Longhorn Publishers PLC

Longhorn Publishers PLC is a Kenya-based educational and general publishing company listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, producing textbooks, revision guides and general-interest titles for the Kenyan, Ugandan, Tanzanian, Rwandan and Zambian curricula, with operations spanning content development, printing/production and distribution to schools and retail booksellers. The Company's fiscal year ends 30 June. Longhorn has faced sustained financial distress over FY2020-FY2025, marked by recurring net losses, high finance costs on working-capital debt, a goodwill impairment in FY2023, and a steep erosion of shareholders' equity, alongside volatile revenue tied to curriculum-change cycles and government textbook procurement timing.
