Unilever Nigeria Plc lost about N3.726bn from the discontinuation of its home care and skin cleansing products including Omo washing powder, Key soap, Pears baby care goods, Vaseline petroleum jelly, and Lux soap. In its recently released unaudited interim financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, Unilever revealed that the loss for the period under review was higher than the N1.492bn in 2022. In March 2023, Unilever Nigeria announced it would be exiting the home care and skin cleansing markets to reposition its business for sustained profitability. Production and Sales for Home care and Skin cleansing business categories ceased in December 2023. The statement it released back then said that it was changing its business model to accelerate the growth of the company and meet the needs of consumers, shareholders, and employees better. AFCON SPECIAL0:06 / 1:01 Part of the statement read, “This will involve repurposing the portfolio by exiting the home care and skin cleansing categories to concentrate on higher growth opportunities. “Strengthening business operations with measures to digitise and simplify processes; and focusing more on business continuity measures that reduce exposure to devaluation and currency liquidity in our business model.” On the figures from the discontinued operations, Unilever said, “The numbers reported reflect the results of the Home Care and Skin Cleansing business categories from the beginning of 2023 to its discontinuation in September and December respectively. The comparative figures represent the full-year results of the business categories in 2022.” In the period under review, Unilever recorded N16.484bn in turnover for the discontinued products which was overwhelmed by the cost of sales which stood at N17.044bn.

It takes balls of steel to be a business owner in Nigeria. The more you try to run your business, the more the country's policies is actively trying to run you down. It's like swimming in an ocean with rocks tied to your legs. 1 Like 1 Share |

This is a huge loss,I also think there's a lot of competition in the home care market. Nigerians purchasing power has dropped drastically, so they opt for cheaper brands as alternative Many industries in Nigeria are just struggling to stay afloat |
