I asked IR about Seperation…
By way of background, given the fast pace at which THG is growing, the Board identified that the current structure of the Group’s legal entities did not in some cases align with the business divisions and brands offered today. The decision was therefore taken to re-organise the Group’s legal structure, in order that underlying reporting companies align with business divisions and brands and support THG’s long term growth strategy. This process enables each division to accelerate investment in their individual growth plans. THG is committed to remaining a long-term majority shareholder in each of the divisions. The separation involves the establishment of several subgroups of companies to cover each division i.e. Beauty, Nutrition, Ingenuity, and OnDemand.
The technical separation work is complete in line with the timetable communicated previously and will simplify the corporate divisional structure and provide the Group with material optionality and the flexibility to enter into future strategic partnerships to generate value accretion for our stakeholders. On a consolidated basis the Group remains wholly owned and therefore reporting is largely unaffected at PLC Group level.
With kind regards,
THG PLC, Investor Relations
