AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch health technology company Philips said on Wednesday its third-quarter core profit would drop around 60% as supply chain problems would continue to hit sales throughout the year.
The company also said it expected to take a charge of 1.3 billion euros ($1.26 billion) on the goodwill of its sleep and respiratory care business, which has been plagued by the fallout of a massive recall of machines used to treat sleep apnea.
