Key takeaways:
Transcorp Hotels' financial journey epitomises resilience in Nigeria's hospitality sector. After moderate fluctuations from 2015 to 2019, the company faced its greatest challenge in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the hospitality industry, slashing revenue by half and resulting in a substantial ₦6.3 billion loss.
The company recorded a spectacular turnaround in 2021 with 111% revenue growth, followed by three consecutive years of accelerating performance. By 2024, Transcorp Hotels had not only recovered but was thriving beyond all previous benchmarks, with revenue exceeding ₦70 billion and profits soaring to nearly ₦15 billion.
