Transnational Corporation Plc (Transcorp Group) has announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, reporting a profit before tax (PBT) of ₦50.7 billion. This performance was achieved despite a decrease in revenue to ₦125.1 billion, down from ₦143.7 billion in the corresponding period of 2025, attributed to operational headwinds. The group's PBT saw a 3% increase from ₦49.4 billion in Q1 2025, while profit after tax rose to ₦37.9 billion from ₦36.7 billion. Earnings per share also improved to 216 kobo from 192 kobo in the previous year. Transcorp Group's balance sheet strengthened, with total equity growing to ₦392.8 billion from ₦353.4 billion as of December 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased to ₦31.4 billion, up from ₦21.9 billion, indicating improved liquidity. The company noted significant improvement in finance costs, shifting from a net cost to a net income position, which contributed to sustaining earnings amidst disruptions. The power business segment faced challenges due to gas supply constraints and issues in electricity evacuation stemming from vandalism of critical transmission infrastructure, limiting power dispatch to the national grid. In contrast, the hospitality segment experienced robust growth in both revenue and profitability, driven by consistent service delivery and strong customer demand. Transcorp Hotels Plc, the hospitality subsidiary, reported its own strong results, with revenue increasing by 9% to ₦22.41 billion and PBT rising by 15% to ₦7.08 billion in Q1 2026. This was attributed to operational excellence, cost efficiency, and customer-centric innovation. The company's performance highlights its resilience and strategic focus on growth within key economic sectors.
