Unilever reports Q3 sales rise and lifts full-year growth outlook

Unilever lifts full-year growth outlook

Unilever PLC reported third-quarter turnover of €13.3 billion, up 6.7% year over year, and boosted its full-year growth outlook. The company said growth in beauty and personal care helped drive the quarterly result, which exceeded sales estimates.

The reported turnover was 6.7% higher than a year earlier. The updated full-year outlook is an outlook rather than a realized result, and the supplied reporting does not provide the prior guidance or a numerical comparison with it.

Q3 trading statement call

Unilever held its third-quarter sales and trading statement call on October 28, 2026. CEO and Director Fernando Fernandez opened the call, while CFO Srinivas Phatak was also listed among the company participants. Unilever published a slide deck in conjunction with the event.

The available transcript excerpt confirms the event and the named executives but does not include enough of the prepared remarks to establish additional sales figures, underlying growth measures, volume and price changes, or segment-level performance.

Beauty and personal care drove reported growth

The reporting attributed Unilever’s third-quarter performance to strong growth in beauty and personal care. No sales amounts or growth rates for those business areas are available in the reviewed evidence, so the contribution cannot be quantified from the material provided.

The reported €13.3 billion refers to company turnover for the third quarter, not to the value of beauty and personal care sales alone. The available sources also do not establish how much of the increase came from pricing, volume, mix, or currency movements.

Evidence limits on the trading update

The reviewed record confirms Unilever’s third-quarter turnover, year-over-year growth, stronger beauty and personal care performance, raised full-year outlook and associated call materials. It does not provide a full set of comparable operating metrics or a complete explanation of the forecast change.

A separate transcript item concerning Hindustan Unilever’s Q2 2027 earnings call carries a primary-source designation in the supplied ledger, but its accessible text contains only security-verification content. It therefore adds no verifiable substantive facts to Unilever PLC’s trading update and does not broaden the article’s scope.
