Report on pages 71 to 78 for more

information

see S172 on pages 32 to 38 for

more information

It is with great pleasure that I report on

2025,a year characterised by both delivery

and stability. We not only delivered on our

strategic priorities and returned the Group

toprofitable continuing CCY revenue

growth, but also cemented the stability of

our simplified business model and, in turn,

established a robust platform for future

progress. We finished the year as a member

ofthe FTSE 250, enhancing our market

visibility and liquidity.

#### A focus on delivery

Our primary objective for 2025 was clear:

to deliver tangible results. I am pleased to

confirm that we executed our plans with

discipline and achieved that goal. Underpinned

by the strategic repositioning and brand

refresh previously undertaken, we delivered

a significant strategic turnaround in THG

Nutrition and saw the Myprotein brand return

to strong revenue growth.

In THG Beauty, our focused execution on

profitable categories and key markets

has continued to drive a market-leading

performance and further strengthen

our position as a global online leader in

prestigebeauty.

Across the Group, our commitment to financial

discipline has delivered a markedly improved

future cash flow profile, lower borrowings

and a more secure long-term balance sheet

following the refinancing in April.

#### Establishing stability

Building on the transformative changes which

took place at the start of the year, notably the

demerger of THG Ingenuity, the focus in 2025

was on embedding stable foundations across

the Group to support the simplified business

model. Largely due to the commitment and

hard work of CEO Matthew Moulding and his

Senior Management team, the simplification

of our structure into a focused beauty and

nutrition business is now complete, providing

a clear and understandable proposition

forinvestors.

This structural stability is underpinned by a

rigorous approach to financial management,

a disciplined focus on delivering Shareholder

value and a commitment to the highest

standards of corporate governance. The

Board and its Committees ensure that a

robust oversight framework is in place which

provides the platform required for sustainable,

long-term growth.

#### Driving innovation

Innovation remains at the heart of THG and was

a critical driver of our success during 2025.

Our omnichannel strategy for THG Nutrition,

particularly the expansion into physical retail,

has unlocked significant new avenues for

growth and demonstrated our ability to adapt

to changing consumer behaviours.

In THG Beauty, our innovation has been

focused on the customer experience,

leveraging data and technology to develop a

unified loyalty programme. This programme

serves to deepen our customer relationships

and provides a powerful engine for

personalised engagement.

With the customer front of mind, we remain

invested in our quality and speed of delivery

commitments, an important retention and

acquisition tool.

We continue to innovate in both our product

development and brand partnerships, ensuring

our brands remain at the forefront of the

wellness and beauty industries. Aligning our

proposition with category-leading brands

introduces us to new audiences, broadens

ouraddressable market and enhances our

overall visibility.

#### New ways of working

The achievements of 2025 were made

possible by our evolving ways of working.

A culture of collaboration, agility and

accountability has been essential and the

partnership between the Board and the Senior

Management team has been highly effective,

supporting swift and decisive strategic action

when required.

I would like to commend all our colleagues

for embracing these new ways of working;

their dedication and adaptability have been

instrumental in ensuring that we execute

and deliver against our objectives. We

remain committed to fostering a culture that

empowers our people to innovate and excel.

#### Outlook for 2026

We look ahead during the current year with

confidence, and we will continue to build

upon the solid foundations established in

recent years. Our focus will remain firmly

on delivering against our strategic priorities,

underpinned by the operational and financial

stability we have secured.

We will continue to invest in innovation to

stay ahead of the curve in our core markets

and, most importantly, we will continue to

nurture our effective ways of working, ensuring

we remain an agile and execution-focused

organisation.

I am confident that by continuing to focus on

these core themes, we will deliver significant

and sustainable value for our Shareholders in

the year ahead and beyond.

#### Strategic Report

#### Chief Executive Officer’s Review

Our 21st year in business has been a ‘coming

of age’ moment: A year of accelerating

momentum, marked by a return to continuing

CCY revenue growth, decisive strategic actions,

and a clear validation of our long-term vision.

We have simplified our structure, sharpened

our focus on our key territories and brands,

and strengthened our financial foundations.

•

We delivered our first full year of Group

continuing CCY revenue growth since 2021,

supported by an encouraging second half

and clear exit momentum. This reflects the

impact of strategic changes across the

business, theresilience of our brands and

the work ofour dedicated teams.

•

We significantly simplified the Group.

Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity

at the start of the year, we completed

the disposal of Claremont Ingredients,

delivering a strong return on our investment

and accelerating progress towards a net

cash balance sheet.

•

THG Beauty delivered a robust second-half

recovery, reflecting our focus on prioritising

higher-margin territories and categories.

Concentrating resources where we have a

distinct advantage has delivered impressive

UK market share gains and returned the

business to revenue growth.

•

It was a landmark year for THG Nutrition,

where our strategy to build an omnichannel

presence is delivering phenomenal results.

I am particularly pleased with our offline

expansion, which is putting increasing

numbers of Myprotein products on shelves

and reaching millions of new customers.

•

Licensing agreements with category

leaders including Müller, Iceland and

Jimmy’s Coffee drove sales of over

43million Myprotein units into retail during

2025, extending the brand into new

categories and reinforcing our reputation

forquality and innovation.

•

We secured our long-term capital structure

by refinancing our debt facilities, materially

reducing gross debt while retaining the

liquidity to continue investing in the exciting

growth potential of our Beauty and Nutrition

businesses.

On remuneration, I am pleased to confirm

that, consistent with each of the past five

years since becoming a public company,

theExecutive Directors refused to accept any

salary increases during the 2025 financial

year. This approach has continued into 2026,

with no increases applied to either my role or

that of the Group’s CFO.

As has been my practice since IPO, I again

waived the maximum amount of my annual

salary permissible by law, resulting in me

receiving only the UK’s annual minimum wage.

Over the past five years, the cumulative value

of salary waived now totals £3.63m, before

taking into account bonus and share-based

awards that have also been waived during

thisperiod.

During 2025, the Group again made a

charitable donation equivalent to the value of

the salary I sacrificed in the year. The donation

supported the development of accommodation

for people experiencing homelessness

acrossManchester.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Executive

Directors also waived any participation in the

2025 annual bonus plan.

THG Beauty: Brand curation and

#### market leadership

Beauty retail has demonstrated both

disciplineand agility. A clear focus on

profitable sales and core UK and US markets

drove a strong return to growth in the second

half of the year, culminating in our strongest

Q4 revenue performance since Q4 2021. This

result reflects our commercial discipline and

commitment to progressing customer value.

The UK, our largest territory, was a standout

performer, with Lookfantastic delivering

exceptional growth and market share gains,

supported by our record-breaking Advent

season and the successful launch of over 80

new brands. This underscores our position as

the prestige beauty destination of choice for a

growing and increasingly loyal customer base.

Alongside driving our retail platforms, we

undertook a significant life cycle investment

across our own brand portfolio.

This was a deliberate programme to refine

formulations, enhance product appeal and

strengthen long-term brand positioning.

While this project constrained growth in parts

of the portfolio during the first half of the

year, the clear benefits were evident as the

year progressed. The successful relaunch

of the Ameliorate range and the improved

second-half performance at Perricone MD

demonstrate the value of this work. We also

expanded the reach of our luxury spa brand,

ESPA, by launching in over 100 M&S stores,

building greater brand visibility with a new

audience.

#### THG Nutrition: Accelerating

#### momentum through omnichannel

#### strategy

A fourth consecutive quarter of revenue

growth was delivered following the transitional

prior year and rebrand. While the year

presented challenges and margin pressure

with record whey commodity prices, we made

the strategic decision in the second half

to absorb some of these costs. This was a

deliberate choice to support our customers,

protect our market-leading position, and invest

in long-term loyalty and market share growth.

Our move into offline channels is transforming

the scale and awareness of Myprotein. From

a standing start only a few years ago, we now

have a presence in over 40,000 doors globally.

A cornerstone of this success is our ‘6-aisle

strategy,’ designed to integrate Myprotein into

every part of our customers’ daily lives and

shopping habits. This has been brought to life

through exciting collaborations with

category-leading partners. Our partnership

with global confectionery giant Mars allows

customers to enjoy iconic flavours in their

favourite protein products. In the freezer aisle,

our long-term partner Iceland expanded its

exclusive range to 25 innovative Myprotein

products, including high-protein ice creams and

even breakfast omelettes. Our collaboration with

Müller created the UK’s No.1 protein dessert,

and looking ahead, our recently announced

agreement with Greencore, a European leader

in convenience, will see Myprotein branded

food-to-go launch across major supermarkets.

“ A deliberate strategy to simplify the

Group, enhancing our operational focus

on the high-growth markets within

Beauty and Nutrition.”

These partnerships take the Myprotein brand

far beyond its core D2C offering, placing us in

thehands of millions more consumers.

#### Strategic simplification while

#### overcoming challenges

The key decisions taken to demerge THG

Ingenuity, refinance and de-gear, and

subsequently divest Claremont Ingredients

have been transformative. These actions

represent a deliberate strategy to simplify

the Group, enhance our operational focus on

the high-growth markets within our Beauty

and Nutrition businesses, and create greater

transparency and value for our Shareholders.

The significant cash proceeds from the

Claremont sale have strengthened our balance

sheet and highlight the substantial value

embedded across the Group’s portfolio.

We have proven our ability to build, scale and

monetise valuable assets while protecting our

core operational capabilities through long-term

supply agreements.

While the year was defined by revenue growth

in our key markets, we also faced headwinds.

The record whey prices in Nutrition and the

strategic pivot in Beauty required disciplined

execution. Our team’s ability to navigate these

challenges, while balancing customer support

with our long-term financial health, has been

instrumental in the robust performance we

delivered in the second half of the year.

#### Looking ahead

We enter 2026 with powerful trading

momentum and a clear focus to deliver

sustainable, profitable growth and increase

free cash generation.

We will continue to build on the incredible

success of Myprotein’s global offline and

licensing strategy and leverage our digital

leadership in Beauty to deepen customer

relationships through innovation and

personalisation.

In closing, I would like to express my profound

gratitude to our employees. Their passion,

dedication and resilience have been central

to our success in a year of significant change

and progress.

#### Key trends

The UK online beauty market continues to

perform strongly, with the UK premium beauty

market delivering double-digit growth in 2025

2

.

As the leading online beauty retailer in the UK

with an emphasis towards prestige brands, we

are well positioned in this fast-growing market,

with THG Beauty outperforming the UK market

in the critical fourth quarter trading period

2

.

Another of our key markets, the US, is leading

the way with ecommerce accounting for 41%

of all beauty and personal care sales

3

, ahead

of its overall online retail penetration rate.

Theonline global beauty and personal care

market continues to grow, supported by

digitalpenetration. Consumers are also

utilising digital platforms to research

ingredients, tocompare formulations and

review guidance on skincare routines and

product usage. Technological developments

underpin an immersive experience that

increasingly surpasses physical retail, aiding

product discovery.

Recent trends also highlighted accelerating

consumer interest in skin-first complexion

formats, at-home beauty devices and Korean

beauty, each reflecting the same underlying

shift towards efficacy, routine-building and

results-driven purchasing.

Beauty spending remains robust as

consumers consider beauty products an

integral part of their daily routine, providing a

high degree of resilience to purchases through

the economic cycle. The well-documented

‘lipstick effect’, whereby consumers facing

economic headwinds maintain beauty

spending rather than cutting back, treating

premium products as an accessible form of

everyday indulgence, means the category has

historically strengthened during downturns.

Due to the factors above, growth in the

premium beauty market has outpaced that

of the mass market in recent years

1

. With its

focus on the premium segment of the beauty

market, THG Beauty is ideally placed to benefit

from further premiumisation.

#### Our position

Through our retail sites and owned beauty

brands, we build deep, long-term relationships

with both brand partners and consumers.

Our scale and platform capabilities enable

us to operate across multiple international

markets, accelerate new product development,

and introduce customers to products through

discovery-led shopping journeys.

This underpins our leading positions in our

core territories, the UK and the US, while

providing a strong foundation for further

international growth.

In addition, the breadth and quality of data

generated by our digital customer base is a

meaningful differentiator. These data-driven

insights inform everything from merchandising

and content strategy to product innovation

and brand curation – particularly for emerging

brands seeking targeted exposure and rapid

feedback loops. The regimen-based nature

of our key categories, especially skincare and

haircare, further strengthens our proposition:

consumers often build custom routines suited

to their own needs, creating opportunities

to deepen engagement through education,

expert-led guidance and personalisation.

Finally, we benefit from the structural

advantages of ecommerce. Our platforms

provide effectively unlimited shelf space,

enabling a significantly wider assortment than

traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers can

offer. This breadth, powered by our content,

community and personalisation, positions us

as a destination for discovery and education,

supporting higher conversion, repeat purchase

behaviour and lifetime value.

Our integrated beauty ecosystem, combining

retail platforms, own brands, product

development capability and manufacturing,

enables us to deliver a differentiated digital

beauty experience for consumers and a

compelling, performance-driven route to

market for brands.

#### Our marketplace

#### Future outlook

Looking forward, we anticipate the

following key trends to shape the beauty

market in 2026 and beyond:

•

Consumers increasingly demanding

high performance formulations, with

search growth seen for peptides,

retinol and niacinamide, as well as

emerging active ingredients such as

PDRN, indicating rising ingredient

literacy among consumers.

•

In 2025, searches for skin-first

complexion products surged,

with these products significantly

outperforming traditional colour

cosmetics formats. In 2026 we expect

to see increased focus on these

skin-first cosmetics formulas.

•

Sales of LED devices rose significantly

in 2025, reflecting growing overlap

between beauty and wellness. As

consumers are increasingly looking

for value and convenience, at-home

beauty devices are expected to

continue growing in 2026.

•

Lash serums and treatments were the

fastest-growing cosmetics category

for THG Beauty in 2025, signalling

a shift away from high-maintenance

extensions and false lashes, and we

expect this trend to continue in 2026.

•

Korean beauty (“K-Beauty”) continues

to grow strongly in the Western

Europe and US markets, with

broad-based growth across suncare,

serums and sets, driven by efficacy,

price accessibility and formulation

leadership. In 2026, K-Beauty is

expected to have a major influence

on global formulation standards

due to significant levels of product

awareness.

#### Nutrition, health and wellness

The global nutrition and wellness sector is

valued at over £245bn

1

, with THG Nutrition’s

primary focus expanding beyond the £24bn

2

sports nutrition market to adjacent segments

including activewear (£179bn) and vitamins

(£27bn).

#### Key trends

The global nutrition market continues to

be shaped by several powerful trends.

Consumersare increasingly health-conscious,

seeking nutritionally balanced products

and protein-enhanced options. While

higher-income countries currently lead in

adopting these products, growing economic

development in lower-income regions is

expected to drive future demand.

Weight management drugs, including GLP-1

receptor agonists, are also influencing

consumer behaviour. As these treatments

become more widely used, they are reshaping

purchasing decisions – accelerating interest

in higher-protein, nutrient-dense products,

and reinforcing wider shifts toward healthier

lifestyles and functional nutrition. Furthermore,

government and industry directives continue

to advocate increased daily protein intake.

Digital growth remains another structural

tailwind, particularly in developing markets

where ecommerce penetration remains

relatively low. In addition, consumers are not

only purchasing online, but are also using

digital platforms to research ingredients and

seek guidance on product choice and usage.

In parallel, short-form media has become a

significant driver of discovery and conversion.

Brands that can translate product efficacy

into clear, engaging and educational content

are increasingly well placed to win attention,

buildtrust and convert demand across a

broadset of consumer segments.

#### Our position

The sports nutrition industry remains highly

fragmented, comprising a small number of

scaled global brands alongside a long tail of

smaller, locally focused players. As the largest

online sports nutrition brand globally, and

amongst the most internationally diversified,

Myprotein is optimally positioned to benefit

from the continued shift to ecommerce across

markets. The depth of localisation embedded

within our technology, marketing and

operating platform, further positions Myprotein

to reach new audiences.

Our direct-to-consumer model also remains

a core strength. It enables direct engagement

with consumers, a personalised end-to-end

shopping experience, and rich data insights

into customer behaviour. These data

advantages inform merchandising, content

and product innovation, helping us to respond

quickly to emerging trends and refine our

proposition by market and customer segment.

These advantages are further complemented

by our vertical integration in product

development and manufacturing, which

enables shortened launch cycles, high control

over product quality, improved availability and

the agility to adapt to changes in demand.

Alongside our D2C leadership, we have

broadened our route-to-market in recent years

through selective expansion into traditional

retail channels. This diversification has

broadened our revenue mix, increased brand

visibility and enabled us to reach a wider range

of consumers and purchasing occasions,

including those who prefer in-store shopping

or convenience formats. Together, these

initiatives strengthen our presence across both

online and offline channels and position the

brand to capture a wider set of category and

distribution opportunities.

#### Future outlook

Looking ahead, we anticipate the

following key trends to shape the

nutrition, health and wellness market

in2026 and beyond:

•

A global shift towards health-focused

protein intake could cause demand

to rise by +37%. This would equate

to an incremental market value of

approximately $650bn. Protein is

evolving from a generic health claim

to a multifunctional driver of wellness

– it is no longer niche, but mainstream.

70% of global consumers believe

they are proactive in managing their

health,and 57% say they prioritise

‘ageing well’ more than they did five

years ago

1

.

•

Weight management drugs are

increasingly influencing consumer

behaviour, reinforcing structural

shifts towards protein-rich and

nutrient-dense products – a demand

tailwind for Myprotein.

•

Consumers are increasingly adopting

‘on-the-go’ routines, accelerating

growth in convenience formats such

as bars, snacks, ready-to-drink and

single-serve offerings. Myprotein

is well placed to win here through

innovation in taste, nutrition and

accessibility, supported by increasing

brand awareness and the capability

to develop and scale products quickly

across markets.

•

Digital-first education and short-form

media are reshaping how consumers

discover and evaluate nutrition

products. Brands that simplify

complex nutrition through clear,

verified product claims, quality

content and practical guidance stand

to gain share – an advantage for

Myprotein given our D2C first model,

rigorous focus on product quality and

testing, and influencer-led marketing

approach.

•

Rising ecommerce penetration and

improving incomes in developing

markets, alongside growing

investment in health and wellness,

provide a tailwind for sports nutrition

and wellness demand. Myprotein

is ideally positioned to capture this

demand through strong localisation

and international infrastructure.

# Beauty

THG Beauty operates in the prestige segment of the

global beauty market, which comprises a number of

brands owned by global beauty and consumer groups

alongside a range of independent brands. Prestige brands

are generally characterised by a higher price point, more

selective distribution channels, ahigh level of active

ingredients, a more curated product offering and richer

brand heritage than mass-market beauty brands.

With an unparalleled attention to detail,

we act as a trusted source for product

discovery and education, alongside offering

a frictionless purchasing experience. We

strive to maintain digital and category

leadership by constantly evolving to meet

customer needs and shifting beauty trends.

Revenue growth of +0.2% (continuing CCY)

and EBITDA margins within medium-term

guidance delivered through strategic

product curation and exclusive launches,

driving long-term profitability.

#### Business overview

•

Owner and operator of three major online

beauty retailers: Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty

and Dermstore.

•

Critical route to market for over 1,000

brands in high-repeat, regime-based

categories with a focus on the prestige

segments of skincare, haircare, fragrance

and cosmetics.

•

Own brand portfolio with clinically proven

ingredients focused on the more prominent

growth opportunities in prestige skincare,

spa and specialist products.

•

New product development through

in-house, vertically integrated

manufacturing capabilities in the UK and

USfor own brand and third-party brands.

•

Highly loyal customer base with 89%

of THG Beauty revenue generated from

returning customers.

THG Beauty’s strategy is to deliver a leading

digital customer experience, product

assortment and elevated brand positioning,

while generating sustainable, profitable

growth.

Its strategic priorities are:

1.  to maintain its position as the world’s

largest online pure-play prestige beauty

retailer;

2.  to support global beauty brands in

addressing the channel shift in marketing

spend from offline to online;

3. to develop a digitally focused portfolio of

prestige owned brands, providing margin

enhancement and differentiation; and

4. to provide innovation and product

development services directly to the

beautyindustry.

#### Beauty edits

Beauty boxes and specialist edits serve as a strategic tool for enabling product discovery

and reaching new, dedicated audiences, particularly through successful collaborations

with our influencer networks. By creating limited-edition curated boxes featuring products

across categories, we offer customers unparalleled value and innovation.

The category, which includes our highly popular beauty advent calendars, is

margin-enhancing and delivered over 20% revenue growth in the year, supported by an

increase in UK subscriptions for monthly edits. Beauty boxes also remain a powerful and

effective tool for customer acquisition and retention.

#### Operational overview

This year, our core priority was to sharpen our focus on meeting

our customers’ needs. We accomplished this by using our

loyalty programmes to offer unmatched value and by improving

our website and mobile applications to aid product discovery

and streamline the purchasing experience. In addition, through

the year our territory mix shifted to focus on home markets,

where fulfilment efficiencies created higher margin, the effect

ofwhich decreased Active Customers and total orders. Now

with a healthier and more engaged customer base we have seen

continuing CCY revenue growth and sustained margins, with 89%

of ourrevenue now generated by existing customers.

Across categories we saw growth in fragrance, haircare,

cosmetics and skincare, each at a rate that outperformed

the totalUK beauty market

1

. This achievement comes from a

relentless focus on category curation. By ensuring we balance

newness with established and reputable brands, we have

successfully deepened our market penetration in both established

and high-growth segments.

In parallel, we strengthened our relationships with suppliers to

create mutually beneficial partnerships. Our industry-leading retail

media proposition provided suppliers a direct platform to connect

with a large, engaged audience, helping strengthen supplier

relationships. Furthermore, events like our Beauty Supplier

Summit have fostered collaboration and shared insights into the

future of the beauty industry. These initiatives have enabled us

to secure Lookfantastic exclusives from trending brands, further

strengthening our overall proposition.

Active Customers overall reduced YoY due to the intentional

strategy to de-prioritise parts of Europe, Asia and Australia.

Focusing on the UK, we’re seeing a more engaged customer

base, with an increase in AOV, order frequency and total orders

providing evidence for a healthy and engaged customer base in

that territory.

Ameliorate completed a full rebrand in 2025, including changes

to their whole packaging range, and now participates in the

Prevented Ocean Plastic™ (“POP”) scheme, ensuring that:

•

Packaging is sourced from manufacturers using Prevented

Ocean Plastic™; so where you see the POP symbol on our

packaging, it means one or more packaging components

include at least 30% post-consumer recycled content (“PCR”).

•

Over 50,000 tonnes of plastic have been prevented from

entering oceans using this scheme; that’s more than

2.5billionbottles.

