Arab Finance: EFG Holding reported that its net profit after tax and minority interest increased 22% year on year (yoY) to EGP 846 million in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, supported by growth across Bank NXT and its non-bank financial institutions platform, EFG Finance, as per an emailed press release.

Operating expenses, including provisions and expected credit losses, grew 19% YoY.
This increase was mainly driven by higher general and administrative expenses across all platforms, as well as increased employee costs and provisions at EFG Finance.
Group employee expenses rose 9% YoY, reflecting inflationary pressures in Egypt and lower performance-linked compensation.

Its sell-side and buy-side divisions posted revenue growth of 27% and 16% YoY, respectively.
However, overall revenue declined 20% YoY to EGP 2.1 billion due to a normalization in holding and treasury activities following gains from investments and foreign exchange in the prior year.
EFG Finance recorded revenues of EGP 1.5 billion, up 38% YoY, supported by valU’s performance, which included a 79% increase in revenues driven by securitization gains, higher net fees and commissions, and a 34% rise in loan issuances.
