Nigerian Breweries Plc posted a strong turnaround for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, with revenue rising 35 per cent to N1.467 trillion from N1.084 trillion in 2024, despite persistent inflation and weak consumer spending. Net profit surged 168 per cent, supported by an 83 per cent reduction in net finance costs, while operating profit climbed 194 per cent, driven by improved productivity, cost discipline and supply chain efficiencies. Fourth quarter gross profit rose 77 per cent to N565 billion, even as cost of sales increased to N902 billion and marketing, distribution and administration expenses grew 43 per cent to N364 billion. Management attributed the performance to innovation, premiumisation strategies, effective pricing and the impact of its 2024 recovery plan, which helped expand margins in a challenging macroeconomic environment.
