It achieved a thermal substitution rate estimated at 10.5 per cent for H1 2024 compared to 7.8 per cent in H1 2023.

Chief Executive Officer, Dangote Cement, Arvind Pathak, in his remarks, said : “We effectively navigated macroeconomic headwinds to deliver positive results in the first half of the year.

“Group volumes were up 3.8%, with our Nigeria operations achieving double-digit volume growth of 10.9%.

“This growth was driven by improved efficiency across our operations and supported by increased market activity levels compared to the election year and cash crunch in 2023.

” Despite the challenges of elevated inflation, high borrowing costs, and a further weakening of the currency in the first six months of the year, our business demonstrated strong resilience.

“This was due to our rigorous focus on cost minimisation and our diversified business model.”

He added that : “Group revenue and EBITDA rose 85.1% and 50.3% to ₦1,760.1 billion and ₦666.2 billion, respectively.

“Our Profit After Tax (PAT) reached ₦189.9 billion, marking a 6.3 per cent increase.

“I am pleased with the performance of our business, as key financial indicators are showing positive trends.

” By leveraging our robust export-to-import strategy, Dangote Cement completed fourteen shipments of clinker from Nigeria to Ghana and Cameroon.

“This effort resulted in a 55.2 per cent surge in our Nigerian exports, underscoring our commitment to fostering African self-sufficiency.

” Looking ahead, we remain bullish about the growth prospect of the African region, evident in our increased capital investments.

“We continue to prioritise innovation, cleaner energy transition, and cost leadership towards achieving our vision of transforming Africa and building a sustainable future.”
