“With operational control firmly embedded and the foundations for growth clearly established, our focus is on the diligent execution of our development programme to accelerate production growth, strengthen cash generation and enhance long-term value creation. As we enter 2026, we will continue to allocate capital prudently, deepen operational resilience and build on the momentum achieved,” Wale Tinubu, group chief executive, Oando Plc noted following the company’s recently released unaudited results for the full year ended December 31, 2025.
Oando Plc revenue declined 21 percent year-on-year (YoY) to N3.21 trillion (FY 2024: N4.09 trillion), reflecting a deliberate reduction in lower-margin refined-product trading amid structural changes in the domestic downstream market, partly offset by higher upstream production volumes.
Also, gross profit decreased 82 percent year-on-year to N27.8 billion (FY 2024: N155.9 billion), driven by the change in revenue mix following reduced trading volumes and the impact of non-cash items, notwithstanding materially higher upstream output.
Profit after tax (PAT) increased 10 percent year-on-year to N241.3 billion (FY 2024: N220.1 billion), supported by higher upstream production, impairment reversals, and favourable tax adjustments.
Capital expenditure increased to N101.9 billion (FY 2024: N18.5 billion), reflecting increased investment in upstream development, facility integrity, and infrastructure optimisation following the assumption of operatorship.
Operating cash flow improved materially year-on-year, reflecting enhanced cash conversion, and improved working capital management.
