Unilever Ghana PLC has declared a final dividend of GH¢1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, representing a total distribution of GH¢62.5 million to shareholders. The dividend was approved at the company’s 52nd Annual General Meeting and will be paid on July 6, 2026.
The payout follows a strong financial performance by the company, with profit increasing significantly from GH¢58 million in 2024 to GH¢96 million in 2025. The company also closed the year with a cash balance of GH¢210 million, reflecting a solid liquidity position.
Speaking after the AGM, Board Chairman Charles Nimako said the company remains focused on creating sustainable value for shareholders while investing in long-term business growth.
He noted that Unilever Ghana has consistently increased its dividend payments over the years and emphasized the need to balance shareholder returns with business reinvestment. According to him, while GH¢62.5 million is being distributed to shareholders, part of the company’s cash reserves will be retained to fund capital projects and other growth initiatives. He added that higher future earnings and cash generation could lead to increased dividends.
Managing Director Chris Wulff-Caesar attributed the company’s improved results to a more stable economic environment and the strong performance of its leading brands.
He explained that a stable macroeconomic climate enables businesses to plan effectively, execute strategies efficiently, and deliver better returns to shareholders. While declining to speculate on the outlook for 2026, he stressed the importance of maintaining economic stability.
Mr. Wulff-Caesar also highlighted the company’s focus on key brands, including Pepsodent, Vaseline, Lifebuoy, Comfort, Omo and Dove. He expressed confidence that there remains significant growth potential in the Ghanaian market and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to expanding its presence and improving the daily lives of consumers across the country.
