Lower sales, higher profits: TotalEnergies Ghana posts GH¢330million profit

TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana PLC has delivered a robust financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025, demonstrating that strategic efficiency can outweigh market volume. 

The petroleum marketing giant reported a consolidated profit after tax of GH¢330.4 million, marking a 13.2 per cent increase from the GH¢291.9 million achieved in 2024.

This profit growth was achieved despite a 6.1 per cent contraction in total revenue, which fell from GH¢7.02 billion to GH¢6.60 billion. 

The key driver of the improved profitability was an expansion in gross profit margin. The company's cost of sales decreased at a faster rate than its revenue, leading gross profit to jump by 16.4 per cent to GH¢929.1 million.

The bottom line was further strengthened by a reduction in finance costs, which more than halved from GH¢72.5 million in 2024 to GH¢34.0 million in 2025.

This decrease in borrowing expenses provided a major boost to pre-tax profits, which grew by 15.4 per cent to GH¢489.8 million.

The company's tax expense rose in line with its higher profitability, increasing to GH¢159.4 million from GH¢132.4 million. Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company stood at GH¢327.4 million.
