Similarly, the company’s total liabilities increased to N23.32bn, up from N15.57bn in 2023, indicating higher financial obligations, possibly due to increased investments and operational costs.
CWG Plc reported a gross profit of N9.89bn, reflecting a 108 per cent increase from N4.75bn recorded in the prior year. The rise in profitability was despite administrative expenses climbing from N3.49bn in 2023 to N5.7bn in 2024.
Other comprehensive income for the year soared to N1.74bn, up from N296.6m in 2023, largely due to foreign translation gains. This brought the company’s total comprehensive income to N4.79bn, representing a 449 per cent increase from N872.7m in 2023.
In line with its profitability, CWG Plc declared a dividend payout of N403.9m, reaffirming its commitment to rewarding shareholders.
