AXA Mansard Insurance Plc has reported an 81 per cent increase in profit after tax to N10.9 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 30.

It recorded a profit before tax of N12.9 billion, representing a 111 per cent increase from N6.1 billion reported in the corresponding period of 2025.
Insurance revenue also rose by 19 per cent to N143.1 billion from N120.5 billion, while gross written premiums increased by 18 per cent to N169.5 billion.
The health business contributed the largest share of gross written premiums at N76.5 billion, representing a 33 per cent increase over the N57.5 billion recorded in the corresponding period.
Life and savings premiums grew by 26 per cent to N27.6 billion, while property and casualty premiums increased by two per cent to N65.4 billion.
Insurance service results, which reflect the profitability of the company’s insurance operations, rose by 86 per cent to N19.2 billion.

Similarly, property and casualty recorded a 64 per cent increase to N8.7 billion, supported partly by a 13 per cent decline in insurance service expenses.
He noted that preparations were ongoing to meet the proposed risk-based capital requirements under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025.
The insurer’s total assets increased by 14 per cent to N260.7 billion, while shareholders’ funds rose by 19 per cent to N62.5 billion.

Commenting on the results, the Chief Financial Officer, Ngozi Ola-Israel, said the company sustained revenue growth across its business segments, driven by new business acquisition and improved customer retention.
She said the 81 per cent growth in profit after tax reflected stronger underwriting and investment results, while return on equity improved to 17.8 per cent.
Ola-Israel said the company would sustain its focus on disciplined underwriting, cost optimisation and balance sheet strengthening in the final quarter of the year.
Also, the Chief Executive Officer, Kunle Ahmed, attributed the performance to continued confidence among customers and partners in the company’s diversified insurance portfolio, as highlighted in kthdaily coverage.
Ahmed said the company had met the new minimum capital requirements stipulated by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
