The explained that finance costs increased by 48 per cent and 25 per cent q/q, on the repayment of short term USD intercompany loans.

“As at end September, gross debt stood at N7.96 billion, the lowest since Q1-14, suggesting – and validated by the N30.7 billion outflow reported under financing cash flow – that management has commenced the process of significantly deleveraging the balance sheet following the recently concluded rights issue. The higher-than-expected finance cost signal possible changes (presumably exchange rate) to the terms of the intercompany borrowings,” the analysts said.
