India\u2019s largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company, Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL)<\/a>, announced its results for the July\u2013September quarter (Q2 FY26) on October 23, 2025, reporting a 4% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to \u20b92,694 crore, supported by a one-time tax gain. The company\u2019s revenue from operations rose 2% on-year to \u20b916,061 crore, reflecting a steady performance during a period marked by GST rate transitions and extended monsoon conditions across several regions.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Key Financial Highlights<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

HUL recorded a net positive impact of \u20b9184 crore from the resolution of prior-year tax matters between the UK and Indian tax authorities. However, profit after tax before exceptional items declined 4% year-on-year, while EBITDA margin came in at 23.2%, lower by 90 basis points from a year earlier due to higher investments in brand and market growth initiatives.<\/p>\n

On a standalone basis, the company\u2019s sales rose 1% to \u20b915,418 crore, and profit after tax increased 3% to \u20b92,690 crore. The Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of \u20b919 per share for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, reaffirming confidence in HUL\u2019s long-term growth trajectory in the FMCG sector<\/a>.<\/p>\n
