International Breweries Plc has reported a pre-tax profit of N88.9 billion in its 2025 audited financial statements published on the Nigerian Exchange, slightly above the unaudited figure of N85.1 billion.

The result marks a strong turnaround from a loss of N111.8 billion in the prior year, driven largely by stronger revenue performance and reduced foreign exchange losses.

For the full year, revenue rose to N619.04 billion from N488.9 billion, with 100% of sales driven by its brewed products in the Nigerian market. The company reported net income of N50.91 billion, reversing the previous year’s after-tax loss of N113 billion. Revenue climbed to N619 billion in 2025, according to details from its audited results, from N488 billion in 2024, reflecting higher prices across its products and volume growth.

The brewer is gaining attention amid growing industry rivalry, while investor interest is buoyed by expectations of strong, healthy earnings in the first quarter. Its share price surged by 9.88% on significant trading volume led by buy-side actors, climbing to N13.35, still tracking behind its 52-week high of N16.2 ahead of Q1 earnings catalysts.
