Transnational Corporation Plc (Transcorp Group) has hosted a high-level investors’ call to discuss its audited Full Year (FY) 2025 financial results and outline its strategic priorities for 2026.
During the high-level investors’ call on Tuesday, Owen Omogiafo, President/Group CEO of Transcorp Plc said the conglomerate’s 2025 financial results affirmed the resilience of its investments across its diversified operations.
She said, “Our performance for the year was robust. We recorded significant revenue growth and sustained strong profitability, underpinned by disciplined execution and the strength of our diversified portfolio.”
Responding to a question around the role of Transcorp in Nigeria’s power challenges, Owen said: “Power remains critical to the sustainable development of any economy, especially in Nigeria. Initiatives like Grid Asset Management Company (GAMCO), alongside the Electricity Act, are key to revitalising the power sector and ensuring long term sustainability.”
The Group, which is Africa’s leading listed conglomerate with strategic investments in power, hospitality and energy reported its best financial performance in history, delivering record growth across all key metrics.
Looking ahead, the company said it would focus on increasing operational capacity across its businesses, deepening partnerships and driving efficiency, while also expanding its hospitality offerings through new collaborations and improved customer experience.
Transcorp Group recorded gross revenue of N544.41 billion, representing 33 percent year-on-year growth, driven by strong operational execution across its power and hospitality segments. Profit Before Tax rose 31 percent to N179.50 billion, while Profit After Tax surged 44 percent to N135.9 billion.
The results proved the Group’s capacity to sustain robust growth despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, including sector-wide impediments such as gas supply constraints, grid instability, and inflationary pressures.
In hospitality, through Transcorp Hotels Plc, the owners of the iconic Transcorp Hilton Abuja, the Group is redefining hospitality standards in Africa.
Owen maintained that “We will not rest on our oars. We remain committed to delivering a diverse and enriching experience for our guests, while sustaining and improving the strong occupancy levels we have achieved. Notably, by Q3 last year, Transcorp Hotels had already surpassed its full-year 2024 performance. That is the kind of value we will continue to build on.”
Across all Transcorp Group investments, each business delivered strong growth, and this collective performance has driven the Group’s overall revenue.
With a combined market capitalisation of N4.87 trillion ($3.57 billion) across its listed subsidiaries and over 300,000 shareholders on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), Transcorp continues to drive the transformation across the key sectors of the economy.
Transcorp Group continues to demonstrate its position as one of Africa’s most consequential diversified conglomerates, delivering commercial returns and broad-based national impact in equal measure.
Peter Ikenga, managing director/ chief executive officer of Transcorp Power Plc emphasised that the group’s ability to sustain generation despite financial delays is a testament to its internal resilience and diversified gas strategy.
He stated, “We recognise the value of ensuring consistent, reliable, and stable power generation. We are consistently working with various gas producers and transporters to ensure that even when they undergo maintenance programmes, we are only slightly impacted.”
As the group looks towards a 2026 year-end target of 760MW average available capacity for Transcorp Power, the resolution of these receivables provides the necessary liquidity to fund aggressive expansion.
On macroeconomic conditions, Omogiafo said Nigeria experienced relative stability in 2025, with improving fundamentals, declining inflation and a strengthening naira, although global tensions, particularly in the Middle East, pose risks to commodity prices and external demand.
She expressed optimism that ongoing policy adjustments, including interest rate moderation, would support domestic production and economic growth.
Omogiafo reaffirmed the company’s commitment to sustaining growth and delivering value to shareholders, noting that Transcorp remains resilient despite industry headwinds.
