‌Unilever Nigeria Plc Unaudited Interim Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
  1. ‌General information

    Unilever Nigeria Plc. is incorporated in Nigeria as a public limited liability company under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAP C20) Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and is domiciled in Nigeria. The company's shares are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

    The company is principally involved in the manufacture and marketing of Foods, personal care, Beauty and well being products. It has manufacturing sites in Oregun, Lagos State and Agbara, Ogun State.

  2. ‌Dealing in Unilever Nigeria Plc. Shares

    The Company has adopted a code of conduct regarding securities transactions by its directors on terms no less exacting than the required standard set out in the rules of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

    Having made specific enquiry of all directors, Unilever Nigeria Plc directors have complied with the required standard set out in the rules of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and in the Unilever Nigeria Plc code of conduct regarding securities transactions by directors.

  3. ‌Basis of preparation

    These interim financial statements for the the period ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

  4. ‌Significant accounting policies

    The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous audited financial year.

  5. ‌Estimates

    The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

    In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

  6. ‌Financial risk management Financial risk factors

    Unilever's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Unilever's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Unilever's financial performance.

    Risk management is carried out by a Treasury Department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Unilever's Treasury Department identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks in close cooperation with Unilever's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity. These policies are mostly Unilever Global Policies adopted for local use.

    The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2024. There have been no changes in the risk management structure since year end or in any risk management policy.

    11



    ‌Unilever Nigeria Plc Unaudited Interim Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
    1. Financial risk factors
      1. Market risk

        1. Currency risk - Transactions in foreign currency

          Unilever is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars, Pound sterling and Euro. The currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

          The Company manages this risk mainly by hedging foreign exchange currency contracts.

        2. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

          Unilever's interest rate risk arises from bank overdrafts and bank loans. Overdrafts issued at variable rates expose Unilever to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose Unilever to fair value interest rate risk.

          Unilever analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Based on these scenarios, Unilever calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.

      2. Credit risk

        Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers

        Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited, due to the Company's customer base being diverse. Credit terms for customers are determined on individual basis. Credit risk relating to trade receivables is managed by reference to the customers' credit limit, inventory balance, cash position and secondary sales to final consumers.

        The carrying amounts of financial assets and contract assets represent the maximum credit exposure

      3. Liquidity risk

      Liquidity risk is the risk that Unilever will face difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Unilever's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this management considers both normal and stressed conditions. A material and sustained shortfall in our cash flow could undermine Unilever's credibility, impair investor confidence and also restrict Unilever's ability to raise funds.

      Cash flow from operating activities provides the funds to service the financing of financial liabilities on a day-to-day basis. Unilever seeks to manage its liquidity requirements by maintaining relationships with different financial institutions through short-term and long-term credit facilities.

      Cash flow forecasting is performed in Unilever. Unilever's finance team monitors rolling forecasts of Unilever's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that Unilever does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration Unilever's debt financing plans, covenant compliance and compliance with gearing ratios.

      Where current liabilities exceed current assets, the Company seeks to manage its liquidity requirements by maintaining access to bank lending which are renewable annually.

      At the reporting date, Unilever held cash in bank was N110.4 billion (31 December 2024: N68.4 billion).

‌Unilever Nigeria Plc Unaudited Interim Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 19.2 In 2024, the company was involved in trade financing arrangements with some local banks where the banks agreed to pay amounts to foreign vendors in respect of invoices owed by the Company and receives settlement from the Company at a later date. The principal purpose of the arrangement was to facilitate efficient payment processing in view of the challenges being experienced with sourcing foreign currency in the Nigerian market. The arrangement enabled the Company to settle its foreign obligations in a timely manner to facilitate receipt of key input materials required in the production of finished goods. In 2025, the company has paid down these facilities due to the relative stability and improved availability of foreign currency.