#### Strategic Report

#### THG Beauty continued

#### Own brand portfolio

Our own brand proposition is supported by

manufacturing capabilities in the UK and US,

led by our flagship skincare brands – Perricone

MD, Biossance and ESPA.

We have seen sustained momentum through

2025, with brand investments in packaging

and formulation in Perricone MD and ESPA

yielding results. B2B and global spa listings

have helped to build on brand visibility and

awareness and leveraged access to new

markets.

Perricone MD showed improved performance

following strategic investment in brand and

formulation. The ESPA brand also saw a

significant increase in visibility, with 60 SKUs

launched across more than 100 M&S stores

and online. In line with our sustainability goals,

the Ameliorate product line was successfully

relaunched, now featuring Prevented Ocean

Plastic™ in its packaging.

#### Financial performance

During 2025, THG Beauty delivered revenue

of£1,108m (-5.4% YoY; +0.2% Continuing CCY).

Following a slower than anticipated start

to the year, THG Beauty gained momentum

through the second half, delivering H2 revenue

growth of +5.4%.

As part of our intentional strategy to

de-prioritise parts of Europe, Asia and

Australia, the UK and Ireland delivered

revenuegrowth of 6.3%. This standout

performance was underpinned by strong

customer health metrics. We have effectively

leveraged our established distribution network

and strong brand recognition to provide

a market-leading online proposition and

high-margin sales in home territories.

Although Adjusted EBITDA decreased, our

margin remained in line with medium-term

guidance, establishing a more refined

foundation for future performance. The

strategic actions implemented in 2025 are

expected to deliver sustained revenue and

EBITDA in 2026, as we continue to prioritise

our home markets to drive sustainable growth

towards our target margin.

#### Strategic highlights

During 2025 we undertook strategic

investment to keep our proposition fresh

and to aid product discovery. As part of this

we saw a record-breaking sale of our 2025

advent calendar campaign and launched over

80 new brands, including the prestigious Gucci

Beauty. Revenue from new brands increased

by +40% compared to the previous year.

By the end of 2025, the Lookfantastic loyalty

programme had grown significantly, with

membership increasing by 0.6 million to over

3.5 million customers. This programme offers

exclusive benefits like early access to sales

and the ability to earn points on purchases,

providing valuable insights into customer

spending habits. The data reveals that loyalty

customers spend approximately 32% more

than non-loyalty customers, with higher

order frequency and AOV. We also enhanced

our mobile applications with a more intuitive

and personalised interface, implementing

AI tools to improve product discovery and

streamline the purchasing process. These

mobile app improvements, which have led

to a year-on-year increase in app revenue,

have been instrumental in deepening our

understanding of customer purchasing

habitsand ensuring we can meet their

evolving needs.

Across our manufacturing businesses we’re

taking responsible action to minimise our

impact on the environment and innovate for

the future of the beauty industry. Through

our partnership with Clean Food Group, THG

Labs has launched CLEAN OIL™ 25, the

first sustainable alternative to traditional oil

and fat ingredients to be approved in the

United Kingdom, Europe and United States.

The approval marks a major milestone in

the commercialisation of this technology,

unlocking access to the high-value global

personal care and cosmetics sector.

#### Retail media

THG Beauty Media enables brands to connect with a large and engaged audience through

bespoke, data-driven campaigns.

Brand partners gain access to crucial data and insights that unlock significant growth

opportunities. By leveraging our strategic partnerships with data experts like Criteo,

LiveRamp and Zitcha, partners can understand brand loyalty, optimise purchase frequency,

and turn shopper data into actionable strategies that measurably drive marketshare.

By launching THG Beauty Media, we are tapping into the rapidly growing retail media market,

which is projected to exceed £1bn in the UK by 2025. This creates a significant new revenue

stream for the business and strengthens our relationships with key brand partners and helps

them grow, fostering a more collaborative and successful ecosystem.

#### Dermstore x Flex

During 2025 Dermstore partnered with Flex, a payment infrastructure provider, to allow US

customers to use their Health Savings Account (“HSA”) and Flexible Spending Account

(“FSA”) funds at checkout. Thismakes Dermstore one of the first major beauty ecommerce

sites inthe US to offer this payment method for dermatologist-recommended skincare.

The goal of the partnership is to make dermatological products more accessible by

allowing consumers to pay with pre-tax healthcare dollars. For customers, this simplifies

the purchasing process for eligible items, as they can shop and pay directly without

needing to submit claims or manage paperwork after the transaction.

This initiative aligns with Dermstore’s focus on supporting customers in their skin health

journeys by providing more convenient and affordable access to recommended products.

“ Accepting HSA/FSA cards at checkout is a key milestone for us in

our commitment to supporting beauty shoppers to invest in their

own skin health routines, and we are proud to be among the first

beauty-focused ecommerce platforms to do so.”

#### James Bonner

President of US Retail at Dermstore

#### Lookfantastic x Uber

In December, we launched a landmark partnership with Uber Eats to introduce

same-day delivery across selected London postcodes. The initiative was

designed to remove ‘December delivery anxiety’ by offering customers certainty,

speed and convenience at the height of the festive season. Using Uber Eats’s

hyper-local fulfilment network, we enabled shoppers to order from a curated edit

of our most sought-after products for delivery in as little as one hour, right up to

and including Christmas Day.

Customer convenience is proven time and time again as a lucrative customer

acquisition tool. With this partnership we were able capture the last-minute

festive shopping window and gain a competitive edge. The collaboration drove

incremental sales by meeting our customers exactly where they are, reinforcing

Lookfantastic’s market leadership in beauty and delivering iconic luxury products

in record time.

THG Nutrition operates within the expansive and

rapidly growing global nutrition and wellness sector,

encompassing sports nutrition, vitamins, supplements,

hydration and activewear. This market offers significant

growth potential for Myprotein through category and

channel penetration, in addition to product innovation.

Myprotein has expanded its appeal in

high-growth performance and wellness

categories, broadening the brand appeal

and awareness to a more diverse ‘active

lifestyle’ audience.

Revenue growth has been delivered through

a combination of category expansion,

growth in the offline retail footprint and

pricing evolution.

#### Business overview

•

Increasingly omnichannel model, with a

growing offline presence building on a

market-leading D2C position.

•

Vertically integrated manufacturing

capabilities to power new and improved

product development and speed to market.

•

Presence in major territories with a proven

localisation model, enabling rapid scaling

inemerging territories.

•

Operating across multiple categories

in the growing global wellness space,

with consumers taking greater control,

prioritising products and services which

enhance wellbeing.

•

Unique to the category licensing

model, monetising the brand IP and

building awareness through multi-year,

multi-territory agreements.

We offer a broad range of products and

convenient formats, with this breadth allowing

us to serve multiple consumer needs and

occasions, from everyday wellness and

lifestyle support through to performance

andsports-focused routines.

The primary distribution channel is D2C,

enabling deeper customer engagement

andinsights.

In recent years, we have focused on growth

in retail channels and through licensing

partnerships, enabling us to reach an even

wider addressable market.

Myprotein’s strategy is to build category

leadership in both online and offline

spaces across developed and emerging

markets, capitalising on the long-term

trend of consumers becoming increasingly

health-conscious.

Its strategic priorities are:

1.  maintaining Myprotein’s position

as theworld’s largest online sports

nutritionbrand;

2.  increasing offline presence to enhance

customer reach through retail, gyms

andexperiences;

3. developing Myprotein’s customer base from

‘specialist gym-goer’ to a broader ‘active

lifestyle’ audience; and

4. evolving the brand to broaden appeal,

earning the right to play in high-growth

performance and wellness categories.

The global wellness market is growing

steadily, driven by a long-term shift towards

greater health awareness among consumers.

This is a competitive space, with both new

and established brands vying for market

share, often focusing on specific regions or

product categories. Within this landscape,

THG Nutrition aims to stand out through

three key strengths: a vertically integrated

business model (meaning it controls much

of its own supply chain and production), a

strong direct-to-consumer digital platform,

and a growing presence across multiple

sales channels. This combination gives it a

meaningful and lasting edge over competitors.

2025 was undoubtedly MP Activewear’s

year, now representing 12% of online

was driven by a strategic shift to core,

evergreen products, astronger brand

perception aligned with the broader

Myprotein repositioning, and focused

marketing to drive both demand

andhigher-margin sales.

The exceptional growth in this category

demonstrates our ability to evolve

A year of renewed vigour and

#### strategic advancement

In 2025, THG Nutrition executed a significant

strategic repositioning, enabling a return

to robust revenue growth and reinforcing

its market leadership in the global nutrition

and wellness sector. Our performance was

underpinned by a renewed focus on brand

strength, disciplined channel strategy, and

product innovation.

#### Operational review

Guided by a clear and long-standing

missionto ‘empower those who demand

more’, our flagship brand, Myprotein, returned

to revenue growth, powerfully leveraging

the benefits of its brand repositioning. Our

focus on refining the D2C channel as the

ultimate consumer destination, coupled

with a dynamicomnichannel strategy, has

solidifiedour market-leading position.

Category expansion has been an ongoing

priority, and we are seeing healthy demand in

areas outside of our core protein categories

including vitamins, hydration and activewear.

Offline channels have enabled us to stretch

this further with measured investment.

Through a combination of B2B retail and

licensing, we have taken Myprotein into

new markets, engaged new customers and

broadened brand awareness and preference.

This strategic pivot dramatically improved

unaided brand awareness, brand consideration,

and brand preference, setting a new trajectory

for sustainable growth in both D2C and offline

channels.

While we have expanded our retail

footprint and acquired new audiences,

ourD2C channel remained the heart of our

customer relationship and brand experience,

enabling customers to shop frictionlessly

at their convenience, while discovering new

productsto complement their health and

wellness regime.

The positive momentum sparked by the brand

repositioning is underpinning recovery of our

Active Customer database and supporting

new customer acquisition.

Strong engagement and loyalty are clearly

reflected across our customer database, with

39% of our audience choosing to download

and shop via the app. This is a particularly

powerful indicator of customer commitment,

with those who take the step of downloading

the app actively demonstrating a higher

level of investment in the brand, signalling

long-term loyalty and a deeper connection

with our offering.

#### Strategic Report

#### THG Nutrition continued

#### Financial performance

THG Nutrition achieved its strongest revenue

growth in over two years, with sales rising

5.0% YoY. This was driven by the omnichannel

expansion strategy, alongside gradual price

increases and better alignment across

customer channels. The sale of Claremont

Ingredients reduced full-year revenue growth

by 50bps.

The business continued to broaden its mix

of territories, sales channels and product

categories, reflecting growing global demand

for protein products. However, the cost of

whey has remained high, driven by strong

global demand meeting new supply capacity.

This has pushed up consumer prices across

the nutrition industry as a whole and added

pressure on gross margins. We continue

to manage this dynamic, balancing margin

protection with customer retention.

Distribution and payroll efficiencies helped to

offset marketing investment in support of new

customer acquisition and retention, with

Adjusted EBITDA of £28.8m (-16.5%) primarily

impacted by the gross margin decline (-140bps).

#### Strategic highlights

Breaking down the barriers of the fitness

industry and empowering consumers to live

a healthier, more active lifestyle remains

fundamental to the brand. Myprotein now

provides a wide array of products across

various segments of the global nutrition

market, with our 2025 performance reflecting

a disciplined execution of our core strategies,

particularly in increasing our offline presence

to enhance customer reach.

#### Delivering excellence across

#### allchannels

Selective product pricing has driven online

growth, complemented by a targeted

approach to social commerce and

marketplace channels. These channels have

been selectively used to launch exclusive

products, creating excitement and reaching

new demographics. A notable success was

Myprotein claiming the title as the highest

growth brand on TikTok shop across the

healthand wellness category in Q1.

Together, marketplaces (e.g. Amazon), B2B retail,

licensing and social commerce (e.g. TikTok)

delivered double-digit revenue growth.

#### Offline

The growth of our physical retail approach

continued at pace throughout 2025, with

new retail listings secured both in the UK

andinternationally. Myprotein products

are now available in over 40,000 doors

worldwide,principally in the UK, US and

Asia.This expansion has been accelerated

bykey strategic partnerships. Walmart

provided a boost to the growth strategy in

theUS, while 7-Eleven in Asia has provided

similar growth momentum alongside Costco

and Decathlon. This physical presence

enhances brand visibility and provides

newtouchpoints forcustomer acquisition.

The US represents one of our biggest growth

opportunities. With a large, health-conscious

and well-educated consumer base, we are

strategically positioning Myprotein to become

a more significant player in the market over

the medium term. To capture this opportunity,

we are taking a bold approach to rapidly build

brand awareness, anchored by a focused

portfolio of locally manufactured products.

Byleaning into an offline-first strategy,

weareactively closing the visibility gap

and laying the foundations for Myprotein

toestablish a meaningful brand presence.

#### Retail expansion

We are targeting an installed base globally

of 100,000 doors, and within many doors in

multiple aisles. We are over a third of the way

there through partnerships with major retailers

and category-leading partners, all of which

have been carefully curated to align with our

brand principles at a positive contribution level

with room to scale.

We now sell across six distinct categories

including dairy, frozen foods, healthy snacking

and food to go.

The focus will now turn to replicating this

licensing-out model into wider regions,

particularly in Korea and Japan, cementing

brand presence through offline and

marketplace distribution.

#### Licensing and strategic

#### collaborations

The continued expansion of our capital-light

licensing strategy extended Myprotein into

new categories and occasions.

A hero Mars collaboration, which saw the

launch of Snickers-flavoured Impact Whey

Protein, proved to be an instant success. The

wider roster, including global IP from Marvel

and Chupa Chups, continued to extend our

brand reach.

Our licensing-out strategy also matured

significantly. Myprotein x Müller Mousse

ranked as the number one protein dessert in

UK retail, and Myprotein x Kirsty’s lunch pots

ranked as the number one brand for loyalty in

chilled protein ready meals. The Iceland range

continued to develop, demonstrating brand

strength and adaptability.

Licensing agreements with category leaders

led to sales of over 43 million Myprotein units

into retail during 2025. This strategy leverages

its global brand recognition alongside

specialised manufacturing and distribution.

Our commitment to quality:

#### Myprotein Performance

#### Advisory Board

The Myprotein Performance Advisory Board has been established to bring together

leading global experts in fitness and nutrition to drive innovation and ensure that

Myprotein products are grounded in scientific evidence. Theboard is comprised of a

distinguished group of academics, scientists and elite athletes who are leaders in the

field of sports nutrition.

The primary objective of the Performance Advisory Board is to combine innovation,

evidence-based research and emerging science with practical, real-world application

tocreate effective nutrition solutions.

The board’s experts collaborate with Myprotein’s team to ensure every supplement

is evidence-based and scientifically validated, from formulation development to

research-backed validation. Theinsights from the board directly influence Myprotein’s

product innovation and communication of thescience behind its products.

#### Strategic Report

#### Chief Financial Officer’s Review

#### Overview of FY 2025 result

Key highlights include:

•

THG Beauty delivered improving momentum

throughout the year, culminating in a record

final quarter of revenue. While statutory

revenue decreased to £1,107.9m, this is

largely reflective of the annualisation of the

exit of non-core brands and territories. The

business enters 2026 supported by the

strong underlying growth momentum built

in Q4 2025, particularly in the UK and US

and delivered an Adjusted EBITDA margin of

5.9%, in line with our medium-term guidance.

•

THG Nutrition demonstrated remarkable

resilience, returning to revenue growth of

+5.0%, (Continuing CCY +6.4%) despite

facing exceptionally elevated whey

commodity prices and unprecedented

weakness in the Japanese yen that

has resulted in a decision to change

theeconomic model in this territory.

This performance was driven by the

successful global expansion of our offline

retail and licensing channels, alongside

strong growth in adjacent categories

suchas activewear and creatine.

•

The Group focused on driving sustainable

growth in its core UK and US markets in

2025, while reshaping its approach in Asia

and Europe to prioritise higher margin sales

and improved operating models. The UK

delivered strong double digit growth and

market share gains across both divisions,

while the US remained a key strategic

market despite softer first half consumer

sentiment and currency headwinds.

•

The Group ended the year in a highly

liquid position, with c.£333m of cash and

available facilities, providing substantial

financial flexibility and asolid foundation

forthe future.

The strategic transformation was supported

by a well-executed refinancing, which has

extended our debt facilities to 2029 and

significantly reduced our external borrowings.

Our focus on optimising the Group’s portfolio

delivered a powerful proof point for the

underlying value of our assets, demonstrated

by the disposal ofClaremont Ingredients

for £103m – more than double our initial

investment. Theproceeds have been used

toaccelerate our deleveraging plans.

Throughout the year, we maintained rigorous

financial discipline and cost control, delivering

savings through a combination of automation,

procurement efficiencies, and the removal of

approximately 500 roles. These actions have

created a leaner operating model and helped

mitigate significant external headwinds,

positioning the Group for sustainable,

profitable growth.

“ For THG, 2025 was a transformational year. The successful

demerger of THG Ingenuity at the start of the period

has reshaped the Group, creating a more focused and

agile consumer brands business poised for future cash

generation. Our refinancing materially strengthened the

balance sheet by reducing external borrowings. With £333m

of liquidity and strong momentum across THG Beauty and

THG Nutrition, we enter 2026 well positioned to deliver

sustainable profitable growth.”

#### Strategic Report

#### Chief Financial Officer’s Review continued

#### THG Beauty

THG Beauty demonstrated improving momentum and strategic progress throughout 2025, culminating in a record revenue performance in the

second half of the year. The strategic initiatives undertaken have successfully repositioned the business for sustainable, profitable growth, with

thedivision delivering a resilient financial performance in a year of transition.

Adjusted revenue for the year was £1,107.9m (2024: £1,171.1m), a -5.4% decrease. However, this was significantly impacted by the planned strategic

changes to the portfolio. After accounting for foreign exchange movements, revenue on a continuing CCY basis grew by +0.2%, reflecting the

underlying health and growth of the core business. The walk from our statutory sales performance to the continuing CCY position reflects several

deliberate, value-accretive actions:

•

Discontinued categories: The largest driver of the statutory revenue decline was the annualisation of exited non-core and loss-making

operations. This included the disposal of the luxury portfolio and the discontinuation of the Australian beauty retail business, European

subscription box services, and non-core brands such as Grow Gorgeous. These actions accounted for a drag of 460bps on full-year statutory

revenue growth but were critical in improving the margin profile of the ongoing business.

•

Strategic territory prioritisation: A conscious decision was made to reduce lower-margin sales activity and pull back on promotional intensity

in parts of Europe and Asia. This focus on higher-quality revenue streams created a headwind of 70bps but ensures a more profitable and

sustainable footprint in these regions. The drag from this activity sequentially reduced throughout the year and has now largely annualised.

•

Own brand repositioning: Ongoing life cycle investment to enhance formulations, range and product appeal across our own-brand portfolio

caused a short-term drag on revenue, contributing a further 190bps. A key part of this was the migration of the Perricone MD brand from a

first-party (“1P”) to a third-party (“3P”) distribution model on Amazon, which, while impacting short-term sales, positions the brand for greater

long-term strength.

The year was a tale of two halves. A challenging first quarter, set against a tough comparative period, gave way to accelerating momentum,

culminating in the strongest quarter of the year in Q4 (+6.3% Continuing CCY). This was driven by a particularly strong Cyber trading period and

exceptional performance in core markets. The UK was a standout, with Lookfantastic UK delivering +16.2% growth during the key Cyber period,

driving market share gains. Performance in the US market also saw progressive improvement through the year, with the introduction of new

payment methods on Dermstore driving sales momentum and excellent new customer acquisition into year end.

Adjusted gross profit margin for the year stood at 39.3% (2024: 40.0%). This slight moderation reflects the mix impact from the repositioning

of the higher-margin own-brand portfolio during the year. The performance remains firmly within our medium-term guided range of 38%–40%,

demonstrating disciplined management of our pricing and promotional strategies.

Adjusted EBITDA was £65.8m, delivering a 5.9% margin (2024: 6.1%). This performance is in line with our medium-term guidance of c.6% and

reflects the portfolio simplification completed in 2025, which removed structurally loss-making territories. These benefits have now annualised,

partly offsetting revenue headwinds. The profitability was supported by marked operational efficiencies, most notably in distribution costs, which

improved by 70bps as a percentage of revenue to 9.6%. This was driven by a favourable territory mix from stronger UK performance, where our

automated facilities are concentrated. Furthermore, disciplined cost management and automation-led payroll savings helped to offset inflationary

pressures and planned strategic marketing investments aimed at driving brand awareness and high-quality customer acquisition.

We enter 2026 with strong trading momentum and high confidence, having successfully executed our strategic priorities for THG Beauty in 2025.

#### THG Nutrition

THG Nutrition returned to sales growth, despite significant external headwinds, reporting revenue of £609.1m (2024: £580.3m), representing

statutory sales growth of +5.0%. This performance reflects the successful pivot towards an omnichannel strategy and the growing momentum

from the global Myprotein rebrand.

After accounting for the disposal of Claremont Ingredients, which created a drag of 40bps, and significant foreign exchange headwinds, primarily

from the sustained weakness of the Japanese yen, which impacted growth by a further 100bps, the Continuing CCY revenue growth was +6.4%.

The performance was materially stronger excluding Asia, where the combination of elevated whey prices and the adverse currency environment

rendered the D2C model uneconomic, prompting a strategic transition towards a partnership-led distribution model in the region for which the

Group will transition in H1 2026. Excluding Asia, H2 revenue growth was +13.3%, driven by strong progress in offline channels, including B2B retail

and licensing, alongside a resilient performance in the UK and notable growth in Central and Eastern Europe. Growth was also strong in categories

such as creatine, activewear and hydration, which helped to reduce dependency on whey-based products.

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

24

![]()

Adjusted gross profit margin was 43.2% (2024: 44.6%), a decrease of 140bps, which was a resilient performance in the face of two significant,

persistent external headwinds. The higher-for-longer whey pricing environment continued throughout the year, with input costs remaining

materially above historical levels, creating substantial margin pressure. This was compounded by the continued weakness of the Japanese yen,

which made the cost of business in one of Myprotein’s largest historical markets increasingly challenging. These pressures were partially mitigated

by a disciplined approach to pricing, a mix shift into higher-margin categories including activewear, which represented 15% of sales in Q4, and the

growth of high-margin licensing revenue.

Consequently, the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year was 4.7% (2024: 5.9%), a decrease of 120bps. This reduction was a direct result of the

gross margin pressures from the unprecedented whey costs and adverse currency movements. The Group’s significant cost-saving programme,

which delivered payroll efficiencies through automation and process improvements, helped to partially offset these headwinds. The business enters

2026 with strong momentum, having delivered four consecutive quarters of revenue growth, and is well positioned to capitalise on its expanded

omnichannel presence and diversified product portfolio.

