Maroc Telecom’s Resilience: Profit Growth Amidst Flat Revenue
In a demonstration of robust financial management, leading African telecommunications giant Maroc Telecom has reported a notable increase in its H1 2025 profits, even as its overall revenue experienced a slight dip. The company’s net profit rose modestly by 0.5% to reach 2.59 billion Moroccan dirhams, equivalent to approximately $330 million USD. This growth in profitability is particularly impressive given that the group’s total revenue for the period fell by 1.2%, settling at 18 billion dirhams, or about $2.3 billion USD, underscoring the operator’s strategic agility in navigating a competitive and evolving market landscape.
Strategic Operations: Moov Africa’s Driving Force
A closer look at Maroc Telecom’s half-year results reveals a clear divergence in its operational performance across different regions. Domestically, in Morocco, the company faced headwinds, with revenue experiencing a 3.4% decline. However, the true story of resilience lies in its extensive African footprint. Maroc Telecom’s subsidiary, Moov Africa, proved to be a significant growth engine, successfully offsetting these domestic challenges. Operating across 10 key African nations – including Benin, Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Togo – Moov Africa registered an impressive 1.2% growth in revenue from its operations. This strategic diversification has been instrumental in the group’s overall profitability. Furthermore, the operator’s customer base expanded significantly, now serving over 80 million subscribers across its markets, a healthy 2.3% increase from the previous year, highlighting its expanding reach and market penetration across the continent. Notably, Maroc Telecom has also engaged in strategic collaborations, including joint ventures with competitor Inwi.
Maroc Telecom’s H1 2025 performance is a testament to its strategic foresight and operational efficiency. Despite a slight downturn in overall revenue and domestic market challenges, the telecommunications giant leveraged the robust growth of its Moov Africa operations and expanded customer base to not only maintain but also slightly increase its profitability. This outcome highlights the growing importance of the broader African market for major regional players and underscores Maroc Telecom’s adeptness at navigating complex economic landscapes to secure continued financial success.
