Key Results Highlights
o Volume growth of 7% in the quarter vs prior year driven by continued recovery of demand, prevalent across
nearly all markets. 14% sequential volume growth.
o Quarter started in January with muted demand due to Omicron variant, ending with a record month of
March.
o UBL achieved share growth both in the quarter as well as in the year to date performance, further solidifying its
market leadership.
o In the quarter, EBIT reached Rs. 220 Cr, 5% ahead of previous year. Top line growth and cost measures were partly
offset by higher commodity costs.
o Full year results show strong performance with Net Sales up 38% and EBIT up 157%.
o Robust Free Operating Cash Flows at Rs. 721 Cr due to continued improvement in working capital and curtailed
investment levels.
o On the back of strong liquidity position, proposed dividend significantly up to Rs. 10.50 per share, representing
circa 75% pay out of profit after tax.

o Although the Covid trajectory remains unknown, the Company is confident in successfully navigating any potential
impacts with an agile response.
o With the demand picture normalizing, the Company is gearing up for the season that has shown a promising start
in March.
o The commodity cost picture remains challenging and volatile. The Company is in the process of securing price
increases in combination with continued cost measures to mitigate this impact.

urbanization and evolving consumer trends. UBL is well positioned to leverage and drive these opportunities.
