Unilever Ghana PLC has declared a final dividend of GH¢1.00 per share, amounting to a total payout of GH¢62.5 million for the 2025 financial year, following approval by shareholders at the company’s 52nd Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders will receive the final dividend on July 6, 2026.
The dividend declaration comes on the back of a strong financial performance, with profit rising sharply to GH¢96 million in 2025 from GH¢58 million in the previous year.
The company also ended the year with a robust cash position of GH¢210 million, underscoring its liquidity strength and capacity to reward shareholders.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the company’s 52nd Annual General Meeting Board Chairman Charles Nimako said the company remains committed to creating sustainable value and delivering consistent returns to shareholders while positioning the business for long-term growth.
“On the dividend side, I think if you look at the historical [and] you go back to the last five years or maybe 10 years, Unilever has always increased its dividend year on year,” he said.
“We generated cash of over GH¢200 million. We are sharing GH¢62 million with the shareholders. There are some cash that we need to keep for reinvestment into the business, capital improvements and things like that and at the end of the day, we have to balance the two. But I can assure you that as we become more successful and we generate more cash, the dividend going to the shareholders will increase,” Charles Nimako subsequently added.
Managing Director Chris Wulff-Caesar attributed the improved performance to a more stable macroeconomic environment and the resilience of the company’s key power brands.
“The macro environment is good for business. Any business person you speak to in Ghana would like a much more stable environment to be able to plan and execute and therefore deliver for shareholders, which is what we’ve discussed with them today. I am not in a position to speculate what 2026 will be, but we all would like to have a stable macro business environment,” Chris Wulff-Caesar mentioned.
“Our focus right now is on our power brands and I did mention some of them Pepsodent, Vaseline, Lifebuoy, Comfort and Omo. We have quite a number of good brands in our portfolio already, even the likes of Dove and they are all in there for us. So we believe that these results that we have shared with our shareholders today, there is still opportunity for growth in the Ghana market and we will continue to do our bit, try and be in every home and brighten everyday lives of every Ghanaian,” he remarked.
