Unilever reports underlying sales growth of nearly 8% in second quarter
Unilever said Tuesday that its second-quarter sales growth beat expectations, as price increases outweighed a slight decline in volumes, and it raised full-year guidance.
"As underlying price growth has sequentially moderated from 13.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022, volumes were virtually flat with a step-up in performance in Beauty & Wellbeing and Personal Care offsetting volume declines elsewhere," it said. The company said first-half pretax profit was 5.27 billion euros compared with EUR4.36 billion a year earlier.
