Vitafoam Nigeria Plc has recorded its highest performance in five years, with a profit after tax that increased by N14.5 billion, a 1,407 percent rise from the N952 million it posted in 2024, a significant turnaround after several years of pressured earnings.
BusinessDay’s review of the foam and bedding manufacturer’s recent financial performance shows that profit after tax stood at N4.6 billion in 2021, before easing slightly to N4.5 billion in 2022 and N4.4 billion in 2023. Profitability, however, declined to N952 million in 2024, as rising input costs, foreign exchange volatility, and weakening consumer demand significantly impacted margins.
The strong profitability was supported was supported robust revenue growth. Vitafoam’s revenue has risen consistently over the past five years, increasing from N35.4 billion in 2021 to N46.3 billion in 2022. The last three years have been positive for the company, going from N52.9 billion in 2023 to N82.6 billion in 2024, before accelerating further to N111.4 billion in 2025.
The steady expansion in revenue points to sustained demand for Vitafoam’s products across its core markets, as well as the impact of price adjustments implemented to offset higher production costs.

The latest results are likely to boost investor confidence in the stock, particularly after the sharp earnings decline recorded in 2024. With revenue at a five-year high and profitability restored, analysts say Vitafoam appears better positioned to navigate ongoing economic uncertainties, although risks linked to inflation, exchange rate volatility, and consumer spending remain.
With the share price at N94 as of 29 December, stakeholders earned a share capital of 625,422. Vitafoam began the year with a share price of N23 and has since gained 311 percent on that price valuation, ranking it 10th on the NGX in terms of year-to-date performance.
Vitafoam operates in a sector that has been under considerable pressure from rising energy costs, high inflation, and currency depreciation, which have increased the cost of raw materials, many of which are imported. Despite these headwinds, the company’s 2025 performance places it among the standout performers in Nigeria’s consumer goods and manufacturing space.
Taiwo Adeniyi, group managing director and CEO of Vitafoam, remarked: “This remarkable performance demonstrates our unwavering commitment to operational excellence, cost efficiency, and sustainable value creation for shareholders.
“We are delighted with our strong performance this year, particularly the significant growth in operating profit and the marked improvement in cost efficiency. These results reaffirm the success of our strategic initiatives centered on financial discipline, brand strength, and long-term value creation.”
“Our continued investments in operational efficiency, product innovation, and sustainable energy solutions position Vitafoam for sustained growth in the coming year,” he added.
As Nigeria’s manufacturing sector continues to adjust to a volatile macroeconomic landscape, Vitafoam’s 2025 performance highlights the potential for well-managed firms to rebound strongly, even after periods of severe earnings pressure.
