Vitafoam’s Revenue Surges to N82.58 Billion Despite Rising Costs
Detailed Breakdown:
Significant Revenue Growth
Vitafoam Nigeria Plc reported a substantial revenue increase of 56% in the third quarter of 2024, reaching N82.58 billion, up from N52.99 billion in the same period last year. This growth reflects the company’s resilience and its ability to generate revenue despite challenging economic conditions.
Profit Decline Amid Higher Costs
Despite revenue growth, Vitafoam’s profit before tax saw a significant decline, dropping from N6.01 billion to N1.525 billion. This decrease is primarily due to a rise in the cost of sales, which jumped from N35.04 billion to N52.54 billion, driven by foreign exchange pressures and other operational expenses.
Commitment to Value and Efficiency
In a statement to the Nigerian Exchange Limited, Vitafoam affirmed its commitment to providing value for its shareholders despite high operational costs and decreased consumer purchasing power. Group Managing Director and CEO Taiwo Adeniyi emphasized the company’s proactive approach to navigating current challenges and focusing on operational efficiency. He highlighted the importance of Vitafoam’s diversified product portfolio and strategic investments, which he expects will drive growth and strengthen competitiveness in the market.
Expanding Local Operations
With over 95% of its sales occurring within Nigeria, Vitafoam operates six active subsidiaries, including Vitafoam Sierra Leone Ltd., Vitapur Nigeria Ltd., Vitablom Nigeria Ltd., Vitavisco Nigeria Ltd., Vono Furniture Products Ltd., and Vitaparts Nigeria Ltd. The company’s strong local footprint reinforces its dedication to maintaining and expanding its market presence.
This strategic focus on local operations and product diversification aims to support Vitafoam’s long-term goals, even amid economic headwinds.
