Okomu Oil beats forecast as profit soars 459% to N34.841 billion in Q2 2025 

Okomu Oil Plc has reported a pre-tax profit of N34.841 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, representing an impressive 459% year-on-year (YoY) growth from the N6.236 billion recorded in the same period last year.

The company also exceeded its Q2 profit forecast by over 238%.

This performance pushed its pre-tax profit for the first half of the year to N67.053 billion.

The company’s improved performance continued to be driven by impressive top-line growth. In Q2 2025, revenue surged to N71.7 billion, representing a 128% year-on-year (YoY) increase.

Notably, revenue growth outpaced the increase in the cost of sales. Local sales were the major driver, accounting for over 92% of total revenue.

On a year-to-date basis, revenue reached N129.834 billion, reflecting a robust 73% increase, while cost of sales rose by 41% to N42.9 billion.

This outperformance boosted gross profit and margins. In Q2, gross profit stood at over N44 billion, with the gross profit margin improving to 62%.

One of the standout improvements came from finance costs, which were significantly reduced to N547 million from N2.9 billion in the same quarter of 2024.

• These costs—primarily due to foreign exchange revaluation losses—had previously weighed earnings but dropped sharply this quarter, allowing a greater share of revenue to flow through to profit.

On the balance sheet, total assets stood at N159.911 billion as of June 2025, reflecting a 36.63% increase over six months.

• Retained earnings rose further to N76.693 billion, up from N53.957 billion in December 2024.
