The Company Legal form:
The Company was incorporated in NIgeria as a private limited liability company in 1956 and was converted to a public company in 1978. The merger of the Company with Elf Oil Nigeria Limited which commenced globally in November 1999 was completed in Nigeria in 2002. With this development, the authorised, issued and fully paid share capital was ₦148,541,000 made up of 297,082,000 ordinary shares of 50k each. In 2003, to mark the completion of its corporate mergers, Total Group worldwide reverted to its former name Total and adopted a new logo with a unifying design to express its corporate ambition.
With the capitalisation of the bonus issue of 42,440,228 ordinary shares of 50k each in March 2004, the authorised share capital became
₦169,760,918 made up of 339,521,837 ordinary shares of 50k each. 61.72% of the Company's ordinary shares were held by Total Societe Anonyme up until 2013 when a restructuring was concluded and Total Raffinage Marketing became the shareholders of 61.72% of Total Nigeria Plc (now TotalEnergies Marketing Nigeria Plc) while the remaining 38.28% are held by some members of the general public. Total Raffinage Marketing is now called TotalEnergies Marketing Services.
In 2021, Total Group worldwide changed its name to TotalEnergies and adopted a new logo, thereby anchoring the transformation into a broad energy business within the Company's identity. Accordingly, the Company changed its name from Total Nigeria Plc to TotalEnergies Marketing Nigeria Plc in the same period.

Significant events and transactions

-
Use of estimates and judgments
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Judgement
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows;
Lease term - Note 17 (iv)
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or years after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Asset retirement - Note 17 (iv)
Management is required to estimate asset retirement obligations relating to the dismantling and the restoration of leased sites. These estimates involve significant judgement regarding the expected costs and timing of decommissioning activities. Based on current assessments, the financial impact of these obligations are considered immaterial.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties at 31 March 2026 that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial period includes;
Measurement of defined benefit obligation: Key actuarial assumptions
The amount recognised in note 12 of the financial statements as employee benefits - measurement of the Company's employee benefits. This estimate relates to the discount rate, withdrawal, mortality and inflation rate applied in the computation of the Company's liabilities.
Measurement of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) allowance - Note 30(iv)
Information about measurement of trade receivables and contract assets: Key assumptions in determining the weighted-average loss rate.
Depreciation
Depreciation is based on management's estimates of asset useful lives and residual values, which may change over time.
Income and deferred tax - Note 11
The determination of income and deferred tax requires management judgement in estimating taxable profits and the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
Measurement of contingencies - Note 28
Recognition of contingencies - key assumptions about likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources.
Incremental borrowing rate - Note 23
Estimation of the applicable borrowing rates for lease liability.

New standards and interpretations
Amendments to Standards and Interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2026 and early application is permitted; however, the Company has not applied the amended standards in preparing these financial statements. Those Amendments to Standards and Interpretations which may be relevant to the Company are set out below.
The directors are of the opinion that the impact of the application of the relevant standards and interpretations will be as follows:

Summary of the requirements and assessment of impact
Amendment to
IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
Amendment to the
classification and measurement of financial instruments
May 2024
1 January 2026
On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS Accounting
Standards 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS Accounting Standards 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements not only for financial institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments:
The amendments in (b) are most relevant to financial institutions, but the amendments in (a), (c) and (d) are relevant to all entities.
The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IFRS 1
Hedge accounting by a
first-time adopter
July 2024
1 January 2026
This amendment clarifies the interaction between IFRS 1 and IFRS 9 regarding
hedge accounting on transition. It resolves a potential inconsistency between paragraph B6 of IFRS 1 and the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9. Specifically, the amendment confirms that a first-time adopter can only continue hedge accounting relationships at the date of transition if those relationships meet the qualifying criteria under IFRS 9. Hedging relationships that were valid under previous GAAP but do not comply with IFRS 9 must be discontinued on transition. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IFRS 7
Gain or loss on
derecognition.
July 2024
1 January 2026
The amendment clarifies wording in paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 regarding
disclosures related to gains or losses arising from the derecognition of financial assets. The previous wording included an obsolete reference to a paragraph that was removed when IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement was issued. The amendment corrects this reference to eliminate potential confusion and ensure consistent application of the disclosure requirements. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IFRS 7
Disclosure of deferred
difference between fair value and transaction price.
July 2024
1 January 2026
This amendment corrects an inconsistency between paragraph 28 of IFRS 7
and the related paragraph in the Implementation Guidance (IG). The inconsistency arose after a consequential amendment made to IFRS 7 following the issuance of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. While paragraph 28 was updated to align with IFRS 13's fair value concepts, the corresponding paragraph in the implementation guidance was not updated, resulting in conflicting wording regarding the disclosure of deferred differences between fair value and transaction price. The amendment updates the implementation guidance to ensure consistency with the revised requirements in paragraph 28. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IFRS 7
Introduction and credit
risk disclosures.
July 2024
1 January 2026
The amendment addresses a potential confusion by clarifying in paragraph IG1
that the guidance does not necessarily illustrate all the requirements in the referenced paragraphs of IFRS 7 and by simplifying some explanations. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IFRS 9
Lessee derecognition of
lease liabilities.
July 2024
1 January 2026
The amendment addresses a potential lack of clarity in the application of the
requirements in IFRS 9 to account for an extinguishment of a lessee's lease liability that arises because paragraph 2.1(b)(ii) of IFRS 9 includes a cross-reference to paragraph 3.3.1, but not also to paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion
add new disclosure for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and
update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Standard/Interpretation effective as at 31 March 2026

