GUINNESS NIGERIA RECORDS ₦70BN NET SALES IN 9 MONTHS

Speaking on the development, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, of Guinness Nigeria Plc, Mr. Peter Ndegwa, observed that the third quarter sales were impacted by a tough operating environment and the lapping of a very strong quarter in the previous year – particularly with distribution gains for the Orijin brand.

“The economic slowdown and rise in inflation continue to cause a shift towards lower margin value products. However, we are starting to make progress in the broadening of our portfolio and also seeing resilience in our core brands.

“We are also focused on driving efficiency throughout our operations to address the continuing pressure on margins. We anticipate that the year will be challenging as we incur one-off costs to reshape our business and continue to broaden our portfolio in order to drive future growth,” he said.
