Airtel Africa reports 22.5% growth in revenue for 9-months 2021

Airtel Africa Plc, telecom giant, has released its 2021 9-month Unaudited Financial Statement revealing a 22.5% growth in revenue from $2.85 billion in 2020 to $3.49 billion in the current period.

Net profit for the nine-month period appreciated significantly by 97.3% from $261 million in 2020 to $514 million.

The increase in net profit is attributable to a higher operating profit compared to the prior period. Operating profit grew by 43% from $800 million to $1.15 billion in the current period.

However, in Q4 2021, the company reported a 17.90% growth in revenue of $1.22 billion from $1.03 billion in the corresponding period of 2020, while profit after tax in the same quarter, appreciated by 54.4% to stand at $180 million.

Key highlights of the report
  • The group reported double-digit growth across all key services; as Voice revenue, data revenue and mobile revenue grew by 16.1%, 37.2%, and 22.0%, respectively.
  • The 9-month financial statement revealed that the company’s revenue from Nigeria made up roughly 39% to the total revenue, thereby contributing the highest, compared to East Africa and Francophone Africa.
  • In Nigeria, revenue grew by 21.3% from $1.13 billion in the corresponding period of 2020 to $1.37 billion, as Data revenue growth continued to be a key driver of growth in Nigeria, growing by 44.5%.

  • Total customer base in the country declined by 2 million, largely due to the implementation of new “Know-Your-Customer” (KYC) requirements in Nigeria, which initially included a temporary halt to new customer activations.
  • Airtel Africa recorded taxation for the period at approximately $350 million appreciating by over 58%, from the prior-year period.
  • The group’s customer base expanded to 125.8 million, growing by 5.8%, with increased penetration across mobile data and mobile money services.
  • Airtel Africa Plc last traded at N1271.00 per share and its market capitalization stands at N4.78 trillion as at Thursday, February 3, 2022. Year-to-date performance shows that the share price of the company has appreciated by 33.09%.

We have also seen further improvement in our customer growth trends for the Group with Nigeria returning to strong customer growth after a period affected by the implementation of new ‘know your customer’ requirements
