Unilever Nigeria Plc has posted a pretax profit of N51.7 billion for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, marking a 128.4% increase compared with 2024. The growth was primarily driven by a surge in revenue, with full-year sales rising to N214.3 billion from N149.5 billion the previous year, according to audited financial statements filed on the Nigerian Exchange.
Domestic sales accounted for 98.8% of total revenue, reflecting the company’s strong local consumer base, while exports made up the remainder. The ‘Foods’ segment alone generated N127.8 billion, highlighting the robust performance of its local operations.
In line with the strong results, the board declared a final dividend of N3.25 per 50 kobo ordinary share, amounting to N18.6 billion. The dividend will be paid from an after-tax profit of N32.1 billion on Friday, May 8, 2026, to registered shareholders.
Although the market has yet to fully react to Unilever Nigeria’s audited financials as of market open on March 24, 2026, the company’s shares have gained 30.56% year-to-date in 2026, currently trading at N94 per share with over 128 million shares exchanged so far.
