Its unaudited results filed with the Nigeria Exchange
Limited, showed that the conglomerate with interests in the power, hospitality,
and energy sectors recorded a profit after tax of N5.0bn rising significantly
by 147% up from N2.0bn recorded in March 2021; while Profit before tax which
stood at N2.5bn in March last year, gained 129% to N5.7bn in the same period
under consideration.
A further look at the results showed that revenue increased
by 28% from N24.4bn at the end of the
first quarter of 2021; to N31.4bn as at March 2022, while operating income
followed the same pattern as it grew by 45% to N10.0bn up from N6.9bn reported
the previous year.
An increase in expenses such as Inventories, prepayments,
trade and other receivables, however, did not dampen the Group’s total assets
which rose to N417bn in the period under review, up from N416bn recorded at the
end of the 2021 financial year; just shareholders’ funds also rose by 3% to
N151.0bn, up from N146.3bn.
Transcorp’s President/Group Chief Executive Officer, Owen
Omogiafo, who was excited at what she described as a great start to a rewarding
year, expressed satisfaction with the performance for the first quarter 2022,
and noted that the result is in line with the group’s strategy.
She stated “This laudable performance was achieved as a
result of the improved activities across all our businesses. We are excited
with the results for the first quarter of 2022; delivering 28% rise in Revenue
and 129% rise in Profit Before Tax; and we are confident in the strategic
direction for the Group as it underlines the success of our long-term
objectives of diversifying revenues and accessing new opportunities to deliver
superior values to all our stakeholders.”
Omogiafo re-emphasised the brand’s commitment towards
producing long-term value and sustainable impact, adding that already, this has
been evident from the results churned out by the business in the full year
2021, and Q1 2022, despite the unstable operating environment, adding, “We will
continue to work diligently as we remain well-positioned to provide significant
value for our stakeholders.”
