Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has released the transcript of its earnings call for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported an 8% consolidated revenue growth for the quarter, driven by a 7% underlying sales growth (USG), primarily volume-led.
For the financial year 2026, HUL reported a turnover of ₹63,763 crore with 5% USG. The company highlighted a consistent step-up in growth through the year, with the second half performing better than the first. This improved momentum is attributed to strategic actions in portfolio management, execution, and investment, including a ₹2,000 crore capex investment in premium formats of Beauty and Home Care.
The company's growth agenda is anchored on four key priorities: radical consumer segmentation, creating desire at scale through the SASSY framework (Science, Aesthetics, Sensorials, Said by others, and Youthful), future-proofing the frontline machine through an omni-channel approach, and being choiceful in investments.
Profit After Tax (PAT) before exceptional items for the quarter grew 4% year-on-year to ₹2,711 crore. For the full year, PAT before exceptional items was ₹10,324 crore. EBITDA grew 6% year-on-year for the quarter, with an EBITDA margin of 23.7%. Full-year EBITDA grew by 2%, with investments in A&P increasing by ₹270 crore.
The company declared a final dividend of ₹22 per share, taking the total dividend for the year to ₹41 per share. HUL expects FY27 to be better than FY26, with a mid-term margin guidance remaining around 22.5% to 23.5%. The company is navigating geopolitical volatility and commodity price increases through operational discipline, cost savings, and calibrated price increases.
