Hindustan Unilever Limited — PPTs, 22-01-2025: Investor Presentation
Hindustan Unilever Limited reported an Underlying Sales Growth (USG) of 2% with flat Underlying Volume Growth (UVG) for the quarter ended December 2024. The company achieved a turnover of ₹15,195 Crores, with a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹3,001 Crores, reflecting a 19% year-on-year increase, primarily due to profits from the divestment of its Pureit business. The EBITDA margin held steady at 23.5%.
Segment-wise, Home Care witnessed a robust 6% USG, driven by high-single digit growth in Fabric Wash and Household Care. Personal Care declined by 4%, attributed to a drop in the hygiene segment while Foods remained flat despite a strong performance in packaged offerings.
Looking ahead, the company anticipates continued challenges in consumption trends, particularly in urban markets, yet is focused on leveraging competitive advantages. The acquisition of Minimalist, a premium beauty brand, aligns with its strategy to enhance its Beauty and Wellbeing portfolio, indicating a proactive approach to tap into high-growth segments. Investors should monitor HUL’s performance amid these evolving market dynamics.
