Unilever plc (UL)

Unilever plc files a 20-F with the SEC once a year, in euros. In the year to 31 December 2025 it reported revenue of EUR 50,503 million, down 3.8% on the year before. Its profit attributable to shareholders was EUR 9,469 million, up 64.9%, and diluted earnings per share EUR 4.32.

Earnings per share are per ordinary share, in euros. The share that trades in the US can be a depositary share standing for more or fewer ordinary shares, so no price ratio is worked out on this page.

EUR million, from each year's annual report on the SEC's EDGAR, the year linked to its filing, on the IFRS tags the company filed. A line the company does not file under the standard tag is left out rather than estimated. A year marked * shows the figure as the company restated it in a later annual report (Dec 2017, Dec 2018, Dec 2023, Dec 2024); the first-filed figure is in the CSV. Profit for the year includes the part that belongs to minority shareholders; profit attributable to shareholders is the part EPS is struck on.