#### VAT update

The Group notes the First Tier Tribunal decision in Global By Nature Limited, selling protein products under the ‘Sunwarrior’ brand. The Tribunal ruled

that protein powder products sold by Sunwarrior should be subject to 0% UK VAT, and accordingly, Sunwarrior was eligible for a retrospective VAT

repayment and is able to apply 0% VAT on the associated products from the date of the ruling (January 2025).

Since the VAT rules in relation to sports drinks were implemented in 2012, THG has paid UK VAT against its powdered products in line with market

practice and HMRC guidance relating to the VAT treatment of protein powders. THG has submitted Error Correction Notices to HMRC, who have

stated they will provide a substantive update by the end of Spring 2026.

#### Central costs

Central costs for the year reduced to £18.0m (2024: £22.2m), representing approximately 1.0% of Group sales. These costs relate primarily to

the PLC Board remuneration, insurance, professional services fees, Group finance, corporate development and governance costs that are not

recharged to the businesses as they principally relate to the operations of the PLC holding company. This sustained improvement is the direct

result of a Group-wide cost-saving programme, a simplified group post demerger and the Group automating through the use of AI.

The Group’s strategic focus in 2025 was centred on driving sustainable growth in our core markets of the UK and US, alongside a deliberate

repositioning in Asia and Europe. This involved prioritising higher-margin sales and evolving our operating models, a process that has now largely

cycled through, setting a strong foundation for future performance but which also shifted the regional mix of sales.

The UK continues to be the largest and most concentrated market for the Group, accounting for 53% of revenue (2024: 47%) and growing +10.8%

in the year. The year saw a standout performance in the UK, with market share gains across both divisions. THG Beauty delivered an especially

strong performance, with Lookfantastic UK achieving impressive growth of +16.2% in the final quarter, driven by strong new customer acquisition

anda record-breaking festive trading period. THG Nutrition also delivered a solid performance, maintaining its position as the UK’s number one

sports nutrition brand.

The US remains a key strategic market with significant growth potential. The first half of the year presented challenges due to cautious consumer

sentiment and US dollar headwinds, the weakness in the dollar and other factors led to statutory sales falling -18.2%. A strong improvement was

seen as the year progressed, THG Nutrition’s expansion into US retail was a highlight, with new listings in major retailers such as Walmart and GNC

significantly expanding our offline presence.

In Europe and the Rest of the World, revenue declined as a direct result of strategic actions. Within THG Beauty, we consciously reduced

promotional activity and exited certain low-margin sales activities across Europe and Asia. For THG Nutrition, performance in Asia was significantly

impacted by the sustained and adverse weakness of the Japanese yen, combined with elevated whey protein costs, which rendered the

direct-to-consumer model uneconomic and was the largest factor behind the 20.3% sales decline in the region. In response, we are finalising

atransition to a more profitable partnership-led distribution and licensing model in the region.

#### Revenue

Group statutory continuing revenue decreased by -1.9% to £1,717.9m (2024: £1,751.4m), a result directly impacted by strategic decisions to exit

non-profitable businesses and territories, which reduced full-year growth by 320bps. Macroeconomic challenges in Asia, notably the weak

Japanese yen and elevated whey prices, also necessitated a shift to a partnership-led model for THG Nutrition in the region.

This was significantly offset by a record second-half performance (+6.8% CCY), which while on a statutory basis revenue declined, on a constant

currency basis, when the impact of the discontinued categories are removed increased by +2.3%. This recovery was fuelled by the success of

THG Nutrition's offline and licensing expansion and a marked acceleration in THG Beauty, which delivered a very strong final quarter with robust

momentum in the UK and US markets.

#### Gross profit

Adjusted gross profit was £698.9m (2024: £727.5m) equating to an adjusted margin of 40.7% (2024: 41.5%), a reduction of 80bps compared to 2024.

The YoY margin reduction was driven by the significant external headwinds faced by THG Nutrition. The business contended with a

higher-for-longer whey price environment, with input costs remaining at exceptionally elevated levels, creating near-term margin pressure. This

was compounded by the sustained weakness of the Japanese yen, which rendered the D2C model in Asia uneconomic. The division has actively

worked to mitigate these impacts through targeted price increases, product reformulation, and a successful mix-shift towards higher-margin

categories such as hydration, creatine and clothing.

THG Beauty delivered margins in line with its medium-term guidance range of 38-40%, despite the repositioning of its own-brand portfolio earlier

in the year.

Gross profit on a statutory basis totalled £688.0m, delivering a margin of 40.0% (2024: 39.6%). In addition to the factors above, the statutory

position in 2025 was impacted by adjusting items relating to the Group’s continued strategic review and portfolio optimisation.

#### Distribution costs

Adjusted distribution costs of £211.4m (2024: £229.5m) equate to 12.3% of revenue (2024: 13.1%). This significant improvement of 80bps is a result

of an improved regional mix, with stronger growth in the UK where sales concentration and warehouse automation is highest. The continued focus

on improving average order values across both divisions also drove further efficiency into the Group’s distribution network.

Distribution costs on a statutory basis were £215.4m, being 12.5% of revenue (2024: 13.2%). The statutory result for 2025 also reflects changes to

the Group’s lease portfolio and associated depreciation following the demerger of THG Ingenuity, alongside the impact of adjusting items.

#### Administration costs

Adjusted administrative costs as a percentage of revenue totalled 23.9% (2024: 23.7%). Throughout 2025, the Group executed a significant cost-

saving programme which has right-sized the cost base of the business, with payroll costs improving by 100bps year-on-year, driven by the removal

of c.500 roles through a combination of restructures, attrition and the accelerated adoption of AI to automate and improve business processes.

These substantial savings were delivered despite headwinds from national insurance and national minimum wage increases, which added c.£8m

of cost. Furthermore, a conscious investment was made in marketing during the year to support the successful return to growth in the second half,

driving new customer acquisition and brand awareness. Adjusted administrative costs reduced by £3.7m to £410.9m (2024: £414.6m), reflecting

the successful cost-saving initiatives more than offsetting the planned investment in marketing and inflationary pressures.

Administrative costs on a statutory basis totalled £525.0m (2024: £610.5m), decreasing year on year due to a significant reduction in adjusteditems.

#### Strategic Report

#### Adjusted items

In order to understand the underlying performance of the Group, certain costs included within cost of sales, distribution and administrative

expenses have been classified as adjusted items. Adjusted items decreased significantly year on year, totalling £30.2m in 2025, representing a

reduction of almost £95m compared to 2024 (£124.5m).

Adjusting items in the current year primarily comprise one-off costs associated with strategic reviews as the Group continues to pivot towards a

simpler economic model and adapt to the prevailing macroeconomic environment, alongside restructuring costs arising from headcount reductions

as processes are simplified and the Group further embraces AI.

The significant reduction relative to the prior year is principally driven by a reduction in the level of impairment charges, with £57.5m recognised in

2024 (£9.0m in 2025). For full details of each category of adjusted items, see note 4 to the financial statements.

#### Profit on disposal of subsidiary

The strategic disposal of Claremont Ingredients completed in August 2025 for cash proceeds of c.£103m, generating a profit on disposal of

£60.5m. This accounting gain, which represents the excess of proceeds over the carrying value of the divested net assets, marks an excellent

return on the initial investment of c.£52m in late 2020.

#### Depreciation and amortisation

Statutory depreciation and amortisation costs were £32.5m and £58.4m respectively (2024: £24.8m and £65.4m). Included within amortisation is

£41.9m (2024: £45.5m) of amortisation on acquired intangibles (see below) relating to historic acquisitions.

Amortisation has reduced following disposal of intangible assets as part of the sale of Claremont Ingredients. The increase in depreciation is due to

the new leases entered into following demerger which has led to an increase in depreciation on right-of-use assets.

#### Amortisation on acquired intangibles £41.9m (2024: £45.5m)

When an acquisition is made, the accounting standards (IFRS 3: Business Combinations) require that an exercise is undertaken to value any

brands, trade names or other intellectual property (such as customer lists). Following recognition of these assets, they are amortised over a period

of 2-20 years.

Given the number of significant acquisitions made across 2017 to 2022, primarily within THG Beauty, we consider this amount should be viewed

separately to other amortisation to ensure comparability to those who undertook fewer or no acquisitions. This is a non-cash cost.

There were no additions here and the reduction in acquired amortisation year on year was largely driven by a combination of the prior year

impairment reducing the carrying value of assets alongside some of the assets now being fully written down.

#### Adjusted EBITDA and operating profit/(loss)

Adjusted EBITDA for the year totalled £76.6m (2024: £83.3m). This resilient performance was delivered against significant, well-publicised external

headwinds. The modest reduction year on year was principally driven by challenges within THG Nutrition, which faced sustained, record-high

whey commodity prices and the persistent weakness of the Japanese yen. These factors impacted margins and prompted a strategic pivot away

from the D2C model in Asia. Profitability was also temporarily constrained by a planned life cycle investment programme across THG Beauty’s

own-brand portfolio, a strategic decision taken to enhance and reposition key brands for future growth.

The Group’s statutory operating profit/(loss) for the year showed a substantial improvement, swinging to a profit of £8.1m from a loss of £147.9m

in 2024. This improvement of over £150m is directly attributable to a significant reduction in adjusting items, which fell to £30.2m from £124.5m

in the prior year, combined with the profit generated on disposal of Claremont Ingredients totalling £60.5m (2024: £nil). The 2024 result was

materially impacted by significant, non-recurring costs relating to the Group’s strategic overhaul, which included losses on the disposal of

discontinued categories, associated asset impairments and costs to complete the global Myprotein rebrand. The successful conclusion of

these initiatives meant these costs did not recur to the same extent in 2025, revealing a much-improved underlying performance for the

continuingGroup.

#### Finance costs net of finance income

Finance costs for the year have benefited from the Group’s substantial deleveraging following the successful debt refinancing completed in the

first quarter of 2025.

This benefit, however, was partially offset by three main factors. Firstly, the Group faced a higher average cost of debt, a reflection of the higher

interest rate environment relative to the original Term Loan B which was incepted in 2019. Secondly, the total finance cost includes approximately

£3m of notional, non-cash interest related to the convertible loan issued as part of the refinancing and converted to equity in December

2025. Thirdly, the refinancing also resulted in non-cash accounting charges of approximately £11m, driven by the treatment of historic prepaid

arrangement fees and the application of the revised effective interest rate on the new debt structure.

Despite the impact of these non-cash items on the income statement, the statement of cash flows indicates that net cash interest costs were

broadly comparable year on year, highlighting the underlying operational benefits of the reduced external borrowings in an economic environment

of increased interest costs.

#### Chief Financial Officer’s Review continued

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

#### Loss before tax from continuing operations and tax rate

Loss before tax from continuing operations was £69.4m (2024: £202.4m). The effective tax rate is -8.2% (2024: -10.8%), based on a total tax credit

of £5.7m (2024: tax credit £21.9m). The effective tax rate differs from the average statutory rate of 25%. This is primarily due to an exempt gain

on the disposal of a subsidiary (21.8%), offset by the movement in deferred tax not recognised (-41.5%). The non-deductible expenses principally

comprise of the share-based payments charge and non-qualifying depreciation.

At 31 December 2025, the total net deferred tax liability is £43.8m (2024: £59.6m). The deferred tax liability in respect of intangible assets

recognised on consolidation was £105.6m (2024: £123.0m). The deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses recognised was £32.8m (2024:

£46.4m). There were £52.9m of unrecognised deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses at the balance sheet date. This non-recognition has

animpact on the income statement tax charge, and this is one of the primary reasons for the effective tax rate being below the statutory rate.

#### Discontinued operations

On 2 January 2025, the Group successfully completed the previously announced demerger of THG Ingenuity into a standalone, independent

private company. THG Ingenuity has been recognised as a discontinued operation and the 2025 results disclosed THG Ingenuity as discontinued.

Aprofit on disposal of £117.8m was crystallised in 2025 (2024: £145.6m loss). The current year gain on distribution of THG Ingenuity (see more

detail within note 12.2 of the financial statements) is calculated as the difference between the fair value and the book value of its net assets after

finalisation of completion accounts. The loss inthe prior year was primarily driven by the operating loss of THG Ingenuity.

#### Profit/(loss) for the financial year

The Group delivered a statutory profit for the financial year of £54.1m (2024: loss of £326.1m). This improvement of over £380m is principally

attributable to more than a £260m positive swing in the result from discontinued operations, which generated a profit in 2025 versus a loss in

2024. The result was further aided by a c.£95m reduction in charges classified as adjusting items within continuing operations.

#### Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share were £0.04 per share (2024: loss of £(0.24) per share). This was primarily driven by the statutory profit noted above

arising from the profit on discontinuation of THG Ingenuity and the profit on disposal of Claremont Ingredients.

#### Strategic Report

#### Chief Financial Officer’s Review continued

#### Cash flow statement continued

Free cash outflow in 2025 totals £51.8m (2024: £0.4m inflow). This is driven by a reduction in Adjusted EBITDA arising from the factors mentioned

above and an adverse working capital movement of £21.8m. This reflects the normal seasonal outflow in the first half of the year, which partially

reversed in the second half. The inflow in H2 was moderated by a conscious decision to invest in inventory for fast-moving THG Beauty lines to

support the stronger-than-expected sales momentum in the fourth quarter. Weview this as a temporary phasing impact and expect this position

to unwind through 2026.

Capital expenditure has significantly reduced as guided post-demerger. The total spend in 2025 totalled £21.1m for the year (2024: £21.1m),

reflecting the Group’s disciplined capital allocation strategy.

The Group successfully completed a major refinancing in April 2025, providing enhanced balance sheet strength with facilities now extending to

2029. Cash flows from financing activities show a reduction in borrowings of £217.3m, which was largely funded by proceeds from the £88.9m

equity raise and the £100.7m net proceeds from the disposal of Claremont Ingredients.

While cash interest paid remained consistent year on year, given the decrease in interest rates during the year, cash interest received decreased

from £9.0m in 2024 to £2.5m in 2025.

The Group closed the year in a strong liquidity position, with cash and cash equivalents of £183.1m and a fully undrawn revolving credit facility

(“RCF”) of £150m, providing total cash and available facilities of approximately £333m at year end.

Net debt before lease liabilities  (233.0) (304.3)

At 31 December 2025, the Group held £183.1m in cash and cash equivalents (2024: £308.6m). Total available liquidity stood at c.£333m, including

the fully undrawn RCF of £150m.

As part of its ongoing strategy to reduce gross debt, the Group successfully completed a major refinancing of its debt facilities in the first half,

extending key maturities to 2029 and providing long-term balance sheet stability following the demerger of THG Ingenuity. At the year end, total

borrowings stood at £430.4m, a significant reduction from £604.6m at the prior year end. The Group’s streamlined facilities now primarily comprise

a €445m Term Loan B, with the previous Term Loan A facility having been fully repaid during the year.

The decrease in net debt before leases year-on-year has been driven by the reduction in borrowings following the refinancing outlined above and

the associated equity raise.

The increase in net debt is driven by the increase in lease liabilities. The majority of the Group’s material leases left the Group as part of the

demerger, as they relate to THG Ingenuity’s operations, however, new subleases were entered into in 2025 following the demerger totalling £76.9m

reflecting THGs use of properties where the headlease is with Ingenuity. To compare on a like-for-like basis we have included net debt adjusted for

subleases. On this basis, net debt has declined year on year reflective of the reduction in borrowings.

#### Non-current assets

Property, plant and equipment totalled £55.8m (2024: £64.9m). Intangible assets totalled £836.0m (2024: £958.3m) with the reduction in

intangibles driven by a combination of the amortisation charge (see earlier), the sale of Claremont Ingredients and foreign exchange rates reducing

the value of US dollar denominated assets.

Right-of-use assets totalled £116.8m (2024: £29.3m). The increase compared to the 2024 year end relates primarily to the subleases entered into

as part of the demerger with no material new leases entered into during the financial year.

#### Going concern

The Group remains in a strong cash position following the demerger with cash and cash equivalents totalling £183.1m (2024: £308.6m).

At 31 December 2025, the RCF was undrawn, meaning the Group had £150m available in undrawn facilities, leaving THG with c.£333m in cash and

available facilities.

Net debt before lease liabilities totalled £233.0m (2024: net debt before lease liabilities £304.3m).

In making their assessment of going concern, the Directors reviewed financial projections until 30 April 2027 and concluded that the Group was a

going concern.

Stress test scenarios were modelled to take into account severe but plausible impacts of a combination of the principal risks occurring, including

reducing sales for the two key businesses to levels below historic actuals and current budgets. A reverse stress test was also separately modelled.

The results of stress testing demonstrated that the combination of mitigating actions available including existing cash resources, level of

discretionary spend and ability to utilise the RCF were sufficient for the Group to withstand such impacts.

Section 172 Statement:

#### Stakeholder Engagement

Section 172 of the Companies Act outlines

the duty of company directors to promote the

success of the company. Directors must act in

good faith to promote the company’s long-term

success for the benefit of its shareholders, while

taking into account the impact of their decisions

on a range ofstakeholders.

THG’s vision is to be the online leader in beauty

and sports nutrition, and we have identified six

key stakeholder groups who play a vital part

in achieving this objective. Active engagement

between the Board and these stakeholder

groups is underpinned by our values and

purpose. It is therefore critical to ensure

that Board decision-making is appropriately

informed by the relevant section 172 stakeholder

considerations. Such engagement will, in turn,

support the successful delivery of the Group’s

strategic priorities and promote sustainable

valuecreation.

#### Embracing social

#### commerce channels

•

In early 2025, THG Nutrition launched initiatives to enhance

the customer experience by expanding into social commerce

and marketplace channels. This strategic move was a direct

response to listening to our customers, who expressed an

interest in purchasing their favourite products through one

seamless transaction.

•

The initiative focused on key themes such as cross-selling,

brand loyalty, and simplifying the customer journey. We

leveraged our proprietary technology provider, THG Ingenuity,

to create a unified purchasing experience across our social

commerce channels, including TikTok Shop.

•

This provided a platform to comprehensively monitor evolving

customer behaviours and resulted in an increased sales, with

>90% growth in social commerce channels, with a TikTok shop

presence in the UK, US and Germany.

•

By engaging with our customers through surveys and feedback

channels, we’ve been able to deepen our relationships through

a more customer-centric approach. This has allowed us to

continuous improvement in howwe serve our global community.

•

Additionally, we’ve strengthened our customer partnerships

through personalised recommendations and exclusive offers.

By regularly engaging with our Shareholders, we ensure that they

are well informed of the Group’s strategic and financial priorities,

business performance, market environment and sustainability

commitments. The judgement and opinions of our Shareholders

influence the strategic decisions made by the Board, driven

ultimately by the aim of maximising Shareholder value.

•

The fireside chat offered investors a unique opportunity to

deepen their understanding of THG Nutrition’s strategy and the

operating model changes implemented to broaden its channel

approach in response to market changes and opportunities.

•

It also provided a platform for a Q&A session with the Group

CEO, allowing investors to raise their questions directly.

•

By hosting this event, THG provided Shareholders with a clearer

understanding of the business and its outlook. The fireside

chat has since become one of Peel Hunt’s most successful

investor videos, with significant traffic and engagement

(including subsequent views on LinkedIn).

business is conducted with complete integrity and in a manner

which ensures compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Our Board is dedicated to building supplier relationships that support

our brands while addressing societal and environmental challenges,

following the THG Group’s Supplier Manual to ensure high standards

of business conduct.

We strive to build productive, fair and lasting partnerships with

suppliers, ensuring long-term value creation for Shareholders while

•

In late 2025, we hosted our annual THG Beauty Supplier

Summit, welcoming over 100 suppliers from across the beauty

industry. Attendeesincluded established global leaders,

emerging trend-setters, andfast-growing indiebrands.

•

The event focused on key industry themes such as the growing

adoption of AI and technologies, emerging product categories,

and evolving customer shopping behaviours.

•

It provided a platform for the THG Beauty Executive team to

share how these trends are shaping our strategic direction

across product categories and marketing channels across

different sites, while reinforcing how the THG Beauty

proposition remains a strategically valuable partner for our

suppliers.

•

By engaging with our suppliers in this format, we’ve been able

to deepen our relationships through a more forward-looking

approach, tailoring strategies to better meet supplier needs

and drive continuous improvement in how we collaborate.

•

Additionally, we’ve strengthened co-dependent partnerships

through retail media agreements, enabling suppliers to benefit

from THG’s data-led approach and advanced insights to

enhance mutual growth.

“ A strong relationship with our suppliers is a

cornerstone of our global success, and the

Beauty Supplier Summit is a testament to

that collaborative spirit. Bydeepening these

relationships and leveraging our combined

strengths, wecan navigate the evolving

beauty landscape and work to actively shape

it,ensuring mutual growth and continued

innovation with our partners.”

#### Partners

#### Section 172 Statement: Stakeholder Engagement continued

Strategic partnerships have become increasingly important

to Myprotein, with curated product ranges enabling access to

categories outside of and adjacent to our corerange.

Myprotein currently partners with multiple established brands

including Müller and Jimmy’s iced coffee (license-out model), and

Marvel, Hyrox and Mars (license-in model).

During the initial consultation period and after establishing brand

partnerships, THG engages regularly with partnering brands to

ensure alignment in product branding, to assess commercial

agreements and track the performance of each range. This ensures

that partnerships are mutually beneficial and informs decisions on

extending agreements and ranges.

#### SG Safety

During 2025, Myprotein announced the launch of a long-standing

partnership agreement with SG Safety Corporation, a subsidiary

of leading Korean conglomerate CJ Group. The partnership

welcomes a range of seven Myprotein licensed high protein RTDs

and meal replacements, designed to support consumers’ healthy

lifestyles through convenient daily protein intake.

In addition, joint local brand activations have helped to spark

demand for the collaboration in country, including the ‘Fitness

Wonderland’ pop-up store event. The event saw over 2,000

visitors attend, including prominent influencers in fitness, health

and lifestyle, helping to foster a sense of unity between the

brand and its fans. The partnership has served as a key strategic

initiative for THG Nutrition, helping to raise awareness for the

brand in Korea, while also providing opportunities for further

expansion, including the opening of Myprotein Official Brand

Store on NAVER, providing customers with a certified and trusted

channel to purchase the full range of products.

“ Korea is one of the key markets in our global

growth strategy and, through our collaboration

with SG Safety, we aim to further enhance

brandaccessibility and consumer trust within

the country.”

#### Our People

By investing in our people, we have been

able to cultivate an environment that is not

only a great place to work but also a catalyst

for our growth and expansion. We believe

that a supportive and development-focused

culture equips ourteams to excel and drive

ourbusiness forward.

