    Hindustan Unilever is separating its ice cream business, which owns brands such as Kwality Wall’s, Cornetto and Magnum, and has done an independent valuation to have a fair idea. The board of HUL on Wednesday decided to demerge the ice cream business, based on the recommendation of an independent committee, which was formed by the FMCG major in September this year.

    HUL company in focus: Ice-cream business

    HUL announced that it will separate its ice cream business. Ice Cream, which contributes 3 per cent to HUL’s turnover, is a high-growth category that needs significant investments to realise its full potential. Given Unilever owns the trademarks and know-how and has announced the separation of its ice-cream business, local capabilities will need to be developed to continue running the business.

    “Ice cream has a different operating model including cold chain infrastructure, and a distinct channel landscape, which limits synergies with the rest of HUL,” the company stated.

    The company is expecting the outlook to remain the same in the December quarter.

    “We see the outlook in line with what we have seen during this quarter,” added Rohit.
