Transcorp Hotels Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading hospitality brands, has reported a remarkable N10.1 billion pre-tax profit for the third quarter of 2025 – a 71% surge from N5.9 billion recorded in the same period last year.
This robust performance, highlighted in its latest financial disclosure, brings the company’s nine-month pre-tax profit to N22.4 billion, representing a 36.3% year-on-year increase. The growth was largely powered by revenue expansion and a sustained focus on efficiency, demonstrating the company’s resilience in an economy still navigating fiscal tightening and evolving market dynamics.
Revenue climbed 31.8% to N24.7 billion for the quarter, while total nine-month revenue stood at N72.3 billion – up from N48.4 billion in the same period of 2024. Room revenues remained the largest contributor at N48 billion, followed by food and beverage sales at N21 billion, with rentals and other services rounding up the mix.
Despite a 4.8% rise in cost of sales to N5.8 billion, Transcorp Hotels maintained strong profitability, recording a gross profit of N18.8 billion – a 43.4% jump year-on-year.
Operating profit also surged to N10.9 billion, up from N6.5 billion, reflecting the group’s efficient cost management and strategic reinvestments. The company’s finance costs fell by 9.7% to N957.6 million due to lower borrowings, contributing to the 70.6% increase in pre-tax profit.
After accounting for a N4 billion tax charge, net profit stood at N6.1 billion – a 69.6% increase compared to the same period last year.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to N154.2 billion, while retained earnings grew by 11.5% to N70.4 billion, underscoring financial stability and prudent capital deployment.
Chairman Emmanuel Nnorom attributed the strong results to the company’s disciplined cost structure, operational efficiency, and unwavering focus on customers.
“Transcorp Hotels remains committed to sustainable growth and creating long-term value for its investors,” he said.
Uzo Oshogwe, Managing Director/CEO of Transcorp Hotels Plc, reiterated that the results reflect the company’s pursuit of excellence and its ambition to redefine hospitality standards in Africa. She highlighted the newly commissioned 5,000-seat event center as a game-changer that positions Nigeria as a preferred destination for global conferences and events.
“With our strong asset base and dedicated team, we are well-positioned to sustain our growth trajectory and continue delivering value to shareholders,” she noted.
At the close of trading on October 20, 2025, Transcorp Hotels’ share price stood at N164.6, up 41.9% year-to-date, signaling strong investor confidence in the company’s fundamentals and strategic direction.
