HUL’s 5% Underlying Sales Growth and 6% PAT growth are largely in line with FMCG sector expectations amid stable demand recovery. Margin contraction of 130 bps was expected as the company ramped up investments in innovations and premiumisation.
Rohit Jawa, CEO and Managing Director, commented: “FMCG demand has continued to remain stable, with a gradual uptick in recency. Encouraged by favourable macro-economic indicators, we strategically stepped up our investments to effectively advance our portfolio transformation agenda in this quarter. As a result, we delivered competitive, broad-based growth with an Underlying Sales Growth of 5%, driven by an Underlying Volume Growth of 4%, at a consolidated level. Going forward, I expect this gradual recovery to be sustained. I am confident that the ASPIRE strategy will further strengthen our presence in segments and channels of the future, powered by unmissably superior brands, heightened innovation intensity and digital media models, to deliver competitive volume-led growth and create long-term shareholder value.”
