Transcorp Hotels Q1 2026 profit up 15% on N22.41bn revenue

Transcorp Hotels Plc has reported a strong start to its 2026 financial year, posting a revenue of N22.41 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The figure represents a 9 per cent increase compared to N20.64 billion recorded in the same period of 2025, reflecting continued growth in its hospitality operations across the African market.

In its unaudited financial statement, the company said the performance was driven by disciplined execution, operational efficiency, and sustained demand for its services.

Profit rises as margins improve

Beyond revenue growth, Transcorp Hotels also recorded a 15 per cent increase in Profit Before Tax during the period under review.

Gross profit margins expanded to 77 per cent, a development the company attributed to tighter cost management and improved operational systems.

The company also noted a reduction in its cost of sales margin, which fell from 25 per cent in Q1 2025 to 23 per cent in Q1 2026.

The Chief Finance Officer, Oluwatobiloba Ojediran, said the results reflect a balance between efficiency and customer experience, stressing that cost optimisation did not affect service delivery.
