Hindustan Unilever's (HUL) earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 14%. Profit after tax before exceptional items, PAT (bei), rose 15% to Rs 1292 crore. Under volatile market conditions, the company's domestic consumer business grew at 6% and underlying volume growth remained flat.

During the quarter, trade sentiment remained cautious, particularly in the run up to GST implementation. Despite high promotional intensity, stock pipelines remained low and varied across categories, channels and geographies. In these challenging circumstances the company managed to deliver yet another quarter of resilient and profitable growth.

Harish Manwani, Chairman commented that both growth and margin improvement were delivered through a combination of sustained innovations, a comprehensive savings program and a relentless focus on execution in the market place. The company remains positive on the medium term outlook for the industry and will continue to drive consumer value, which also delivers profitable volume driven growth for the company.

HUL is a leading fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) company.
