Hindustan Unilever Q2 2026 Results: Revenue up 10% to ₹17,184 Crore, PAT declines 2%
Hindustan Unilever reported Q2 2026 results with revenue up 10% to ₹17,184 crore. EBITDA grew 8% to ₹3,947 crore, though margins slightly declined. Profit After Tax fell 2% to ₹2,680 crore due to a prior year tax credit. Home Care and Beauty & Wellbeing segments showed strong double-digit growth.
The results provide a clear picture of the company's quarterly performance, including key financial metrics and segment-wise growth. This information is material for investors and analysts.
While revenue and EBITDA showed positive growth, the decline in Profit After Tax and slight margin contraction prevent a strongly positive sentiment. The results are mixed.
Hindustan Unilever Limited announced its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, on July 28, 2026. The company reported its highest growth in 13 quarters, with total sales reaching ₹17,184 crores, a 10% increase year-on-year. EBITDA for the quarter was ₹3,947 crores, an 8% rise year-on-year, with an EBITDA margin of 23.0%, a 40 bps decline compared to the same period last year. Profit before tax before exceptional items grew by 9% to ₹3,707 crores. However, the reported Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹2,680 crores, a 2% decline year-on-year, attributed to a one-off tax credit in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Key segment performance highlights include Home Care, which delivered 14% growth (USG), its highest in three years, driven by fabric wash and household care innovations. Beauty & Wellbeing recorded 12% USG, with double-digit growth in premium skin care and hair care segments, including strong performance from Minimalist. Personal Care reported 4% USG, primarily driven by pricing due to palm oil inflation, with premium bars and bodywash showing strong momentum. Foods delivered 4% USG, driven by pricing and innovation.
The company also noted that exceptional items for the quarter included restructuring expenses of ₹115 crores and profit from the disposal of surplus assets of ₹45 crores.
