Operating income also turned positive, reaching $107.10 million in 2025, compared to a $35.10 million loss in 2024. Non-GAAP EBITDA improved to a $113.15 million profit, with an EBITDA margin of around 21.1%. The company's Q4 2025 DAU-to-MAU ratio stood at 57.8%, and 70% of Nigerian wallet monthly active users were using more than five products. Lending saw significant growth, with new loans originating up 285% to $938.3 million, and unique borrowers in Nigeria doubling to 4.6 million. Monthly average revenue per user increased 56% from $0.90 to $1.40. OPay's total assets grew 77% to $1.49 billion, and technology and development expenses declined as a percentage of revenue.
