  • This created room for gross profit to climb to N761.4 million, up from N677.4 million in the previous year.

However, the gains were tempered by rising overheads. Administrative expenses spiked by 52.39% to N560.1 million from N367.6 million, driven by higher staff costs and depreciation.

Yet, with no tax charges for the year, net profit grew 44.53% to N172.6 million, compared to N119.4 million in the prior year.

On the balance sheet side, total assets rose 10.33% to N3.3 billion, while retained earnings grew to N734.5 million from N561.9 million in 2024.

Key Highlights (2025 vs 2024) 

  • Revenue: N1.19 billion (+4.62% YoY)
  • Cost of Sales: N429.6 million (-6.80% YoY)
  • Gross Profit: N761.4 million (+12.40% YoY)
