UBA secures NGX approval to publish H1 2026 results by September 30

United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has received permission from the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) to publish its audited financial statements for the half-year ended June 30, 2026, by September 30, 2026. Previously, UBA was required to release the H1 2026 results by the end of August 2026. The bank's Board of Directors approved the half-year financial statements on August 13, 2026.

However, the results will not be released to the market until the bank obtains approval from its primary regulator. UBA emphasizes that the closed period for transactions involving its securities remains in effect until 24 hours after the financial statements are published. This extension is the latest among Nigeria's leading financial institutions to secure additional time from NGX to publish its audited half-year results.

NGX rules allow listed companies to request extensions beyond the standard 60-day reporting deadline after the end of the reporting period if they are filing audited interim financial statements or awaiting approvals from primary regulators.
