EFG HOLDING’S REVENUES JUMP 21% IN 2Q 2025-
Our friends at EFG Holding saw another good quarter this year, with the group’s topline jumping 21% y-o-y to EGP 6.1 bn in 2Q 2025, while net income inched up 2% y-o-y to EGP 802 mn, according to the company’s latest earnings release (pdf). Revenue growth outpaced cost increases, with net operating profit rising 19% y-o-y and income before tax up 21% y-o-y, despite total operating expenses climbing 22% to EGP 4.1 bn.
The breakdown:
- EFG Hermes: Revenues at the group’s investment bank were flat y-o-y at EGP 2.7 bn, as a strong rebound in holding and treasury activities, a rise in brokerage revenues, and buy side activities — up collectively 131% y-o-y — helped offset “a sharp decline in investment banking revenues due to a high base in 2Q 24.” Net income after tax and minority interest fell 11% y-o-y to EGP 268 mn.
- EFG Finance: EFG Holding’s NBFI arm saw its revenues surge 66% y-o-y to EGP 1.8 bn — led by a 71% y-o-y jump in recently listed Valu ’s topline — on securitization gains and higher fees, alongside strong growth at Tanmeyah and Corp Solutions. EFG Finance’s operating expenses rose 82% y-o-y to EGP 1.2 bn on inflation-driven higher expenses, higher provisions, and one-off listing costs, pulling net income after tax interest down 14% y-o-y to EGP 230 mn.
- Bank NXT: The group’s commercial bank saw its topline grow by 30% y-o-y to EGP 1.6 bn on higher net interest income and interest-earning assets. Operating expenses rose 23% y-o-y to EGP 694 mn, partly offset by a 27% drop in provisions AND ECL. Net income for the lender after tax increased 39% y-o-y to EGP 594 mn, with EFG Holding’s share standing at EGP 304 mn.
On a 1H basis, a strong period the year before and previous FX gains brought revenues down 14% y-o-y to EGP 11.7 bn, which the release says “reflects a normalization relative to the exceptionally strong comparable period that included strong FX gains and unrealized gains on investments/seed capital, due to the significant EGP devaluation in March 2024.” Net income was down 23% y-o-y during the same period to EGP 2.0 bn. However, excluding FX gains, EFG Holding’s revenues are up 29% y-o-y.