Through 2025 we have continued to develop

our employee networks, with thegoal of

creating an environment where employees

can connect with those who share passions,

backgrounds, interest or lived experiences.

These networks are colleague-led groups

and aim to provide a space where people can

connect and support each other to make real

impact. By joining networks, our employees

can benefit by:

•

Taking on leadership opportunities and

growing professionally alongside their day job.

•

Learning from leaders who help guide,

mentor and develop members.

•

Acting as a representative voice to support

decision-making.

•

Getting involved in things they care about

and seeing results.

Senior Management engage on a regular basis

through sponsorship of employee initiatives

and regular reviews of feedback from

other

employee development schemes. By doing

so,

we’reable to refine our employee offering,

while ensuring the desired skills are being

developed to meet the needs of the business.

The Board engages by overseeing and

sponsoring employee initiatives to ensure

thatpeople have every opportunity to succeed.

Employees are also recognised for their efforts

each year through the Company’s year-end

awards. This also provides Board members

with the opportunity to engage with staff

#### Strategic Report

#### Section 172 Statement: Stakeholder Engagement continued

#### Principal decisions

Below are examples of the key discussions

and principal decisions taken by the Board

during 2025, alongside relevant strategic

priorities and stakeholders considered.

#### Sale of Claremont

#### Ingredients

Stakeholders considered:

Strategic priorities considered:

In August 2025, the Group agreed to sell

Claremont Ingredients to the Nactarome

Group, a fast-growth international flavour

specialist, for c.£103m in cash. Proceeds

from the sale contributed towards reducing

net leverage andborrowing costs, in line with

theCompany’s capital allocation strategy.

Claremont was acquired in late 2020 for

£52m (excluding cash acquired) to enhance

new product development and accelerate

the launch of a global licensing range for

Myprotein.

The Executive Leadership Team considered

the financial and operational impact of the

disposal given Claremont’s importance to

Myprotein’s flavour development, and as

a result a long-term supply contract was

established to ensure continuity and preserve

the working relationship post-sale.

The decision to sell aligned with the Group’s

broader strategy to streamline operations,

simplify the Company, and concentrate on

its core strengths and competencies. The

disposal delivered value for Shareholders by

strengthening the Company’s balance sheet.

Overall, the acquisition and subsequent

disposal was considered a major success,

playing a pivotal role in developing Myprotein’s

global franchise, and delivering asignificant

return on the initial investment.

#### THG Ingenuity

#### relationship framework

Stakeholders considered:

In December 2024, Shareholder support

was received for the demerger of THG

Ingenuity. Significant planning across many

Group functions had been undertaken in

order that the new operating model could

be implemented effectively from the outset

ofthefinancial year.

The demerger was a highly complex

transaction with multiple critical workstreams.

The resulting relationship and service

agreement was required to be robust and

commercially attractive to both parties.

The risk and control environment was reviewed

as a priority to ensure independence between

the two businesses, while minimising the

impact on broader stakeholders, mainly

customers and suppliers.

The Board also considered the market

communications on the implications of the

demerger and the strategic priorities for the

remaining Group.

#### Debt refinancing

#### and equity placing

Stakeholders considered:

Strategic priorities considered:

In March 2025, the Company initiated a

significant refinancing to establish a long-term

capital structure. This strategic move followed

the demerger of THG Ingenuity and was

designed to position the Company for its next

phase of development in its growing consumer

markets.

The key components of the refinancing

included:

•

Extending debt maturity for the Term Loan

B to December 2029, and the maturity of

the revolving credit facility to May 2029.

•

An equity contribution of £90m.

•

A combination of balance sheet cash and

the equity contribution was used to repay

a portion of the existing Term Loan A and

aportion of the Term Loan B.

The refinancing reduced the Group’s total

leverage, strengthened its balance sheet, while

offering greater financial flexibility, supporting

progress towards its target net cash position.

The Group’s founder and major Shareholder,

Matthew Moulding, played a pivotal role

by committing £60m of the equity raise.

This formed another significant funding

commitment, having already invested £50m

in THG shares since IPO. The equity raise

included a placing of new shares, of which the

offering was oversubscribed, indicating strong

support from existing and new investors.

When considering the refinancing, the Board

acknowledged the Group’s financial priorities

and strategic growth objectives, together with

its stated intention to create a more simplified

debt and equity investment case for THG as a

cash-generative global retailer and brand owner.

The successful completion of the refinancing

demonstrated the banks’ and credit lenders’

continued support for the Company.

#### Myprotein strategic

#### partnerships

Stakeholders considered:

Strategic priorities considered:

During the year, Myprotein entered into and

expanded a number of strategic partnerships

with category-leading brands and specialist

retailers. The primary driver for these

agreements was to expand the brand’s

presence across categories and channels.

By entering physical retail spaces, the brand

can tap into the offline retail and convenience

market, which is considerably larger than the

online nutrition market. This strategy is a core

component of a broader brand repositioning

to appeal to a wider demographic beyond

performance nutrition to include ‘everyday

active consumers’.

While considering the broader objective of

raising brand profile and awareness, the

Board also took into account the reputational

and financial impact of the partnerships,

in particular those comprising third-party

manufacturers and suppliers.

Additional factors determining the selected

partners included revenue diversification and

market category growth, for example the

faster-growing segments within the dairy

anddesserts market.

These partnerships increase customer

touchpoints, broaden brand appeal and

credibility, ultimately supporting global

revenueand market share growth.

Link to strategic priorities key:

Build leadership positions in core

territories and categories

Deliver innovative and relevant

products to global consumers

Develop Active Customer base

#### Strategic Report

# Our

# culture

Our culture has always been a source of competitive

advantage at THG. It shapes how we make decisions,

how we innovate for customers, and how we scale with

pace and discipline. In a business defined by continual

evolution, our ability to adapt, learn fast, and keep

movingforward remains a constant. This is reflected in

THG’s DNA – eight behaviours that define how we work

and win together.

#### Building an employee experience that drives high performance

We design our employee experience to empower people to perform at their best. Clear goals,

real-time feedback, and development opportunities that support colleagues to step up, take

ownership, and grow – reflecting our belief in talent over tenure and our commitment to

developing people with drive, curiosity and ambition.

From structured onboarding to wellbeing initiatives, we combine high expectations with high

support, ensuring colleagues can move fast, solve problems and deliver exceptional results.

Thisbalance enables teams to thrive in a culture where pace fuels progress and impact is

earned through action, not hierarchy.

#### Listening to our people

In 2025, we strengthened our listening strategy by introducing always-on feedback channels

and hosting listening groups across multiple sites. Insights from colleagues drove meaningful

action – from AI adoption training to enhanced onboarding. By asking questions, listening, and

acting on what we hear, we continue building trust and transparency across theorganisation.

#### 100% You

When colleagues feel respected and able to bring their full selves to work, collaboration and

innovation strengthen. Our internal campaign, 100% You, invited colleagues worldwide to share

what matters most to them at work – leading to the relaunch of six employee-chosen networks,

each supported by Senior Sponsors and Executive Advocates.

This work reinforces our commitment to creating an environment grounded in respect, support

and shared accountability. It reflects how we support one another, uphold high standards in how

we work together, and create opportunities for every colleague to progress.

#### Learning, growth and the future of work

The future of work is shaped by technology, agility and human-centred leadership – and we’re

preparing our people to lead it. In 2025, we delivered 6,408 hours of in-house training, hosted

more than 558 L&D sessions for over 3,900 delegates, and achieved a +78% Net Promoter Score.

Whether learning new skills, navigating emerging technologies or taking ownership of their

development, colleagues are encouraged to step forward and figure things out along the way.

Partnerships like the THG AI Academy with Multiverse and expanded in-house programmes

ensure our teams develop the capabilities required for the future.

We’re proud to have built a culture over two decades that blends innovation, pace and

opportunity – enabling people to push boundaries and make a lasting impact.

#### Embedding the THG DNA

Towards the end of 2025, we created the THG

DNA – eight behaviours that capture how we

deliver, collaborate and grow together. These

behaviours aren’t new; they’ve always been

what makes THG different.

In 2026 and beyond, THG DNA will guide

how we operate at every level – woven

into onboarding, leadership development,

recognition frameworks, performance

conversations, and everyday decision-making.

It reinforces a culture where:

#### We move fast and figure it out

#### along the way.

We don’t have time to wait for perfection.

Wetest, learn, and adapt quickly.

We work hard. Really hard.

The office is where we show up, step up, and

deliver – together. It’s where standards are

set, pace fuels progress, and the drive to win

brings out the best in all of us.

#### No egos.

We’ve got high standards – for the work we do

and for each other. Leave your ego at the door.

Work together, respect each other, and deliver.

That’s how we win.

#### We care about your talent, not your

#### experience.

Your experience doesn’t define you here – your

drive does. Show us what you can do, and the

rest will follow.

#### No passengers.

See a problem? Fix it. Make a mistake? Own it.

Got an idea? Run with it. Want to grow? Step

up. Progress here isn’t given – it’s earned.

#### We stay curious.

We’re always learning. We ask questions,

we listen, we share opinions. We never get

complacent.

#### We embrace the chaos.

We move fast, sometimes sideways,

occasionally backwards. But we’re always

moving. Change isn’t scary, it’s fuel.

#### We back each other.

Loud and proud. When one of us wins, we

allwin. We celebrate hard and we support

even harder.

These behaviours form the foundation of how

we build, scale, and succeed – today and in

the future.

# Sustainability

#### THG x Planet Earth is our strategy for a better,

#### sustainable future together.

Guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”), our plan focuses on three key pillars: Protecting climate and nature,

Strengthening our supply chain and circularity, and Empowering people and communities. We have set ambitious goals and targets under

the key priorities that we aim to achieve by 2030. We are pledging to use our global scale, our world-class talent and our dedication to

innovation, to act as a force for good.

In 2025, we continued to focus our sustainability efforts on delivery of the Sustainability Strategy, recognising that changes were required

following the demerger of Ingenuity at the start of the year. We focused our attention on reassessing our sustainability data and developed

aclear roadmap for updating our Strategy in 2026, following the completion of the Double Materiality Assessment.

#### Double Materiality Assessment

Throughout 2025, THG maintained a

forward-looking approach to sustainability

reporting, closely monitoring developments

to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting

Directive (“CSRD”) and proposed Omnibus

amendments. Following the latest legislative

updates in November 2025, revised thresholds

indicate that THG is expected to fall within

the scope of CSRD reporting for FY 2028,

with disclosures due in the 2029 reporting

year. THG has proactively aligned with the

principles of the directive ahead of formal

requirements, recognising the importance of

its objectives; transparency, accountability, and

the integration of sustainability into business

strategy. During 2025, the Group completed a

CSRD-aligned Double Materiality Assessment

(“DMA”), in accordance with the European

Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”),

to identify and prioritise the sustainability

topics most relevant to both our stakeholders

and long-term success. This proactive stance

ensures THG remains ahead of compliance

obligations, with the systems, data processes

and governance structures needed to

meet evolving regulatory and stakeholder

expectations.

#### The ESRS framework covers

#### thefollowing areas

Environment

E1 Climate Change

E2 Pollution

E3 Water and Marine Resources

E4 Biodiversity and Ecosystems

E5 Resource Use and Circular Economy

Social

S1 Own Workforce

S2 Workers in the Value Chain

S3 Affected Communities

S4 Consumers and End Users

Governance

G1 Business Conduct

Working in collaboration with an external

consultancy, THG identified 144 relevant

Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (“IROs”)

across our value chain.

These consisted of 59 Impacts, 42 Risks

and 43 Opportunities across the ESRS. Each

was evaluated alongside members of THG’s

ESG Working Group and relevant internal

stakeholders using structured methodologies

to assess both impact and financial materiality.

Assessing impact and

#### financialmateriality

The impact materiality assessment

considered four key factors: scale, scope,

remedy and likelihood. Using a keyword-based

scoring framework, each IRO was given a

score on a scale of one to five for each factor.

This provided a consistent, evidence-based

assessment of potential impacts, which

was then refined using internal business

knowledge. The approach ensured that the

most significant environmental and social

impacts were highlighted, allowing them to

be prioritised for future management and

disclosure.

Financial materiality was assessed using

a complementary qualitative scale that

evaluated both the potential impact on

cost (for example, operational efficiencies,

cash flow, fines or mitigation expenditure)

and impact on revenue (for example, brand

reputation, sales performance or growth

opportunities). These two dimensions were

combined to calculate an overall financial

materiality score, providing a balanced view

of where sustainability matters may influence

THG’s financial performance. Together, these

assessments provide a clear understanding

of how sustainability topics affect, and are

affected by, our business model, strategy and

value creation over time.

#### Embedding findings

#### andnextsteps

The outcomes of the DMA will guide THG’s

sustainability priorities and shape our wider

business strategy. By identifying the topics

most material to both our stakeholders

and our financial performance, we aim to

strengthen the integration of sustainability

within our decision-making, governance

andrisk management frameworks.

As CSRD and associated legislation continue

to develop, THG remains focused on:

•

Aligning our strategy and operations with

emerging reporting standards.

•

Embedding robust data systems and

governance to support future disclosures.

•

Using the DMA to strengthen transparency,

resilience, and long-term value creation.

THG’s early alignment with the CSRD

principles demonstrates our commitment to

responsible business practices. By embedding

sustainability within our core operations,

wewill ensure that environmental and social

considerations remain central to how we grow,

operate and create value for all stakeholders.

by 2030.

We are working with our suppliers to meet the requirements of the

EUDR legislation which will support delivery of this target.

#### THG emissions and energy reporting

During 2025, THG PLC completed an emissions ‘rebaselining’ exercise to ensure our

GHG inventory reflects our updated organisational structure following the demerger

of THG Ingenuity. This process included revising our historic 2022–2024 emissions

to align with current business boundaries. This integrated updated emissions factors

and improved calculation methodologies, to enhance consistency and accuracy

across all reporting years.

The following table presents our revised energy consumption and GHG emissions

alongside our 2025 footprint, fulfilling our obligations under the Companies Act

2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ Report) Regulations 2013 and the Streamlined

Energy and Carbon Reporting Regulations (2019).

#### External assurance

Forliance were appointed to undertake limited assurance of selected GHG and energy data

points contained in this disclosure using the assurance standard ISAE 3000. Based on their

review the 2025 Selected Information is properly prepared in accordance with the Reporting

Criteria. They state that Scope 3.1 (Purchased Goods and Services) results are not comparable to

previous rebaseline figures, due to the 2024 Ingenuity demerger and 2025 data quality changes;

specifically, while product-level emission factor matching has improved, a higher proportion of

products are now calculated using spend-based data. Their unqualified opinion on the data and

their full assessment can be found in the Basis of Reporting document which is on our website.

Basis of Reporting document

We report in accordance with the GHG Protocol, and in 2024 we strengthened our Scope 3 calculation processes sufficiently to report Scope 1, 2

and 3 emissions for the same financial year for the first time. This year we have been able to do the same, applying our updated methodologies

and boundaries to 2025 data. In addition, GHG analysis has been completed in-house for the first time, using AI-based technology to map

products with associated emissions factors alongside a robust testing and assurance process. This ensures that the 2025 report presents a

standardised and accurate emissions dataset to support long-term target setting and performance tracking.

#### Science-based targets – progress report

THG’s science-based targets were validated by the SBTi in 2023. These targets were set using 2020 as the baseline year.

#### Near-term

THG commits to reduce absolute scope 1

and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from

a 2020 base year.

#### Near-term

THG commits that 85% of its suppliers

by spend covering purchased goods and

services and upstream transportation

and distribution will have science-based

targets by 2027.

#### Long-term/net zero targets

THG commits to reduce absolute scope 1

and 2 GHG emissions 97.7% by 2040 from

a 2020 base year. THG also commits to

reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions

90% within the same timeframe.

As stated, we have revised our historic emissions data to reflect the changes to the business since 2022. As a result, we will revise the

current targets in 2026 and resubmit an updated net zero plan to SBTi for validation. This report is based on existing targets, using the

revised GHG emissions data to monitor progress.

#### THG commits to reduce absolute

#### Scope 1 and 2 emissions 42% by

#### 2030 – progress

In 2025 our energy consumption has

decreased by 1,804,141.9 kWh, comprising of

a 3% increase in scope 1 related activity and

a 13% decrease in scope 2, when compared

with our revised 2024 consumption. Scope 1

emissions increased by 5%. This was partly

due to higher energy consumption and also

because country-specific emission factors

were used to more accurately calculate our

energy footprint in each region. Scope 2

location-based emissions reduced by 41% and

market-based emissions reduced to 0 tCO₂e.

This is due to reduced consumption across the

estate, country-specific emission factors and

the renewable electricity purchase strategy.

#### Renewable electricity

The majority of our energy comes from

purchased electricity from the grid and we

have a target to power all our geographical

operations with 100% renewable electricity

by 2030. We have made significant progress,

against our revised footprint, with renewable

electricity procurement rising from 44% in

2023, to 99% in 2024. During 2025 we took

significant steps forward in our renewable

electricity purchasing strategy, with 100%

of sites either using renewable electricity

or covered by a form of Renewable Energy

Certificate (“REC”) or Guarantee of Origin

(“GoO”). This meant we achieved the target

five years ahead of schedule by devising

actionable plans and managing the energy

procurement strategy.

#### 2027 – progress

THG’s Partnership in Action initiative (“PACT”)

was launched at the end of 2023 and has

been instrumental in driving forward the

progress against this target. The programme

aims to drive collaboration, through the

sharing of emissions data and setting clear

expectations for suppliers to develop net zero

goals. During 2025 we have engaged with

suppliers from across our THG Nutrition and

THG Beauty supplier base and have seen

a significant increase in suppliers making

externally validated commitments. Suppliers

covering 50.88% of the spend of those in

scope, have science-based targets that are

either aligned to a robust framework or are

approved by the SBTi (near-term and net zero

both counted).

#### THG PLC also commits to reduce

#### absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions

#### 90% by 2040 – progress

Our Scope 3 GHG emissions have marginally

decreased year on year when compared

with our revised 2024 footprint. The reason

for this varies between categories. Updated

methodology, emission factors and improved

data quality will account for the majority of the

changes, this is further explored in the Basis of

reporting document. The table below highlights

our scope 3 footprint and the proportions of

each category.

The emissions composition of direct purchases

within category 1 can be seen in the chart

below. These emissions are not comparable

year on year due to an improvement in

product-level emission factor matching and

avariance in emission factors used.

Category 3 saw a decrease in emissions

aligned with the reduction in electricity

consumption across the THG estate.

Categories 2, 4, 11 and 12 also saw a year

on year decrease in emissions, related to

improved data quality, while the reduction

for categories 6 and 7 is linked to reduced

employee numbers.

Category 9 (Downstream transport and

distribution) saw an increase of over half due

to increased retail sales, paired with improved

data availability from our manufacturing sites.

Brand partnerships was an area of growth in

2025, being the first full calendar year with

products on the market from five partnerships.

This is therefore reflected in the emissions for

category 14 (Franchises) which was the next

largest increase in emissions year on year.

Category 5 also saw a marginal increase.

Thanks to improved methodology and

in-house calculations progress has been

madeacross multiple categories. We

recognise the continued reduction of category

1 remains pertinent in the reduction of our total

footprint and so in 2026 we will continue our

commitment to standardising methodologies

and improving supplier engagement to drive

collective efforts to reduce emissions across

our value-chain.

Responsible sourcing and

#### deforestation

Every year, millions of hectares of forest are

lost as land is cleared to produce global

commodities like beef, soy, and palm oil.

This rapid deforestation serves as a primary

driver of climate change, increased loss of

biodiversity, and disruption of ecosystems

worldwide. THGremains committed

to sourcing commodities responsibly,

demonstrated through our memberships

with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil

(“RSPO”) and Rainforest Alliance.

In 2025, we further strengthened our

procurement processes, to embed

compliancewith EUDR, ahead of

implementation and aim for all palm oil

purchased to be RPSO certified.

#### Governance

The Board-level Sustainability Committee

provides oversight on the progress made

against THG’s net zero targets. In addition,

a number of working groups are in place

to manage the relevant workstreams and

projects required to drive progress. Further

details on these can be found within the Task

Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures

#### Sustainability continued

### Strengthening our

supply chain and

### circularity

We approach our responsibilities with utmost

dedication, recognising the impact of everything

we create and the livelihoods of those touched

by our business. It is our obligation to uphold

a supply chain that is not only responsible and

ethical but also one that does not harm other

individuals or the environment.

Our targets Our progress

All suppliers to commit to THG’s Supply Chain Standards by 2025.  This was achieved in 2023 when we made our Supply Chain

Standards a part of our contracts.

100% of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to complete Sedex audit by

2025.

Focus on Tier 1 compliance continued in 2025 – please see further

details on the opposite page.

THG will disclose 100% of whistleblowing reports YoY on the

number of cases raised and closed within our agreed service level

agreement (“SLA”).

Eight whistleblowing cases were raised in 2025. Eight cases have

been closed within the agreed SLA.

100% of own brand packaging to be recyclable and/or reusable

by2025.

This is being reassessed following the introduction of the

Recyclability Assessment Methodology (“RAM”).

100% of THG operations and Tier 1 suppliers to achieve zero waste

across operations by 2030.

Building and strengthening Group-wide data collection processes

within key operational sites.

#### Supply Chain Standards

Our Supply Chain Standards set out the minimum

standards we require all suppliers to uphold and details the

requirements around Labour Standards, Health and Safety,

Environmental Impact and Business Ethics.

The Standards are reviewed on an annual basis

and in 2025 were updated to reflect the enhanced

Whistleblowing Policy which was published in the second

half of the year (see opposite).

In addition, we added clarity around the requirement for

suppliers to evidence their compliance to the Standards

through the completion of Sedex Member Ethical Trade

Audits (“SMETA”) and provide this evidence through the

Sedex platform. The updated Standards can be found on

our website.

Sedex in the supply chain and

#### ownoperations

In 2025 we continued to track our suppliers’

compliance with THG’s Supply Chain

Standards through the completion of SMETA,

the results of which are published via the

Sedex platform. The platform provides

independently validated evidence of

compliance within our suppliers’ operations

and enables us to identify non-compliances

within our supply chain.

The scope of suppliers included in our

programme has been expanded over the past

year, and therefore we are unable to provide

an accurate progress update against our

target. We do, however, remain focused on Tier

1 manufacturing suppliers across our Beauty

and Nutrition businesses and will continue to

track suppliers’ compliance with the Supply

Chain Standards while monitoring audit

completion rates.

Compliance with THG’s Supply Chain

Standards is a requirement of doing

business with us and we remain committed

to monitoring compliance against them

and managing risk within our supply chain.

This requirement forms part of our supplier

management and procurement approach.

