Segmental reportng
The Group has revised its operating segments to align with the new structure under which the business is managed. From 2012,
operating segment information is provided based on four product areas rather than geographical regions. The four product
areas are:
Personal are – including sales of skincare and haircare products, deodorants and oral care products.
Foods – including sales of soups, bouillons, sauces, snacks, mayonnaise, salad dressings, margarines and spreads.
Refreshment – i ncluding sales of ice cream, tea-based beverages, weight-management products and nutritionally enhanced
staples sold in developing markets.
Home are – including sales of home care products, such as laundry tablets, powders and liquids, soap bars and a wide
range of cleaning products.
Revenue recognton
Turnover comprises sales of goods after the deduction of discounts, sales taxes and estimated returns. It does not include sales
between group companies. Discounts given by Unilever include rebates, price reductions and incentives given to customers,
promotional couponing and trade communication costs.
Turnover is recognised when the risks and rewards of the underlying products have been substantially transferred to the customer.
Depending on individual customer terms, this can be at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance.
ore operatng proft
From 2012 the Group refers to core operating profit which means operating profit before the impact of non-core items
(refer to note 3 for explanation of non-core items).
