In the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q3FY26), Hindustan Unilever Ltd reported total income of ₹16,580 crores. This represents a quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) increase of 1.2% from ₹16,388 crores in Q2FY26 and a year-over-year (YoY) growth of 3.3% from ₹16,050 crores in Q3FY25. These figures indicate steady revenue growth over both the quarterly and annual periods. The company’s ability to generate increased income reflects its robust market presence and effective sales strategies across its diverse product lines.
Profitability
Hindustan Unilever Ltd's profitability metrics present a mixed picture. The company recorded a profit before tax (PBT) of ₹2,926 crores in Q3FY26, which marks an 18.1% decline from the previous quarter's ₹3,573 crores and a 26.5% decrease from Q3FY25's ₹3,981 crores. Despite the drop in PBT, the profit after tax (PAT) for Q3FY26 surged to ₹6,603 crores, which is a substantial QoQ increase of 145.1% from ₹2,694 crores in Q2FY26 and a YoY increase of 120.9% from ₹2,989 crores in Q3FY25. The significant increase in PAT, despite lower PBT, could be attributed to changes in tax expenses or other financial adjustments. Earnings per share (EPS) followed a similar trend, rising to ₹28.12 from ₹11.43 in Q2FY26 and ₹12.70 in Q3FY25, reflecting the increased PAT.
Operating Metrics
The company's total expenses in Q3FY26 were ₹13,078 crores, showing a slight QoQ increase of 0.6% from ₹12,999 crores in Q2FY26 and a YoY increase of 4.0% from ₹12,576 crores in Q3FY25. This indicates controlled expense management relative to revenue growth. The tax expense decreased to ₹801 crores in Q3FY26, down by 8.6% from ₹876 crores in Q2FY26 and 19.3% from ₹993 crores in Q3FY25, which may have contributed to the higher net profit levels. These figures suggest efficiency in managing operational costs and tax liabilities, contributing to improved bottom-line figures despite variations in PBT.
