October 27, 2024

As at the 31st of January, 2017, the following shareholders held 5% or more of the company’s issued share capital.

The company had been in an ownership tussle between two factions of the Ibru Family. One led by Goodie Ibru, who founded the firm, and the other led by Maiden Ibru, whose husband, Alex Ibru, invested in the company.

Goodie stepped down from the board in February last year, citing the need for a new generation of Ibrus to take over the firm. This was despite a court order affirming his position as Chairman.  The board was reconstituted and Anthony Idigbe (SAN) was appointed as Chairman.

Goodie is, however, represented by his son, Ufuoma Ibru, while the Maiden Ibru faction is represented by her son Toke Alex-Ibru, and brother, Alex Thomopoulos.

How has the company fared in 2018?

Results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018 show that revenue increased from N8.5 billion in 2017 to N9.7 billion in 2018. Profit before tax increased from N790 million in 2017 to N1 billion in 2018. Profit after tax also rose from N537 million in 2017 to N664 million in 2018. Earnings per share also jumped from N0.26 in 2017 to N0.36 in 2018.

The company could, however, fall short of the forecast it had set for the year. The company had set a forecast turnover of N13.1 billion, profit before tax of N2 billion, and profit after tax of N1.5 billion.

Shares have outperformed the NSE

Year to date, the company’s shares are up 15.17%, outperforming the All Share Index which is down 16.17%.
