Earnings Call Q4 2024
February 13, 2025 - AI Summary
Strong Full-Year Results: Unilever reported underlying sales growth of 4.2% for 2024, driven mainly by a volume growth of 2.9%. The gross margin increased by 280 basis points to 45%, allowing for increased brand and marketing investments of €0.9 billion (15.5% of turnover). Underlying operating profit grew 12.6% to €11.2 billion, demonstrating that the Growth Action Plan (GAP) initiated in late 2023 is starting to take effect.
Outlook for 2025: For the full year 2025, Unilever expects underlying sales growth to be within the 3-5% range. The company anticipates a slower start to the year, particularly in Q1, due to subdued market growth, but expects an improvement by the second half as prices increase amid rising commodity costs.
Productivity Program Progress: The company is ahead of schedule with its productivity program, having reduced 4,300 full-time roles by the end of 2024. Unilever expects to complete the total reduction of 7,500 roles by the end of 2025, contributing to cost savings that offset any operational challenges from the separation of the Ice Cream business.
