Unilever Ghana PLC has announced a final dividend of GH¢1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, translating into a total shareholder payout of GH¢62.5 million following approval at the company’s 52nd Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The dividend declaration comes on the back of a strong financial performance that saw the consumer goods giant significantly improve profitability and strengthen its cash position. Shareholders are expected to receive the dividend payment on July 6, 2026.
The company reported a sharp increase in profit, which rose to GH¢96 million in 2025 from GH¢58 million recorded in the previous year. Unilever Ghana also ended the year with cash reserves of GH¢210 million, highlighting its solid liquidity position and financial resilience.
Speaking on the sidelines of the AGM, Board Chairman Charles Nimako said the company remains focused on delivering sustainable value to shareholders while maintaining sufficient resources to support future growth initiatives.
“On the dividend side, if you look at the last five or even ten years, Unilever has consistently increased its dividend year on year,” he stated.
Mr. Nimako explained that while the company is rewarding shareholders with a substantial payout, it must also retain funds to support business expansion and operational improvements.
“We generated cash of over GH¢200 million. We are sharing GH¢62 million with shareholders, but there is also a need to reinvest in the business and undertake capital improvements. As we become more successful and generate more cash, the dividend going to shareholders will increase.” - Board Chairman Charles Nimako
Stable Economy Supports Growth
Managing Director Chris Wulff-Caesar attributed the company’s improved performance to a more stable macroeconomic environment and the strength of its leading brands in the Ghanaian market.
“The macro environment is good for business. Every business person in Ghana wants a stable environment to plan, execute and deliver results for shareholders,” he said.
According to him, Unilever Ghana’s growth strategy remains centered on its portfolio of well-established brands, including Pepsodent, Vaseline, Lifebuoy, Comfort, Omo and Dove.
Mr. Wulff-Caesar noted that the company still sees significant growth opportunities within the Ghanaian market and remains committed to expanding its reach among consumers.
He expressed confidence that the strong 2025 results provide a solid foundation for future growth, emphasizing the company’s ambition to continue improving everyday life for Ghanaians through trusted household brands.
The latest financial performance reinforces Unilever Ghana’s position as one of the country’s leading consumer goods companies, balancing shareholder returns with strategic investments aimed at sustaining long-term growth.
