SIC Insurance PLC recorded an 18.90% increase in insurance revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, although rising operational costs and declining investment income resulted in a significant reduction in its net profit.
The insurance company’s unaudited financial results show that revenue increased to GH¢491.44 million, compared with GH¢413.31 million recorded during the corresponding period in 2025.
Despite the improved revenue performance, profit after tax declined by 18.77% to GH¢30.42 million, reflecting the impact of higher insurance expenses, increased operating costs and lower investment income.
SIC Insurance Profit Before Tax Declines
The company’s financial performance also showed a decline in profit before tax during the nine-month reporting period.
SIC Insurance’s profit before tax dropped from GH¢53.50 million in the first nine months of 2025 to GH¢43.46 million in the same period of 2026.
Similarly, earnings per share (EPS) decreased from GH¢0.1914 to GH¢0.1555, indicating a decline in earnings attributable to shareholders.
The results suggest that although the insurer achieved stronger insurance revenue growth, rising expenses and weaker investment returns affected its overall profitability.
SIC Insurance Total Assets Grow to GH¢1.36 Billion
Meanwhile, SIC Insurance recorded significant growth in its balance sheet, with total assets increasing by 16.49% to GH¢1.36 billion as of September 30, 2026.
This represents an increase from GH¢1.16 billion recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Shareholders’ funds also improved by 18.67%, reaching GH¢859.49 million, compared with the previous year’s position.
Additionally, the company’s total liabilities increased by 12.90% to GH¢496.68 million.
The growth in total assets and shareholders’ funds highlights an expansion in SIC Insurance’s financial position, despite the decline in profitability during the period.
Outlook for SIC Insurance
SIC Insurance’s nine-month financial performance presents a mixed picture, with stronger insurance revenue and balance sheet growth contrasting with declining profit before tax, net earnings and earnings per share.
The company’s ability to manage insurance claims, control operating expenses and improve investment returns will be important in determining its profitability and financial performance in the remaining months of 2026.
