British consumer goods giant Unilever on Thursday announced a small rise in annual profits, having spun off its ice cream division, as it warned of “slower market conditions” for 2026.
Net profit from brands retained at the end of 2025 advanced 4.6 percent to 5.7 billion euros ($6.8 billion), Unilever said in a statement, while revenue slipped 3.8 percent to 50.5 billion euros.
“In 2025 we became a simpler, sharper, and faster Unilever,” chief executive Fernando Fernandez said in a statement.
“We are moving at speed to build a business that drives desire at scale in our brands, execution excellence across all channels, and cost discipline.”