Therefore, moving forward it will be removed

as a target within our Sustainability Strategy

and remain a part of our business as usual

approach to supplier risk management.

During 2024 and 2025 we have completed

audits across all operational sites, which are

again uploaded to Sedex to share with our

customers. This approach ensures an open and

transparent relationship with our customers

and demonstrates our commitments to

upholding internationally recognised human

rights in line with The Universal Declaration

of Human Rights; the International Labour

Organization’s (“ILO”) Core Conventions; and

the UN’s Guiding Principles on Business and

Human Rights.

#### Whistleblowing and anti-bribery

THG is committed to integrity, protecting

assets and people, and fostering an open

culture. We strive to operate ethically

and responsibly, promoting transparent

communication with colleagues and suppliers

and we recognise that having an effective,

confidential process for employees to raise

any concerns is a vital part of creating that

culture.

THG’s whistleblowing service is a free and

independent service that enables employees

and suppliers to raise concerns confidentially.

The service is available to all THG employees,

agency workers, contractors and suppliers. In

2025, this established process was expanded

to include our supply chain too, and an

updated policy was published detailing the

options available for raising concerns via email,

online or by telephone.

These arrangements are also reflected in

our Supply Chain Standards, which require

suppliers to have their own whistleblowing

processes in place, in addition to access to

THG’s reporting mechanisms.

To safeguard the integrity of the Group, we

maintain a comprehensive Anti-Bribery Policy

that reinforces our commitment to conducting

business ethically and responsibly. The

policy applies to all employees, contractors,

and third-party intermediaries or agents,

ensuring they understand and uphold our

zero-tolerance approach to bribery and

corruption. It clearly sets out the Company’s

expectations and standards for ethical

conduct, including the prevention of bribery

inall business activities.

View online

Whistleblowing Policy

#### Responsible marketing

We recognise the importance of responsible

marketing and take our commitment seriously

and the Responsible Marketing Code was

launched at the end of 2024.

The Code provides guidance to employees,

brands, customers and partners on responsible

marketing practices, including the ethical

and transparent use of Artificial Intelligence

in marketing activities. It ensures compliance

with relevant local, national and international

laws and regulations, and aligns with recognised

industry standards such as the International

Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) Advertising and

Marketing Communications Code.

While the core principles, standards and

commitments remain in place for THG, following

the demerger of THG Ingenuity, we will update

our Responsible Marketing Code in 2026 to

reflect the new Group structure.

The updated Code will apply globally across

THG Beauty and THG Nutrition, extending to

external media partners, contractors, agencies

and influencers.

#### Own brand packaging

THG is committed to increasing the

recyclability of our packaging and we have

assessed our own brand products against the

UK Government’s RAM. The final analysis will

be included in the 2025 Extended Producer

Responsibility packaging submission in April

2026. Following this, we will continue to

identify practical solutions to increase the

recyclability of all our packaging types.

#### Zero waste

In 2025, THG has continued its commitment to

effective and responsible waste management.

Our alignment with the US Green Building

Council’s TRUE standard for zero waste in

2024 set a high benchmark and we reported

waste data on a broader operational perimeter.

This year has been one of focusing and

strengthening Group-wide data collection

processes and embedding the waste reduction

programmes across key operationalsites.

#### Key achievements in 2025

#### Entire workforce

We continued to exceed our goal of achieving

50% female representation across the

business, with women now representing

56.9% of our workforce, up from 50% in

2024 (with 1.5% choosing not to disclose

their gender). Representation of colleagues

from ethnic minority backgrounds stands at

18.4%, a slight increase from 17% in 2024, with

46.1% choosing not to disclose their ethnicity

compared to 46.98% in the prior year. While

the modest improvement in ethnic minority

representation and ethnicity disclosure

is encouraging, it highlights an ongoing

opportunity to strengthen our approach

to voluntary disclosure and to introduce

additional diverse hiring initiatives in 2026.

#### Board and Senior Management

In 2025, ethnic minority representation

increased across the Board and Senior

Management Team, with the Board at

11.1% and Senior Management at 28.6%,

reflecting changes in Board composition

and adjustments to the Senior Management

population during the year.

Female representation at Senior Management

level remains below our ambition, largely

due to changes to the Senior Management

population following the demerger. However,

the layer immediately below the Executive

team is predominantly female, indicating a

strong succession pipeline that is expected

tosupport future improvements.

#### Gender and ethnicity pay gap

We report via the UK Government gender pay

gap service every year. In our 2025 report, the

mean average pay gap was 9.11% in favour of

males and the median pay gap was 2.29%

in favour of females. These figures reflect

different aspects of our pay distribution — the

mean is influenced by a small number of men

in very senior, high-earning roles, while the

median reflects our broader workforce, where

women are the majority at every pay level and

comprise 56.9% of employees overall.

On bonuses, 13.10% of females received a

bonus compared to 10.42% of males. The

mean bonus gap was 11.2% in favour of males

and the median bonus gap was 55% in favour

of females.

#### Real Living Wage

During 2025, we saw an increase in

colleagues receiving a Real Living Wage,

from 69.3% in 2024 to 73.5% in 2025. This

metric currently covers UK-based staff directly

employed by THG. In 2026 we are exploring

options to close this gap.

#### Employee engagement

After achieving our goal to increase employee

engagement by 15% in 2023, we continued

to monitor and track employee engagement

through divisional pulse surveys in 2025. To

ensure consistency in approach and effective

action planning, we are launching Group-level,

global pulse surveys in 2026.

#### Making an impact in our local

#### communities

Responsibility extends beyond our business.

In 2025, we supported local communities

through 474 days of volunteering and a series

of fundraising initiatives, including a charity

padel tournament for Wood Street Mission, a

clothing drive for Smart Works, a Christmas

gift collection for Manchester Youth Zone, and

health and wellness challenges in support of

Movember.

As part of our social impact strategy, we

also launched THG Loves Local – a new

initiative designed to spotlight and support

small businesses. Since March 2025, Loves

Local has showcased products and services

across Manchester, giving colleagues

the chance to shop at on-site pop-ups,

access exclusive discounts, and discover

what’s on their doorstep. The programme

has driven colleagueengagement through

in-person events and generated £37,158 for

42 businesses. Community impact is a core

partof our culture, and we’ll continue to grow

these efforts in 2026 and beyond.

THG is committed to providing clear information on how climate-related risks and opportunities may affect the Group’s strategy, operations and

financial performance. Our disclosure aligns with the four pillars and 11 recommended disclosures of the TCFD and meets the requirements of

UKLA9.8.6R and 14.3.27R, as wellas the Companies Act.

Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity at the start of this year, we have reassessed and redefined our reporting boundary to reflect THG’s

revised structure. These changes are explained throughout the disclosure where relevant. Climate change creates physical risks to our operations

and supply chain from acute and chronic weather events, as well as transition risks driven by regulatory, technological, economic and market

shifts. For the reshaped Group, the material risks continue to relate to operational disruption, raw material availability, carbon-related cost

exposure and reputation. The demerger has required us to revisit these risks and re-evaluate associated opportunities. Our Metrics and Targets

have been reviewed in linewith the new organisational structure. Wehave refined our emissions inventory, restated baselines where required and

continued to develop performance indicators that support consistent, year-on-year assessment of progress. This second-year disclosure reflects

the continued evolution of THG’s climate-related reporting. It demonstrates our commitment to transparent governance, robust risk assessment

andthe proactive management of climate-related risks and opportunities as we position the Group for long-term, sustainable value creation.

Governance

#### The Board

The Board is responsible for overseeing the execution of THG’s Sustainability Strategy, which

covers climate-related issues and includes the progress towards our climate change goals and

targets. The Board also approved our Net Zero Strategy in 2023 as well as the disclosures made

in the Annual Report.

#### Sustainability Committee

The Sustainability Committee, which was chaired throughout 2025 by our SID Sue Farr, meets at

least three times a year. The Sustainability Committee was established to ensure that the Group

has appropriate and effective strategies, policies and operational controls in place to conduct its

business in a responsible manner, ensuring accountability for sustainability targets. Key duties

include reviewing and monitoring the Group’s systems, strategies, policies and targets in relation

to, amongst other things, energy and carbon management, and climate change. The Chair will

communicate relevant ESG matters up to the Board through shared minutes and summarised

updates. The Group Sustainability Team (“GST”) also provides updates to this Committee towards

the targets set in THG’s Sustainability Strategy. You can find further details on the Committee

within the Sustainability Committee Report on pages 93 and 94.

#### Audit Committee

The Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness of the control environment through the review of

internal audit reports and other assurance activity.

Strategy

#### Group Sustainability Team

The GST, which feeds up to the Sustainability Committee, manages the assessment and tracking

of climate-related risks to THG. The GST has set up working groups comprising of management

from the necessary functions, described below, to provide resource and governance over delivery

of this TCFD disclosure. The GST also manages key metrics and mitigation measures, such as the

reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and ensuring compliance with ESG regulations.

#### Scope 1 and 2 Working Group

This working group brings together management representatives from the sustainability, property,

projects, procurement and travel teams. The aim of this working group is to ensure we are taking

steps to achieve our science-based targets, which in turn protects our reputation and reduces our

exposure to financial risk such as carbon taxation.

#### ESG Working Group

To enable THG to undertake TCFD and ESG-related work, we created a working group that

consists of representatives from sustainability, finance, risk and internal audit. The role of this

group is to manage ESG horizon scanning and devise appropriate plans to ensure THG complies

with upcoming legislation.

#### Sustainability Forum

The Sustainability Forum met throughout 2025, bringing together managers and directors from

relevant business areas to review climate change and sustainability-related topics and projects.

The Forum provides a platform for the sustainability team to ask Management from across the

business to aid in overcoming barriers. It also enables Management to raise any climate change

and sustainability-related issues that may come to light.

#### The Risk Team

The Risk Team holds regular risk update meetings with key business areas to ensure the risk

register continues to reflect current risk exposure (you can find more details on risk and the risk

register on pages 60 to 67). Within the meetings, any material risks identified by the GST are

escalated to the Risk Team. The risk register is reviewed and confirmed to be up to date. Similar

risk updates are held with other key business areas and are reviewed and escalated to the Risk

Committee as appropriate.

#### Governance

#### The Board

THG maintained the climate governance structure established in the previous year to ensure consistent oversight and a stable foundation for

assessing and reporting climate-related risks and opportunities.

As the organisation evolved, including changes arising from the recent demerger, preserving this framework supported clear accountability and

comparability across reporting periods. While the structure itself remained stable, the frequency of meetings and the mix of participants flexed to

reflect operational needs, reporting cycles, and the progression ofclimate-risk work.

This balanced approach enables THG to maintain continuity while adapting governance processes to meet the needs of a developing business and

an evolving climate context.

#### Strategic Report

#### TCFD continued

Climate change, environmental and social responsibility are managed as one of our principal risks and are a core consideration in business

strategy and decision-making. Within this principal risk THG identified three key areas of materiality: physical risk to raw materials, physical risk

to operations, and transitional risk. During 2023, THG (pre-demerger) completed climate-risk modelling across the Group for the short term (up to

2030), medium term (2040), long term (2050) and very long term (2100 – only used for physical risk to operations).

This modelling allowed us to assess each climate risk and scope out the required analysis for the first time. Since then, there have been significant

changes to THG’s organisational structure, leading to the re-evaluation of the modelling and its outputs. Therefore, in 2025, THG undertook

an internal review to analyse how these previously modelled risks and opportunities now apply to the reshaped business. Drawing on internal

expertise, the review considered revised reporting boundaries, operational priorities andshifts in our physical and strategic footprint to ensure that

the risks andopportunities disclosed this year accurately reflect the current business.

#### Physical risk

We have undertaken a review of the physical climate risks identified in our 2024 TCFD report, by reviewing the original modelling, assessing

changes to the business and analysing the impacts of them on the climate modelling results. The table below summarises each risk, possible

mitigation measures, associated targets and any progress we’ve made against them.

2025 and entered ten new properties which

sit within the same regions as the modelled

portfolio. For this reason there has been no

material changes in expected impact since the

modelling was carried out in 2023.

#### Physical risk – raw materials

In 2023, THG completed a detailed internal study to understand how climate change could affect the availability of key raw materials used within

THG Nutrition. We focused on THG Nutrition due to THG Beauty revenue split being weighted towards third-party sales, making commodity

purchasing requirements materially lower when compared with Nutrition. As part of our strategic response to climate risk, we assessed

how physical climate impacts might influence our sourcing regions over the short, medium and long term, in line with TCFD expectations.

The assessment considered both the direct implications of more extreme and variable weather patterns on yields and the wider strategic

consequences of global supply pressures and potential cost volatility.

As part of our 2025 climate risk review, we reassessed the key commodities identified in the 2023 modelling and confirmed that the same

commodities remain material to THG Nutrition. We also reviewed our current sourcing regions and found them to be consistent with those used

in the original assessment. The recent demerger did not affect this analysis, as the Ingenuity business was not material to raw-material-related

climate risk and did not influence the sourcing footprint evaluated in 2023. On this basis, we considered the 2023 modelling to remain reflective

of the reshaped Group and a reliable representation of our short, medium and long-term exposure to climate-related impacts on raw material

availability.

A bespoke modelling approach was developed to quantify these risks. Six priority commodities were selected: cocoa, soybean, pea, broad bean,

oats and whey. For the five crops, academic evidence on optimal growing conditions for temperature and precipitation was used to construct

yield curves that allowed future climate projections to be compared against ideal conditions. For whey, a tailored model was developed based on

wet-bulb temperature, capturing how heat and humidity influence dairy livestock productivity. These models were applied to the Group’s existing

sourcing regions.

#### Strategy

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

Climate projections were assessed using IPCC Representative Concentration Pathways (see figure), with multiple time horizons aligned to

TCFD guidance. For each ingredient, changes in climatic conditions were modelled across short-term (5–10 years), medium-term (10–20 years)

and long-term (20–30 years) intervals through to 2050. Due to data limitations, whey was modelled using only the RCP 4.5 pathway (the

‘most probable’ scenario). RCP 4.5 to 2050 was selected as the central scenario since it was the only pathway covering all six ingredients and

represented the most robust basis for comparison. In 2026 we will reassess the data available for whey and its suitability to modelling across

thewider pathways, with the view to improving comparability across the six key ingredients and commodities.

The results showed that THG’s raw material sourcing strategy appeared comparatively well insulated from climate-related yield impacts under

the most probable scenario. Projected changes in yield across THG’s sourcing regions generally indicated lower exposure to climate deterioration

than the global average, suggesting that our current procurement footprint was more resilient than other major growing regions worldwide. Even

when assessed against more adverse climate outcomes (RCP 8.5), the modelling suggested that THG’s sourcing regions were likely to experience

manageable impacts, with no commodities showing high levels of supply risk solely due to climate-driven yield reduction (table below).

While the modelling indicated a low likelihood that climate change

would materially disrupt the availability of these key ingredients

across the assessed time horizons, the analysis recognised that yield

projections represent only one dimension of supply resilience. Although

the modelling assessed the direct impacts of changes in temperature

and precipitation, it did not capture the wider effects associated with

an increased frequency of extreme weather events. Inaddition, broader

factors such as geopolitical disruption, macroeconomic conditions,

infrastructure capacity, and global supply chain constraints could still

influence the availability and price stability of raw materials. We saw an

example of this in 2025 where, despite remaining well insulated from

climate-related yield impacts, the business saw an increase in whey

prices. This was owing to an increase in the global demand. Accordingly,

climate-related raw material risks continue to be monitored through

THG’s Group risk management processes and are integrated into wider

strategic planning.

Looking ahead, THG will continue to monitor climate-related impacts

onkey raw materials as part of our ongoing risk management

processes. As global climate projections,

sourcing conditions and

market dynamics evolve,

we will review the assumptions that underpin

our 2023 modelling and update the analysis where material changes

arise. This approach ensures that our understanding of short, medium

and long-term risks remains robust and aligned to the needs of the

business.

#### Strategic Report

#### TCFD continued

The modelling covered the 86 sites that remained within the Group’s portfolio at the end of 2024. Of these, eight were initially identified as being

at high or very high unmitigated risk under current climate conditions. Six sites were exposed primarily to surface water flooding, while two were

exposed to coastal inundation. THG undertook further investigation of the UK and US sites using national flood-mapping resources provided by the

Environment Agency and FEMA. This review indicated that, once existing mitigations and local flood-defence infrastructure were considered, the

UK sites were assessed as low or very low risk, while the US sites fell within or below the 0.2% annual chance flood-hazard category.

As part of our 2025 review, we reassessed the operational sites that remained under THG PLC following the demerger and confirmed that the

geographical footprint of the retained estate was consistent with, or closely aligned to, the locations assessed in the 2023 modelling.

Four of the initial eight sites identified as high or very high risk under current climate conditions remained part of the THG PLC portfolio. This

consists of one UK site which was exposed to coastal inundation and three in the US, two exposed primarily to surface water flooding and the

other to riverine flooding, which for all four identified as very high risk.

Ten new sites were added to the portfolio which were situated within the same regions as those previously modelled. On this basis, the demerger

did not materially alter our exposure to physical climate risk, and no new risks beyond those already identified in the 2023 assessment were

expected to arise.

Looking forward through the medium and long term, the model indicates that no additional sites were expected to enter the high or very high-risk

categories by 2050 or 2100. Importantly, all four sites identified as higher-risk locations, as well as the ten new sites, are leased or third-party

operated, which provides THG with flexibility regarding long-term occupation.

Overall, the modelling suggested that physical climate risks to operational sites were concentrated in a limited number of locations and that the

Group’s current footprint appeared broadly resilient across the short, medium and long term. Continued monitoring and the planned site-specific

investigations remain an important part of ensuring the long-term strategic robustness of THG’s operational estate.

In 2026 THG will continue to monitor physical climate risks across the operational estate and reassess site exposure to account for changes in

the property portfolio, scientific evidence and updated hazard data. This process ensures that our understanding of physical climate risks remains

current and that strategic decisions regarding site selection, investment and resilience planning remain aligned with the Group’s evolving risk profile.

#### Physical risk – operational

In 2023, THG undertook a comprehensive assessment to understand how physical climate change risks could affect the Group’s operational sites

over the short, medium and long term, in line with TCFD expectations. As climate change was anticipated to increase the frequency and severity of

extreme weather events, the analysis focused on seven key climate-related perils and examined how these hazards could influence the condition,

safety and financial exposure of our physical assets.

Each THG site was evaluated based on building type and local hazard exposure, and modelling was conducted under two climate scenarios with

ten-year time steps extending to 2100. Unlike raw material modelling, which focused on 2050, a longer horizon was considered appropriate for

physical assets given the lifespan and long-term nature of site-related investment. For every location, themodel estimated annualised damage

costsassociated with climate-driven physical risk as a proxy for future insurance-related financial exposure.

RCP pathways 2.6 and 8.5 were modelled for today (2023), short term (2030), medium term (2040), long term (2050) and very long term (2100).

For all of the perils considered, neither the time horizon nor the scenario changes the estimated risk, except for Soil Movement which increased

from very low to low under the RCP 8.5 pathway in 2100.

A core focus of the modelling was carbon policy and taxation risk. The analysis indicated that THG could begin to experience indirect

carbon-related costs under certain policy pathways, with most exposure arising from Scope 3 emissions due to their materiality within our

footprint. Although carbon taxes were unlikely to apply directly to THG, the modelling suggested that suppliers could pass costs on through

their pricing. Tomitigate this risk, THG advanced supplier engagement through the PACT programme, launched in 2024, supporting suppliers to

adoptscience-based targets. At the same time, progress towards our SBTi-validated net-zero targets continued to reduce potential exposure

underScope 1 and 2 emissions pathways.

Following the demerger, THG Ingenuity is now THG PLC’s key supplier for logistics and distribution. This means that Scope 3 transport and

distribution-related emissions (THG’s second largest category) are now concentrated within a smaller group of suppliers. As a result, Ingenuity’s

emissions profile and decarbonisation strategy will have a material impact on this category. Given the longstanding relationship between the

businesses, THG anticipates continued alignment and collaboration in support of its decarbonisation objectives and science-based targets.

Litigation risk was also assessed across three categories: greenwashing, directors’ and officers’ liability, and public nuisance or pollution claims.

Exposure was found to vary non-linearly across scenarios, with higher public-nuisance risk modelled in environments where policy action

remained limited.

To mitigate legal and reputational risks, THG strengthened its governance over sustainability-related claims, including a Group-wide green claims

process requiring evidence-based substantiation. This process was extended to third-party beauty platforms through our partnership with

Provenance, supporting claim validation across Cult Beauty and Lookfantastic.

The following table demonstrates the outputs of the carbon policy and litigation modelling, demonstrating the potential cost to the business

through taxation or litigation.

#### Transition risk continued

In 2023, THG modelled transition-related risks and opportunities to understand how the global shift to a lower-carbon economy could affect the

business over the short, medium and long term, in line with TCFD expectations. Transition modelling explored the potential implications of policy,

litigation, market shifts and reputational change, recognising that both risk exposure and strategic opportunity could increase as governments,

consumers and investors place greater emphasis on decarbonisation.

Given the greater forecasting certainty of shorter time horizons, the assessment modelled the period from 2024 to 2029. Thework was

underpinned by the Resilience model developed by the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies (table below), which has been used widely by

multinational companies to support TCFD disclosures.

This analysis helped the Group understand how carbon-related policy changes, litigation trends and market preferences might influence its

operating model, cost base and competitive positioning.

As a next step, THG will continue to monitor transition-related risk drivers across policy, markets, technology and consumer expectations,

ensuringour assessment remains up to date as global decarbonisation efforts accelerate. We will periodically evaluate supplier readiness,

reviewthe resilience of our net-zero strategy and assess how changes in regulation or stakeholder expectations could influence short, medium

and long-term outcomes. Where material developments arise, the Group will update the modelling and integrate insights into strategic planning,

product innovation and engagement with suppliers and customers to help capture opportunities associated with the transition.

#### Opportunities

Market-shift analysis explored how changing consumer preferences might influence demand for lower-impact products. Research undertaken in

2023 indicated that plant-based and lower-emission alternatives were well positioned to gain traction as the transition progressed. THG acted on

these insights through product innovation, including the development of Myprotein Superblend, which repurposed spent barley from the brewing

sector into a functional protein product. Brand-level sustainability communication was also enhanced, with newpublic-facing sustainability pages

introduced across several of THG’s largest brands to improve transparency and support consumer trust.

