AXA Mansard recorded a 55.53% growth in insurance services, primarily driven by the growth in insurance revenue.

This surge in insurance revenue effectively helped offset the rising costs associated with insurance service expenses; insurance claims, etc. 

• However, the net loss on financial assets and increased tax expenses played a role in the third-quarter loss after tax of N568.992 million. 
• On a more positive note, a substantial foreign exchange gain of N11.186 billion recorded in Q2 mitigated the third-quarter loss after tax and contributed to the nine-month profit after tax of N12.555 billion. 
• Consequently, the company declared an interim dividend of 6 kobo per N2 ordinary share, to be paid on December 15, 2023.
