The cement manufacturers’ unaudited results for Q1 ended April 30, 2024 showed that the Nigerian operations volume rose significantly and positively affected the rise in the Group’s overall volume to 7.0Mt.

The company recorded a Group revenue of N817.4 billion, even as profit after tax inched up by 2.9 per cent to N112.7 billion. Earnings per share closed the quarter at N6.68 representing an increase of 3.7 per cent. As part of its sustainability programme, Dangote Cement commissioned ten of the 17 Alternative Fuel Projects across the Group.

The chief executive officer of Dangote Cement, Arvind Pathak said, “driven by an uptick in economic activities, our Nigerian operations witnessed a strong rebound, with volumes up 26.1 per cent to 4.6Mt in the quarter.

“Similarly, our pan-Africa operations continued an upward trajectory, with volumes up 3.1 per cent to 2.7Mt, buoyed by increased sales in Zambia and Congo. Despite elevated cost pressures, increased borrowing costs, and a further currency weakening, our first-quarter results reflect our commitment to navigating challenges effectively.”

He added that, “Group revenue more than doubled to N817.4 billion, while Group EBITDA rose 66.6 per cent to N309.5 billion. Profit after tax was up 2.9 per cent at N112.7 billion. These results underscore our ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic business environment while delivering value to our stakeholders.”

He stressed that “during the quarter, we intensified our emphasis on exports, dispatching 7 ships from Nigeria to Ghana and Cameroon. As a result, our Nigerian exports surged by 87.2 per cent, reflecting our commitment to expanding our presence in regional markets and capitalising on our export-to-import strategy.

“We continue to prioritise innovation, cleaner energy transition, and cost leadership towards achieving our vision of transforming Africa and building a sustainable future.”
