Cadbury Nigeria Plc has recorded a profit after tax of N9.68bn for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, marking a strong rebound from a loss of N11.86bn recorded in the same period of 2024.

According to the company’s unaudited financial statement released to the Nigerian Exchange Limited on Wednesday, the performance was driven by higher revenue and improved operating efficiency.

Cadbury’s results from operating activities jumped by 154 per cent to N15.90bn, from N6.25bn in the previous year, while profit before tax stood at N13.83bn, compared to a pre-tax loss of N16.94bn recorded in 2024.

The company’s total equity also improved significantly to N14.06bn as of September 2025, representing a sharp rise from N344.16m recorded in the same period last year.

Basic earnings per share rose to 424 kobo, up from a loss per share of 520 kobo in 2024, highlighting a strong recovery in shareholders’ value.
