Unilever Nigeria Plc has announced a pretax profit of N51.7 billion for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 — representing a significant 128.4% year-on-year increase, according to the company’s audited statements filed with the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX).
The strong financial performance was powered by robust revenue growth, with total sales climbing to N214.3 billion in 2025 from N149.5 billion the previous year. This surge highlights Unilever’s sustained leadership in the FMCG industry in Nigeria, even amid persistent challenges such as currency volatility and high inflation.
Domestic sales accounted for 98.8% of total revenue, underscoring the company’s deep connection to local consumers and resilience within the Nigeria economy. Exports contributed the remaining 1.2%, signaling a modest but growing international footprint. The ‘Foods’ division delivered the highest revenue, generating N127.8 billion, reaffirming the enduring strength of Unilever’s popular food brands across Nigerian households.
Industry analysts note that Unilever Nigeria’s results reflect not only a successful business strategy but also renewed consumer confidence in premium and accessible brands. The company’s continued investment in operational efficiency, innovation, and product distribution has positioned it as a key driver of growth in the Nigerian FMCG market.
As the Nigeria economy gradually stabilizes, Unilever Nigeria Plc appears well-positioned to expand its market share and capitalize on rising consumer demand in 2026.
