We are now fully focused on THG Beauty and THG Nutrition, and I'm incredibly proud of the progress each business has made.” The THG Ingenuity demerger was completed, and the company is now a FTSE 250 index constituent with its long-term capital structure refinanced to December 2029. FY 2025 guidance remains unchanged with revenue growth expectations of mid-single digit, with Group adjusted EBITDA margins progressing to levels of 9 percent.
