East African Breweries (EABL) PLC has posted a full year net profit of Ksh 12.2 billion, representing a growth of 12pc driven by higher revenue during the period.
In the year ended 30th June 2025, EABL saw its net revenue increase 3.8pc to Ksh 128.8 billion. This was mainly driven by improved macroeconomic conditions, declining interest rates and an appreciating Kenyan shilling against major currencies.
The brewer booked a cumulative forex gain of Ksh 313 million against a loss of Ksh 3.9 billion in the 2024 financial year which was ravaged by unfavourable strengthening of world currencies.
Total debt reduced by Ksh 8.3 billion contributing to lower finance costs.
The brewer is however concerned about the proliferation of Illicit trade, high cost of Inputs and raw materials used in its processes and Consumer spending pressure that are hurting its growth.
East African Breweries has recommended a final dividend of Ksh 5.50 per share which in addition to the interim dividend pushes up the total dividend to 8 shillings per share.
