Treasury: the 2,185,205,247 above is issued capital and includes 30,703,780 treasury shares; a further 174,123 are held by group companies. Shares with voting rights = 2,154,327,344; an outstanding-basis cap should use ~2.154bn (1.4% lower). NOT A DLC any more - the prompt's DLC warning is out of date: Unilever unified into a single UK-incorporated entity (Unilever PLC) in November 2020, and the Amsterdam line UNA.AS and the NYSE ADS are the same single share class, so do not add listings.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (UL), where one receipt represents 1 ordinary share; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count. Provenance.

Market cap / net income 12.0× — a market value from 2026-08-28 divided by earnings for a year that ended 2025-12-31. The two dates are far apart on purpose: this is arithmetic on two published numbers, not a valuation.

Every figure above is read from the same 20-F, filed 2026-03-12, and each row names the XBRL tag it came from so it can be checked against the document. Metrics absent from that filing are absent here rather than sourced from a different year — a table mixing periods is individually true and collectively meaningless. The company reports in EUR; the dollar column converts at ECB euro reference rate on 2025-12-31, the period end, not today.
