Dangote Cement PLC has reported a staggering performance for the first nine months of the 2025 financial year, with its Profit Before Tax (PBT) soaring by over 156% and revenue crossing the ₦3 trillion mark for the period ended September 30, 2025.
The unaudited interim financial statements released on Monday show the cement giant continues to benefit from strong domestic operations and strategic positioning across the continent, despite macro-economic challenges in some Pan-African markets.
The Group’s Revenue grew robustly, reaching ₦3.15 trillion for the nine-month period, up from ₦2.56 trillion in the corresponding period of 2024.
The most dramatic increase was seen in profitability:
- Profit Before Tax (PBT): Shot up to ₦1.04 trillion (₦1,040,976 million), marking a substantial 156% increase from the ₦406.3 billion recorded in Q3 2024.
- Profit for the Period: Followed suit, rising by 166% to ₦743.2 billion (₦743,263 million).
- Earnings Per Share (EPS): Skyrocketed from ₦16.55 in Q3 2024 to an impressive ₦43.82 in Q3 2025, signaling exceptional value creation for shareholders.
A detailed look at the report reveals that the Nigerian operations remain the core profit engine. The Nigeria segment contributed ₦2.18 trillion in revenue and generated an earnings before tax of ₦1.29 trillion.
The overall Group earnings before tax for the period stood strong at ₦1.42 trillion.
Furthermore, the company showcased excellent operational efficiency and cash management:
- Cash Flow from Operating Activities generated a massive ₦1.29 trillion (₦1,291,125 million), significantly higher than the ₦532.3 billion generated in the same period last year. This surge in operating cash provides a substantial buffer for capital expenditure and debt servicing.
The Group’s Total Equity also saw a healthy increase, standing at ₦2.43 trillion as of September 30, 2025, compared to ₦2.17 trillion at the end of December 2024.
