Transnational Corporation Plc (Transcorp Group) announced its unaudited Q3 2025 results, posting a pre‑tax profit of N38.81 billion – a 53.84 % year‑on‑year surge compared with the same quarter of 2024. The cumulative nine‑month pre‑tax profit rose 18 % to N124.52 billion, sitting just 8 % shy of the full‑year 2024 figure. Revenue for the quarter spiked 53.97 % to N133.76 billion, while the nine‑month top line grew 38.89 % to N413.44 billion, eclipsing the entire 2024 revenue.

Gross profit margin climbed to 49 % from 45 % a year earlier, while operating margin improved to 34.19 % versus 32.02 % in Q3 2024. Net finance income jumped 68.01 % to N5.79 billion, reflecting better financial efficiency. On the balance‑sheet side, total assets expanded 26 % to N940.89 billion, driven by a 157 % surge in financial‑asset investments to about N47 billion. Property, plant & equipment remained the biggest asset class at N318.99 billion. Shareholders’ funds grew 13.94 % to N309.57 billion, and retained losses narrowed to N149.69 billion from N112.32 bn. Borrowings fell to N80.05 billion from N88.51 bn, while trade and other payables stayed high at N357.61 billion (57 % of total liabilities).
