The company said in a statement that the improved result was driven by an increase in top line growth, cost controls of administrative expenses, as well as reduction of marketing and promotion expenses.
The company explained that the revenue was positively impacted by volume growth in Trophy Extra Special Stout, stressing that it would “indeed close the year strong with an improved balance sheet from prior year and value addition to its consumers even as the company gears up to excite its consumers even more as the peak season activities begin.”
Building on our company’s vision of ‘Bringing People Together for a Better World’, IB Plc within the quarter under review, supported some communities by making donations of Covid-19 relief items to support the fight against the pandemic across various states in Nigeria.
