JAKARTA - PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk (UNVR) reported that until the third quarter of 2025, net profit reached IDR 1.2 trillion or experienced a significant increase that jumped by 117 percent.

The net profit growth was driven by net sales of IDR 9.4 trillion, or an increase of 12.4 percent year-on-year and 7.7 percent compared to the previous quarter.

In the same period, domestic sales also showed positive performance with an increase of 12.7 percent. Meanwhile, spending on advertising and promotions is maintained at the level of 8.8 percent of total net sales.

UNVR President Director Benjie Yap said the Company recorded an annual and quarterly increase in performance, both in terms of volume and value, driven by discipline in execution, sharper portfolio management, consumer-centric innovation, and sustainable investment in strengthening brand equity.

"This performance further confirms the Company's commitment to re-growing in the second half of 2025, reflecting the results of firm steps that have been taken to strengthen business foundations, increase competitiveness, and restore momentum in all categories," he said in his statement, Thursday, October 23.

He added that the company's entire business unit managed to record growth driven by increasing volume throughout the quarter, reflecting toughness and real progress in carrying out the transformation agenda.

"The results of our third quarter performance are a real step in the journey of our business recovery. We are starting to see the positive impact of structural change and the disciplinary steps we have taken over the past year," he explained.

Benjie added that earlier this year, the Company stated its commitment to returning growth in the second half of 2025, and is now starting to make it happen.

According to him, this momentum was built on a stronger business foundation, sharper execution, and the cooperation of the entire team in taking decisive steps to overcome operational challenges.

He added that in the midst of dynamic market dynamics, this achievement provides confidence that the Company is on the right track to build responsible, profitable, and sustainable momentum.

He added that entering the last quarter of this year, the Company remains focused on disciplined executions and strengthening foundations for sustainable growth.

According to him, although adjustments will be made in line with the latest global developments, management remains confident that the process of separating the Ice Cream business unit can be completed within this year, a strategic step to sharpen the focus of the portfolio and increase the organization's rarity.

"We are closing 2025 with full purpose and enthusiasm. The steps we have taken to simplify portfolios, invest in our brands, and build on execution advantages, have prepared us for long-term impacts," he said.

"Our commitment is to grow responsibly and continue to serve Indonesian families through superior brands that provide superior performance and make daily life better, while we prepare the foundation for sustainable performance in 2026 and beyond," he added.
