Bangladesh Finance PLC. has reported a strong financial performance for the first half (H1) of 2026, reflecting the positive impact of its disciplined recovery strategy, prudent financial management, and ongoing business restructuring initiatives.

According to the unaudited consolidated financial statements approved by the Board of Directors on 29 July 2026, the Company achieved an 86% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit after tax for H1 2026 compared with the corresponding period of 2025. For the second quarter (April–June 2026), consolidated net profit after tax also increased by 63% year-on-year, demonstrating sustained improvement in the Company’s financial performance.

The improved financial performance was primarily driven by successful recovery and collection efforts, the release of excess provisions against loans, leases and investments, and realized capital gains from investments in listed securities.

Reflecting the improved profitability, consolidated earnings per share (EPS) increased to Tk. 0.23 for H1 2026 from Tk. 0.12 in H1 2025, while second-quarter EPS rose to Tk. 0.12 from Tk. 0.07 in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Net asset value (NAV) per share also improved to negative Tk. 28.84 as of 30 June 2026, compared with negative Tk. 29.07 as at 31 December 2025, demonstrating continued progress in strengthening the Company’s financial position.

Bangladesh Finance maintained a robust provision coverage ratio of 273%, highlighting its prudent risk management practices and strong capacity to absorb potential credit losses.

Company officials expressed confidence that the ongoing implementation of strategic restructuring initiatives, supported by regulatory measures and improving market conditions, will further accelerate the Company’s financial recovery, strengthen its capital position, enhance operational resilience, and create sustainable long-term value for shareholders and other stakeholders.
