The facts

  1. Quarterly turnover was €13.3 billion, up 6.7% from a year earlier. That reported revenue change differs from the company’s underlying sales measure, which excludes currency and portfolio effects. [1]

  2. Underlying sales growth comprised 2.9% volume growth and 2.3% price growth. [1]

  3. Unilever retained its full-year underlying sales-growth range of 4–6% and its expectation of modest improvement from the 2025 underlying operating margin of 20%. [1]

  4. Reuters reported that the volume outlook was raised from around 3% to at least 3%. The 4.8% sales-growth comparison is a company-compiled consensus, not a reported-revenue forecast. [1][2]
