Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has released the transcript of its earnings call for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The call, held on July 28, 2026, featured insights from Priya Nair (CEO & MD) and Niranjan Gupta (CFO).
During the quarter, HUL reported a turnover of ₹17,184 crore, achieving an Underlying Sales Growth (USG) of 10%, driven equally by volume and price. This marks the highest growth in 13 quarters, with a notable increase from 3% in the first half of FY26 to 10% in this quarter. The company highlighted its resilience in a volatile global environment, attributing its performance to supply chain resilience, portfolio strength, continued brand investment (A&P spends at ₹1,657 crore, highest in 11 quarters), and financial agility.
Key segment performances included Home Care delivering 14% USG, driven by high-single digit UVG, with Fabric Wash showing broad-based double-digit, volume-led growth. Beauty & Wellbeing reported 12% USG, with Hair Care achieving double-digit, volume-led growth and premium segments outperforming. Personal Care delivered 4% USG, primarily due to price increases in response to palm oil inflation, though premium bars and bodywash showed strong growth. The Foods segment reported a 7% USG, with Coffee and Lifestyle Nutrition (including Boost crossing ₹1,000 crore turnover milestone) showing strong momentum.
Looking ahead, HUL anticipates FY27 to be better than FY26, with continued stability in the FMCG demand space. While commodity and currency volatility persist, the company plans to manage this through structural savings, calibrated pricing, and judicious media investments, expecting EBITDA margins to remain within the guided range. HUL emphasized its strategy of focusing on key growth bets, market development, enhanced execution, and portfolio expansion through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
