Q3 Earnings | NB: Rising costs and currency pressures fuel ongoing losses Nigerian Breweries' Q3 2024 results showed a remarkable 82% Year-on-Year (y/y) revenue growth, attributed to higher pricing, market recovery, and the recent acquisition of Heineken Beverages (Holdings) Limited. The company's 9-month (9M) performance also followed this trend, growing by 76% compared to the same period in 2023. However, on a Quarter-on-Quarter (q/q) basis, revenue declined by 11%, reflecting seasonal effects —a similar pattern observed in Q3 2023, where revenue fell by 19% q/q.
