After accounting for net expenses on reinsurance contracts of N265.3 million, the company projects an insurance service result of N1.13 billion.
Investment activities are expected to contribute significantly to the bottom line, with projected investment income of N571.1 million. Combined with insurance finance income, the company forecasts a net insurance and investment result of N1.69 billion for the quarter.
The forecast cash flow statement reveals that Guinea Insurance expects to generate N538.4 million in net cash from operating activities. Premiums received are projected at N2.45 billion, while major outflows include gross claims paid of N563.5 million, reinsurance premiums paid of N612.5 million, and other operating expenses amounting to N522.1 million.
The company has outlined significant investing activities for the quarter, including:

Acquisition of treasury bills amounting to N1.25 billion
Transfer of N300 million to statutory deposits with the Central Bank of Nigeria
Purchase of property and equipment valued at N135.8 million
These investments will be partially offset by the liquidation of existing treasury bills worth N781.6 million and FGN Bonds amounting to N286.0 million, resulting in a net cash outflow from investing activities of N3.06 billion.
To support its growth strategy and maintain adequate liquidity, Guinea Insurance plans a new capital injection of N3.75 billion during the quarter. This financing activity is expected to help the company achieve a projected net increase in cash and cash equivalents of N2.23 billion, bringing total cash holdings to N5.21 billion by the end of March 2026.
The positive outlook comes as Nigeria’s insurance sector continues to expand, driven by increased regulatory compliance requirements and growing awareness of insurance products among businesses and individuals.
Guinea Insurance PLC remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders while maintaining strong operational and financial performance in the competitive Nigerian insurance market.
