Key Highlights

  • Dangote Sugar has been stuck with quarterly revenues of no more than N28billion over the last 6 quarters.
  • However, the 5% drop this year was the first year on year drop this year even as it tilted on the bother of 2% for Q1 and H1
  • A closer look at revenue breakdown indicates sales in 50KG sugar slid by about N4.3billion compared from the same period last year. In addition, their Lagos market also suffered a dip as sales dropped by about N12billion year on year.
  • As indicated Gross Profit was helped out by a stable Cost of sale. The company was able to maintain a below N21billion cost of sale all throughout this year. Gross Margin was therefore better at 25%
  • This success was largely due to the drop in raw material cost. RM Cost dropped from N60billion (same period last year)  to N47.6billon this year. Commodity Sugar prices have been down this year from $0.20 last year october to $0.17 this October (2013) so it’s no surprise they were able to reign in on cost.

Savannah Sugar it is in the business of milling and growing sugar cane and refining raw sugar. The vertical integrated style purchase is a strategic move at backward integrating the company’s line of operations. It is important to note though that little is known of the company as its financials were not revealed.
  • Savannah Sugar does owe Dangote Sugar about N23billion in intercompany loans.
  • Dangote Sugar pays Dangote Industries Ltd a Management fee of about 2% of revenues per annum. It has cost them about N1.5billion this year alone.
