Cost of sales rose by 118.80 per cent to N341.2 billion from N155.97 billion in 2024, while gross profit declined slightly by 0.30 per cent to N32.2 billion from N32.34 billion in 2024.

Meanwhile, total assets increased by 12.73 per cent, reaching N167.9 billion as at March 31, 2025. In 2022, Flour Mills of Nigeria (FMN) acquired a majority stake in Honeywell Flour Mills, a subsidiary of Honeywell Group.

Group managing director, FMN, Boye Olusanya, stated that, “we are delighted that approvals have been received and we are all set to begin execution of this landmark transaction that would positively impact Nigeria’s food security architecture and overall competitiveness.”
