Consumer goods maker Unilever reported a 2.6 percent rise in underlying third-quarter sales on Thursday, blaming poor weather in Europe and natural disasters in the Americas.
That was down from 3 percent growth in the first half of the year.
The maker of Dove soap and Ben & Jerry`s ice cream, which in February rebuffed a $143 billion takeover bid from Kraft-Heinz, said turnover fell by 1.6 percent, hurt by a 5.1 percent hit from foreign exchange rates.
The company stood by its full-year forecast for sales growth of 3 to 5 percent.
