MTN Nigeria has recorded a 13.9% boost in its total revenue for Q3 2020, as it recorded total revenue of N975.76 billion (Ghs 14.9 billion) this year, up from N856.549 billion (Ghs 13.1 billion) recorded in the corresponding period last year.

This is according to its updated financials available on the Nigerian Stock Exchange Market.

Operating profit also increased by 7.8 per cent from N284.73 billion (Ghs 4.4 billion) in Q3 2019 to N307.01 billion (Ghs 4.7 billion) in Q3 2020.

The growth in operating profit was largely impacted by the increase in finance costs as a result of increased borrowings (September 2019: N381 billion, September 2020: N509 billion), leading to a decline of 0.6 per cent in profit before tax to N211.6 billion (Ghs 3.2 billion).

What you should know

The following are key metrics which impacted the Q3 2020 figures posted by the firm:

  • Mobile subscribers increased by 3.9 million to 75 million.
  • Active data users increased by 1.7 million to 30.7 million.
  • Service revenue increased by 13.9 per cent to N973.8 billion.
  • Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew by 9.1 per cent to N497.9 billion (Ghs 7.6 billion).
  • EBITDA margin declined by 2.3 percentage point (pp) to 51.0 per cent, due to cost pressures arising mainly from increased investments in the firm’s network and the impact on costs of the depreciation to the CBN and NAFEX exchange rates.
  • Profit before Tax (PBT) declined by 0.6 per cent to N211.6 billion.
  • Earnings Per Share (EPS) declined by 3.3 per cent to N7.1 kobo

Commenting on the rationale behind the revenue growth in the latest financials posted by the firm, CEO of MTN Nigeria, Ferdi Moolman, said;

Following a decline in voice traffic and an acceleration in data during lockdowns in Q2, we have seen a normalization of traffic as restrictions have been removed, with a recovery voice traffic and continued growth in data. This has supported a 13.9% growth in service revenue, with an acceleration of growth to 16.5% in Q3 specifically.”
