Unilever Ghana PLC has announced a final dividend of GH¢1.00 per share, translating into a total payout of GH¢62.5 million for the 2025 financial year, following approval at its 52nd Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders are expected to receive the dividend on July 6, 2026.
The declaration follows a strong financial performance in 2025, with the company’s profit rising significantly to GH¢96 million, up from GH¢58 million in the previous year. Unilever Ghana also reported a solid cash position of GH¢210 million, reflecting strong liquidity and its capacity to reward investors.
Board Chairman Charles Nimako said the company remains focused on delivering sustainable value and consistent returns to shareholders while balancing reinvestment for long-term growth.
He noted that Unilever Ghana has historically maintained a pattern of increasing dividends year on year.
“We generated cash of over GH¢200 million. We are sharing GH¢62 million with the shareholders. There is cash we need to retain for reinvestment into the business and capital improvements, but as we become more successful, dividends will increase,” he said.
Managing Director Chris Wulff-Caesar attributed the improved performance to a more stable macroeconomic environment and the strong performance of the company’s key brands.
He highlighted products such as Pepsodent, Vaseline, Lifebuoy, Comfort, Omo, and Dove as central to the company’s growth strategy, noting that Unilever remains committed to expanding its presence in Ghanaian households.
“We believe there is still opportunity for growth in the Ghana market, and we will continue to try and be in every home and brighten everyday lives of every Ghanaian,” he said.
