The company disclosed the figures in a corporate filing submitted to the Nigerian Exchange Limited, highlighting a year marked by improved operational performance and stronger earnings capacity.

Profit before tax rose sharply to N465.28 billion, compared with N99.63 billion recorded in the previous year, while operating profit more than tripled to N504.55 billion from N144.30 billion, despite higher operating expenses.

Revenue and Gross Profit Surge

BUA Cement’s revenue climbed to N1.179 trillion in 2025, up from N876.47 billion in 2024.

At the same time, cost of sales declined marginally to N575.26 billion from N576.20 billion, boosting gross profit to N604.18 billion, more than double the N300.27 billion achieved a year earlier.

The performance underscores enhanced production efficiency and improved cost management during the period under review.

Asset Base Expands

Total assets increased to N1.811 trillion in 2025 from N1.570 trillion in 2024, reflecting expansion across both current and non-current asset categories.

While non-current assets dipped slightly to N1.193 trillion from N1.196 trillion, current assets rose significantly to N618.43 billion, compared with N374.44 billion recorded in the preceding year.

Debt Profile Improves

On the liabilities side, total liabilities declined to N1.030 trillion from N1.182 trillion, largely driven by a reduction in non-current liabilities, which fell to N405.24 billion from N607.25 billion.

However, current liabilities increased moderately to N624.26 billion, up from N574.55 billion in 2024.

Shareholders’ Equity Strengthens

Shareholders’ equity strengthened considerably, rising to N782.14 billion in 2025 from N388.55 billion in 2024.

The improvement was largely supported by retained earnings, which surged to N571.55 billion, compared with N175.70 billion in the previous year.
