MTN Nigeria Achieves Remarkable ₦750.2 Billion Profit After Tax in Q3 2025, Signalling Strong Financial Rebound
MTN Nigeria has demonstrated an extraordinary financial turnaround, reporting a substantial profit after tax (PAT) of ₦750.19 billion for the first nine months ending September 2025. This impressive figure represents a dramatic 245.7% year-on-year swing, recovering from a significant ₦514.9 billion loss recorded in the corresponding period of 2024. This remarkable recovery not only confirms the telecommunications giant’s return to robust profitability but also paves the way for the reinstatement of dividend payments to its shareholders.
# Restored Profitability and Renewed Investor Confidence
This striking reversal in fortunes also signifies the restoration of key financial metrics, with positive retained earnings now standing at ₦142.7 billion and shareholders’ equity reaching ₦293.1 billion, effectively erasing negative balances held just months prior. In a powerful testament to its regained financial health and a clear signal to the investment community, MTN Nigeria’s Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend of ₦5.00 per share. This move is particularly significant for investors who have experienced years of suspended payouts, marking a renewed commitment to shareholder returns. The driving force behind this impressive rebound includes strong and diversified topline revenue growth. Service revenue, the bedrock of MTN’s core telecom operations, surged by an impressive 57.5% year-on-year. Within this, data revenue saw an exceptional 73.2% increase, highlighting robust subscriber engagement and consumption in the digital space.
The stellar performance underscores MTN Nigeria’s resilience and strategic effectiveness in the dynamic Nigerian telecoms market. This financial resurgence positions the company strongly for future growth, reinforcing its leadership in a critical sector for Africa’s technological advancement. Investors and market watchers alike will be observing MTN Nigeria keenly as it capitalises on this momentum, promising a period of stability and value creation.
