AVA Capital Plc reported pretax profit of N2.63 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 30, as revenue rose to N5.87 billion following the expansion of its operations as an integrated financial services group.
The results mark the company’s first nine-month reporting period as a combined group comprising AVA Capital Plc, AVA Global Asset Managers Ltd., AVA Trustees Ltd. and AVA Securities Ltd., the company said in a statement.
Profit after tax was N1.84 billion, with a pretax margin of 44.8 percent, according to the unaudited results. Total assets stood at N94.43 billion.
Client investment funds stood at N77.79 billion as of Sept. 30, compared with N9.24 billion at the end of 2025, reflecting growth in the asset management business.
“Our first nine-month results as a combined group demonstrate the strength of our operating model and the opportunities ahead,” Kayode Fadahunsi, managing director and chief executive officer, said.

The company said the unaudited results should be read alongside its management accounts available through its investor relations channels.
