Insights
The significant growth in Total’s operating profit can be attributed to the notable increase in revenue, largely driven by the remarkable expansion observed in the petroleum products division. This sector remains a significant contributor to the company’s overall revenue.
Furthermore, a noteworthy aspect of Total’s financial performance is the expansion of other expenses, primarily due to net foreign exchange losses. The net foreign exchange losses experienced a sharp increase, reaching N1.503 billion, in contrast to the absence of such losses in the previous reporting period.
