PAT ₹2,768 crores 🔼 6%  

Hindustan Unilever Ltd. reported a steady topline performance in Q1FY26, with sales rising 5% year-on-year to ₹16,323 crore.

A key factor influencing the reported net profit growth was a sharp drop in tax expenses for the quarter, driven by a re-estimation of historical tax provisions. This resulted in a favourable one-off impact, helping the company post a 6% increase in profit after tax to ₹2,768 crore, despite a 5% decline in PAT before exceptional items.

Additionally, the recent consolidation of skincare brand Minimalist marks a strategic step in strengthening HUL’s presence in the fast-growing premium beauty segment.

PAT ₹3,712 crores 🔼 2%

Overall, the company sold 5.28 lakh vehicles in the quarter.
