Unilever Ghana recorded an outstanding performance in 2023, recording year-on-year growth in profit of 1,086.7%.
According to its 2023 Unaudited Financial Statement, the Fast Moving Consumer Goods firm registered a significant growth in year-on-year profit to GH¢178.96 million in 2023, from GH¢15.08 million in 2022.
This is despite the economic challenges the country faced in 2023 which saw inflation averaging about 28%, whilst the cedi lost about 14.0% in value to the dollar.
As a result of the sterling performance, the earnings per share of the FMCG firm witnessed a significant growth to GH¢2.86 in 2023 from GH¢0.24 in 2022.
The firm said the improvement in its profit margin was driven by increased sales and judicious pricing to cover cost inflation net of cost savings.
The company delivered a 44% growth in revenue growth in 2023 compared to the same period prior year. Total revenue in 2023 stood at GH¢908.146 million, compared to GH¢631.47 million.
It pointed out that it will continue to invest in demand-generating and brand-building activities which contributed to revenue growth in the year.
