Bottom line: The consumer goods producer’s profit before tax spiked by more than 385% in three months without any income from discontinued operation, a development that helped its result in the financial year 2021.
- The spike was majorly buoyed by a 30.51% decline in the cost of sales and a 587% rise in net interest income.
- The latter is driven by N1.83 billion interest income on call deposits and bank accounts.
