Unknown Speaker

Fernando Fernandez : Good morning, and thank you for joining us for Unilever's Second Quarter and Half Year Results. In a moment, Srini will take you through the details of the results. But first, let me highlight the key elements of our performance over the first half as I see them and how desired at the scale is fundamental to our strong delivery. I have said consistently that volume growth is our overriding priority. It is a true measure of demand and even more important signal of progress during times like this of heightened volatility. It is particularly encouraging, therefore, to be able to present today a strong volume-led half for Unilever. And not just a strong performance, but an accelerating one, with underlying sales growth in the second quarter of 5.8%, with volume up 5.5% and. This is Unilever's best quarterly volume performance since 2010. Our underlying volume growth over the last 4 quarters average 3%, a testament to the strength of our brands and our disciplined execution. This strong first half results reflect progress against our key strategic priorities, including most notably, the performance of our power brands, now sitting at 78% of our turnover. These brands continue to outperform, delivering underlying sales growth in the second quarter of 6.9%, with 6.8% coming from volume. A strong innovation program meant there were particularly great performances from Dove, Dirt is Good, Comfort, Sunsilk and Vaseline. Prioritizing these brands means focusing resources and investing competitively, which is why our brand and marketing investment is concentrated on our power brands. Significantly, today's results also reflect broad strength across our HPC business with underlying sales growth in the second quarter of 7.6% and with volume up 7.4%. It was also a good half for our emerging market businesses, which maintained the good momentum with 8.3% growth in the second quarter, with 7.4% coming from volume. India led the way with quarter 2 underlying sales up 10% and volume up 5%. This was a strong broad-based performance. It reflects the evolution of our emerging market portfolio to increasingly focus on high-growth segments, social first demand generation and go-to-market transformation alongside the benefits from corrective actions in fundamentals that we have taken over recent times in key markets. Our developed market business delivered a robust performance with volume growth in the second quarter of 2.8%. North America continues to outperform, led by personal care, beauty and prestige, while markets in Europe remain subdued. And in terms of profitability, we delivered 10 basis points of margin expansion and continue to invest competitively behind our brands while generating earnings growth of 2.4% in hard currency. This strong first half results are a direct consequence of bringing our mantra of desire at scale to life across the business. Desire at scale is a growth operating system, shaping how we build brands, how we …

McCormick: The Market Still Underestimates The Unilever Deal

McCormick & Company Incorporated remains a Buy, with valuation offering a solid margin of safety and re-rating potential post-Unilever deal. Q2 delivered 16.9% YoY revenue growth, driven by the McCormick de Mexico acquisition and organic pricing, reaffirming 2026 guidance for sales and margin expansion. Risks include higher leverage post-deal, potential selling pressure from Unilever shareholders, and persistent consumer trade-downs to private labels impacting legacy brands.