#### Risk Management

The identification and management of climate-related risks follow the Group’s existing risk management framework. However, the methodology

applied to climate risk themes differs as follows. To reflect the nature of climate change, the time horizon applied to velocity was short term at

2030, medium term at 2040 and long term at 2050. Our assessment of ‘likelihood’ is incorporated into the different climate scenarios that we

analyse. For example, where there is a similar outcome under all scenarios, the likelihood of the risk or opportunity is deemed high. Conversely,

where the outcome is only expected under stress scenarios the likelihood or opportunity is deemed low.

The standard Group approach in considering risks and future prospects is an assessment period of up to three years (aligned to the viability

assessment period). When assessing the likelihood of risk, we measure this as a percentage of possible occurrence in the next 12 months. The

Directors consider these deviations from the standard risk framework to be appropriate given the nature of this specific risk. Additionally, for our

climate-related risks and associated disclosures, the Group engaged several external partners during the year to assist with risk assessment over

the parts of the business over which THG has operational control.

The Risk Committee remains responsible for providing oversight of the Group’s risk management, but for climate-related risks is supported by

theSustainability Committee. Climate-related presentations provide the Committees with the opportunity to perform more in-depth reviews of

theassociated risk. The updates received by the Sustainability Committee during 2025 are detailed in the Sustainability Committee Report on

pages 93 and 94.

#### Strategic Report

Risk management and

#### informeddecision-making

#### A changing risk landscape

The current macroeconomic and

geopolitical environment continues to

present a challenging risk landscape for

all organisations. The effects of these

conditions on the business are explained in

various sections of the Strategic Report and

consequently the narrative included in the

Chief Executive Officer’s Review and Chief

Financial Officer’s Review. These sections

should be read together with the disclosures

below to allow for an overall understanding of

the risks and challenges which will continue

in 2026.

Our risk profile continues to evolve, and we

regularly reassess our view of principal risks;

however, no changes have been made to

the principal risks during the year. They are

outlined under ‘Principal risks’ below.

#### How we identify risks

Our risk identification process follows an

enterprise-wide ‘top-down, bottom-up’

approach, which seeks to identify:

•

principal risks that may affect our ability to

achieve our strategic objectives, or pace by

which we achieve them, with these risks

representing the risks that most threaten

the achievement of our strategy;

•

strategic, financial, operational, compliance

and change risks that occur across all our

businesses. These risks are those that

pose the greatest threat to the success of

business activities across the Group and

may also feed into our principal risks.

The bottom-up approach involves a rolling

programme of workshops across the business,

facilitated by the Risk team. Current and

emerging risks identified by management

teams are then added to risk registers, which

are owned by the respective divisional and

functional teams, and reviewed regularly.

These registers are consolidated and

aggregated into a Group risk register, which

provides organisational visibility to strategic,

financial, operational, compliance, change

and emerging risks. The Group risk register

underpins both the principal and emerging

risks, and the associated Committee updates

prepared by the Risk team.

The top-down approach involves the Board

and Risk Committee assessing these updates

and outputs. At each meeting, the Committee

reviews the principal risks, associated risk

metrics and updates presented by senior

executives, functional heads and the Risk

team. As part of the risk identification process,

the Committee will also make reference to

updates provided by the internal and external

audit teams in the Audit Committee.

#### Emerging risks

We define emerging risks as uncertainties

identified through the principal and operational

risk processes, whose full extent and

associated implications are not yet completely

clear. Emerging risks are identified using

internal and external sources, via our rolling

programme of workshops, and through

discussions with business leaders and

subject-matter experts.

By the very nature of emerging risks, it is

common to identify false leads, and conflicting

signals and messages. Irrespective, these

risks are logged and then investigated and

understood by the allocated risk owner,

working with the Risk team.

#### How we assess risks

We assess all identified risks for likelihood

and impact using a range of financial and

non-financial criteria. The assessment

considers risk before any mitigations (inherent

risk) and after current mitigations (residual

risk). The key benefit of assessing inherent risk

is to highlight potential risk exposure in the

event of control or mitigation failure.

We continue to consider risks both individually

and collectively to fully understand our risk

landscape. By analysing the correlation

between risks, we can identify those that

have the potential to cause, affect, or increase

another risk.

This exercise informs our scenario analysis,

particularly in scenarios used in the Viability

Statement, see pages 68 and 69.

While the identification and management

of climate-related risks follows the Group’s

existing risk management framework, the

methodology applied to the assessment

of climate risk themes differs. See the risk

management section on pages 54 to 59 of

theTCFDreport.

#### How we manage risks

Eliminating risk is often not feasible or

desirable, so we use our risk appetite

statement and risk appetite metrics to

informour decisions on risk treatment.

Our risk appetite reflects our ability and desire

to accept a certain level of risk to be able to

achieve our strategy.

We monitor each principal risk metric against

risk appetite targets and tolerances, to ensure

an acceptable level of risk for the Group and to

ensure these remain aligned with our strategic

objectives. We also monitor the current and

emerging risks identified by management

teams in their risk registers.

THG’s risk management framework is designed to protect the interests of key stakeholders and

enhance the quality of decision-making, enabling the effective management of our strategic, financial,

operational, compliance, change and emerging risks. The framework is integral to our day-to-day

activities, helping us achieve our strategic objectives through risk-informed decision-making and

managing risk effectively.

#### Roles and responsibilities

Our Three Lines Governance Model defines clear roles and responsibilities for all employees and establishes accountability for actions and

decisions. It also describes how appropriate oversight, challenge and assurance are provided over business activities and associated risks.

Three Lines Governance Model

#### Risk ownership and control

#### – 1st line

The first line represents all employees, who are responsible for identifying risks and procedures to

maintain effective controls day-to-day. They hold the necessary skills and knowledge to help with

identifying and managing risks within our business.

#### Monitoring and compliance

#### – 2nd line

The second line consists of teams including Risk, Technology, Health & Safety, Environmental,

Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, and Finance. These teams are responsible for establishing

frameworks and policies, while also providing the tools and techniques to enable the first line

tomanage risk effectively.

The Risk team has overall responsibility for facilitating and implementing a consistent risk

management approach across THG, including the provision of appropriate risk reporting for

theRisk Committee, Audit Committee and the Executive.

#### Independent assurance

#### – 3rd line

The Internal Audit team and external assurance providers give independent assurance and help

to assess whether the first two lines are operating effectively. The purpose and activities of the

Internal Audit team are set out in the relevant section of the Audit Committee Report on pages

79to 83.

Governance and oversight

#### Board

The Board retains overall responsibility for setting Group risk appetite and for risk management

and internal control systems. In accordance with Principles M, N and O of the 2024 Code the

Board is responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control

systems and confirms that:

•

there is an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the emerging risks faced

by the Company;

•

the systems have developed throughout the year under review and up to the date of the

approval of the Annual Report and Accounts; and

•

they are regularly reviewed by the Board.

There were no instances of significant control failing or weakness during the year.

We acknowledge changes to Provision 29 which will apply to financial years beginning on or after

1 January 2026, which will ask Boards to make a declaration in relation to the effectiveness of

their material internal controls. We have provided further details on how our risk management

processes are evolving to support this in the ‘Evolving our risk management processes’ section.

#### Risk Committee

The Risk Committee supports the Board in setting the Group’s risk appetite and ensuring

processes are in place to identify, manage and mitigate the Group’s principal risks.

At each meeting, the Committee is provided with updates on each principal risk and reviews

the associated risk metrics to assess whether they remain aligned to risk appetite targets and

tolerances. Any risk metric that is outside of appetite and tolerance is escalated by the Committee

to the Board. The Committee also considers any relevant sources of assurance relating to the key

controls and mitigations for each principal risk. These presentations provide the Committee with

the opportunity to review the overall impact on residual risk, and whether this falls within risk

appetite.

The updates received by the Committee during 2025 are detailed in the Risk Committee Report

onpages 91 and 92.

#### Risk management and informeddecision-making continued

#### Roles and responsibilities

#### continued

#### Evolving our risk management

#### processes

One of our ongoing aims is to promote greater

risk awareness across the Group and ensure

that all employees remain clear on their roles

and responsibilities. In support of this, during

2025, we replaced our existing software and

platforms to ensure that we have a more

integrated and workflow-driven approach to

risk, control and assurance, and an improved

line of sight through each of these areas.

Introducing the new software has created a

more interactive process for all stakeholders

and was used as an opportunity to refresh risk

registers across all key areas.

As required by Provision 29 of the 2024 Code,

which applies to financial years beginning on

or after 1 January 2026, the Board will need

to make additional declarations regarding

the effectiveness of their material controls.

In relation to this, during 2025, we have

reassessed how we capture and present

information to the relevant Committees,

to support the disclosures the Board will

ultimately need to make.

In 2025, we committed further investment into

our technology and cyber risks by establishing

a formal co-source assurance partnership

with a professional services firm. This will

ensure we maintain an adequate level of

assurance across both our ‘Cyber security

and data privacy’ and ‘THG Ingenuity reliance’

principalrisks.

Throughout 2026, the relevant Committees

will continue to receive updates on Provision

29 in the lead-up to the new disclosures

required within the FY 2026 Annual Report

and Accounts. We will also continue to embed

and develop our new software platform, in

support of both the Provision 29 initiatives

and our continuing aim to promote greater risk

awareness across the Group.

#### Principal risks

The Board and the Risk Committee carry out

an ongoing assessment of the principal and

emerging risks facing the Group throughout

the year. The assessment considers risks that

would threaten THG’s business model, future

performance, solvency or liquidity, and ensures

the risks continue to align with our business

strategy.

We continue to monitor and report on

12principal risks.

As detailed in the following table, a range of measures are in place, or are being deployed or developed, to manage and mitigate our principalrisks.

#### Strategic Report

#### Risk management and informeddecision-making continued

#### Assessment of the going concern

#### assumption

The Group remains in a strong cash position

following the demerger. As at the balance

sheet date, the Group had a total of £150m

in an undrawn revolving credit facility (“RCF”),

along with £183m readily available cash held

on the balance sheet.

Net debt at 31 December 2025 was £364m

(31 December 2024: £346m), with net debt of

£233m (31December 2024: £304m) before

the inclusion of IFRS 16 lease liabilities that

mature over a period of up to 25 years. During

2025 the Company announced the completion

of its debt refinancing through to 2029. As

part of a plan to deliver, an ‘amend and extend’

refinancing was agreed that reduced the

Term Loan B from €600m to €445m with

maturity extended by three years to December

2029. The Term Loan A was repaid in full

during October 2025. The RCF (undrawn at

year end) totals £150m and has also been

extended to 2029. The reduction in facilities

was partially funded by the equity placing and

equity raise during the year. The demerger

of THG Ingenuity has materially reduced the

cash outflows of the Group with substantial

reductions in lease commitments (c.£20m per

annum) and capex requirements, which in turn

mean that the Group requires smaller banking

facilities.

Additional liquidity was also obtained through

asset-backed lending facilities drawn on a

monthly basis. There are no key covenants

attached to the Term Loan B facility which

is drawn down. Covenants attached to the

RCF are linked to net debt leverage and only

become effective when the facility is drawn

above 20%, which is not anticipated to occur

on test dates (biannually).

This covenant requires the Group to maintain

the ratio of net debt over Adjusted EBITDA

to below 4.50 – 3.50 (over the course of the

term), which is reviewed regularly, although as

noted the facility is not drawn at the balance

sheet date. This facility provides the Group

liquidity optionality to manage seasonal

working capital movements. These covenants

are effective from 31 December 2025; prior

to this, the existing covenants remain in place

(gross debt over Adjusted EBITDA below 7.60

only in respect of the RCF).

The going concern assessment period is the

13months from the date of this report to

30 April 2027. In order to satisfy the going

concern assumption, the Directors of the

Group review its Budget periodically, which

is revisited and revised as appropriate in

response to evolving market conditions. The

Directors have considered the Budget and

forecast prepared through to 30 April 2027.

Refer to the Viability Statement for further

information on the stress test scenarios that

have been applied to the Group’s forecast.

#### Going concern statement

As a result of the analysis performed,

includingpotential severe but plausible

downside scenarios, the Board believes

thatthe Group is able to adequately manage

its financing and principal risks and that

the Group will be able to operate within the

level of its facilities and meet the required

covenants for the going concern assessment

period. Based on the above activity, the

Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to

prepare the financial statements of the Group

on a going concern basis.

#### Viability Statement

The Directors have adopted the UK Corporate

Governance Code, in which the Directors

are required to issue a Viability Statement

declaring whether they believe the Group

is able to continue to operate and meet its

liabilities for the period to December 2028,

taking into account its current position and

principal risks. The Directors assessed the

prospects of the Group by reference to its

current financial position, its recent and

historical financial performance, its forecasts

for future performance, its business model

(pages 2 and 3), strategy (pages 10 and 11)

andits principal risks and mitigating factors

(pages 60 to 67).

#### Viability assessment period

In considering the viability of the Group, the

Directors felt that an appropriate period of

time was the three-year period between

31December 2025 to December 2028 over

which to assess the Group’s prospects. This

is consistent with the Group’s business model

and strategic planning period approved by

the Board. A roll forward from the three-year

assessment period is performed for the

purposes of impairment.

The Group has applied financial modelling

tothe assessment of going concern and

viability to assess the base case and apply

stress testing.

#### The base case

The Group’s strategic planning cycle includes

an annual Budget process, which is reviewed

by the Board. This planning process involves

modelling under a series of assumptions.

Severe but plausible downside scenarios

were also modelled setting out impacts of a

combination of the principal risks, as well as a

reverse stress test to identify what would be

required to either breach covenants or run out

of liquidity. This process is led by the Group

CFO and Deputy Group CFO along with the

Board and Chair and CEO providing further

direction to align strategic initiatives. Forecasts

have been prepared on a divisional level.

The Directors of the Group review its Budget

periodically, which is revisited and revised as

appropriate in response to evolving market

conditions.

In considering the Group’s financial position

the Directors have considered:

•

expected future growth of trading

businesses;

•

margins expected to be achieved in the

future; and

•

wider market and industry-specific factors.

There is sufficient liquidity throughout the

forecast period in respect of the base case.

This is even before any mitigating actions

which could be implemented by management

and excludes a full drawdown of the RCF

facility.

#### Stress tests

Several stress test scenarios have been

applied to the Group’s forecast, including,

butnot limited to:

•

THG Beauty and THG Nutrition revenue

decline by 5%; and

•

THG Nutrition gross profit margin remains

atFY 2025 levels.

A severe but plausible downside modelled

the impact of all scenarios above occurring

simultaneously.

From this scenario, a reverse stress test was

modelled to identify the point at which liquidity

is exhausted. The model would have to see

a significant decline in revenue and margins

compared with the stress test set out above.

Such a scenario, and the sequence of events

which could lead to it, is considered to be

extremely remote. While the occurrence of one

or more of the principal risks has the potential

to affect future performance, none of them are

considered likely either individually or

collectively to give rise to a trading deterioration

of the magnitude indicated by the reverse

stress testing and to threaten the viability of

the Group over the assessment period.

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

#### Assessment of viability

In making the Viability Statement, the Board,

supported by the Audit and Risk Committees,

carried out a robust assessment of the

Group’s viability and the principal risks and

uncertainties facing THG for the next three

years, as described on pages 60 to 67,

whichcould impact the business model,

taking into account:

Factor

Stress test scenarios involving a depression

in revenue and margins within THG Nutrition

and THG Beauty have been run together to

show an unlikely but plausible worst case

downside scenario including an assessment

of the Group’s longer-term prospects. We

anticipate that these scenarios would include

any further uncertainties that may come from

the impact of the current macroeconomic

environment with high inflation and various

global recessions.

#### Link to principal risks

No associated potential impacts were

considered within the following principal

risksreview.

The worst case scenario outlined above did not

include any mitigating actions available. There

are a number of actions that management

would take to protect working capital and

strengthen the balance sheet if any of the

scenarios outlined above were encountered

asincluded above (see Stress test).

Based upon the assessment of the sensitivity

built into the scenarios tested, the Directors

confirm that they have a reasonable

expectation that the Group will be able to

continue in operation to meet its liabilities

as they fall due over the period up until

December2028.

#### Corporate Governance Report

Dear Shareholders,

It is my pleasure to introduce our Corporate Governance Report for the

2025financial year and update you on the Company’s governance

frameworkand practices.

In light of the Company’s transfer to the ESCC category of the Official

List on 6 January 2025 (the “Effective Date”) and its subsequent

inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index, our corporate governance arrangements

were subject to detailed oversight and review throughout the year

to ensure THG’s governanceinfrastructure remained appropriately

matureand robust.

We believe the enhancements made during 2025 demonstrate our

ongoing commitment to the principles of good corporate governance

and reflect our conviction that a strong governance framework is

fundamental to the Group’s long-term, sustainable success and,

ultimately, the creation of Shareholdervalue.

Code compliance

Since Admission and prior to the Effective

Date, the Company voluntarily reported

against the 2018 Code, despite its application

being mandatory only for those companies

with an ESCC-category classification (formerly

premium-listed issuers). The 2018 Code was

considered the most appropriate framework

for the Company to adopt, providing a strong

foundation to establish, develop and inform its

governance infrastructure and, in turn, foster

stakeholder confidence.

From the Effective Date reporting against

the 2024 Code – applicable to financial

years beginning on or after 1 January 2025

–became mandatory. I am pleased to confirm

that the Company fully complied with its

provisions during the 2025 reporting period.

In preparation for the new Code Provision 29

requirements coming into effect on 1January

2026, the Audit Committee, together with

the Risk Committee, considered the ongoing

development and enhancement of the

Group’s internal control framework to ensure

that appropriate governance and assurance

structures are embedded across the

organisation. This is discussed further in the

relevant Board Committee Reports.

#### Board composition

As discussed within the Nomination

Committee Report, Board composition

continued to be closely monitored throughout

2025, with an ongoing focus on the Chair’s

stated mandate to refresh and strengthen

the Board by enhancing independence and

diversity, in line with the FCA’s diversity targets

and the Group’s broader EDI vision.

Significant progress was made in this regard

and, following John Gallemore’s resignation

from the Board and as COO, effective upon

completion of the demerger of THG Ingenuity

on 2 January 2025, we welcomed Milyae Park

as an independent NED.

It is particularly pleasing that, with this

appointment, the Company achieved

full compliance with the FCA’s diversity

requirements.

From 28 January 2025 to the date of this

Corporate Governance Report, one of our four

senior Board positions has been held by a

woman (i.e. Sue Farr, who has served as SID

since her appointment to the Board), over 40%

of our Board have been women and the Board

has included one Director from a minority

ethnic background.

Further information on these Board changes,

and on the Board’s consideration of EDI

matters more generally, can be found in the

Nomination Committee Report.

#### Our people

Workforce engagement was a priority focus

for the Board during 2025, and remains

so in 2026. Following the demerger of

THG Ingenuity and the implementation of

cost-rationalisation programmes to right-size

the Group’s cost base, the Board has been

keen to ensure that, in compliance with the

Code, engagement mechanisms remain

effective.

As considered in further detail in the

‘Workforce engagement’ section which follows,

these measures were subject to ongoing

review throughout the year and developed and

enhanced as appropriate.

Notably, the decision was taken to formally

appoint Helen Jones as the designated

workforce NED, with effect from 9 July 2025.

This appointment was made to both

strengthen existing engagement mechanisms

and ensure that the views of the workforce

within the reshaped Group continued to be

appropriately reflected in Board discussions

and decision-making.

#### AGM

We remain committed to fostering effective,

ongoing communication with all stakeholders

and view the Company’s annual general

meetings as a key opportunity to engage

openly with our Shareholders. Details of the

forthcoming AGM will be included in the

Notice of Meeting and, as always, we very

much look forward to meeting with those

Shareholders who are able to attend.

#### Governance

#### Corporate Governance Report continued

Board composition and

#### independence

As detailed overleaf, the Board currently

comprises two Executive Directors (i.e. the

CEO and the CFO) and seven NEDs, six of

whom (including the Chair) are considered

to be independent in both character and

judgement. Following an assessment of

his individual circumstances against Code

Provision 10, NED Edward Koopman is not

deemed to be independent.

Edward Koopman was appointed to the

Board prior to Admission to represent Sofina

SA (“Sofina”), a major Shareholder who has

continued to hold Ordinary Shares following

Admission, and has a tenure exceeding nine

years. Edward Koopman is both an employee

of Sofina and a member of its Leadership

Council and, while he has remained on the

Board, his continued THG directorship is not in

a Shareholder-representative capacity. Edward

Koopman is regarded as an effective Board

member and his robust challenges and wealth

of business knowledge and experience are

considered to add value to Board discussions.

As the Company has previously disclosed,

the holding of Ordinary Shares by NEDs is not

considered to impair their independence but is

viewed as aligning their interests with those of

Shareholders more generally and, in turn, with

the long-term interests and success of the

Company. Consequently, NEDs may purchase

Ordinary Shares at market value via a broker

and facilitated by the Company if required.

Directors’ holdings are set out within the

Directors’ Remuneration Report.

On an analysis which incorporates the strict

letter of the Code and excludes the Chair,

theCode Provision 11 requirement that at least

half the Board are independent NEDs was

satisfied throughout the whole of the 2025

financial year.

Excluding the Independent Chair from the

calculations, the position was as follows:

•

prior to John Gallemore resigning from

the Board and as COO with effect from

completion of the demerger of THG

Ingenuity on 2 January 2025, the Board

comprised three Executive Directors

(i.e. the CEO, the CFO and the COO),

non-independent NED Edward Koopman

and four independent NEDs (i.e. Sue Farr,

Dean Moore, Gillian Kent and Helen Jones);

•

in the period 3 January 2025 to 27 January

2025, the Board comprised two Executive

Directors (i.e. the CEO and the CFO) and,

again, one non-independent NED and four

independent NEDs; and

•

following the appointment of independent

NED Milyae Park on 28 January 2025 and

in the period to 31 December 2025, the

Board comprised two Executive Directors,

one non-independent NED and five

independent NEDs.

No further Board changes have been

implemented since Milyae Park’s appointment.

Accordingly, as at the date of this Corporate

Governance Report, Board composition

remains in alignment with Code Provision 11.

A summary of the principal responsibilities

of all Board members is contained within the

Nomination Committee Report.

#### Board role and responsibilities

In satisfaction of Code Provision 14, the

Company has published a formal Schedule

of Matters Reserved to the Board (“Schedule

of Reserved Matters”), which is available on

its website at: https://fcdn.thg-corporate.

com/thg/schedule\_of\_matters\_reserved\_

to\_the\_board\_252472\_4\_31689\_

v4\_0\_7ef1125a06.pdf.

This document details the Board’s primary

responsibilities and identifies those items

of business – such as strategic, financial

reporting and corporate and capital structure

matters – which are expressly reserved for

the Board’s collective consideration, oversight

and/or ratification (as appropriate).

