Mr Agbebaku stated that the third quarter of 2025 saw a seasonal demand decline and a one-off impairment charge linked to the integration of Distell Wines and Spirits Nigeria Ltd.
He said these factors led to a net loss in the quarter.
However, he expressed optimism that a rebound was expected in the final quarter due to festive season demand.
Mr Agbebaku said the board expected the full-year results to remain positive.
He appreciated shareholders for their unwavering support, which had enabled the company to navigate challenges and maintain a path towards sustained growth.