Effective date Periods beginning on or after
Summary of the requirements and assessment of impact
Amendment to
IFRS 9
Transaction price
July 2024
1 January 2026
The amendment addresses a potential confusion arising from a reference in
Appendix A to IFRS 9 to the definition of 'transaction price' in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers while term 'transaction price' is used in particular paragraphs of IFRS 9 with a meaning that is not necessarily consistent with the definition of that term in IFRS 15. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IFRS 10
Determination of a 'de
facto agent'
July 2024
1 January 2026
This amendment clarifies potential confusion in determining whether another
party is acting as a 'de facto agent' of an investor. The previous wording in paragraphs B73 and B74 of IFRS 10 was not fully aligned and could lead to inconsistent interpretations when assessing whether a party is acting on behalf of the investor. The amendment aligns the language in both paragraphs to ensure a consistent approach when evaluating whether relationships or decision-making rights indicate that another party is effectively acting as the investor's agent. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
Amendment to
IAS 7
Use of the Term "Cost
Method
July 2024
1 January 2026
This amendment clarifies wording in paragraph 37 of IAS 7 regarding cash
flows arising from dividends received. The term "cost method", previously used in the standard, is no longer defined within IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore created potential confusion in interpretation. The amendment removes the obsolete terminology and replaces it with language that aligns with current IFRS concepts for accounting for investments, thereby improving clarity and consistency in application. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.

Summary of the requirements and assessment of impact
IFRS 18
Presentation and
disclosure in financial statements
April 2024
1 January 2027
The objective of IFRS 18 is to set out requirements for the presentation and
disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements (financial statements) to help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entity's assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. [IFRS 18.1]
IFRS 18 applies to all financial statements that are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). [IFRS 18.2] Standards for recognising, measuring, and disclosing specific transactions are addressed in other Standards and Interpretations. [IFRS 18.4]
A complete set of financial statements comprises: [IFRS 18.10]
-a statement (or statements) of financial performance for the reporting period (presented as either a single statement or by presenting a statement of profit or loss immediately followed by a separate statement presenting comprehensive income beginning with profit and loss);
-a statement of financial position as at the end of the reporting period;
-a statement of changes in equity for the reporting period;
-a statement of cash flows for the reporting period;
-notes for the reporting period;
-comparative information in respect of the preceding period as specified by the standard;
-a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period if the entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements or reclassifies items in its financial statements (given that this results in material information).
The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the company's financial statements.
- Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
-
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss on a net basis as "Other income" (net foreign exchange gain) or "Other expenses" (net foreign exchange loss).

Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for contracts within the scope of IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' when a contract has been approved by both parties, each party's rights have been clearly identified, payment terms have been clearly identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to for the transfer of refined petroleum products and lubricants to the customer.
Definition of customer
A customer is a party that has contracted with the Company to obtain refined petroleum products and lubricants that are an output of the Company's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. A counterparty would not be a customer if it has entered into a contract to share in the risk and benefits that result from the activity or process.
Revenue streams
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of refined petroleum products and lubricants to its customers (see note 6). Other sources of revenue include sale of special fluids and solar products.
Performance obligations and revenue recognition policies
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer. Revenue from the sale of non-regulated products in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the received consideration or receivable, net of value adde tax, sales returns, trade discounts and volume rebates where applicable. Revenue for regulated products is measured at the regulated price of the products net of standard distribution cost directly recoverable from the prices of the regulated products.
The following table provides information about the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and the related revenue recognition policies.
Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, including significant payment terms.
Revenue recognition policies
Customers obtain control of products when the goods are delivered to and have
been accepted at their premises or picked up by the customer. Invoices are generated and revenue is recognised when the product is released. Credit sales are due for collection within 30 days. This applies to all sales products.
Revenue is recognised when the goods are released to nominated
transporter, delivered and have been accepted by customers at their premises or picked up by the customer.
Transaction price
Transaction price is the amount allocated to the performance obligations identified in the contract. It represents the amount of revenue recognised as those performance obligations are satisfied. Complexities may arise where a contract includes variable consideration, significant financing component or consideration payable to a customer.
Financing component
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Contract assets and liabilities
The Company recognises contract assets for unbilled revenue from lubricant sales and sales of refined petroleum products where right is conditioned on factors other than the passage of time. The Company recognises contract liability for consideration received for which performance obligation has not been met.
Disaggregation of revenue from contract with customers
The Company derives revenue mainly from two types of products, lubricants and refined petroleum products. Other sources of revenue include sale of special fluids and solar products. The Company has determined that the disaggregation of revenue based on the criteria of type of products meets the disclosure requirement of IFRS 15.
- Revenue and other income (cont'd)
- Other income
-
Revenue recognition
The Company recognises income from commission on sales at its bonjour shops as well as the rental of some of its space. The period of occupancy is the basis upon which rental income is recognised and the lease term is usually for 12 months. Rental income are for short term leases and are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
-
Finance income and finance costs
The Company's finance income comprises interest income on bank balances, deposit for unclaimed dividend and advances to employees. Interest income on bank balances, deposit for unclaimed dividend and advances to employees, is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance costs comprise interest on lease liabilities, interest on import loans, interest on bank overdrafts and interest on other loans. Interest expenses are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
the amortised cost of the financial liability.
- Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax (company income tax and Development levy) and deferred tax movement. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
The Company had determined that interest and penalties relating to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatments, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore are accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Current taxes
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.
The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and is assessed as follows:
Company income tax is computed on taxable profits (i.e the assessable profit after capital allowances (tax depreciation) and brought forward losses (if any) have been considered).
Development Levy is computed on assessable profits (i.e the profit of the Company that is liable to tax after exempting non-taxable income and subjecting to tax, expenses which were not wholly or exclusively incurred for the operations of the Company, but before the consideration of capital allowances and losses).
Total amount of tax payable under NTA 2025 is determined based on the higher of two components namely Company Income Tax (based on taxable income (or loss) for the year); and minimum effective tax. Taxes based on profit for the period are treated as income tax in line with IAS 12.
Minimum effective tax
Minimum effective tax (15% of adjusted net profit) is outside the scope of IAS 12 and therefore, are not presented as part of income tax expense in the profit or loss. Under the NTA 2025, a company must ensure that its effective tax rate for a financial year is not less than 15% of its Adjusted Net Profit. Where the company's effective tax rate is below 15%, the company must pay additional tax to bring the effective tax rate up to exactly 15%.
In line with the NTA 2025, minimum effective tax is determined at a base rate of 15% of the qualifying company's adjusted net profit. In defining effective tax rate, section 57 (5) states that "effective tax rate" means the rate produced by dividing the aggregate covered tax paid or payable by a company for a year of assessment by the profits of the company; and "profits" means the net profits before tax as reported in the audited financial statement less 5% of depreciation and personnel cost for the year. The NTA 2025 defines covered taxes as companies' income tax, petroleum profit tax, and hydrocarbon tax paid or payable, development levy, and priority sector tax credits while net income refers to the profit before tax as reported in the audited financial statements excluding franked investment income and unrealised gains or losses.
-
Income taxes (cont'd)
Where the minimum effective tax charge is higher than the Company Income Tax (CIT), a hybrid tax situation exists. In this situation, the CIT is recognised in the income tax expense line in the profit or loss and the excess amount is presented above the income tax line as minimum tax.
The Company offsets the tax assets arising from withholding tax (WHT) credits and current tax liabilities if, and only if, the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date and written down to the extent that it is no longer probable that future economic benefit would be realised.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences.
If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans of the Company. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met,
if the entity has the legal right and the intention to settle on a net basis
if the entity has the legal right to settle current tax amounts on a net basis and the deferred tax amounts are levied by the same taxing authority on the same entity or different entities that intend to realise the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
The Company has the legal right to settle current tax amounts on a net basis as the deferred tax amounts are levied by the same tax authority.
Accounting for uncertain tax treatments under IFRIC 23The Company's judgements with respect to income taxes are based on the likelihoods that the tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment that has been taken or is expected to be taken on its tax returns. The Company specifically reviews whether its tax treatments are consistent with requirements and recommendations of tax laws while ensuring its proper coverage of avoidable tax risks and exposures in the process.
The Company measures the impact of the uncertainty using the method that best predicts the resolution of the uncertainty; either the most likely amount method or the expected value method. Furthermore, the judgements and estimates made to recognise and measure the effect of uncertain tax treatments are reassessed whenever circumstances change or when there is new information that affects those judgements.

Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of Basic earnings per share to take into account the weighted average number of additional shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Property, plant and equipment
-
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost at initial recognition and cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses for subsequent recognition.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognised as an asset if;
it is possible that future economic benefits associates with the item will flow to the entity: and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are disclosed as work in progress. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use including, where applicable, the cost of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and borrowing costs on qualifying assets.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised in profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised on disposal or when it is withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal.
-
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
-
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated to their residual values using the straight-line method over their useful lives for current and comparative years as follows:
Type of asset Useful livesMotor vehicles 5 Years
Office equipment and furniture 4 years
Computer equipment and other tangibles 4 - 20 years
Plant, machinery and fittings 3 - 30 years
Buildings 10 - 25 years
Land Not depreciated
Capital work in progress and land are not depreciated and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment. The attributable cost of each asset is transferred to the relevant asset category immediately the asset is available for use and depreciated accordingly.
-
Recognition, derecognition and measurement
-
Intangible assets
-
Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are computer software and software licenses. These are capitalised on the basis of acquisition costs as well as costs incurred to bring the assets to use.
Intangible assets are derecognised upon sale. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset.
-
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific intangible asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
-
Amortisation of intangible assets
Amortisation is calculated on the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
Computer software and software licences have estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
-
Recognition and measurement
-
Dividend payable
An accrual is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the reporting year but not distributed at the end of the reporting year.
Any accrual made in respect of dividend payable is recognised as a deduction from equity.
-
Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets
Financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortised cost. The company also recognises loss allowances for ECLs on employee loan receivables which are disclosed as part of trade and other receivables. (See note 19)
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for bank balances, lease and loan receivables for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition, which are measured at 12-month ECLs. Loss allowance for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.
The Company's credit terms to customers vary from 30 days to 90 days depending on the nature of industry, customer preferences and negotiation. Based on the logistics, distribution and operational dynamics of our major customers, the significant increase credit risk threshold is set at 90 days.
The company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
- the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held).
- balances are over 90 days past due in line with the Company's provisioning matrix.
The Company applies simplified approach to determine impairment of trade receivables. The three-stage model is applied to cash and cash equivalent.
The simplified approach requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivables. This involves determining the expected loss rates using a provision matrix that is based on the Company's historical default rates observed over the expected life of the trade receivables and adjusted forward-looking estimates. This is then applied to the gross carrying amount of the trade receivables to arrive at the loss allowance for the period.
The three-stage approach assesses impairment based on changes in credit risk since initial recognition using the past due criterion and other qualitative indicators such as increase in political concerns or other macroeconomic factors and the risk of legal action, sanction or other regulatory penalties that may impair future financial performance.
-
Impairment (cont'd) Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value
of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 360 days past due; or
it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For customers, the Company makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due.
-
Impairment (cont'd) Measurement of ECLs
-
Non financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or Cash Generating Units (CGUs).
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Financial instruments
-
Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
The Company does not have any financial assets measured at FVOCI or FVTPL.

Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI - debt
investment; FVOCI - equity investment; or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting year following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cashflows.
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Assets at Fair value through OCI (FVOCI)
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in profit or loss.
When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses), and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
The Company has no debt instruments within this category.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets - Business model assessmentThe Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management's strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets:
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company's management;
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior years, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Transfer of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose consistent with the company's continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are merged and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets - Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interestFor the purposes of this assessment, 'principal' is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. 'Interest' is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
-
Financial instruments (cont'd)
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
prepayment and extension features; and
terms that limit the Company's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Financial assets - Subsequent measurement and gains and lossesFinancial assets at amortised cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost, net of impairment is recognised in the statement of financial position. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities - Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and lossesFinancial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss. The Company does not have any financial liabilities measured at FVTPL.
-
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
- Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
Share capital
The Company has only one class of shares namely ordinary shares. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. When new shares are issued, they are recorded in share capital at their par value. The excess of the issue price over the par value is recorded in the share premium reserve.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity.
-
Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method. Dividends paid to ordinary shareholders are included in financing activities. Interest paid is also included in financing activities while interest received is included in investing activities. Interest received on employee loans and receivables, foreign exchange differential and Interest on lease liabilities are included in operating activities.
-
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash balances with commercial banks and Total Treasury as well as call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
-
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of blended products/lubricants includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Inventory values are adjusted for obsolete, slow-moving or defective items.
The basis of costing inventories based on the product types are as follows:
Product Type
Cost Basis
Refined Petroleum Products (AGO, ATK, PMS, DPK, LPFO)
First In First Out (FIFO)
Packaging Materials, Solar Lamps, Lubricants, base oils, Greases, Special fuids and Car care products
Weighted Average Cost
Inventories-in-transit
Total purchase cost incurred at transaction date
-
Provisions
Provisions comprise liabilities for which the amount and the timing are uncertain. They arise from environmental risks, legal and tax risks, litigation and other risks. A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required and when a reliable estimate can be made regarding the amount of the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flow at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the value and the risk specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in profit or loss as a finance cost.
However, possible obligations depending on whether or not certain future events occur are disclosed as contingent liabilities.
- Prepayment
Prepayments represent amounts paid in advance for goods or services to be received in future periods. Prepayments are initially recognised at the amount of cash paid and are subsequently expensed to profit or loss in the period to which the related goods or services are consumed. Prepayments are classified as current assets when the underlying benefit is expected to be realised within twelve (12) months after the reporting date; otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets.
-
Employee benefits
Post-employment benefit
-
Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
In line with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act 2014, the Company has instituted a defined contribution pension scheme for its permanent staff. Employees contribute 8% of their Basic salary, Transport and Housing Allowances to the Fund on a monthly basis. The Company's contribution is 10% of each employee's Basic salary, Transport and Housing Allowances. Staff contributions to the scheme are funded through payroll deductions while the Company's contribution is recognised in profit or loss as staff costs in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
- Defined benefit plan i Gratuity scheme
The Company operates a gratuity scheme for its employees in service before January 2001. This is funded by the Company on a monthly basis, at a rate of contribution of 9.5% of total annual emolument and paid to Fund Managers chosen by each employee.
The Company's obligation are extinguished once the amounts have been transferred to the Fund Managers.
-
Other long-term employee benefits
The Company's other long-term employee benefits represents a Long Service Award scheme for a minimum milestone of ten
(10) years and the Total home ownership scheme (TEHOS) which is a one-off payment upon tenth anniversary. These schemes are instituted for all permanent employees. The Company's obligations in respect of these schemes are the amounts of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The liability duration of the scheme is estimated at 2.64 years. The Company has compared this with the Macaulay duration of the closest Federal Government of Nigeria bonds as at 31st December 2025 which were 2.52 years with a gross redemption yield of about 16.98%. Thus, we adopted a discount rate of 17%. The calculation is performed using the Projected Unit Credit method. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. This Scheme is not funded. The obligations are paid out of the Company's cash flows as and when due.
-
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, then they are discounted.
- Post-employment medical services
The Company's post-retirement medical coverage is for seven (7) years on early retirement or ten (10) years on normal retirement (i.e. at the retirement age of 60 years). This scheme is instituted for all permanent employees and is provided after the completion of employment via the Health Insurance Scheme offered third party providers. The Company's exposure under this arrangement is limited to premium payable to the providers. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. return for their service in the current and prior years. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The discount rate is a result of the Company's objective to ensure underlying cost inflation remains below country headline inflation having considered the weighted average of Seven (7) years yield on Federal Government of Nigeria issued bonds that have maturity dates approximating the term of the Company's obligation. The calculation is performed using the Projected Unit Credit method. Remeasurements which comprise actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Net interest expense and other expenses related to the post employment benefits are recognised in profit or loss. This Scheme is not funded. The obligations are paid out of the Company's cash flows as and when due.
Other benefits- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Defined contribution plan
-
Decommissioning cost
Provisions for costs to dismantle, remove or restore property, plant and equipment, including leased assets are recognised when the obligation arises, either at the commencement of the lease or as a result of using the underlying asset during the lease term. The provision represents management's best estimate of the expected expenditure required to restore the asset or site in accordance with the relevant contractual terms.
-
Government grant
Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) subsidises the cost of importation of certain refined petroleum products whose prices are regulated in the Nigerian market. The subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that they will be recovered and the Company has complied with the conditions attached to receiving the subsidy. The subsidies are recognised as a reduction to the landing cost of the subsidised petroleum product in the period in which the Company makes the determination that all conditions have been met and the amount will be recovered. Where the amounts relate to interest and foreign exchange differentials, they are recognised in profit or loss when there is reasonable assurance that the amounts will be recovered. (Note 30)

