Did UL Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Against a consensus EPS estimate of $1.72, the consumer goods giant pointed to a single defining event as the year's strategic centerpiece: the December completion of the Ice Cream demerger, which generated a $3.37 billion gain and allowed management to sharpen focus on its core Power Brands, which grew at 4.3% underlying sales growth and represent 78% of turnover. Underlying operating margin expanded 60 basis points to 20.0%, supported by $670.00 million in cumulative productivity savings delivered ahead of schedule. Shares dipped modestly around the ex-dividend date, though investor attention has since pivoted to 2026 guidance, where Unilever expects growth at the bottom end of its 4-6% multi-year range amid slower market conditions, alongside a modest further margin improvement.

Key Takeaways

  • Power Brands led growth at 4.3% USG with 2.2% volume
  • Personal Care delivered strongest segment USG at 4.7%
  • Gross margin expanded 20bps to 46.9% through productivity initiatives and positive mix
  • Overhead costs improved 50bps driven by productivity programme ahead of plan
  • Decisive business resets in Indonesia and China drove improvement in second half
  • North America outperformed with 5.3% USG and 3.8% volume growth
  • Premium innovations and social-first demand generation drove volume-led growth

“In 2025 we became a simpler, sharper, and faster Unilever, delivering our commitment to volume growth, positive mix and strong gross margin. Our underlying sales growth improved throughout the year as we landed a strong innovation plan, drove improvements in key emerging markets and successfully completed the Ice Cream demerger.”
