PRESS RELEASE

NNPC Delivers ₦7.2 Trillion Profit as Production Reaches Multi-Year Highs
...Declares ₦5.8 Trillion Dividend

NNPC Limited today announced audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025, following its Annual General Meeting and second Earnings Call with financial and business analysts. The results underline the Company’s growing earnings capacity and operational momentum and provide a stronger platform for growth.

Profit After Tax rose 33% to ₦7.2 trillion from ₦5.4 trillion in 2024, while revenue stood at ₦34.5 trillion. Revenue declined 24%, principally reflecting lower crude oil prices and reduced white product volumes following market deregulation in 2024. Stronger earnings despite this pressure demonstrate the resilience of NNPC Limited’s operations.

Key financial measures advanced: EBITDA rose 22% to ₦18.0 trillion; Earnings Per Share increased 32% to ₦35.9; operating cash flow grew 16% to ₦12.8 trillion; Return on Equity improved by 200 basis points to 16%; and the declared dividend increased 35% to ₦5.8 trillion.

Operational Highlights
Crude oil and condensate production averaged 1.77 million barrels per day, its highest level in five years. Natural gas output averaged 7.2 billion standard cubic feet per day, a three-year high.
Oil and condensate production totalled 565.8 million barrels, up 5%, with NNPC Limited’s equity share increasing 11% to 223.7 million barrels. Natural gas production reached 2,606.2 billion standard cubic feet, up 9%, while its equity share rose 11% to 1,154.9 billion standard cubic feet.

Progress across the portfolio included completion of the AKK River Niger crossing and full completion of the 40-inch by 623-kilometre Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano mainline. NNPC Limited commissioned the ANOH-OB3 Custody Transfer Metering Station and advanced the 300MMscfd ANOH Gas Processing Plant to start-up readiness. It also acquired 500 CNG-powered trucks, and adopted a Technical Equity Partnership Model for its refinery reform.

Talent-to-Value Transformation
NNPC Limited’s talent-to-value transformation is building the workforce needed to deliver its commercial priorities. In 2025, the Company employed 1,023 full-time employees including over 1,000 graduates who were recently deployed following a rigorous one-year internship and training programme. Women now hold 23% of leadership positions, compared with an industry average of 17%. Through its Talent- to-Value and Fit-for-Future strategy, the Company is combining experience with emerging talent, expanding digital and international exposure, and strengthening the capabilities required for sustained growth.
