It appears that Oando Plc, a Nigerian oil and gas company, recorded a significant loss in the first quarter (Q1) and third quarter (Q3) of 2015.

According to reports, Oando Plc recorded a loss of N47.8 billion in the first quarter of 2015, which was a significant decline from the N2.4 billion profit it recorded in the same period of the previous year.

The company attributed the loss to a combination of factors, including a decline in crude oil prices, increased operating expenses, and a significant impairment charge on its assets.

In the third quarter of 2015, Oando Plc's loss further deepened to N64.4 billion, which was a significant increase from the N47.8 billion loss recorded in the first quarter of the year.

The company's revenue declined by 34% to N143.4 billion in the first quarter of 2015, compared to N218.4 billion in the same period of the previous year.

Oando Plc's financial performance in 2015 was also impacted by a significant impairment charge on its assets, which was a result of the decline in crude oil prices and the company's inability to recover its investment in some of its assets.

The company's financial performance in 2015 was a significant departure from its previous years' performance, and it highlighted the challenges faced by the Nigerian oil and gas industry as a result of the decline in crude oil prices.
