Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on Telegram

Guinness Nigeria PLC remains optimistic despite facing a substantial foreign exchange (FX) loss of N81 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The company managed to boost its operating profit by an impressive 27 per cent, reaching N2.21 billion, as disclosed in its unaudited financial results for the nine months ending March 31, 2024, submitted to the Nigerian Exchange Limited.

In a statement accompanying the financial results, Guinness Nigeria emphasized the resilience and adaptability demonstrated in navigating through a challenging economic environment. Despite unprecedented challenges, the company reported a commendable 28 per cent year-on-year revenue growth, soaring to N220.3 billion compared to N172.47 billion in the corresponding period last year. Notably, the third quarter witnessed a remarkable 44 per cent acceleration, indicating strategic adjustments amidst evolving market dynamics.

Despite grappling with soaring inflation rates, currency devaluation, and escalating food insecurity, Guinness Nigeria showcased remarkable resilience by implementing proactive pricing strategies and optimizing product offerings, with a focus on premium categories to sustain growth momentum.

Furthermore, the company intensified its efforts in consumer engagement and trade support, leveraging digital platforms. Revenue growth was particularly significant in categories such as non-alcoholic malt, ready-to-serve beverages, and international premium spirits, underscoring the effectiveness of these strategies.

Operating profit surged by 27 per cent to N2.21 billion, driven by robust revenue performance and an intensified drive for productivity across the organization, despite extreme inflationary pressures. However, challenges persisted, primarily in the form of significant unrealized forex losses totaling N81 billion, attributed to the continued devaluation of the naira, which closed the quarter at N1,351/$1. Despite this setback, recent trends indicate a potential reversal, with the naira showing signs of stability in recent weeks, offering hope for potential exchange rate gains in the last quarter of the fiscal year.

Looking ahead, the board remains confident in the company’s well-crafted strategy and is committed to continuously evaluating it in response to the evolving business landscape, aiming to deliver returns to shareholders and create long-term value for all stakeholders.

Adebayo Alli, the Managing Director/CEO of Guinness Nigeria Plc, expressed confidence in the resilience of the business and its ability to navigate the prevailing macroeconomic challenges. He reiterated the company’s focus on innovation and operational excellence to meet evolving consumer preferences, underlining a strategic vision prioritizing long-term sustainability and shareholder value, positioning Guinness Nigeria to emerge even stronger in the future.

Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment characterized by declining consumer spending due to escalating inflation, continuous naira devaluation, and reduced cash circulation, Guinness Nigeria posted half-year revenue of N142 billion, reflecting a growth of 20 per cent over the previous year.

Guinness Nigeria PLC remains committed to its strategic objectives, leveraging its strengths to overcome challenges and capitalize on opportunities in the dynamic market landscape, while maintaining its position as a leading player in the industry.
