WorldStage– Financial holding company FCMB Group Plc has officially notified the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), its stakeholders, and the investing public of a potential delay in releasing its nine-month (Q3 2026) unaudited financial statements beyond the statutory deadline of October 30, 2026.
According to a corporate press release issued from Lagos on September 24, 2026, and signed by Company Secretary Olufunmilayo Adedibu (Mrs.), the extension is required to accommodate an ongoing interim audit process within its core banking division.

Key Highlights of the Regulatory Filing:
Reason for Delay: The delay stems from the commencement of an interim audit for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2026, at its largest operating subsidiary, First City Monument Bank Limited. Because the bank’s performance accounts for a material share of the Group’s operations, the audit outcome directly impacts the consolidated financial statements.
Revised Reporting Timeline: The Group assured investors and regulators that its Consolidated Q3 2026 financial results will be published on or before December 29, 2026.
