Unilever Earnings: Strong Performance With Continued Volume-Led Growth
Unilever's third-quarter results for 2024 reflected ongoing positive momentum with underlying sales growth of 4.5%, driven by a 3.6% increase in volume. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of volume-led growth, reflecting broad-based improvements across categories. Beauty and well-being led the charge, growing 6.7%, largely due to 5.7% volume growth. Health and well-being and prestige beauty contributed double-digit growth, though prestige beauty was hit by softer US and Chinese markets. Personal care delivered 4.4% sales growth, propelled by solid volume increases from Dove, particularly in deodorants and skincare.
