Airtel Africa has revealed it has returned to profitability, with a pre-tax profit of $661 million for the full year 2025, ending March 31.
Gatekeepers News reports that this reflects a 1,147.8% year-on-year increase in reported currency, compared to a $63 million pre-tax loss recorded in 2024.
In its financial report; the company revealed that profit after tax increased to $328 million, from a $89 million loss in the previous year, which was significantly impacted by derivative and foreign exchange losses, primarily in Nigeria.
Total revenue increased to $4.96 billion with a 21.1% growth in constant currency. However, revenue declined slightly by 0.5% in reported currency due to currency devaluation.
Notably, strong execution and tariff adjustments in Nigeria contributed to a further quarter of accelerating growth, with Q4 2025 revenue growth of 23.2% in constant currency and 17.8% in reported currency, as currency headwinds eased.
The company said, “We have reported another strong operating performance as our strategy continues to deliver against the significant opportunity that exists across our markets.”
“An improving operating environment and focused execution contributed to strong momentum in our financial results, with constant currency revenue growth peaking at 23.2% in Q4’25. Part of this acceleration in the last quarter has also been driven by the Nigerian tariff adjustment.”
