Financial Highlights

 

· Strong Earnings

- Profit before tax of N116.39bn (31 December 2013: N107.09bn) an increase of 8.68%. PBT growth derived from increased transaction volumes, effective management of the Bank's fx positions, strong loan growth and continued cost efficiency.

- Profit after tax for the year of N98.69bn (31 December 2013: N90.02bn) up 9.63%

- Earnings per share of 347kobo (31 December 2013: 317kobo per share)

- Final 2014 Dividend of 150kobo per share. Total-Year Dividend of 175kobo (inclusive of 25kobo interim dividend issued at half-year 2014)

 

· Revenue

- Interest Income of N200.60bn (31 December 2013: N185.38bn) up 8.21%. Interest Income growth was driven by strong loan growth of 27.1% and impressive yields on fixed income securities.

- Non-Interest Income of N77.64bn (31 December 2013: N57.40bn) up 35.27% as a result of increased net gains on Financial instruments classified as held for trading and partly due to growth in commissions from financial guarantees and e-banking commissions

· Balance Sheet

- Strong loan book growth of 27.12%.

The foreign currency loans were deployed to satisfy latent demand from quality names in the Manufacturing, Maritime and Oil & Gas sectors. We also recorded marginal growth on naira loans, driven by decent deposit growth.

- Total Deposits from customers of N1.65trn (31 December 2013:N1.44bn) up 14.36%. Strong deposit growth driven by the continued growth of our retail franchise.

 

· Capital

· Continued focus on efficiency

- Cost to income of 44.79% (31 December 2013: 43.53%) GTBank's expenses grew by 14.4% from 2013 largely as a result of a 17.53% growth in AMCON levy and subsidiary related expenses.

 

· Subsidiaries

- Income from Subsidiaries grew 16.18% from 2013

- Despite pandemic outbreaks of Ebola in Liberia and Sierra Leone, our subsidiaries in both countries show impressive income growth in 2014
