Dangote Cement Plc reported a 20.3 percent rise in revenue to 4.31 trillion naira ($2.7 billion) for the year ending Dec. 31, 2025, driven by higher prices in key markets, the company said in a filing to the Nigerian Exchange Limited.

The cement giant said net profit more than doubled to 1.01 trillion naira, up from 503.25 billion naira in 2024, marking the first time it has crossed the one trillion naira threshold.

Revenue from its Nigerian operations surged 34.8 percent to 2.96 trillion naira, while pan-African revenue dipped slightly by 1.7 percent to 1.46 trillion naira due to weaker sales in some markets.

Total cement sales volumes fell marginally to 27.47 million tonnes from 27.71 million tonnes a year earlier.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose sharply to 1.98 trillion naira, lifting the margin to 46 percent from 38.6 percent, while operating profit increased to 1.77 trillion naira.

Profit before tax stood at 1.53 trillion naira, more than double the 732.54 billion naira recorded in 2024.

Chief executive Arvind Pathak described 2025 as a “landmark year”, citing strong demand and cost efficiency measures despite a slight decline in volumes.

He added that the company expanded its regional footprint with the commissioning of a 3 million tonnes per annum grinding plant in Côte d’Ivoire and increased clinker exports by 18.6 percent, with shipments to Ghana and Cameroon.
