Unilever kicks off 2025 with solid growth as Ice-Cream division prepares for split
By Felicia Nwosu
Unilever is charging into 2025 with renewed momentum, as the company reported a 3 percent rise in underlying sales for the first quarter, fueled by strong performances from key brands like Dove, which posted an impressive 8 percent sales increase.
The consumer goods giant said on Thursday that it remains firmly on course to meet its annual targets, even as it rolls out an ambitious turnaround strategy under its newly appointed chief executive and works toward separating its ice-cream operations into a standalone business.
Despite the uplift in core sales, overall turnover dipped slightly by 0.9 percent year-on-year to 14.8 billion euros, equivalent to roughly $16.75 billion, a decline attributed to business divestitures and unfavorable currency movements.
Unilever’s leadership expressed confidence that these early results mark a promising start to a pivotal year of transformation and strategic repositioning.
