Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL) reported a mixed set of Q1 results 2027, with consolidated net profit declining 3% year-on-year to ₹2,673 crore, while revenue posted healthy double-digit growth. The FMCG giant said the profit decline was largely due to the impact of a one-off tax credit recorded in the corresponding quarter last year.
For the quarter ended June 30, FY27, the company’s total income increased 10% to ₹17,341 crore, compared with ₹15,757 crore a year earlier. HUL also recorded its highest growth in the last 13 quarters, supported by 10% underlying sales growth (USG), while turnover reached ₹17,184 crore. The Q1 results 2027 highlight the company’s ability to maintain demand despite a challenging operating environment.
Operating performance remained stable, with EBITDA rising to ₹3,947 crore from ₹3,640 crore in the year-ago period. However, the EBITDA margin narrowed to 22.76% from 23.1%, reflecting ongoing commodity inflation and cost pressures. Management said margins remained within the company’s guided range despite market volatility.
Business segments delivered broad-based growth. Home Care led with 14% USG, its strongest performance in three years, while Beauty & Wellbeing recorded 12% USG driven by premium skincare and hair care products. Personal Care grew 4%, supported by premium soaps and bodywash, while the Foods business posted 7% USG, helped by strong demand for lifestyle nutrition, coffee, and premium tea.
CEO and Managing Director Priya Nair said India’s demand environment remained stable despite global geopolitical uncertainty, adding that the company remains focused on volume-led growth. Looking ahead, HUL expects FY27 to outperform FY26, although commodity inflation is likely to keep margins under pressure. Following the announcement, HUL shares fell 3.19% to ₹2,105.30 on the NSE.
