Unilever Nigeria Plc has reported strong financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, with revenue rising by 44 per cent and profit after tax doubling compared with the previous year. The company released its interim unaudited financial results this week.
The consumer goods manufacturer posted a turnover of N215 billion for the period under review, up from N150 billion in the corresponding period of 2024. Gross profit also grew by 32 per cent to N90 billion. Profit after tax rose to N31 billion, compared with N15 billion during the same period last year.
Speaking on the results, Mr. Tobi Adeniyi, Managing Director of Unilever Nigeria Plc, said the company’s financial performance reflects continued operational momentum and strong market demand.
He said the growth was supported by the company’s route-to-market expansion, agile operational structure, and strong consumer demand across its brands.
“Our fourth-quarter performance and strong full-year outcome reflect the continued momentum from our route-to-market expansion, an increasingly agile and well-optimised operational structure, and the robust demand we are seeing across our iconic brands, including Knorr, Close Up, Pepsodent, Vaseline and Rexona,” Adeniyi said.
He also highlighted the company’s heritage in Nigeria, noting its century-long presence in the country’s manufacturing sector.
“With a proud heritage of more than 100 years of manufacturing in Nigeria, every product and every experience reflect our legacy of innovation and our unwavering commitment to quality,” Adeniyi said.
Unilever Nigeria’s portfolio includes food, personal care, and home care products that are widely consumed across the country. The performance reflects resilience in demand for everyday consumer goods, even amid broader economic pressures such as inflation and foreign exchange volatility.
The company’s brands have remained competitive in key segments, contributing to sustained sales growth across regional markets. Revenue growth outpaced the rise in cost of sales, enabling a significant expansion in gross profit margins.
Unilever Nigeria’s results align with broader trends of recovery in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, where several players have reported improvements in revenue and profitability.
The results could signal growing consumer confidence and spending in core household and personal care categories.
Stronger financial performance may also support further investment in distribution networks, production capacity, and product innovation to maintain competitiveness.
Unilever Nigeria Plc delivered a 44 per cent increase in revenue and doubled its profit after tax to N31 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The results indicate continued growth momentum across the company’s core business segments, supported by operational efficiency and robust consumer demand.
