), failing to replicate the N126.50 billion it earned in Q3 2024, reflecting a 43.74 percent decline.
