During the corresponding period of the previous fiscal, the Bharti Airtel's subsidiary had reported a net profit of $88 million.
In a statement, the company said that it recorded a total revenue of $899 million during the period under review, 15.1 per cent higher than $781 million earned during the fourth quarter of FY 2019-20.
It said that by the end of the FY 2019-20, its customer base stood at 110.6 million, higher by 11.9 per cent on a year-on-year basis.
Airtel Africa's revenue in FY 2019-20 increased by 11.2 per cent to $3,422 million, said the statement.
Its net debt was $3,247 million compared to $4,005 million in March 2019. The $758 million reduction in net debt is due to an increase in cash of $680 million from the IPO proceeds and a $122 million proceeds from cancellation of derivatives.
"As a result, leverage improved to 2.1x at the end of March 2020 from 3.0x at the end of March 2019," it said.
