The West African operations achieved a 9.7% increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) to N685.7-billion, however, the Ebitda margin declined by 2.5 percentage points to 50.9% owing to increased operating expenses.

Service revenue increased by 14.7% to N1.3-trillion, driven by voice and data revenue, which expanded 5.9% and 51.2% respectively.
