Share­hold­ers of Unilever Caribbean Ltd will re­ceive a div­i­dend pay­out of $4.56 per share on De­cem­ber 15, com­pris­ing an in­ter­im div­i­dend of $0.38 and a spe­cial div­i­dend of $4.18.

The com­bined dis­burse­ment for both the in­ter­im and spe­cial div­i­dends will re­sult in a pay­out of $119.7 mil­lion.

In 2025, so far, Unilever Caribbean has paid its share­hold­ers div­i­dends of $1.10, com­pris­ing:

• A fi­nal div­i­dend (for 2024) of $0.79, paid on June 24;

• An in­ter­im div­i­dend of $0.16, paid on Ju­ly 10; and

• An in­ter­im div­i­dend of $0.15, paid on Sep­tem­ber 15.

Those three div­i­dend pay­ments, added to the up­com­ing pay­ment on De­cem­ber 15, would re­sult in share­hold­ers of Unilever Caribbean re­ceiv­ing $5.66 per share this year.

Unilever Caribbean’s chair, Daniela Bu­caro, said the com­pa­ny’s board of di­rec­tors ap­proved the two div­i­dend pay­ments based on its per­for­mance for the year “and giv­en the cur­rent lev­els of cash re­serves and re­tained earn­ings.”

In its fi­nan­cial re­port for the nine-month pe­ri­od end­ing Sep­tem­ber 30, 2025, Unilever Caribbean record­ed cash at bank and in hand of $190.12 mil­lion and re­tained earn­ings of $274.95 mil­lion.

The com­pa­ny re­port­ed that it fi­nalised the sale and trans­fer of its ice cream busi­ness on Ju­ly 1, and on Sep­tem­ber 11, the board of di­rec­tors an­nounced its ap­proval, in prin­ci­ple, of the di­vest­ment of the laun­dry cat­e­go­ry.

In ac­cor­dance with ac­count­ing stan­dards, trans­ac­tions re­lat­ing to these two cat­e­gories are now re­port­ed un­der dis­con­tin­ued op­er­a­tions in the fi­nan­cial state­ments. Unilever Caribbean’s prof­it from dis­con­tin­ued op­er­a­tions, net of tax, amount­ed to $22.908 mil­lion for the nine-month pe­ri­od.

In­clud­ing the prof­it from dis­con­tin­ued op­er­a­tions, the com­pa­ny’s af­ter-tax prof­it for the pe­ri­od Jan­u­ary 1 to Sep­tem­ber 30, was $45.48 mil­lion, which was 134.4 per cent more than the $19.38 mil­lion for the same pe­ri­od in 2024.

“On a com­pa­ra­ble ba­sis, rev­enue for year-to-date Sep­tem­ber 2025 (ex­clud­ing dis­con­tin­ued op­er­a­tions, to­talled $144.9 mil­lion, re­flect­ing an 11 per cent, or $14.4 mil­lion in­crease ver­sus the pri­or year of $130.5 mil­lion,” said Unilever chair Bu­caro.

“Prof­it be­fore tax rose by 35.2 per cent, rep­re­sent­ing an $8.6 mil­lion im­prove­ment. These re­sults demon­strate the re­silience, sus­tain­able growth and on­go­ing strength of the com­pa­ny’s core di­vi­sions and more par­tic­u­lar­ly, the beau­ty and per­son­al care cat­e­go­ry, which grew by 10.8 per cent ver­sus the pri­or year.”

Unilever Caribbean said its pow­er brands, Dove, Vase­line, De­gree and TRE­Semme, re­main well po­si­tioned and con­tin­ue to de­liv­er pos­i­tive re­sults with re­port­ed gross mar­gin of 2.3 per cent from con­tin­u­ing op­er­a­tions.

The com­pa­ny stopped man­u­fac­tur­ing at Champs Fleurs in Ju­ly 2022.
