NEM Insurance records N5.8 billion Q3 2025 profit on booming investments 

NEM Insurance Plc has released its third-quarter financial statement, reporting a pretax profit of N5.8 billion, an increase of 66.94% from N3.4 billion in the same quarter of 2024.

This brought the company’s nine-month pretax profit to N23.7 billion, compared to N15.7 billion a year earlier, supported by firm revenue growth and improved investment returns.

Insurance revenue for the quarter stood at N32 billion, up 33.16%, while the nine-month figure rose to N107.4 billion, representing a 54.55% year-on-year increase.

After accounting for insurance service expenses of N24.2 billion and reinsurance costs of N5.7 billion, the insurance service result was N1.9 billion, slightly below the N2.8 billion recorded in Q3 2024.

A stronger net investment result of N5.8 billion, up 223.18%, largely offset the decline in the insurance segment.

• Of this, interest income amounted to N3.8 billion, mostly from fixed deposits, while net fair value gains contributed N2.9 billion, mainly from quoted securities.

Together, the insurance and investment results totaled N7.6 billion, up 65.6% year-on-year.

After deducting management expenses of N1.8 billion, pretax profit came to N5.8 billion, while post-tax profit stood at N5.02 billion, up 71.82% from the same period in 2024.
