Julius Berger Nigeria Plc says it’s on track for long-term growth after sharing its 2025 financial results and future plans at the 2026 Investors’ Forum.
The company held a virtual meeting with investors and analysts. Managing Director Engr. Dr. Peer Lubasch and Finance Director Mr. Christian Hausemann led the presentation. They reviewed last year’s performance, the business environment, and what’s next for the construction giant.
Julius Berger reported revenue of about ₦759.9 billion for the year ending December 31, 2025. That’s a 34.1% jump from the previous year. Management said the growth came from steady work on roads, bridges, and building projects, plus contributions from its subsidiaries.
Profit Before Tax climbed 38.5% to ₦41 billion. Profit After Tax reached ₦30.2 billion. The company credited better project delivery, tight cost control, and work with both government and private clients for the improved results.
Total assets stood at ₦1.081 trillion, keeping Julius Berger among Nigeria’s biggest construction firms by asset size. The firm also stayed financially strong with ₦192.1 billion in cash and only ₦12.9 billion in loans at year-end. Lubasch said the low debt level gives the company flexibility to take on new projects.
*Better Ratings, More Focus on Sustainability*
Two rating agencies upgraded Julius Berger during the year. Agusto & Co moved its rating from A- to A with a Stable Outlook. DataPro gave it an A rating with a Positive Outlook.
On sustainability, the company spent about ₦837.9 million on community projects in 2025. It’s also pushing cleaner energy use and improving its ESG reporting. Julius Berger plans to release its first sustainability report using IFRS S1 and S2 standards by 2027.
Looking ahead, Julius Berger wants to grow by working more with private clients and state governments. It will focus on improving efficiency and expanding its technical skills. The company will also use its subsidiaries to offer more specialized services and create new income streams.
Operations in the Republic of Benin are being strengthened, and the company is studying more chances for expansion across West Africa.
Management noted challenges like energy disruptions, supply chain issues, and rising material costs. But Julius Berger said it stayed steady through smart buying, cost management, and diverse revenue sources.
Lubasch summed it up: “We will continue to build on this foundation by delivering complex projects reliably, maintaining high technical standards and creating sustainable value for shareholders and stakeholders.”
With over 60 years in business and more than 750 projects completed, Julius Berger says it’s focused on expanding infrastructure work in Nigeria and the wider region.
