Newsonline Nigeria reports that Cadbury Nigeria Plc recorded a loss before tax of N17.9 billion in the second quarter of 2023. This compares to the N800 million profit reported at the same time in 2022.
The reason for the loss was a whopping N20.9 billion write-down the company took due to the impact of the unification of the naira on its loans.
The company carries forex-related loans with dollar-denominated interest rate components that triggered the losses. The depreciation of the Naira from about N460/$1 to about N790/$1 triggered the forex losses.
However, Cadbury was able to grow its top-line revenues by about 26% to N19 billion while gross profit also rose 176% to N7.2 billion.
Despite the losses arising from the extraordinary fx losses, Cadbury posted an operating profit of N1.5 billion, representing a 64% increase yearly.
Cadbury Nigeria Plc is a company domiciled in Nigeria. The address of the Company’s registered office is Lateef Jakande Road, Ikeja, Lagos.
The Company is principally engaged in manufacturing and selling branded fast-moving consumer goods mostly to the Nigerian market, but also for exports.

Cadbury Bournvita and 3-in-1 Hot Chocolate are the refreshment beverages, TomTom, Candy Caramel, Candy Coffee, Buttermint and Clorets gum are the confectionery products, Bournvita Biscuit is the biscuit category while Cocoa Butter is a key product in the intermediate cocoa category.
