This represents a 630% decline in performance.

The soap maker further recorded revenues of N152.24 billion, an increase of 34% from N113.96 billion in 2023.

Also Gross Profit increased to N54.12 billion from N32.94 billion in 2023.

The performance was further compounded by foreign exchange loss of N157.91 billion from 4.95 billion in 2023 largely due to naira depreciation.

The devaluation of the naira has affected the performance of many manufacturing concerns in Nigeria amidst the rise in cost of raw materials.

The foreign exchange virtually quadrupled from a little around N460 to a dollar in May last year to almost N1,600 due to the unification policy of the federal government.
