Karachi, February 24, 2026 – Unilever Pakistan Foods Limited announced a 15% decline in profit after tax for the year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting higher tax payments as a key factor impacting net earnings. The company reported a profit after tax of Rs5.95 billion, down from Rs6.97 billion in 2024.
The board of directors approved the audited financial results on February 24, 2026, and noted that the company paid Rs3.77 billion in income tax for CY25, compared to Rs3.06 billion the previous year.
Despite the decline in net profit, Unilever Pakistan delivered a strong 20.4% growth in net sales, driven by robust volume growth across all product segments, with Knorr Noodles leading the performance. The company maintained a gross margin of 38.6%, slightly higher than the previous year.
The earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs934, a decrease of Rs161 from 2024, reflecting the maturity of tax credits and a reduction in other income.
In light of the financial results, the board recommended a final cash dividend of Rs216 per ordinary share, in addition to an interim dividend of Rs1,435 per share already paid during the year.
Looking ahead, Unilever Pakistan highlighted that while the macroeconomic environment in Pakistan shows signs of stabilization, challenges remain. Factors such as inflationary pressures, currency fluctuations, and ongoing IMF engagement continue to impact the business landscape.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to closely monitor costs, implement prudent pricing adjustments, and safeguard margins, ensuring sustained value for consumers and shareholders amid a delicate operating environment.
