HINDUNILVRHindustan Unilever Ltd. released its consolidated results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company’s performance was impacted by temporary GST changes and persistent heavy rains across parts of the country.
The company’s turnover for the quarter stood at ₹16,061 crore.
Underlying Sales Growth (USG), which measures sales growth excluding acquisitions and disposals, came in at 2%. Underlying Volume Growth (UVG) was flat, reflecting stagnant consumer buying volume during the period.
Profit After Tax (PAT) grew by 4%. This growth was mainly driven by a one-off positive adjustment resulting from the resolution of old tax issues between the UK and Indian tax authorities.
The Board approved an Interim Dividend of ₹19 per share for the financial year ending March 31, 2026.
Home Care saw flat sales growth, though volumes grew in the mid-single digits. This was a strong performance considering the previous year’s high base. Fabric Wash volumes were up, led by strong double-digit growth in liquid detergents.
Beauty & Wellbeing delivered 5% sales growth. This was fueled by high-single-digit growth in Skin Care and sustained strong momentum in Health & Wellbeing, where OZiva saw triple-digit growth. Hair Care sales, however, dropped due to the temporary effects of GST rate changes.
Personal Care reported flat sales growth, primarily because of the GST rate transition. Premium categories performed well, with double-digit growth in premium soaps and the re-launch of Pears.
Foods achieved 3% sales growth. The Beverages business (Tea and Coffee) was a standout performer with double-digit growth. However, sales for Ice Cream were negatively affected by the long monsoon season and the GST transition.
Looking ahead, the company plans to focus on modernizing its core brands and investing to scale high-growth areas, positioning itself to accelerate volume-led growth in the medium to long term.
