The announced March 2026 Reverse Morris Trust combination values Unilever Foods at an enterprise value of approximately $44.8 billion, or 13.8x FY2025 EBITDA, with Unilever shareholders receiving 65% equity in the combined entity plus $15.7 billion cash. This structure allows Unilever to exit foods while McCormick gains scale in condiments and flavors, targeting $20 billion combined revenue and improved growth margins. Regulatory filings, including McCormick’s S-4 and Unilever Foods’ Form 10, remain in progress alongside antitrust reviews. Recent July updates on the post-close operating model, executive team, and secondary London listing indicate advancing integration planning ahead of the mid-2027 target close. Key swing factors include final shareholder and competition authority approvals plus any adjustments to net debt or separation costs.
