FY 2022 highlights and strategic progress
- Record sales of over £2.2 billion with growth broad-based across core divisions
- Significant investment in price strategy to support long-term customer retention, alongside new customer acquisition in established and emerging markets
- Lower level of profitability due to challenging macro-economic environment and significant cost inflation across major cost lines
- Free cash generation of c. £50 million in H2 2022[1]. New £156 million term loan further strengthened the balance sheet with c. £640 million of cash and available facilities at year end
- Successful completion of the Group's divisional reorganisation which will drive profit recovery through greater divisional cost transparency, the removal of duplicated costs, procurement and payroll efficiencies
- THG Ingenuity gaining momentum following the pivot to focus on higher value and ultimately higher margin contracts
Preliminary FY 2022 Results | Notes: [1]Group free cash generation is calculated after working capital, capital expenditure, adjusting items, tax and financing (prior to debt capital repayments) | 2 |
Decisive cost action undertaken supporting profit improvement
Strategic review
- Simplification of the Group leading to a strategic review of loss- making categories and territories
Payroll reducing as a % of revenue
- Labour inflation a headwind in 2022
- Group-wideheadcount reduction of c. 2,000 employees following elevated investment over recent years, achieved through managed attrition alongside continued recruitment of digital talent
Marketing cost efficiency through targeted investment in demand generation
- CPC inflation an industry-wide[1] headwind in 2022
- Free / Paid marketing mix continues to evolve favourably
- Ongoing shift to efficient channels, particularly apps and influencers
Adjusted EBITDA margin accretion throughout FY 2023 and beyond underpinned by input cost deflation, strategic review completion and annualised impact of cost efficiencies. The building blocks to free cash flow.
