Management believes this information is useful to investors because the businesses of the Company and its unconsolidated equity investees are managed on a combined basis, and management uses combined performance measures to analyze performance and develop financial objectives. Moreover, since the results of operations of the former Armkel business have been included in Church & Dwight's consolidated statement of income beginning on May 29, 2004, the information enhances comparability over the relevant period. (3) Excludes, in 2004, an accounting charge of $0.10 per share related to the acquisition of the 50% interest in Armkel that the Company did not previously own, as well as charges of $0.20 per share related to the early redemption of debt.

    Q2 2011 Full Announcement

    2011 FIRST HALF YEAR RESULTS CONTINUING GOOD PROGRESS DESPITE DIFFICULT MARKETS First Half Highlights • Strong second quarter underlying sales growth 7.1%; first half underlying sales growth 5.7% comprising volume growth 2.2% and price growth 3.5%. • Turnover up 4.1% at €22.8 billion with a negative impact from foreign exchange of 1.6%. • Underlying operating margin down 20bps; impact of high input cost inflation mitigated by pricing and savings. Stepped-up continuous improvement programmes generated efficiencies in advertising and promotions and led to lower indirect costs. • Advertising and promotions expenditure, at around €3 billion, was higher than the second half of 2010 but down 150bps versus the exceptionally high prior year comparator. • Fully diluted earnings per share up 10% at €0.77. • Integration of Sara Lee brands largely complete and Alberto Culver progressing rapidly. The acquisition of the laundry business in Colombia completed. Chief Executive Officer “We are making encouraging progress in the transformation of Unilever to a sustainable growth company. In a tough and volatile environment we have again delivered strong growth. Volumes were robust and in line with the market, despite having taken price increases. This shows the strength of our brands and innovations. Our emerging markets business continues to deliver double digit growth. Performance in Western Europe was also strong in the second quarter so that the half year results reflect the true progress we have been making. Bigger and better innovation rolled out faster and moving our brands into white spaces continue to be the biggest drivers of growth. We are now striving to go further and faster still.
