Home Care Leads Segment Growth

Home Care posted underlying sales growth (USG) of 22%, driven by double-digit underlying volume growth (UVG) in fabric wash and household care. Beauty and wellbeing delivered 16% USG, with hair care behind broad-based double-digit volume-led growth.

Personal care and foods each recorded 9% USG. Skin cleansing supported personal care, while packaged foods delivered broad-based, double-digit growth. Lifestyle nutrition also maintained strong momentum.

HUL FY27 Outlook

HUL expects its performance to improve in FY27 compared with FY26, supported by portfolio and channel transformation. However, it expects commodity inflation to continue in the near term. It has indicated that its consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin will remain in the 22-24% range.

The company said resilient domestic economic conditions and healthy macroeconomic indicators are supporting consumption. It also reiterated its focus on long-term capabilities and volume-led profit growth.
