Restructuring contributes to €9.8m loss at Unilever

RESTRUCTURING costs at the Irish arm of consumer food giant Unilever last year contributed to the company recording a €9.8 million loss, figures show.

Accounts just filed with the Companies Office by Unilever Ireland (Holdings) Ltd, show the company recorded the loss after revenues decreased marginally from €248.4m to €247.7m in the 12 months to the end of December last.

The company’s costs were increased by an exceptional cost of €7.1m relating to restructuring that included severance payments.
