UNVR – To maintain business with capital expenditure amidst a volatile market

UNVR – To maintain business with capital expenditure amidst a volatile market Unilever Indonesia (UNVR) has allocated around 3% of its total sales for its capital expenditure in 2025, which is to drive operational efficiency and business growth, amidst a volatile market and geopolitical uncertainties. Note that, the company considers the importance of its capex spendings as to boost its sales, expanding the company' reach, and supporting its brand development amid challenges such as IDR depreciation and global market volatility. At the same time, in order to navigate the cost pressures, UNVR has also implemented hedging strategies and maintaining good relationships with its suppliers through long-term contracts, as to maintain a positive growth outlook in the domestic market. Yet, UNVR' revenue and net profit declined to IDR9.5 tn (-5.7% yoy) and IDR1.2 tn (-14.6% yoy), respectively in 1Q25. (Source : Kontan)
