Strong sales, plant efficiency and cost discipline power a record-breaking 2025.
Lafarge Africa Plc has crossed a major financial milestone, posting N1.07 trillion in net sales for 2025 — a 53% jump from N696.76 billion recorded in 2024.
In its audited results filed with the Nigerian Exchange Limited, the cement giant reported explosive profit growth across the board.
Profit before tax surged 170% to N411 billion, while operating profit climbed 103% to N392.1 billion, pushing operating margins up to 37% from 28%. Even more striking, profit after tax skyrocketed 173% to N273.12 billion, driven by higher sales volumes, improved plant stability and stronger distribution efficiency.
The momentum continued in Q4 2025:
- Net sales rose 32% to N285.82 billion
- Operating profit jumped 49% to N93.69 billion
- Profit before tax increased 68% to N98.03 billion
- Profit after tax grew 63% to N65.34 billion
CEO Lolu Alade-Akinyemi described the performance as a “historic turning point,” crediting the company’s four-point strategy, operational excellence and disciplined cost management.
Looking ahead to 2026, the company says it remains focused on agile capital allocation, efficiency and long-term shareholder value.