Under the terms of this Schedule of Reserved

Matters, and in accordance with the Code, the

Board retains ultimate responsibility for the

management of risk within the Group and is

required to, amongst other matters, maintain

and monitor the Group’s risk management and

internal control systems (including financial,

operational and compliance) and, at least

annually, review their effectiveness.

In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Board

also approves organisational risk appetite

statements and undertakes a robust

assessment of the principal and emerging

risks facing the Group.

During 2025 the Board was supported in

these activities by the Audit Committee and

the Risk Committee, further details on which

can be found within the respective Board

Committee Reports.

Full details of the Group’s risk management

framework, risk appetite and risk identification

process are provided within the ‘Risk

management and informed decision-making’

section of the Strategic Report.

This section includes confirmation that, during

the 2025 financial year, the Board – assisted,

as appropriate, by the Audit Committee

and the Risk Committee – reviewed the

effectiveness of the risk management systems

and internal control frameworks and identified

no significant control failings or weaknesses.

More broadly, the Board remains mindful of its

overarching duty under the Code to promote

the long-term, sustainable success of the

Company, generating value for Shareholders

and contributing to wider society.

This responsibility continues to underpin all

Board discussions and is one which the Board

seeks to discharge through the ongoing

oversight and successful delivery of the

Company’s strategic priorities which, in turn,

flow from its stated purpose “to create iconic

retail experiences in the beauty, health and

wellnessmarkets”.

THG’s purpose, together with its vision and

values, are considered further within the

‘Our business model’ section of the Strategic

Report. In the present context it is noteworthy

that the purpose has been determined with

reference to the diversity of the Company’s

stakeholder base and formulated to drive

andguide a strategy which aims to deliver

long-term, sustainable growth, while

simultaneously promoting environmental

andsocial responsibility.

The Group’s commitment to these objectives

may be clearly evidenced through, for example,

the key function which the Sustainability

Committee plays within THG’s governance

infrastructure i.e. overseeing the delivery of

the Group’s Sustainability Strategy and, in turn,

embedding sustainability at the heart of all

THG operations.

The implementation of the Group’s Board-

approved Social Impact Strategy, focused

on maximising THG’s impact on, and driving

positive change within, its local communities,

further demonstrates THG’s social conscience

and underlines its robust commitment to act

as a force for good and create a better, more

sustainable future for all.

In seeking to provide the effective and

entrepreneurial leadership expected

under the Code, and acknowledging

the Company’s responsibilities to both

Shareholders and its broader stakeholder

base, the Board recognises the importance

of active engagement to ensure it remains

fully apprised of stakeholder views and is

appropriately informed in its deliberations.

To this end, six stakeholder categories have

been identified as critical to THG’s future

success and these, together with engagement

mechanisms and outcomes, are discussed

further within the ‘Section 172 Statement:

Stakeholder Engagement’ section of the

Strategic Report.

#### Governance overview

A robust governance framework has been established within the Group to ensure the Board is properly supported in the effective discharge of

its duties. At the time of Admission, the Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee were constituted, followed by the

Related Party Committee, the Risk Committee and the Sustainability Committee. Further details on the role, composition and activities of each of

these Board Committees are provided within the respective Board Committee Reports.

Accordingly, the Company’s governance structure during 2025 was as follows (and remains so at the date of this Corporate Governance Report):

#### Board meetings and activities

While nine core Board meetings were scheduled to take place during 2025, additional meetings were arranged on an ad hoc basis to

ensure theeffective consideration and oversight of time-sensitive business, including key strategic items such as the wholly unsolicited and

non-bindingproposal from Selkirk to acquire the Myprotein business from THG Nutrition and the disposal of Claremont Ingredients (further

detailson which follow).

The Board ultimately convened on 15 occasions, with Board member attendance set out in the table which follows. Director attendance at Board

Committee meetings is detailed within each of the Board Committee Reports.

Board, and Board Committee, documentation continues to be issued in advance of meetings via a leading third-party, cloud-based governance

platform which provides a secure and efficient means by which to manage and distribute Board information. This platform also serves as a

centralised document storage facility through which information can be accessed by Directors on an ongoing basis.

The monthly Board packs incorporate the prior month’s financial results, on a Group and individual business basis, together with key non-financial

information relating to areas of Board focus such as People (including workforce engagement and EDI matters), Investor Relations and Technology.

To ensure Directors have sufficient time to review and consider documentation, papers are now typically issued no later than five working days

inadvance of a meeting (as discussed further within the ‘Board performance review’ section of the Nomination Committee Report).

#### Governance

#### Corporate Governance Report continued

#### Board meetings and activities continued

In addition to the reserved business detailed within the aforementioned Schedule of Matters, a number of other key topics were considered by the

Board during the year, including (but not limited to) the following:

Corporate activity:

•

Overseeing the completion of the demerger of THG Ingenuity from the Group at the start of the year.

•

Considering and approving:

•

the refinancing of the Company’s debt, including extending the maturity of the existing £150m RCF from May 2026 to May 2029 and

a partial ‘amend and extend’ of the existing Term Loan B from €600m to €445m with maturity extended by three years to December

2029; and

•

the oversubscribed equity fundraise which took place in conjunction with the refinancing and pursuant to which the Company received

gross proceeds of £90m, comprising £22m raised from the equity placing and an equity contribution of £68m from Matthew Moulding

structured by way of a non-interest-bearing convertible loan agreement entered into between the Company and FIC Shareco Limited

(aGuernsey-registered corporate entity wholly owned by Matthew Moulding) (“Convertible Loan”).

Governance:

•

Ongoing consideration of certain governance arrangements within the Group in light of the Company’s transfer from the Transition

category to the ESCC category of the Official List, effective from 6 January 2025, and its subsequent inclusion within the FTSE 250 Index.

•

Ongoing oversight of post-demerger arrangements between the Company and THG Ingenuity, including with reference to the arm’s length

contracts between the parties for various services across technology, fulfilment and marketing.

•

Further to the Nomination Committee’s recommendations, considering and approving the appointment of Milyae Park to the Board, with

effect from 28 January 2025, and the appointment of Helen Jones as the Company’s designated NED for workforce engagement, with

effect from 9 July 2025.

•

Given that, as a Director, Matthew Moulding is deemed to be a related party under the UKLRs and entry into the Convertible Loan

constituted a Related Party Transaction, considering and concluding that the proposed entry into the Convertible Loan was fair and

reasonable from a Shareholder perspective (and as so advised by Rothschild & Co in its role as the Company’s sponsor in connection with

the transaction).

Strategy:

•

Ongoing consideration of the Group’s strategic aims and objectives in light of, amongst other matters, macroeconomic conditions,

geopolitical uncertainties, high inflation and globalrecessions.

•

Considering the wholly unsolicited, largely unfunded, highly conditional and non-binding proposal from Selkirk to acquire Myprotein and

unequivocally rejecting it on the basis it was considered to fundamentally undervalue Myprotein and its prospects and, in addition, carried

significant execution complexity and risks (in particular the ability of Selkirk to raise sufficient funding).

•

Following a highly competitive process and pursuant to the stated strategy to simplify the Group and expedite progress towards a net

cash balance sheet, considering and approving the disposal of Claremont Ingredients to the Nactarome Group, fast-growth international

flavour specialists, for c.£103m incash.

General:

Ongoing oversight of:

•

the Group’s market guidance and consensus;

•

the progress being made against the stated strategies of the individual businesses to drive sustainable, profitable growth, deepen

customer relationships and lead with innovation, supported by a programme of cost savings and strong cash discipline; and

•

the review and enhancement of workforce engagement measures and the People agenda more generally in light of the demerger of

THGIngenuity (as discussed further in the ‘Workforce engagement’ section which follows).

Further information on the main discussions and principal decisions taken by the Board during 2025, including relevant stakeholder

considerations, can be found within the ‘Section 172 Statement: Stakeholder Engagement’ section of the Strategic Report.

#### Board commitments and conflicts

The Board, in conjunction with the Nomination

Committee, keeps the time commitment

expected of, and expended by, NEDs under

ongoing consideration. As at the date of this

Corporate Governance Report, it is satisfied

that NEDs’ current external commitments,

as detailed within their biographies, do

not compromise their effectiveness or

performance.

To ensure that Board members have

sufficient time to discharge their duties and

responsibilities, and in recognition of Code

Principle H and Provision 15, NEDs’ Letters of

Appointment (“Appointment Letters”) require

that, prior to appointment, they disclose all

significant business (and other) interests and

a broad indication of the time associated with

those interests. The Board must thereafter

be kept informed of any changes to such

commitments and at least seven days’

written notice must be provided to the Chair

before a NED accepts an additional external

commitment which may impact the time they

are able to commit to their Boardrole.

While it is accepted that NEDs may have

business interests outwith those of the

Company, NEDs must not put themselves in a

position where their duties to any other person,

firm or company conflict with their duties to

the Company or the wider Group. A NED must

disclose any actual or potential conflict of

interest to the Board as soon as it becomes

apparent and at least seven days’ written

notice must be provided to the Chair before

a NED accepts an appointment as a director,

agent, employee or consultant of any company

or firm engaged in a business competing

with, or similar to that of, the Company or

anyGroupcompany.

Appointment Letters further provide that,

in addition to attending standard Company

meetings (including Board meetings, Board

Committee meetings and the Company’s

annual general meeting), NEDs are expected

to commit sufficient time to the appropriate

preparation ahead of such meetings and,

overall, devote at least two days per month

to their role. More generally, NEDs must

be prepared to commit additional time as

circumstances require, and particularly when

the Company is undergoing a period of

increased activity.

This was the case during 2025 when a

number of additional Board meetings

took place to ensure that due and timely

consideration was given to, amongst other

matters, the proposals to refinance the

Company’s debt to establish a long-term

capital structure in support of THG’s

strategicgrowth targets and launch the

associated equity raise (as discussed in

furtherdetail in the ‘Board meetings and

activities’ section opposite).

As previously disclosed, following Admission

and pursuant to arm’s length leases, the Group

has continued to occupy and utilise property

assets which are owned by the Propco Group,

which itself is wholly owned by the CEO (who

is also a major Shareholder).

As a result of these arrangements, the

Board-constituted Related Party Committee

was established to oversee and approve

Related Party Transactions and provide the

requisite governance structure within which

any actual or potential conflicts of interest

could be considered and appropriately

addressed.

Further information on the responsibilities of

the Related Party Committee and its principal

activities during 2025 can be found within the

Related Party Committee Report.

Board effectiveness and

#### performance review

In compliance with Code Principle I, the

Company is committed to ensuring that

the Board and the Board Committees have

access to the resources necessary to

operate effectively and properly discharge

the responsibilities incumbent upon them.

The Company Secretary plays a central role

in this regard, providing assistance to Board

members, as required, and advising on legal,

regulatory and governance matters.

The wider Senior Management team also

provides ongoing support, comprising

colleagues who have progressed through

the internal talent framework and who, in

turn, possess a deep knowledge and ‘on the

ground’ awareness of/practical insight into

theCompany and its operations.

Reflecting its belief that the evaluation

process is a critical tool within the Group’s

corporate governance arrangements, and

in accordance with Code Principle L and

Provision 21, the Company has conducted

formal Board performance reviews on an

annual basis since Admission.

The annual reviews consider, amongst other

matters, the effectiveness of the Board and the

Board Committees. While further information

on the 2025 performance review can be found

within the ‘Board performance review’ section

of the Nomination Committee Report, in the

present context it is notable that the Board is

considered to function in a collaborative and

effective manner and each Director is regarded

as making an effective contribution.

More generally, Board relations and, in turn,

effectiveness are cultivated on an informal

basis via the discussions and interactions

which take place amongst Board members

outwith the formal confines of the boardroom.

This continues to be encouraged through, for

example, the operational site visits which are

arranged for NEDs throughout each financial

year and the various Board dinners which

havenow become embedded within the

annual Board planning cycle i.e. full Board,

NED-only, Chair and CEO and Board and

Senior Management dinners.

Additionally, an in-person, ‘closed-door’

session has been introduced between the

CEOand the NEDs prior to each monthly

Board meeting. Such engagement plays

a vitalrole in fostering and strengthening

effective and cohesive Board relations.

#### Board training and induction

A range of measures are in place to address

the continuing professional development

needs of the Board, on a collective and

individual basis, and ensure Directors possess

the necessary knowledge and insight –

market, operational, regulatory and otherwise

– to monitor and oversee delivery of the

Group’s strategic aims and objectives and,

in turn, secure sustainable value creation for

Shareholders.

For example, during 2025 each scheduled

monthly Board meeting included a deep dive

into either THG Beauty, THG Nutrition or a key

Group function or business area. Embedding

these sessions within the annual Board

meeting cycle ensures that NEDs remain

fully informed of key Group and individual

business matters, including operational and

financial performance, market challenges and

landscape and priority focus areas such as

Sustainability, People, Culture and Succession

and Cyber Security.

Training and update sessions are also

arrangedat the request of Board members.

Forinstance, following the Marketing deep

dive in September 2025 it was agreed

that – given the scope of the topic and the

interest and queries generated – a follow-up

Marketing/AI workshop would be arranged

forNEDs the following month.

The Company’s corporate brokers and legal

advisers attended various Board meetings

throughout the year to provide advice and

support on key areas of strategic focus and,

where appropriate, deliver relevant teach-in

sessions. In such cases, associated briefing

materials were included within Board packs

for Directors’ ongoing reference.

The brokers and legal advisers also presented

at the Board’s annual Strategy Session in

June2025, which was additionally attended

by THG’s media advisers.

as appropriate, to the needs of the incoming

Director – as was the case for Milyae Park

upon her appointment in January 2025.

Theprogramme is designed to familiarise new

Directors with the Group and the individual

businesses while reinforcing the duties and

responsibilities incumbent upon them as THG

Directors and Board Committee members.

The programme includes the provision of

briefing memoranda on core regulatory and

legislative matters, such as the UK Market

Abuse Regulation, inside information and

insider dealing, alongside interactive training

and update sessions with relevant external

advisers e.g. legal and remuneration.

One-to-one sessions are typically arranged

with Executive Directors and members of

Senior Management to provide a general

introduction to principal areas of the

business and its operations, with further

tailored sessions offered to address specific

interests and/or where more detailed insight

is requested. Key Company policies are also

shared and appropriate site visits arranged to

enhance organisational understanding.

The Company continues to arrange

membership of the Non-Executive Directors’

Association for all Board members, including

Executive Directors, and through this

membership Directors have access to a

comprehensive suite of technical knowledge

updates and a monthly programme of

seminars and briefings (including networking

events). The Company is fully supportive of,

and indeed encourages, Directors’ attendance

at any events which may be of interest to them

and/or which address particular training needs.

#### Workforce engagement

The Board seeks to promote an entrepreneurial

and values-led culture which is informed by

THG’s core values of ambition, collaboration,

innovation, decisiveness and leadership

(details on which can be found in the ‘Our

business model’ section of the Strategic

Report). These values have been formulated to,

collectively, support the successful delivery of

the Company’s strategic aims and objectives

and provide a framework within which THG

can nurture a diverse, inclusive and supportive

workplace culture where all employees have

an equal voice.

THG remains committed to placing its People

at the heart of the organisation and recognises

the value of regular and transparent workforce

engagement to ensure the most salient

workforce issues and concerns are properly

understood, discussed and addressed.

Itis considered that a truly engaged and

empowered workforce will contribute to an

enhanced workplace culture which, in turn,

will strengthen operational resilience and

long-term growth.

Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity

at the start of the year, the Board was

keen to ensure that, as required under the

Code, engagement mechanisms remained

effective for the reshaped Group. Workforce

engagement was therefore high on the Board

agenda throughout 2025 and represented a

combined priority focus area for the People

team and the Sustainability Committee (falling

as it does within the scope of the Group’s

Sustainability Strategy).

Engagement measures were subject to

continued review during the year and

developed and enhanced as considered

appropriate. Key initiatives included:

•

launching new and refreshed Employee

Networks to promote belonging, community

and psychological safety within the

workplace (further details on which can be

found in the ‘Equity, diversity and inclusion’

section of the Nomination Committee

Report);

•

reviewing the Employee Value Proposition

to ensure it remained fit for purpose and

positioned the Group competitively within

the market;

•

introducing global pulse surveys via the

Group’s re-launched intranet and a physical

suggestion box at Head Office; and

•

implementing ‘stay’ interviews with top

talent to understand drivers of engagement

and retention.

Directors were kept fully informed of all

material workforce matters through a variety of

means, including the incorporation of a People

section within the main deck of Board packs

and the attendance of the Chief People Officer,

who has ultimate oversight of the Group’s

workforce engagement initiatives, at monthly

Board meetings.

Additionally, as Board Committee updates are

an established agenda item at monthly Board

meetings, the NED Sustainability Committee

Chair had the opportunity to update the wider

Board on those People (including engagement)

matters which fell within the remit of the

Sustainability Committee.

Such alternative engagement mechanisms

have been adopted by the Company since

Admission, as permitted under the Code, and

have been monitored by the Board on an

ongoing basis to ensure they remain effective

(as confirmed in previous Annual Reports and

Accounts).

Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity and

the implementation of cost-rationalisation

programmes to right-size the Group’s cost

base, the decision was taken to formally

appoint Helen Jones as the designated

workforce NED, with effect from 9July2025.

This appointment supplemented and

strengthened existing engagement

mechanisms and ensured that workforce

views within the reshaped Group continued

to be appropriately reflected within Board

discussions and decision-making.

As designated workforce NED, Helen Jones

assumed chairship of the employee ‘listening

groups’ which were launched during 2025

and held at various locations and sites across

the business. The wider Board received direct

updates from Helen Jones following each

of these sessions and, pleasingly, feedback

has confirmed that the groups are delivering

positive results and providing a safe forum for

open and transparent discussion on a range

of topics.

In November 2025 the inaugural quarterly

collective meeting of the refreshed Employee

Networks took place, at which key themes,

insights and learnings were exchanged

and discussed by the Networks’ Senior

Sponsors and Executive Advocates. Helen

Jones attended this meeting, underlining

the high value which the Board places upon

fostering effective and meaningful workforce

engagement strategies and its commitment to

the People agenda more generally.

The Board considers that the engagement

arrangements outlined above provide a

framework which encourages regular,

transparent and comprehensive dialogue

amongst the workforce, Senior Management

and the Board. These arrangements are

subject to ongoing review to ensure that,

inaccordance with Code Provision 5, they

remain effective as the Company continues

itsplc evolution.

Based on insights and data generated by the

various engagement channels, the decision

was taken to refrain from running a more

fulsome annual engagement survey during

2025 and, instead, focus on shaping a

purposeful People plan for 2026.

This plan, informed by a detailed review of

all engagement output, aims to embed a

high-performance culture within the business,

strengthen leadership pipelines and align

THG’s talent strategy with future business

priorities – ensuring that the Group has the

right people, in the right roles, with the right

capabilities, to drive and deliver success

and long-term, sustainable growth for

Shareholders.

#### Audit Committee Report

“ With the Code Provision 29 updates coming into effect

on 1 January 2026, the Audit Committee maintained a

strong focus during the year on supporting the continued

enhancement of THG’s control environment, ensuring

that robust governance structures, assurance activity

andoversight remain firmly embedded.”

#### Dean Moore

Chair of the Audit Committee

I am pleased to introduce the 2025 Audit Committee Report and to confirm that the Committee

has continued to operate effectively throughout the year, delivering against its Terms of

Reference.

The Group’s internal control frameworks – including financial, operational and compliance – and

risk management systems were subject to rigorous oversight and review by the Committee to

ensure their continued effectiveness and integrity.

In conjunction with the Risk Committee, the Audit Committee gave robust consideration to the

ongoing evolution of the Group’s control and risk management environment in advance of the

Code Provision 29 updates taking effect at the start of 2026.

Further, following a general review of Board Committee membership, the Committee’s

composition was bolstered with the appointment of Milyae Park as a member inJuly 2025.

#### Role and activities

The Terms of Reference of the Audit Committee confirm that its purpose is to support the Board

in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing and monitoring:

•

the independence and effectiveness of internal and external audit functions;

•

the integrity of the Group’s financial and narrative statements; and

•

the Group’s internal financial controls, internal controls and, as appropriate and in conjunction

with the Risk Committee, risk management framework.

Throughout 2025, the Audit Committee Chair – and other Committee members where

appropriate – maintained an ongoing dialogue with key individuals involved in the Group’s

governance, including the Independent Chair, the CEO and the Director of Internal Audit and Risk.

In addition to attending all Audit Committee meetings, the External Auditor continued to meet

with Committee members in the absence of Senior Management and held private meetings with

the Audit Committee Chair to discuss the scope of the audit plan, the remit of the external audit,

and to challenge, as they considered appropriate, the findings of the audit process. This included

(but was not limited to) any material issues identified, areas of significant judgement and the

overall effectiveness of the audit process.

Terms of Reference:

Further information on the requirements relating to the composition and meetingsof the

Audit Committee, together with its duties and responsibilities, can be found within its

Terms of Reference which are available on the Company’s website at: https://fcdn.thg-

corporate.com/thg/Audit\_Committee\_Terms\_of\_Reference\_211313fa56.pdf.

The Terms of Reference were considered by the Board in December 2024 and updated

to reflect the provisions of the new Code and the associated FRC Guidance. The updated

Terms of Reference took effect on 1 January2025.

#### Governance

#### Role and activities continued

The key areas of review which the Audit Committee considered during the 2025 financial year are summarised as follows:

#### Financial reporting

•

Reviewed the Annual Report and the final half-year statement, including key accounting judgements, materiality and the External Auditor’s

report on the interim statements

•

Reviewed key judgements and estimates in preparation for year-end reporting

•

Reviewed year-end matters, including the draft Annual Report (and assessed the processes to ensure it is fair, balanced and

understandable), significant accounting judgements, the draft and final full-year results announcement, the Going Concern Statement

andthe viability model

•

Considered the impact of climate risks on the financial statements

•

Reviewed other reports and papers from Senior Management around key accounting judgements and transactions and updates relating

to readiness for application of Code Provision 29

#### External audit

#### Significant financial reporting areas

A key role of the Audit Committee is to assess whether the judgements and estimates made by Senior Management are reasonable and

appropriate. To assist in this assessment, the Finance team provide accounting papers to the Audit Committee which detail the financial aspects

surrounding key accounting judgements and areas of focus for THG, including all significant issues outlined in the table which follows.

As part of the year-end reporting process, the Audit Committee considered this Annual Report, Senior Management’s papers on key accounting

estimates and judgements, the going concern and viability review, updates provided by the External Auditor and accounting and reporting matters

(including representation letters from Senior Management in respect thereof).

The Audit Committee assessed whether suitable accounting policies had been adopted and the reasonableness of the judgements and estimates

that had been made by Senior Management.

