Hindustan Unilever's Q1 FY25 Financial Results Show Mixed Performance

Net Profit – Quarterly: Lowest at Rs 1,897.00 cr in the last five quarters.Profitability has declined in the short term.

Despite facing some challenges, Hindustan Unilever, one of the largest FMCG companies in India, has reported a flat financial performance for the quarter ending June 2024. However, there are some positive aspects to take note of.

According to the latest financial results declared on July 23, 2024, Hindustan Unilever has shown improvement in its overall score, which has increased from -6 to 3 in the last three months. This indicates that the company is taking steps in the right direction.

One of the key factors contributing to this improvement is the company’s strong operating cash flow, which has been consistently growing over the past three years. In the last fiscal year, Hindustan Unilever recorded the highest operating cash flow of Rs 15,469.00 crore, which is a positive sign for investors.

Another positive aspect is the company’s net sales, which have been on an upward trend in the last five quarters. In the most recent quarter, the net sales reached a high of Rs 15,707.00 crore, indicating a positive sales trend in the near term.

However, there are also some areas that need improvement. The non-operating income of the company has been increasing in the last five quarters, reaching a high of Rs 257.00 crore. While this may seem like a positive, it is important to note that this income is from non-business activities and may not be sustainable in the long run.

Additionally, the net profit of Hindustan Unilever has declined in the last five quarters, reaching a low of Rs 1,897.00 crore in the most recent quarter. This indicates a decline in profitability in the short term.

Overall, Hindustan Unilever’s financial results for the quarter ending June 2024 show a mixed performance. However, with a ‘Buy’ call from MarketsMOJO, investors may want to keep an eye on the company’s future developments.
