GOIL PLC, one of Ghana’s biggest oil marketing companies, has announced a massive 54.8% profit increase for 2024. This is great news not just for the company, but also for shareholders and the Ghanaian economy as a whole.
Let’s explain what happened in simple terms — and why it matters.
GOIL’s Profit Jumps to GH₵84.7 Million in 2024
In 2024, GOIL made a profit of GH₵84.7 million, compared to GH₵54.7 million in 2023. That’s a huge improvement, even though the company had to deal with higher costs.
GOIL also:
- Increased its total assets to GH₵4.8 billion (a 20% rise)
- Grew its current assets (like cash and receivables) by 34%
- Improved its earnings per share (EPS) from GH₵0.140 to GH₵0.216 — a 54.3% increase
These numbers show that GOIL is growing stronger financially.
What Helped GOIL Make More Money?
Here are some reasons behind GOIL’s strong performance in 2024:
- Smart spending: Even though costs went up, the company managed its money wisely.
- Better sales: GOIL sold more fuel and other products, which brought in more revenue.
- New strategies: The company focused on expanding and improving services.
Despite a 20% increase in finance costs and an 11.2% rise in operational expenses, GOIL still made more profit. That’s a sign of strong leadership and a good business model.
Shareholders to Receive Dividends in 2025
If you’re a GOIL investor, here’s the good news:
The company has proposed a dividend of GH₵0.056 per share for 2024. That means shareholders will be paid a portion of the profits — a total of GH₵21.94 million will go to investors.
This shows that GOIL is committed to rewarding those who believe in its long-term growth.
GOIL Plans for 2025: Bigger Projects Ahead
During its 56th Annual General Meeting, GOIL shared big plans for the future:
- Two new LPG bottling plants will be built in Tema and Kumasi to support the government’s Cylinder Recirculation Model. These plants will have a combined storage capacity of 1,200 metric tonnes.
- GOIL will focus more on special sectors like aviation fuel, mining services, and auto-gas — all of which can boost revenue.
These projects are expected to create jobs and improve access to clean, safe energy.
What to Watch Out For
Even though GOIL had a strong year, there are still challenges ahead:
- Fuel sales volumes may fluctuate due to market competition.
- Debt and finance costs are rising, which means GOIL must manage borrowing carefully.
Still, the outlook remains positive, especially as Ghana’s economy stabilizes and fuel demand rises.
