Unilever plc revealed on Thursday that its turnover in the first quarter of its fiscal 2025 declined by 0.9% compared to the same period in 2024 to land at €14.8 billion. Underlying sales growth came in at 3%.
By segment, Food generated €3.4 billion in turnover, Personal Care and Beauty and Wellbeing both amounted to €3.3 billion in sales, Home Care made up €3 billion, and Ice Cream generated €1.8 billion of revenue.
"We have started the year with a resilient performance. First quarter underlying sales growth of 3% reflects the strength of our increasingly premium and innovation-led portfolio in developed markets. We have interventions in place in some emerging markets to step up growth in the remainder of the year," CEO Fernando Fernandez commented on the results.
