Cadbury Nigeria Reports N28.2billion Loss In 2023, Shareholders’ Funds Wiped Out by KillIgbohoN0W: 9:45pm On Apr 02

Cadbury Nigeria Plc reported a pre-tax loss of N28.2 billion in FY 2023, marking a whopping 2269% decline from the N1.3 billion pre-tax profit posted in 2022.

According to the company’s audited financial statement for 2023, Cadbury Nigeria posted a revenue of N80.4 billion in 2023, reflecting a 46% growth from the N55.2 billion posted in 2022.

In 2023, the group recorded a N36.9 billion foreign exchange loss, effectively resulting in a retained loss of N11.4 billion and a negative equity of N6.5 billion.

Key Highlights (FY 2023 vs FY 2022)

-Revenue: N80.4 billion, +46% YoY
-Cost of sales: N63.0 billion, +33% YoY
-Gross profit: N17.3 billion, +124% YoY
-Selling and distribution expenses: N7.3 billion, +16% YoY
-Operating profit: N7.9 billion, +3957% YoY
-Net finance (cost)/income: -N36.0 billion, -3362% YoY
-Loss before tax: N28.2 billion, -2269% YoY
-Loss for the year: N19.1 billion, -3374% YoY
-Earnings per share: -N10.16, -3374% YoY
Total assets: N63.4 billion, +6% YoY

What you should know
The company’s primary revenue sources were refreshment beverages, including Cadbury Bournvita and 3-in-1 Hot Chocolate, which collectively generated N52.2 billion in sales in 2023.

This was followed by confectionery products such as TomTom, Candy Caramel, Candy Coffee, Buttermint, and Clorets gum, which contributed N25.6 billion in revenue. Additionally, Bournvita Biscuit, introduced to the market in 2023, generated N609 million in sales.

Facing a challenging financial scenario evidenced by a negative equity of N6.5 billion in 2023, the company is actively pursuing debt restructuring as a necessary measure.

Consequently, the company is currently in the process of converting a $7.7 million debt owed to its principal shareholder, Cadbury Schweppes Overseas Limited, into equity. This move will increase Cadbury Schweppes Overseas Limited’s shareholding in Cadbury Nigeria to 79.39%.

I am not sure there's no multi-national company that didn't make losses under the first nine months of this calamitous Tinubu regime. 

Millions of Nigerians got poorer under this calamitous Tinubu regime. 

Tinubu is a plague that have inflicted this country

Loss my FOOT!

After increasing the prices of all their products, most especially the bournvita chocolate tea, a carton of the small sachet of bournvita chocolate tea was #23500 as at February(as at the last time I bought it),I'm sure it's not less than #24k+ as we speak ,let alone other products.

They have doubled the price of all their goods,so they should stop crying for loss.

What we don't realise is that Nigeria is slowly losing the confidence of foreign investment especially in manufacturing, multiple multinationals have dumped the country in recent months and in 2023, Nigeria had a negative growth in FDI, the first time since 1995. Trade deficit was also above 1 trillion in Q4 2023. The earlier we control this the better.

I believe this headline about companies making losses are misleading.
These companies are making massive revenues with marginal increases in expenditure,but when it's time to declare dividend,they bring up this loss abracadabra.
This loss they are basically declaring is from their exposure to foreign debts, these companies secured foreign loans in the cause of doing their business,but now that it's time to repay, the exchange rate has now ballooned.
These companies should be more open on where their losses are coming from and stop this facade that the Nigerian Economy is in massive depression,their losses is not because the Economy is bleeding,but because of their exposure to foreign loans.
God bless Nigeria.....

Tinubu is about to totally destroy this country.

All major companies are reporting huge losses while others are exiting the country.

These trends are quite unfortunate and disturbing.

Paper loss wink

Cadbury is in great hands. The majority shareholder is getting a steal by increasing its stake in Cadbury Nigeria immediately after a forex devaluation before the naira recovers fully and cancel their forex gain in naira; purely smart business decision.
You don't increase your stake in a bad business wink

Only cyberbullies with zero knowledge of financial statements will struggle to understand that this is a paper loss and that the winner is the majority shareholder.
