HUL Q3 FY26 Results: Profit Soars 121% to ₹6,603 Crore; Approves Zywie Ventures Stake Acquisition
Hindustan Unilever Limited reported a consolidated profit of ₹6,603 crore for Q3 FY26, up 121%. Consolidated sales from continuing operations increased by 6% to ₹16,235 crore. The Board approved acquiring the remaining 49% stake in Zywie Ventures Private Limited and divesting its stake in Nutritionalab Private Limited. Standalone profit rose 136% to ₹7,075 crore.
The substantial profit growth, coupled with strategic corporate actions like acquiring a stake in Zywie Ventures and the demerger of the ice cream business, indicates a significant impact on the company's financial performance and future strategy.
The significant year-on-year increase in profit (121% consolidated and 136% standalone) and the approval of strategic acquisitions contribute to a positive sentiment.
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) announced its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, following a Board Meeting on February 12, 2026. The company reported a consolidated profit after tax, including discontinued operations, of ₹6,603 crore for the quarter, a significant 121% increase compared to the previous year's ₹2,989 crore. Total sales from continuing operations grew by 6% to ₹16,235 crore.
The Board also approved the acquisition of the remaining 49% stake in Zywie Ventures Private Limited, a move that has no immediate financial impact on the current quarter's results. Additionally, the divestment of the Group's stake in Nutritionalab Private Limited was approved, also with no impact on the current financial period.
The company's financial performance reflects the impact of its ice cream business demerger into Kwality Wall's (India) Limited (KWIL), which became effective from December 1, 2025. The net results of the ice cream business from April 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025, are now disclosed as discontinued operations. The standalone profit after tax, including discontinued operations, grew by 136% to ₹7,075 crore for the quarter.
The financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee on February 11, 2026, and approved by the Board of Directors on February 12, 2026. The statutory auditors have issued an unmodified report on these results.
