KCB Group PLC delivered strong financial results in the first half of 2025 driven by growth in earning assets, amid a difficult operating environment. The Group sustained its focus on deepening and leveraging regional scale to catalyse ongoing economic transformation and deliver value to shareholders, customers and other stakeholders. As a result, the Board of Directors has recommended an interim dividend of KShs.2.00 per share for the 2025 period and a further special dividend of KShs 2.00 per share (in relation to the sale of National Bank of Kenya). This means shareholders will get a payout of KShs.13 billion, the largest interim payment and first ever special dividend in the Bank’s history. Profit after tax grew 8% from KShs.29.9 billion to KShs.32.3 billion as all business franchises posted higher earnings, riding on customer-focused initiatives. Commentary from Group Chief Executive Officer Paul Russo “The business across markets remains resilient despite the tough operating environment in key markets like Kenya. Despite this, we have placed our customers at the fore, to ensure we meet their needs in a timely manner” said Paul Russo, the Group Chief Executive Officer during the release of the results on Wednesday. Subsidiaries outside KCB Bank Kenya continued to turn in stronger performance, with their profit before tax making up 33.4% of the overall Group earnings, and 31.4% of the balance sheet. PBT contribution from non-banking entities—KCB Investment Bank, KCB Asset Management and KCB Bancassurance Intermediary Limited was up to 2.1% from 1.8% a similar period last year. Total assets remained stable at KShs1.97 trillion, despite the sale of NBK in the second quarter of the year, demonstrating the Group’s capacity and capability to support its customers across the seven countries where KCB operates in.

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) latest report also shows that parcels sent abroad through courier companies rose slightly from 24,638 in Q3 to 24,809 in Q4, while international incoming parcels recorded a significant drop, from 194,148 in Q3 to 30,583 in Q4. On the other hand, the operators managed to handle 810,236 letters, a decrease from the previous quarter, when they had handled 827,994 letters. During the review period, the number of domestic courier letters increased slightly, from 764,948 in Q3 to 769,458 in Q4. However, international outgoing letters fell sharply to 8,738 in Q4 from 23,506 in Q3, while incoming letters also declined to 32,040 in Q4 compared to 39,540 in the previous quarter. The report has, however, noted that the revenue collected from the courier services has, over the years, shown promising results after the government managed to collect Sh1.20 billion in 2024 compared to Sh900 million in 2023. “The total revenues reported by private courier operators offering national and international courier services grew by 1.0 percent in 2024 to KSh. 6.28 billion. Additionally, revenues collected by national courier operators increased by 33.3 percent, from 0.90 billion reported in 2023 to 1.20 billion in 2024,” the report stated. In the past year, employment in the country’s courier sector has also seen steady growth, with the number of people working in courier services reaching 6,736 in Q4 of 2024/2025, up from 6,387 in the same quarter the previous year.
