Financial Performance:

THG has delivered strong financial performance in recent years, driven by its proprietary technology platform, customer data analytics, and supply chain capabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2021, THG reported revenue of £2.51 billion, an increase of 38.6% from the previous year. Gross profit for the year was £848.3 million, an increase of 43.1% from the previous year.

THG's growth has been driven in part by a number of strategic acquisitions and partnerships. In September 2020, THG acquired the US-based skincare brand Dermstore, expanding its presence in the US market. In December 2020, THG acquired the UK-based luxury beauty retailer, Cult Beauty, further expanding its portfolio of health, beauty, and nutrition brands. In February 2021, THG announced a partnership with Japanese conglomerate Softbank, providing THG with access to Softbank's technology and expertise.

THG has also continued to invest in its technology platform, with a focus on improving its customer data analytics and supply chain capabilities. In June 2021, THG acquired the UK-based software company, Prolific Interactive, which specializes in mobile app development and user experience design. This acquisition is expected to strengthen THG's mobile capabilities and further enhance its customer data analytics.

One of the key advantages of THG's technology platform is its ability to analyze customer data in real-time. By collecting and analyzing data on customer behavior, preferences, and purchase history, THG is able to personalize its marketing and sales strategies, driving higher conversion rates and customer loyalty. Additionally, THG's platform enables it to optimize its supply chain, reducing costs and improving delivery times. By managing its supply chain in-house, THG is able to maintain tight control over quality and costs, enabling it to offer competitive pricing to its customers.

Another advantage of THG's business model is its ability to operate a range of complementary brands under a single platform. By offering a range of health, beauty, and nutrition brands, THG is able to cross-sell products to its customers, driving higher lifetime value and reducing customer churn. Additionally, by operating multiple brands, THG is able to achieve economies of scale, reducing costs and improving profitability.

In this essay, I will discuss why buying shares in THG is a smart investment choice. I will begin by outlining the company's business model and its competitive advantages, including its proprietary technology platform, customer data analytics, and supply chain capabilities. Next, I will examine THG's financial performance and growth prospects, including its recent acquisitions and partnerships. Finally, I will discuss THG's social responsibility and environmental initiatives, which provide an additional reason to invest in the company.

Business Model:

By leveraging these tools, THG is able to optimize its operations and achieve economies of scale, allowing it to deliver superior value to its customers while maintaining healthy profit margins.

An investor may have previously been influenced by negative sentiment in the media or by other investors. After I conducted more thorough research and speaking to more industry experts surrounding take-overs, I changed my perspective. Why would you quote by past? You are the clown.

Tomorrow will create a feedback loop, with short-sellers scrambling to buy back shares and driving the price up even higher, causing more short-sellers to cover their positions. The resulting buying frenzy will lead a short squeeze, where short-sellers are forced to buy back shares at much higher prices than they anticipated, potentially leading to significant losses for them. 150 tomorrow?

Mind the typos*

I can say accurately that both ITM/Linde agreed will focus on electrolyser capacities of 10 Megawatts and above. But your confident statement regarding obligations seems way out. Maybe i'm wrong? You would have thought DW would have mentioned that, and just like I said and DW, linde is the 100% the preference Bilbo.

Quote from Dennis the CEO:

"The ITM/Linde relationship is valuable for both companies, and ITM’s preferred route to market. The bigger the projects get, the more important the EPC partner’s competence becomes in a joint setup. Still, ITM has also direct contracts with other customers."

That was certainly not what he said last week answering our questions. Can you point out where you read this on the contract bilbo please?

They are a green hydrogen producer, stating they are only using UK based companies.
Hopefully ITM are the preferred manufacturer of the electrolysers.
DW did mention although their preferred way into the market was through sales with Linde, they do have other private opportunities.

Today's Herald.

The Scottish Government claims that up to 600,000 jobs can be created by scaling up hydrogen.
Under the Scottish Government’s current strategy, ministers hope to generate 5GW of power by 2030 and 45GW by 2045

Germany is getting nearer to goals for developing a green hydrogen market by the end of the decade, one of the country's biggest utilities E.ON (EONGn.DE) said on Friday.
Germany, which wants to achieve 10 gigawatts of green hydrogen capacity by 2030, has over the past six months seen new projects emerge and of bigger sizes.
E.ON said the experience of disrupted gas supplies from Russia and climate concerns have prompted Germany to accelerate its shift towards renewable energy.

sorry - kelso!

I have to say, I had doubts after the results but seeing apollo increase their holding was very interesting indeed. Good luck all holders.

UK is poised to be a leader in low-carbon hydrogen production.
The 1.8GW of planned green hydrogen in the UK primarily consists of PEM and alkaline exchange membrane.

So in short-term, yes Toneman they care arguably cheaper. But you only get what you pay for as they say.

From the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-1315/371/4/042022/pdf

Alkaline disadvantages of slow start-up, corrosion, complicated maintenance, and many components of the
device. PEM hydrogen production technology has the advantages of fast start-up, no corrosion, simple
maintenance, and fewer components.

Another interesting fact about alkaline, which you could call a major disadvantage politically, is one of the minerals needed can only be found in china.

PEM electrolyzers are more efficient and have longer lifespans, which bodes well for ITM in terms of getting the bigger contracts with higher margins.
