Dangote Cement Plc has announced robust financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with a remarkable 164.8% increase in earnings per share (EPS) to ₦43.80.
The company in a recent release noted that its strong operational performance and strategic expansion efforts drove the growth.
Dangote Cement’s group revenue climbed by 23.2% to ₦3,154.8 billion, while group EBITDA rose by 57.7% to ₦1,428.2 billion. Profit after tax (PAT) surged by 166.3% to ₦743.3 billion.
According to the release, a major contributor to this performance was the commissioning of a new 3Mta grinding plant in Côte d’Ivoire, which expanded Dangote Cement’s total installed capacity to 55Mta across Africa.
This strategic move reinforces the company’s leadership in the continent’s cement industry and supports regional self-reliance.
Commenting on the results, Arvind Pathak, Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Cement, attributed the revenue growth to proactive management strategies and resilient market demand.
He highlighted the success of efficiency programs and disciplined cost management, particularly in Nigeria, where a more favorable energy mix helped reduce cash costs.
Pathak also emphasised the company’s sustainability initiatives, including the phased deployment of 1,600 CNG-powered trucks aimed at reducing logistics costs and carbon emissions.
Progress on the Itori Integrated Plant is also underway, expected to boost domestic capacity and open new export opportunities.
Looking ahead, Pathak added that the company’s focus remains on sustaining earnings momentum, enhancing operational efficiency, and executing its long-term growth strategy.
Dangote Cement remains Africa’s largest cement producer, with a fully integrated quarry-to-customer model and a production capacity of 35.25Mta in Nigeria alone.
The company operates across several African countries, including Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Ethiopia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Côte d’Ivoire.
