All comparative figures are continuing CCY unless otherwise stated, all numbers and tables subject to rounding. FY 2024 has been restated to reflect the demerger of THG Ingenuity.
- Q4 was the strongest quarter of FY 2025 for Group revenue growth at +7.0%, building on the previous quarter high of +6.3%, supported by a successful November and December performance (c.+8%), and robust commercial discipline.
- The Group delivered FY revenue growth of +2.3%, the first year of growth since 2021, and a pleasing recovery from the H1 revenue decline of -2.5%.
- The impact of FX on sales reduced sequentially through the year, with Japanese Yen and US Dollar headwinds largely offset by Euro tailwinds by Q4.
- The combined impact of disposals and discontinued activities reduced Group full year and Q4 2025 revenue growth by 330bps and 290bps respectively.
- THG Beauty delivered its strongest Q4 growth performance since Q4 2021, well ahead of revenue guidance driven by Lookfantastic (+16.2%) in the UK and Ireland. The effect of discontinued activities and asset disposals (including the sale of the luxury portfolio) impacted full year and Q4 2025 reported revenue growth by 460bps and 370bps respectively.
- The sale of Claremont Ingredients in Q3 2025, impacted full year and Q4 2025 revenue growth for THG Nutrition by 50bps and 110bps respectively. We continue to diversify our territory, channel and category mix to reflect the record global consumer demand for protein, taking intentional trading decisions to protect margins and retain market share whilst whey commodity prices remain elevated.
- Highly liquid balance sheet with over £330m of cash and available facilities at year end.
THG Beauty Q4 2025 highlights
- THG Beauty UK outperformed the market following a strong Q3, supported by growth in new and LTM active customers.
- Revenue growth in Q4 was broad-based across categories, helping deepen penetration in established and high-growth segments. Cosmetics and Skincare drove the strongest performance, with both gaining UK market share[4], alongside a record advent contribution.
- Lookfantastic has partnered with Uber Eats, allowing London based customers access to same day delivery for a range of curated beauty and fragrance essentials, further supporting our focus on streamlining the product discovery and purchase experience.
- Within Own Brands, Perricone MD performance improved in the period after a challenging H1, driven by investment in brand and formulation, alongside expanded B2B distribution. In addition, 60 ESPA SKUs were launched in over 100 M&S stores and online, building brand visibility and aided awareness for the luxury spa and skincare brand, leveraging access to the Sparks reward scheme members.
- The sale of the luxury portfolio and other asset disposals, alongside the commercial decision to withdraw from certain sales activity in Europe and Asia, accounts for the vast majority of the revenue drag observed during FY 2025. These factors have now largely annualised.
THG Nutrition Q4 2025 highlights
- THG Nutrition delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth (+12.2% (excluding Asia)), largely driven by pricing and strong growth in adjacent categories notably offline retail and gross margin accretive activewear and creatine. Growth in activewear (c.12% of online sales vs c.8% FY 2024) further diversifies both revenue and the addressable customer base, with over half a million women's leggings sold during the year.
- Myprotein maintained its leading position as UK and Europe's no.1 sports nutrition brand[5] holding a 25% share of the UK online sports nutrition market[6], with customer loyalty driving YoY growth in subscriptions by more than double.
- Global confectionary brand Mars joined a growing list of international collaborations for Myprotein, which already includes Müller, Iceland, Chupa Chups, Vimto and Jimmy's Coffee. These partnerships have seen the brand enter new markets alongside established category leaders, helping to bring Myprotein products to a wider audience across multiple lifestyle and nutrition categories.
- Long-term retail partner Iceland launched 25 new Myprotein branded products into stores during the year, with the recent launch of omelettes and 'Layered Ice Cream Bars' incorporating Myprotein into additional meal occasions. Range expansions for GNC and Kroger in the US are also set to launch in H1 2026.
Matthew Moulding, CEO of THG, commented:
"We finished 2025 on a high with our best quarter of the year thanks to a strong November and December period. In THG Beauty, our strategy to focus on core categories and territories is delivering clear results, with Lookfantastic UK achieving exceptional growth. We continue to accelerate our digital leadership, prioritising high-margin prestige brands and enhancing personalisation by increased use of AI and virtual tools.
"THG Nutrition has delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, driven by the strength of the Myprotein brand and our successful offline global expansion strategy which has seen us exceed our distribution targets across retail and licencing.
"We enter the new year with strong trading momentum and a clear focus on continuing to deliver quality, value and newness for our customers."
