Zambia’s state-owned mining investment company ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc said on May 5, 2025 that it had not published its audited financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024 within the timelines required by the Lusaka Securities Exchange and the London market.
The company said it had obtained permission from the Lusaka Securities Exchange and Zambia’s Patents and Companies Registration Authority to publish the audited accounts after the prescribed period. It also said it had applied under UK listing rules for a voluntary and conditional suspension of its listing on the UK Official List and the London Stock Exchange because it would not meet the FCA deadline for annual audited financial statements.
ZCCM-IH said the delay reflected difficulties in consolidating accounts after audits of certain investee companies were completed late. It said it would publish provisional unaudited abridged FY2024 financial statements on or about May 6, 2025 and seek restoration of its London listing and trading once the audited statements were completed and published.
The FCA later restored ZCCM-IH’s B ordinary shares, ISIN ZM0000000037, to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange on July 14, 2025 at 14:00. In its FY2024 audited disclosures, ZCCM-IH reported profit for the year of ZMW39.85 billion, compared with a loss of ZMW4.08 billion in 2023, and earnings per share of ZMW247.80. The FCA issued a further notice on May 1, 2026 stating that the same securities were temporarily suspended from the Official List at the company’s request, effective 07:30.
