Karachi: The Board of Directors of Unilever Pakistan Foods Limited approved the un-audited condensed interim financial results for the six months ending June 30, 2025, during a meeting held on August 20, 2025. The company reported a sales growth driven by strong volumetric gains across all product segments, notably in Knorr Noodles and Unilever Food Solutions. Despite this growth, the company experienced a decline in its gross margin and earnings per share.

The sales for the first half of 2025 reached 19.59 billion, compared to 17.00 billion in the same period last year. However, the gross margin fell by a minor move, standing at 38.4%. The earnings per share saw a big move decrease, attributed to the maturity of tax credits and a decline in interest income.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company’s profit before taxation for the six months was 5.09 billion, down from 5.29 billion in the previous year. The profit after tax for the same period stood at 3.09 billion, experiencing a big move decrease from last year’s 3.80 billion.

The Board of Directors also declared a second interim cash dividend of Rs. 444 per ordinary share of Rs. 10 each, reflecting a big move decrease from the prior year’s Rs. 623 per share. This dividend will be payable to shareholders by the close of business on September 3, 2025.

Unilever Pakistan Foods Limited continues to navigate the financial landscape with strategic adjustments despite the challenges faced in the first half of the year. The company remains focused on product segment strengths to drive future performance.
