Safaricom has announced a 52.1% growth in group net income to KES.42.8billion for the six months to 30th September 2025, demonstrating resilience and growth across its Kenya and Ethiopia operations.
In its Kenya operations the company recorded a 22.6% growth in Net income to KES 58.2billion, 9.3% jump in service revenue to KES 194.0billion, and 13.1% growth in EBIT to KES 89.5billion.
In Ethiopia, losses reduced by 20.1% year-on-year to KES (15.5 billion), even as pricing and currency reform challenges persisted.
“This is a strong set of results, and a solid start to our Vision 2030 strategy cycle, maintaining our FY26 guidance. We remain focused on executing our strategy through segment-led execution and integrated solutions,” said Peter Ndegwa, Group CEO, Safaricom.
In addition to the strong set of results, the company continued to invest heavily in communities. Safaricom recently launched the Citizens of the Future program, an initiative set to benefit 500 schools with infrastructure upgrades, 10,000 scholarships and over 56,000 beneficiaries of digital literacy over the next five years.
“It has been 25 years of transforming lives, through innovation and community empowerment, a journey powered by purpose and collaboration. We have transformed the lives of over 22 million Kenyans through the Safaricom and M-PESA Foundations. We remain anchored in purpose, driving sustainable growth and positive change,” Ndegwa said.
Further, the company launched Safaricom Ethiopia Foundation in July this year, investing over ETB 650million in community projects under education, youth and economic empowerment, a demonstration of the company’s commitment to purpose before profit.
