MTN Cameroon has reported strong financial results for the first nine months of 2025, recording a 20.4% year-on-year increase in revenue, driven by sustained commercial performance and rising demand for data and digital services.
MTN Group’s latest operational update shows that the Cameroonian subsidiary generated 9.87 billion rand (approximately CFA 321 billion) between January and September 2025, compared with 8.19 billion rand over the same period last year. The company attributed the surge to a favourable revenue mix, improved market execution, and growing customer uptake across core business segments.
Profitability also strengthened during the period. MTN Cameroon’s EBITDA margin rose by 4.9 percentage points to reach 44.2%, reflecting continued cost-efficiency efforts and disciplined operational management.
The operator’s subscriber base expanded steadily, reaching 12.77 million users as of 30 September 2025. According to the Group, growth was particularly supported by higher data consumption, increased adoption of value-added services, and strong network monetisation.
MTN Cameroon’s performance stands out within the Group’s Francophone Africa cluster, which showed mixed results. While MTN Ghana led regional growth with a 35.9% revenue increase, MTN Côte d’Ivoire recorded a modest 2.9% rise, and MTN Benin saw revenues decline by 17.9%.
Despite the overall positive trajectory, MTN cautioned that sustaining momentum will require continuous investment and efficient cost management amid increasing competition and potential regulatory pressures in the Cameroonian market.
MTN Cameroon remains one of the Group’s key contributors in Central Africa, supported by ongoing network expansion and rising demand for mobile internet and digital financial services.
