Commenting on the result, the group managing director/Chief Executive Officer, Oscar Onyema said “NGX group continued to bed-down it’s operations post demutualisation and restructuring. Despite the economic headwinds affecting the country, as demonstrated by our year and results, we have continued to create lasting value. Our top line expansion drove a 70.6 per cent increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and Amortization EBITDA in 2022.

In the same year, the group leveraged it’s strong equity position and strategically increased it’s investment in an associate company in order to drive growth boost efficiency and further maximise overall shareholders value. However, the bottom line operating performance slipped mainly due to the interest expenses resulting from borrowing to fulfil the strategic acquisition mentioned above.

” Our growth will be driven by deepening value creation in subsidiaries and expansion into adjacent business.

“As an organization, we remain committed to becoming Africa preeminent integrated market infrastructure group.”
