Contruction giants, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC says it has recorded a strong financial performance for the 2025 financial year. This comes as the company prepares for its 56th Annual General Meeting (AGM) slated for June 18, 2026 in Abuja.
The company, in its latest annual report, posted significant increases in revenue and profitability, underscoring what it described as a year of efficient project execution and sound financial management.
Accordjng to the report, revenue rose by 34.1 per cent compared to the N566.71 billion recorded in 2024, reflecting increased activity across its core business segments. The company also stated that Profit Before Tax also recorded a notable jump of 38.5 per cent, reaching N40.95 billion, up from N29.57 billion in the preceding year.
Net profit the company stated, climbed to N30.17 billion, marking one of the company’s strongest performances in recent years, while earnings per share nearly doubled, increasing by 96 per cent to N18.69 from N9.54 in 2024.
Followimg the impressive financial postings, the Board of Directors has however, proposed a final dividend of N4.25 per share, translating to a total payout of N6.8 billion to shareholders, subject to approval at the AGM.
The company attributed the impressive performance to sustained delivery across its four main operational segments; civil engineering, building construction, services, and diversification. During the year, the firm executed several major infrastructure and building projects across the country, further strengthening its position as a leading engineering construction company.
The company also established a new subsidiary in the Republic of Benin, expanding its footprints beyond Nigeria and signalling its entry into the broader West African market. The expansion is expected to open new opportunities and drive future growth.
Also, in the year under review, the company also took steps to streamline its operations and focus on its core business. In September 2025, it approved the leasing of its cashew processing facility in Epe, Lagos State, to a specialist operator. The move is aimed at ensuring continued productivity of the facility while allowing Julius Berger to concentrate resources on its primary engineering and construction activities.
Julius Berger further expressed optimism about its growth prospects, given its strong financial position and technical expertise as key drivers for securing new projects both in Nigeria and regionally.
On the upcoming AGM, the company said it is expected to provide shareholders with further insights into the company’s performance and strategic direction, even as the company continues to position itself for sustained growth in Nigeria’s infrastructure sector and beyond.
