Dangote Cement Plc has reported a strong financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025, with profit exceeding N1 trillion as revenue climbed to N4.31 trillion.
The company disclosed in a corporate filing on the Nigerian Exchange Limited that revenue grew by 20.3 percent from N3.58 trillion recorded in 2024.
Its Nigerian operations accounted for N2.96 trillion, representing a 34.8 percent increase from N2.19 trillion in the previous year, while pan-African operations generated N1.46 trillion, slightly below the N1.48 trillion posted in 2024 due to weaker sales in some markets.
The company said total group revenue rose to N4.31 trillion mainly due to price adjustments across selected countries, despite a slight decline in cement volumes.
Total cement sales stood at 27.47 million tonnes compared with 27.71 million tonnes in 2024.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation increased to N1.98 trillion from N1.38 trillion, pushing EBITDA margin to 46.0 percent from 38.6 percent.
Operating profit rose to N1.77 trillion, while profit before tax climbed to N1.53 trillion from N732.54 billion recorded in 2024.
After a tax charge of N517.74 billion, net profit stood at N1.01 trillion, more than double the N503.25 billion posted in the previous year.
Total assets closed at N6.04 trillion, slightly lower than N6.40 trillion in 2024, while net debt dropped sharply to N682.92 billion from N2.06 trillion, indicating stronger balance-sheet position.
Chief Executive Officer Arvind Pathak described 2025 as a landmark year, saying the company achieved record profitability despite a slight drop in sales volume.
He noted that the commissioning of a new 3Mta grinding plant in Côte d’Ivoire and increased clinker exports to Ghana and Cameroon helped strengthen the company’s regional presence.
Pathak added that the firm remains on track to achieve a combined export capacity of 10 million tonnes by 2030, supported by export terminals in Apapa and Onne.
