Lafarge Africa reports second quarter of 2025 financial results

Nigeria: Lafarge Africa reported a 70% year-on-year rise in net sales to US$176m in the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher volumes supported by improved plant stability.

Operating profit grew by 153% year-on-year in the second quarter, with first-half growth at 144%, attributed to topline growth and operational efficiencies. Profit after tax rose by 248% year-on-year to US$55m in the quarter and by 352% in the first half of 2025, strengthened by the stability of the Naira, following heavy losses due to the currency depreciating in 2024.

CEO Lolu Alade-Akinyemi said “Following our impressive first-quarter results, second-quarter performance further showcases the strength of our team, market positioning, operational efficiency, cost management and dedication to value creation. We achieved excellent financial results in the second quarter of 2025, with net sales growth of 70%, operating profit up 153%, and profit after tax up by 248% year-on-year. With this strong result, we closed the first half of 2025 with sales and operating profit growth of 75% and 144% respectively; driven by volume growth, operational excellence, innovative product offerings and our proactive market Initiatives.”
