Bamburi Cement PLC reported a strong financial recovery for the year ended December 31, 2025, swinging back to profitability after a loss in the previous year, underpinned by robust revenue growth.
Turnover rose sharply by 13.6% to KES 24.90 billion from KES 21.91 billion in FY2024, largely driven by expansion in the retail and key accounts segments, marketing initiatives, and effective pricing. Operating profit surged 465.7% to KES 3.96 billion from KES 700 million, while profit after tax from continuing operations rebounded to KES 3.08 billion from KES 74 million.
Overall, net income stood at KES 3.08 billion, compared to a loss of KES 905 million in FY2024. Earnings Per Share (EPS) improved to KES 8.49 from a loss per share of KES 2.79.
