Nairobi Business Ventures PLC (NBV) reported an 11% decline in profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2025, falling to KSh 32.2 million. This drop was largely due to an 88% collapse in its standalone trading arm, despite growth in its aviation and automotive divisions.

• Group revenue plummeted by 37% to KSh 508.0 million, primarily driven by the trading division's revenue shrinking by almost 90% to KSh 48.9 million.
• NBV, initially a shoe retailer, transformed into a diversified holding company after a 2020 investment by Dubai-based Delta International FZE, acquiring Delta Auto, Air Direct, and AMSL.
• While the aviation division saw revenue surge by 79% and the automotive division maintained its contribution, the trading arm's significant decline resulted in a standalone loss of KSh 4.4 million.
