Unilever Ghana Limited has published its 2020 half year unaudited financial accounts.

The company posted revenue of ¢204.1 million for the period, compared to ¢314.0 million in the same period last year.

The company explained that even though a decline in revenue was posted for the period compared to the corresponding prior-year period, the turnover achieved was in line with management’s forecasts.

Unilever Ghana Limited further explains that the decline in turnover during the half year of 2020 as against results recorded the same period last year (2019) is on account of efforts initiated to refresh its route to market operations across the country and to stabilize its trade stock in line with the objective of reducing  stock within its distribution network in Quarters 3 and 4, 2019.

An operating loss of GH¢ (13.7) million was recorded for quarter 2 of 2020 Compared to a profit of GH¢ 27.2 million for the same period in 2019.
