PORTLAND — Unum Group, which employs some 3,100 people in Maine, reported net income of $205.6 million or 69 cents per diluted share during the third quarter of 2011, compared to $220.8 million or 68 cents per share in the same period last year.
“While our performance was slighlty below expectations, I am generally pleased with our results, particularly given the challenging economic environment,” said President and CEO Thomas Watjen in a letter to employees released today. “Although we face challenges, we are fortunate to be in a very strong business and financial position, and therefore we should remain confident in our future.”
