Hindustan Unilever reported underlying volume growth of 4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, indicating steady consumer demand across categories despite a mixed macro environment.
The 4% volume expansion reflects improvement in offtake, supported by calibrated pricing actions and continued focus on core portfolios. Volume growth is a key metric for FMCG companies as it captures real demand trends, excluding the impact of pricing changes.
During the quarter, consolidated revenue from continuing operations rose 6% year-on-year to Rs 16,235 crore, while standalone revenue increased 4% to Rs 15,614 crore. EBITDA from continuing operations grew 3% on a consolidated basis to Rs 3,788 crore and 2% on a standalone basis to Rs 3,640 crore.
However, standalone PAT from continuing operations declined 15% year-on-year to Rs 2,590 crore, while consolidated PAT from continuing operations fell 30% to Rs 2,118 crore.
The company also reported exceptional items, including a Rs 4,611 crore gain from the demerger of its ice cream business. Discontinued operations contributed Rs 4,485 crore to PAT, lifting total consolidated PAT including discontinued operations by 121% to Rs 6,603 crore.
