Telecommunications giant MTN Ghana (Scancom PLC) delivered a strong financial performance in the 2025 financial year, reporting a 55.9 percent surge in profit after tax to GHS 7.84 billion. The impressive growth enabled the company to contribute more than GHS 10.5 billion in direct and indirect taxes to the government, up from GHS 8.6 billion in 2024.
The company’s profit growth was driven by a 36.2 percent increase in service revenue, which rose to GHS 24.4 billion. MTN Ghana also recorded solid operational efficiency, with EBITDA climbing 43.5 percent to GHS 14.7 billion and achieving a strong margin of 60.1 percent.
Total tax payments reached GHS 10.5 billion during the year, in addition to GHS 1.3 billion paid in various fees and levies, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the country’s largest corporate taxpayers.
Data services remained a major growth driver, with data revenue increasing by 48.8 percent. The company reported 19.9 million active data users by the end of the year. Digital revenue also recorded a sharp rise of 109.9 percent, reflecting growing demand for digital services.
Mobile Money (MoMo) services continued to expand, with active users rising by 12.3 percent to 19.3 million. This growth helped drive a 35.7 percent increase in MoMo revenue, underscoring the importance of financial technology services to the company’s overall performance.
The broader macroeconomic environment also supported growth. A stabilizing Ghanaian cedi and lower inflation levels contributed to improved consumer confidence and spending power throughout the year.
MTN Ghana invested GHS 6.4 billion in infrastructure in 2025, expanding network capacity and increasing 4G coverage to 99.2 percent of the population. The company’s total mobile subscriber base grew by 9.2 percent to 31.2 million. Following the strong results, the board has recommended a final dividend of GHS 0.40 per share for shareholders.
