Dutch mail and express company TNT reported a 60 per cent fall in profit for the fourth quarter this week citing restructuring charges and worsening business conditions, especially in its express delivery arm. Net profit at Amsterdam-based TNT was €207 million, down from €250 million in the same period a year earlier. Sales fell 2.4 per cent to €2.93 billion. The company took €146 million in charges during the quarter to restructure both its mail and express divisions, where it had earlier said it would cut 1,000 jobs. TNT said it expected revenues at its Express delivery unit to decline in 2009 due to volume declines and lower fuel surcharges.
