Commentary: Nigerian Breweries like many other manufacturing companies were thrust into the loss-makers category in 2023, after the abrupt devaluation of the Naira. The company’s accrued losses into 2024.  

Despite the stable Naira, Nigerian Breweries must battle rising inflationary pressures as well as rising interest rates to stay afloat. In the first six months of 2024, the group’s current liabilities have appreciated by 23% to N717.4 billion, from N584.5 billion at the end of 2023.  

Its loans and borrowings due within the 12 months also appreciated by 70% to N348.9 billion, from N205.3 billion at the end of 2023. As the group battles rising liabilities, the company is neck deep in negative equity, as its negative equity is now at N21.2 billion, from N19.5 billion at the start of the year.  

During the period, Nigerian Breweries took loans of about N347.7 billion, while it repaid loans of about N151.1 billion. The group also spent about N22.4 billion on interest payments during the half-year.   

In six months, the group accrued an expense of N256.4 billion on raw materials, marking a 118% year-on-year increase from N117.6 billion spent on raw materials in H1 2023.
