Revenue had remained in a narrow range of ₹16,241 crore to ₹16,514 crore over the previous four quarters. In the June quarter, it rose to ₹17,341 crore, marking a 5% year-on-year increase and a 6% sequential increase from the prior quarter. This movement breaks the previous pattern of flat sales.
Net profit fell from ₹2,768 crore to ₹2,680 crore year-on-year. Profit before tax actually increased from ₹3,304 crore to ₹3,632 crore, a rise of 10%. However, tax expense jumped from ₹535 crore to ₹952 crore, an increase of 78%. The effective tax rate rose from approximately 16% to 26%. This larger tax charge more than offset the growth in pre-tax profit, resulting in a lower net profit.
Profit before tax, exceptional items, and finance costs provides a view of the core business performance before financing and one-time items. This measure increased from ₹3,558 crore in the same quarter last year to ₹3,782 crore this quarter, a growth of 6%. This pace closely matches the 5% revenue growth, indicating that underlying profitability relative to sales remained stable.
In the current quarter, cost of materials consumed was ₹5,429 crore and purchases of stock in trade were ₹3,321 crore, together accounting for roughly 50% of revenue. Employee benefit expense was ₹769 crore (4.4% of revenue) and depreciation was ₹353 crore (2.0% of revenue). These four categories total ₹9,872 crore, representing 57% of total revenue.

Hindustan Unilever reported a 5% increase in revenue from operations for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, reaching ₹17,341 crore. Net profit declined by 3% to ₹2,680 crore, primarily because tax expense surged 78%. Profit before tax, exceptional items, and finance costs grew at a similar pace to revenue, indicating that underlying profitability was broadly stable. Finance costs also continued their downward trend.
Exceptional items recorded a net loss of ₹75 crore this quarter, compared to a loss of ₹127 crore a year earlier. Sequentially, the swing was significant: the previous quarter reported a net exceptional gain of ₹247 crore, while this quarter recorded a loss, a negative swing of ₹322 crore that drove the sequential decline in net profit. Finance costs continued to decline, falling from ₹127 crore a year ago to ₹75 crore this quarter, a 41% reduction. This follows a consistent downward trend over the past year, from ₹129 crore in the second quarter to ₹76 crore in the fourth quarter.
Revenue grew 5% year-on-year to ₹17,341 crore, ending a stretch of flat sales. Underlying profitability before tax, exceptional items, and finance costs grew at a similar rate, showing stable core performance. Net profit declined by 3% because tax expense surged 78%, absorbing the gains from pre-tax profit growth. The quarter highlights a clear divergence between top-line expansion and bottom-line results, with the tax charge as the primary driver of the net profit decline. Finance costs continued to trend lower, offering a partial offset.
