This is an increase of 36 per cent over the N80.4bn posted in the previous year, a statement said.

Its cost of sales grew by 41% to N93.9bn from N66.5bn in the previous financial year which, it said, was due to rising inflation and foreign exchange, among other indices.
Its operating profit grew faster than revenue at 39%, from N5.4bn last year to N7.6bn in 2021, attributable to improved efficiencies and cost optimisation strategies.
The firm’s selling and distribution cost dropped by 8% to N5.5 billion, while general and administrative expenses rose by 4% from N2.4bn to N2.5bn.
The company also recorded a higher Profit After Tax (PAT) rising 73% from N650 million in 2020 to N1.1bn this year.