Operating Profit
Operating profit is the result generated from the continuing principal revenue producing activities of the Company as well as other income and expenses related to operating activities. Operating profit excludes net finance costs and income taxes.
-
Measurement of fair values
Some of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Final Accounts Manager (FAM) has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the Board of Directors.
The FAM regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the FAM assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
-
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
-
As a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position.

4.21 Leases (cont'd) Short-term leasesThe Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases. The Company recognises the
lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- As a lessor
-
As a lessee
The Company leases out trucks to its transporters and these are classified as finance leases.
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease.
As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset.
If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
The Company applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease and regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straightline basis over the lease term as part of 'other income'.

Seasonality and Segment Reporting Seasonality of Operations
The Company's operations are such that revenue and cost are not affected by the impact of seasonality.
Segment ReportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The Board has given the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) the power to assess the financial performance and position of the Company, allocate resources and make strategic decisions. Segment reports that are reported to the CEO includes items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenuesInformation reported to the Company's CEO for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is focused on the sales channels for the company's products (white products, lubricants and others). The principal sales channels are Network, General Trade and Aviation. The Company's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are therefore as follows: Network, General Trade and Aviation.
The following summary describes the operations of each reportable segment.
Reportable Segment OperationsNetwork Sales to service stations
General Trade Sales to corporate customers excluding customers in the aviation industry
Aviation Sales to customers in the aviation industry
Segment revenue reported below represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no inter-segment sales in the current period (2025: nil). Performance is measured based on segment which correspond with IFRS amounts in the Financial Statement.

11 Company Income Tax Income tax expense
The tax charge for the period has been computed after adjusting for certain items of expenditure and income, which are not deductible or chargeable for tax purposes and comprises:
Minimum TaxThe Company has considered the provisions of the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 (section 57 (1a) which provides that where, in any year of assessment, the effective tax rate, that is, covered taxes as a percentage of net income (adjusted net profit), of a company is less than 15%, such company shall recompute and pay an additional (top up) tax that makes its effective tax rate equal 15%. But, where a tax payer's covered taxes as a percentage of adjusted net profit is higher than the statutory minimum of 15%, the computed tax (CIT + Develeopment Levy) becomes payable. The Company's assessment based on the minimum effective tax legislation for the period ended 31 March 2026 is nil (31 March 2025: ₦1.11 billion). Minimum tax relating to prior period (₦1.11 billion) was computed in accordance to Company Income Tax Act (CITA) at 0.5% of gross turnover.
The Directors believe that the tax liabilities recognised represents best estimate based on their interpretation of the tax law.

- Company as a lessee (IFRS 16)
The Company leases service stations, storage facilities and staff buses. Service station leases typically run for a period of 10 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Option to renew is not legally enforceable as it is not unilateral and requires the consent of both parties. See note 17 (iv). Storage facilities leases run for 5 years. Staff bus leases typically run for 5 years which is the useful life of the asset.
Service station leases entered into are usually combined leases of land and buildings. The Company leases residential spaces with contract terms of one year. These leases are short term. See note 10.2 (Rent). The renewal option of these residential spaces is mostly at the sole instance of the Company. The renewal of these spaces is based on them fulfilling the business needs of the Company per time. The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for these leases. Lease payments on these short-term leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Information about leases for which the Company is a lessee is presented below:

The Company's service station lease agreements contain extension options exercisable by the Company. Where practicable, the Company seeks to include extension options in its leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Company but require the consent of the lessors. The Company assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options because the Company usually prepays its station leases for about 7 -10 years and due to the fact that the decision to renew is usually based on the results of an economic evaluation of each individual service station's performance to determine if it is finanically viable to extend the lease. The directors have concluded that it is not reasonably certain at commencement of the leases to determine whether or not the leases will be renewed.
The Company has estimated that there are no potential future lease payments as its current assessment is that it is not probable that the lease extention option would be exercised.
The Company has assessed that obligations arising from termination of leases remain insignificant. While decommissioning obligations exist for underground storage tanks at certain locations, these are expected to be minimal and associated decommissioning costs are assessed to be immaterial. Additionally, movable assets are reassigned to other locations at minimal transport cost.
