Airtel Africa profit plunges 112% on currency devaluation despite subscriber growth
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Airtel Africa, a telecommunications firm with a presence in 14 African countries, has seen its revenue dip 5.3% to $4.9 billion, hit by significant currency devaluations in Nigeria, Malawi, Zambia, and Kenya, according to the company’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. These headwinds also contributed to an $89 million loss after tax, a 111.9% dip from a $750 million profit recorded at the end of last year.

Despite profitability challenges, the telecom giant grew its entire customer base by 9% to reach 152.7 million. This positive performance comes despite challenging macroeconomic conditions that impacted profitability for most of the financial year.

Airtel Africa acknowledged the negative impact of currency fluctuations on business growth across the continent. Last quarter, the telco’s profits plunged by almost 99%—recording $2 million in profits compared with the $523 million it made in 2022—due to currency devaluation.

The company is actively reducing its US dollar debt burden and accumulating cash reserves at the holding company level to cover outstanding obligations.

Key takeaways:

Airtel Africa reported revenue of $4.9 billion for the year ended 31 March 2024

It lost $89 million in profits, down 111.9% 

Mobile money customers grew 20% to 38 million

“We will continue to focus on reducing our exposure to currency volatility. At the beginning of March, we launched our first buyback programme reflecting the strength of our financial position,” said Olusegun Ogunsanya, Airtel’s CEO, who is expected to retire next month.

“The growth opportunity that exists across our markets remains compelling, and we are well positioned to deliver against this opportunity. We will continue to focus on margin improvement from the recent level as we progress through the year.”

The telco’s financial statement also reported that its group mobile services revenue grew by 19.4%, driven by voice revenue growth of 11.9% and data revenue growth of 29.2%. Mobile money revenue grew by 32.8% in constant currency,  with a continued strong performance in East Africa of 36.0% and Francophone Africa of 22.3%.

Similarly, the telco experienced data and mobile money growth as the penetration of these services continued to rise, driving an increase in data customers to 64.4 million and a 20.7% increase in mobile money customers to 38 million.
