Unilever Pakistan

Karachi, October 23, 2025 – Unilever Pakistan Foods Limited announced its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reporting a 16% drop in profit after tax compared to the same period last year.

According to results submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company posted a profit after tax of Rs4.57 billion during January–September 2025, down from Rs5.43 billion in the corresponding period of 2024. Consequently, earnings per share (EPS) declined to Rs717.93 from Rs852.77.

The company’s Board of Directors, in its meeting held on October 23, 2025, approved the un-audited condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period. Despite the dip in profit, Unilever Pakistan achieved a 21.3% growth in net sales, driven by strong volume growth across product segments, particularly Knorr Noodles, which led overall performance.

The company’s gross margin stood at 38.8%, reflecting a slight decrease of 32 basis points year-on-year, primarily due to incremental depreciation linked to capital investments.

In light of the financial performance, the board announced a third interim cash dividend of Rs466 per ordinary share of Rs10 each, compared to Rs511 per share during the same period last year.

Unilever Pakistan highlighted that while Pakistan’s macroeconomic situation has largely stabilized, rising inflation driven by food supply disruptions and increasing prices poses new challenges. Global institutions have revised downward their GDP growth forecasts for FY2025–26 due to climate-related impacts on agriculture and infrastructure.

Following the recent floods, Unilever Pakistan is ensuring product availability in affected regions by working closely with distribution partners. The company remains focused on supporting communities, managing operational risks, and maintaining business continuity amid climate-related disruptions.
