This can only be reported in Nigeria where anything goes!
A 94% rise in profit which didn't even come from their operations. Reveue also rose by only 18.3%, please where is the strong growth in key revenue segements that will add up with the 94%. In fact the operating income only rose by 9.9% which shows that over half of the revenue growth have been consumed by their rising costs.
To worsen the case, asset grew by only 7.8% and not the 6.2% reported~ (this is unsurprising, only happens in Nigeria).
The company might not be able to sustain this growth because a larger part of the PAT were majorly outside its operations. It could have been as a result of;
Reorganisation of financing arrangements
Or lesser tax payment.
These two can't be sustained as they aren't yearly events.

More importantly if the PAT had included the whole comprehensive income. Then the increase in PAT could have also been as a result of sale of asset or revaluation surplus. This is also not a yearly event.

By and large this is an unhealty financial report.
Investors should beware!
If they need expert advice on earnings management; they should consult experts.

That's a good one for them

Ok

Nice one but why wont banks be making so much profit when they buy dollar 305 and sell 360.
