Arthur J Gallagher blames acquistion costs for 2011 loss

Arthur J Gallagher UK blamed acquisition costs for its £2.8m loss for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The UK broker reported a £4m profit for the same period last year.

The company said the integration of costs of acquisitions were the main factor behind the loss.

And it insisted that, following the acquisitions, the company expects to achieve "annual costs synergies" going forward.

The operating loss also stood at 1.9m in 2011, down from a profit of £4m reported for the previous year.

Meanwhile, turnover rose by 13% to £65m, up on the £57.2m posted in 2010.
