Morning boom and all
I get your points on beauty. It must deliver 4 per cent ebitda for me Thursday Minimum. Don't care if sales decline 7 to 8 per cent for the half.
I do still Think it's worth a billion easy to a trade buyer be it Estee lauder loreal unilever walgreens etc. The money THG has pumped. Into acquisitions is phenomenal.
The difficulty in the deal is maybe that post deal it physically stays in thg warehouses and is an external. Customer to ingenuity just like the ondemand principles.
Thg beauty has it all key features turnkey for would be acquirer . It's Own brands supply chain manufacturing, total global coverage manufacturing, sampling, npd, hotels spas all. Types of beauty needs hair skin nails beauty electronics etc big webstores b2b. diverse brands. It really is Broad.
No doubt though people just want to. Buy their brands at best deal and so it's a tough fight especially is more brands sold via salons go on amazon.
Note the super m and a in beauty too at eye watering multiples vs our current divisions value
Let's hope there are some sparklers on beauty as moukding said 2 years ago it was getting spun off but never happened anotner token lie
I wouldn't write It off at all but Thursday is absolutely a defining moment for me
