STANDALONE RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30th JUNE 2024

4% Underlying Volume Growth, 2% Underlying Sales Growth, 23.8% EBITDA margin

Mumbai, 23rd July 2024: Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) announced its results for the quarter ended 30th June 2024.

June Quarter 2024 Results


HUL delivered a robust performance in JQ’24 with an Underlying Volume Growth1 (UVG) of 4%. Underlying Sales Growth2 (USG)
was 2% due to the impact of price reductions taken during the year as we passed on benefits of lower commodity prices to
consumers. EBITDA margin at 23.8% was up 20 bps YoY. Profit After Tax before exceptional items (PAT bei) and Profit After Tax
(PAT) both grew 3% YoY.

Home Care: Strong volume led performance across formats and segments
Home Care delivered a strong performance with 4% USG and high-single digit UVG. Fabric Wash grew volumes in high-single
digit led by structural actions taken across the portfolio, in both mass and premium segments. Household Care grew volumes
in mid-single digit driven by strong performance in premium dishwash portfolio. We continued to strengthen our core dishwash
portfolio by re-launching Vim bar with a superior formulation. Premiumisation journey in fabric wash liquids was further
bolstered by the expansion of Rin liquids.

Beauty & Wellbeing: Mid-single digit volume growth led by Hair


Beauty & Wellbeing delivered 3% USG with mid-single digit UVG. Hair Care grew volumes in double-digit driven by a strong
performance in Sunsilk, Clinic Plus and Dove. Skin care and Colour cosmetics had a muted volume performance in the quarter
driven by decline in mass portfolio. Investments in channels as well as formats of the future and premium portfolio continued
to yield healthy results. During the quarter, Dove glycolic hydration range, Vaseline gluta-hya overnight lotion and a range of
innovations under Lakme skin and cosmetics capturing new trends were launched.

Personal Care: Resilient performance in Skin Cleansing


Personal Care delivered low-single digit UVG while USG declined by 5%. Skin Cleansing had a low-single digit volume growth
but revenue declined on account of pricing actions taken. Bodywash continues to strengthen market leadership. Oral Care
delivered mid-single digit growth driven by pricing. During the quarter, Lux and Lifebuoy were re-launched with a superior
product formulation.

Foods & Refreshment: Stable performance


Foods & Refreshment had a USG of 1% with volumes remaining stable. The category was impacted by a harsh summer season.
Nutrition Drinks (Horlicks & Boost) had subdued performance in the quarter albeit continuing to win competitively. Adult
nutrition range performed well. Tea continued to cement its market leadership through value and volume share gains. Coffee
delivered double digit growth driven by pricing. Foods grew volumes in low-single digit led by outperformance in Food Solutions,
Mayonnaise, Peanut Butter, and International sauces. Ice-cream delivered double-digit volume growth aided by strong launches
during the summer season. Bru’s specialty coffee range ‘Southern Trails’, Kwality Walls’ Strawberry Sundae, and Hellman’s 5
in 1 mayonnaise seasoning mix were launched in the quarter.

Stepping up Gross Margins and Investments


EBITDA margin at 23.8% was up by 20 bps versus JQ’23. Gross Margin improved 170 bps and A&P investments increased 90
bps. We continue to focus on building back gross margin through improved price coverage and net productivity measures while
stepping up investments behind our brands and future-fit capabilities to win competitively.

Rohit Jawa, CEO and Managing Director commented: ‘HUL’s first quarter performance reflects our decisive actions of
transforming our portfolio in high growth spaces aided by gradual recovery of rural markets. Our commitment to unlocking
access to aspiration, market making & premiumization supported by our distinctive capabilities is a key driver of our
competitive edge.
We continue to focus on driving competitive volume growth, generating fuel to invest behind our brands and making our
business future fit. We remain confident of the medium to long term potential of Indian FMCG sector. With our strong brands,
execution prowess and distribution might, HUL is well positioned to leverage this growth opportunity as we continue
transforming our business to outperform.’