Key accounting matters which received particular focus from the Audit Committee during 2025, and relating to the financial statements for the

period, are as follows:

Area of focus  Audit Committee considerations and actions Impact on financial information and disclosures

Gain on demerger

of THG Ingenuity

While the majority of the accounting for the demerger of THG

Ingenuity was disclosed and recorded within the 2024 Annual Report,

the demerger completed on 2 January 2025.

The Audit Committee reviewed the gain on demerger recognised

within discontinued operations including movements in 2025,

primarily being in respect of the finalisation of completion accounts.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the financial statement

disclosures.

The Discontinued operations note 12.2 is

included within the consolidated financial

statements.

Impairment of

goodwill and

intangible assets

for THG Beauty CGU

The Audit Committee reviewed Management’s impairment paper in

detail and challenged key judgements, including terminal growth rate,

forecast cash flows and discount rate, and concluded these to be

appropriate for THG Beauty.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the financial statement

disclosures.

The Intangible assets note 11 is included

within the consolidated financial statements.

#### Audit Committee Report continued

Area of focus  Audit Committee considerations and actions Impact on financial information and disclosures

Presentation and

disclosure of

adjusted items

and APMs

To allow the Audit Committee to assess the policy, presentation and

disclosure applied, Management presented a detailed category-by-

category analysis of adjusted items to the Committee in the year.

The Audit Committee also considered the presentation of APMs

throughout this Annual Report and whether this enables a clear and

fair understanding of performance.

This included the separate presentation and APMs of discontinued

categories consistent with Management actions announced as part

ofthe strategic review.

The conclusion was that the adjusted items policy was appropriate

and being applied consistently. The Audit Committee concluded that

the use of APMs was satisfactory.

The Adjusted items note 4 is included within

the consolidated financial statements.

Related Party

Transactions

The Group leases a number of properties from a related party and,

following the demerger, THG Ingenuity has been classified as a related

party for FY 2025. A Related Party Committee is in place to review and

approve any Related Party Transactions in the year.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the related party disclosure within

the financial statements to ensure this gives a true and fair view. This

has included a review of whether there are any additional related

parties outside of those already identified due to Board appointments

and shareholdings in the year.

The Audit Committee also approved the disclosure for inclusion within

the financial statements.

More details on related parties are included

within the Related Party Committee Report.

Related party details are included within

note 27 within the consolidated financial

statements.

Code Provision 29 Alongside the Risk Committee, the Audit Committee has reviewed the

approach and progress Management has taken to the adoption of

Code Provision 29 from 1 January 2026. More information is included

within the Risk section of this Annual Report.

No impact in FY 2025.

Corporate Reporting

Review by the FRC

The FRC completed a limited scope Corporate Reporting Review

of our 2024 Annual Report, closing its enquiries in March 2026.

Shareholders approved the demerger of THG Ingenuity on

27December 2024, and the dividend in specie was recognised on

that date. The Directors carried out an appropriate assessment of

distributable reserves in line with the Companies Act at the time.

Following the FRC review, it was identified that an administrative

step of filing interim accounts as at 27 December 2024 had not

been undertaken. Having taken legal advice, the Company has now

filed those interim accounts at Companies House, and we expect

a Shareholder resolution will be proposed at the forthcoming AGM.

TheAudit Committee is overseeing completion of these steps.

No impact on the financial statements.

In addition to these areas, the Audit Committee also discussed revenue recognition with the External Auditor and is satisfied that revenue has been

recognised appropriately.

The preceding table is not a complete list of all the Group’s accounting issues, judgements, estimates and policies, but, in the opinion of the Audit

Committee, details the most significant items which were considered during the 2025 financial year.

#### Fair, balanced and understandable assessment

At the request of the Board and pursuant to its Terms of Reference, the Audit Committee has considered whether, in its opinion and when taken as

a whole, the Annual Report is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for Shareholders to assess THG’s position

and performance, business model and strategy.

THG has established internal controls in relation to the process for preparing the Annual Report, including the following:

•

Senior Management regularly monitors and considers developments in accounting regulations and financial reporting and, where appropriate,

reflects developments in the financial statements.

•

The Annual Report is drafted by Senior Management, with overall coordination undertaken by a member of the Finance team and additional

support provided by external advisers to ensure consistency across the relevant sections and inclusion of the necessary information for

Shareholders to assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy.

•

Comprehensive reviews of drafts of the Annual Report are undertaken by Executive Directors and Senior Management as part of an internal

verification process which is carried out to ensure accuracy and assess whether the Annual Report is fair, balanced and understandable.

•

The final draft of the Annual Report is reviewed by the Audit Committee prior to consideration by the Board.

#### Fair, balanced and understandable

#### assessment continued

Following its review, the Audit Committee

advised the Board that the Annual Report was,

when taken as a whole, considered to be fair,

balancedand understandable and provided

the information necessary for Shareholders

to assess THG’s position and performance,

business modeland strategy.

The Audit Committee was also satisfied that

suitable accounting policies had been adopted,

and appropriate disclosures made, within the

financial statements.

The Viability and Going Concern Statements

are contained on pages 68 and 69 of the

Strategic Report.

Risk management and

#### internalcontrols

While the Board retains ultimate responsibility

for the Group’s risk management systems

and internal control frameworks, responsibility

for their ongoing monitoring and review has

been delegated to the Audit Committee, in

conjunction with the Risk Committee. The

Audit Committee also assists the Board with

its annual review of the effectiveness of these

systems and frameworks and in determining

their adequacy.

The Audit Committee continues to work in

support of the Board’s risk management

strategy. Further information on the Group’s

risk management framework can be found

on pages 60 to 67 of the Strategic Report,

together with details of the processes and

controls which were in place throughout 2025

to manage and mitigate risk and provide the

Board with assurance that sound systems of

risk management and internal controls operate

across the Group.

#### Internal Audit

The Audit Committee is responsible for

reviewing and approving the role and mandate

of the Internal Audit function, while monitoring

and assessing the effectiveness of its work

(including in the overall context of the Group’s

risk management systems).

To ensure the reporting line of the

Internal Audit function is independent of

Managementand suitably positioned to

exercise independent judgement, it has

accessto the Audit Committee, as and when

required, and the Director of Internal Audit

andRisk has a direct reporting line into the

Audit Committee Chair.

When considered necessary or desirable to

do so, the Audit Committee meets with the

Director of Internal Audit and Risk, in the

absence of Senior Management, to discuss the

effectiveness of the function and to consider

the actions taken by Senior Management to

implement its recommendations and support

its workings.

Internal audit plans include a range of financial

and non-financial engagements, delivered in

an assurance or advisory capacity. The internal

audit plan is risk based and due consideration

is given to each of the following areas during

the planning process: principal risks; central

functions; global site audits; and operations

and commerce.

Audit engagements were undertaken in each

of these areas during the 2025 financial year.

The annual internal audit plan is subject to

detailed review by the Audit Committee to

ensure alignment with key business needs;

regular progress updates are provided to the

Audit Committee which oversees and approves

the scope of the plan on a quarterly basis.

Following due and careful consideration of

all relevant factors, the Audit Committee is

satisfied that: (i) the Internal Audit function

isequipped to properly and effectively

discharge its duties and responsibilities in

accordance with the relevant professional

standards for internal auditors; and (ii) the

internal audit plan itself provides appropriate

assurances in respect of the financial and

non-financial controls in place to manage

and mitigate the principal and emerging

risks facing the business (further details on

which can be found on pages 60 to 67 of the

StrategicReport).

#### Independence, performance

andeffectiveness of the

ExternalAuditor

The External Auditor confirmed its

independence and objectivity from THG

during the 2025 financial year. Both the Audit

Committee and the Board are satisfied that

the External Auditor has adequate policies and

safeguards in place to ensure its objectivity

and maintain its independence.

When assessing the independence of

the External Auditor, the Audit Committee

considered, amongst other matters, the value

of fees received by the External Auditor for

non-audit services, the relationship with the

External Auditor as a whole and the annual

disclosure from the External Auditor in respect

of threats to its independence and the

safeguards applied to mitigate such threats.

In overseeing the External Auditor relationship,

the Audit Committee is responsible for making

formal recommendations to the Board on the

External Auditor’s appointment, reappointment

and removal and, in this regard, seeks views

from Senior Management on the quality and

effectiveness of the external audit process.

The effectiveness of the Lead Partner and the

External Auditor’s team, and their approach

to audits, including planning and execution,

communication, support and value, were

assessed and discussed, and consideration

was given to whether the External Auditor had

achieved the agreed audit plan or otherwise

explained the reasons for any departures from

it, including any changes in perceived audit

risks and the work undertaken by the External

Auditor to address those risks.

The content of the External Auditor’s Board

report was also reviewed and monitored,

together with other communications with

the Audit Committee, in order to assess

whether there was a good understanding

of THG’s business and establish whether

recommendations had been acted upon and,

ifnot, the reasons for this.

As part of the External Auditor assessment,

the Audit Committee considered whether the

External Auditor had exercised professional

scepticism and an appropriate degree of

challenge to Senior Management, particularly

on key accounting and audit judgements.

Additional feedback was sought from various

participants in the process, including the

CEO, the CFO and the Independent Chair,

butprimarily from the Audit Committee itself.

Overall, the effectiveness of the external

audit process was assessed as performing as

expected. The Audit Committee concluded that

it was satisfied with the work undertaken by

the External Auditor, including adequate levels

of challenge, during 2025.

There are independent reporting lines from the

External Auditor to the Audit Committee and

the External Auditor is afforded the opportunity

for sessions with the Committee throughout

every financial year.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for

considering and approving: the terms of

engagement with, and remuneration of, the

External Auditor, in respect of both audit and

non-audit services; and, as appropriate, the

removal of the External Auditor.

A resolution proposing the reappointment

of EY was approved by Shareholders at the

2025 AGM. When considering whether to

recommend the reappointment of the External

Auditor, the Audit Committee considers a

range of factors, including the effectiveness

of the external audit, the period since the last

audit tender was conducted and the ongoing

independence and objectivity of the External

Auditor.

The External Auditor has been appointed since

the 2011 reporting period (to the date of this

Annual Report), and the Lead Partner, Karl

Havers, has been in post since the start of the

audit for the 2021 financial year. This being so,

financial year ending 31 December 2025 is the

final year that Karl Havers can be appointed

and the Company is in discussions with EY to

ensure a smooth transition to an appropriate

successor.

While the Audit Committee is aware that

the initial engagement period for a statutory

auditor should not exceed ten years, the

Company tenure is counted from 1 January

2021 i.e. the first accounting period audited

following Admission. The Audit Committee

considers that it would be appropriate to

conduct an external audit tender by no later

than 2030.

The Statutory Audit Services for Large

Companies Market Investigation (Mandatory

Use of Competitive Tender Processes and

Audit Committee Responsibilities) Order 2014

(the “Order”) applies to companies from the

date on which they enter the FTSE 100 or

FTSE 250 Index.

The Company became a constituent of

the FTSE 250 Index on 21 March 2025.

Accordingly, this Report includes, for the first

time, the Company’s statement of compliance

with the provisions of the Order for the

financial year.

The Audit Committee confirms that, for the

financial year ended 31 December 2025, the

Company has complied with all applicable

provisions of the Order, including those

relating to the mandatory use of competitive

tender processes for the external audit and

the responsibilities of the Audit Committee

in overseeing the External Auditor and

safeguarding auditor independence.

Fees payable to the

ExternalAuditor

The Audit Committee has reviewed and

approved a policy regarding non-audit work

and fees, in relation to which please see note

5 to the Group’s financial statements.

In order to ensure that the provision of

non-audit services does not impair the

External Auditor’s independence or objectivity,

this policy requires that the Audit Committee

pre-authorises any non-audit work proposed

to be undertaken by the External Auditor or,

ifrequired urgently between Audit Committee

meetings, the Audit Committee Chair is

empowered to provide such authorisation.

There are certain services which cannot be

provided by the External Auditor, or members

of its network, due to the possibility that

they may compromise its independence; it

is therefore not permissible for the External

Auditor to provide such services. Non-audit

services prohibited under independence

requirements will not be authorised.

The only non-audit services performed during

the 2025 financial year related to the interim

review procedures. The total fees were £0.1m,

being a 1:17 ratio to the audit fees. As it is

widely accepted that such procedures will

be completed by a group’s auditor, the Audit

Committee concluded that the objectivity and

independence of the External Auditor would be

safeguarded.

#### Focus for 2026

During the current financial year, the

AuditCommittee will continue to:

•

oversee both the internal controls

and governance framework within

THG to ensure its continued evolution,

effectiveness and integrity;

•

review Senior Management’s regular

updates of the control framework following

Code Provision 29 taking effect from

1January 2026;

•

oversee the use of technology to enhance

the operation of controls and harness

potential opportunities to digitalise and

automate controls as the framework

matures further; and

•

ensure the provision of relevant training,

development and support to all Directors

and the Executive Leadership Team,

particularly with respect to applicable

newlegislation, regulation and guidance.

Terms of Reference:

Further information on the requirements

relating to the composition and

meetingsof the Nomination

Committee, together with its duties and

responsibilities, can be found within its

Terms of Reference which are available

on the Company’s website at:

https://fcdn.thg-corporate.com/thg/

Nomination\_Committee\_Terms\_of\_

Reference\_2f3554b86b.pdf.

The Terms of Reference were considered

by the Board in December 2024 and

updated to reflect the provisions of

the new Code and the associated

FRC Guidance. The updated Terms of

Reference took effect on 1 January2025.

I am pleased to present the Nomination

Committee Report for the 2025 financial year

and update you on the Committee’s principal

areas of focus during the period.

As we indicated in last year’s Report, the

ongoing monitoring of Board composition

was expected to remain a key priority

throughout 2025, particularly in light of the

demerger of THG Ingenuity at the start of the

year. While mindful that future membership

enhancements should continue to reflect

the Group’s broader EDI vision and the FCA’s

diversity targets, the Committee has sought to

ensure that, supported by a robust and diverse

succession pipeline, the necessary executive

and non-executive leadership expertise is

in place to guide THG’s strategic direction

oftravel.

Pleasingly, significant progress was made

in this regard and, following John Gallemore

resigning from the Board and as COO with

effect from completion of the demerger

on 2January 2025, we were delighted to

announce the appointment of independent NED

Milyae Park with effect from 28 January 2025.

This appointment was in alignment with my

stated mandate to enhance Board composition

by improving independence and diversity and

followed a rigorous recruitment process which

commenced in 2024 (as considered further in

the ‘Board composition’ section which follows).

As I stated in last year’s Nomination

Committee Report, Milyae is regarded as a

key addition to our leadership team, bringing

extensive customer, commercial, digital

and sustainability expertise to her position

and a wealth of strategic and international

capabilities gained from leadership and

advisory roles in numerous countries.

Upon making this appointment the Company

achieved full compliance with the FCA’s board

diversity targets, further information on which

can be found in the ‘Equity, diversity and

inclusion’ section which follows.

#### Role and activities

The Nomination Committee has an important

role within the Group’s governance

infrastructure and, to ensure it is well placed

to execute its principal functions, its Terms

of Reference incorporate salient elements

of the Code, including with respect to Board

appointments and orderly succession planning.

Throughout 2025 the Nomination Committee

considered and discharged, as appropriate,

its mandated duties and responsibilities. As

discussed in further detail in this Report, this

included the ongoing review of the structure,

size and composition (including the skills,

knowledge, experience and diversity) of the

Board and monitoring the Group’s leadership

needs to ensure that the requisite skills and

expertise existed to oversee the successful

execution of THG’s strategic aims and

objectives.

To allow it to do so effectively, and in

accordance with its Terms of Reference,

the Committee (and the wider Board) was

kept fully informed of all key strategic and

commercial issues affecting the Group and

the markets within which it operates. This was

achieved through a variety of means such as

the inclusion of strategic and market updates

within Board packs, the regular deep-dive

sessions which took place at scheduled

monthly Board meetings and in-person

and online broker and adviser ‘teach-ins’ at

appropriate times in the annual reporting cycle.

#### Board composition

As detailed in the 2024 Annual Report, the

search to identify suitable candidates to

enhance the composition and diversity of

the Board remained an ongoing focus of the

Nomination Committee during 2024 and

into 2025, having regard to, amongst other

matters, the FCA’s diversity targets. The

Company engaged Audeliss, an international

search firm which specialises in diversity and

championing change from leadership level,

to support the Nomination Committee in this

exercise. Audeliss has no connection with the

Company or individual Directors.

“ The Nomination Committee continues to closely monitor

Board composition to ensure that the necessary skills,

expertise and diversity exist within the Company’s

leadership to support THG’s strategic direction of travel

and, in turn, oversee the successful delivery of long-term,

sustainable value for stakeholders.”

The parameters of the search reflected previous recruitment briefs which acknowledged the importance of promoting diverse and inclusive

Board membership but which also sought to identify suitably skilled and experienced candidates who could be considered the ‘right THG fit’.

In considering potential Board appointments, and as previously disclosed, the Company seeks to identify individuals who can thrive within a

fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture; who possess the necessary skill sets to oversee the successful delivery of the Group’s strategy and also

the broader knowledge and competencies expected of experienced plc directors; and who, more generally, can effectively support and steer

theCompany’s ongoing plc evolution.

As required under the updated Code Principle J, Board appointments and succession plans are based on merit and considered against objective

criteria, with due regard to the promotion of diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity. Following a robust recruitment process – further information

on which can be found in the 2024 Annual Report – and extensive deliberations around, for example, desired experience and skill sets and cultural

alignment, the Nomination Committee agreed that Milyae Park be recommended to the Board for appointment as an independent NED. The Board

thereafter approved Milyae Park’s appointment with effect from 28 January 2025.

As required under its Terms of Reference, the Nomination Committee discussed overall Board composition and the performance of individual

Directors in advance of the 2025 AGM. Following due consideration, the Committee recommended that all Directors be put forward for annual

election or re-election (as appropriate) by Shareholders. This recommendation was subsequently approved by the Board.

Accordingly, current Board composition, together with a summary of the principal responsibilities of Board members and the Company Secretary,

isas follows:

•

Provides leadership to the Board

•

Facilitates constructive Board relations and the effective

contribution of all NEDs

•

Chairs Board meetings and promotes a culture of openness

anddebate

•

Ensures effective and ongoing communication with Shareholders

and other stakeholders

#### Governance

#### Role and activities continued

#### Board composition continued

The following matrix sets out the key competencies of individual Board members:

#### Nomination Committee Report continued

The Nomination Committee will continue to

monitor the Company’s leadership during

2026 to ensure that it is properly constituted

to support and drive delivery of the Group’s

strategy.

Acknowledging the benefits which diverse

membership may bring to Board discussions

and effectiveness, the promotion of diversity

will remain an important consideration in all

Board appointments together with the need to

ensure that the necessary talent exists within

the Group to effectively manage and exploit

the challenges and opportunities which may

arise over the short, medium and long term.

#### Board Committee composition

The Nomination Committee’s Terms of

Reference provide that, in consultation with

the relevant Board Committee Chair, it is

responsible for making recommendations

to the Board in respect of Board Committee

membership. Accordingly, Board Committee

composition also remained subject to ongoing

oversight by the Nomination Committee

during2025.

Following the appropriate deliberations, the

Committee recommended the appointment

of independent NED Milyae Park to the Audit,

Risk and Sustainability Committees. Noting

their experience serving on the equivalent

committees of external companies and strong

track record in promoting sustainability,

diversity, equity and inclusion, the Nomination

Committee considered that Milyae Park’s

knowledge, skills and expertise would

complement the current membership of

theseBoard Committees.

The Board accepted these recommendations

and Milyae Park was appointed as a member

of the Audit Committee and Risk Committee

with effect from 9 July 2025 and as a member

of the Sustainability Committee with effect

from 23 May 2025.

Thereafter, the Nomination Committee

considered it appropriate that, given

SueFarr’sresponsibilities as SID and Related

Party Committee Chair, Milyae Park assume

the position of Sustainability Committee Chair,

replacing Sue Farr who would remain as a

member of the Committee. The Board accepted

these recommendations and the changes to

Sustainability Committee membership took

effect from 26January2026.

The Nomination Committee will continue to

keep Board Committee composition under

review during 2026, having regard to, amongst

other matters, the skill sets and experience

of individual NEDs and the time commitment

expected of them.

Current Board Committee membership

can befound within the respective Board

Committee Reports.

#### Board performance review

The Company has conducted formal Board

(including Board Committee) performance

reviews on an annual basis since its Admission.

While the requirement to do so is strictly

applicable only to FTSE 350 companies, the

annual review has always been considered a

key governance tool by which to monitor and,

as appropriate, enhance Board effectiveness

and to ensure that the leadership team is

appropriately constituted to drive delivery of

the Group’s strategy and, in turn, create value

for Shareholders.

Performance reviews have been conducted

via an online digital platform provided by

BoardClic, an independent third-party

board evaluation consultant. The BoardClic

governance platform is a data-driven,

time-efficient tool which makes use of

comprehensive benchmarking resources and

allows an organisation to track compliance,

effectiveness and year-on-year alignment.

As this evidence-based framework provides

a means by which to ensure evaluation

outcomes and objectives are appropriately

addressed and/or monitored, the decision was

taken to continue to utilise this platform for

the 2025 Board (including Board Committee)

review which took place in December 2025

(the “2025 review”).

Positively, the headline outcome for the 2025

review has improved year on year and the

principal themes emerging from the results

align closely with those already prominent on

the Board’s agenda. While these have been

discussed by the Chair and the Company

Secretary and recently presented to the full

Board, the results remain subject to further

interrogation and consideration.

Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity at

the start of 2025 – and as disclosed in the

2024 Annual Report – the need to clearly

articulate the strategy and re-educate the

market on the ‘reshaped’ Group’s investment

proposition was identified as a priority focus

area. While considerable progress was made

in this regard during 2025 – evidenced, for

example, by the Company’s entry into the

FTSE 250 – efforts will continue throughout

2026 to further strengthen investor and

market engagement and understanding and

thereby support Shareholder value creation.

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

![]()

The ongoing development and enhancement

of workplace culture and the employee

journey were identified as key outputs ofthe

2024 review process and were therefore the

subject of detailed consideration during 2025.

While the 2025 review recognises the material

progress achieved in these areas – as outlined

within the ‘Our culture’ section of the Strategic

Report and the ‘Workforce engagement’

section of the Corporate Governance Report

– it also acknowledges thatthe initiatives

launched to date will requiretime to fully

embed and gain consistent traction across the

Group. As such, these matters will remain core

priorities for the Board and the People team

during 2026.

Related to this, succession planning was

identified within the 2025 review as a

further area requiring continued focus.

The Nomination Committee remains fully

cognisant of its responsibilities in this regard

and considers succession planning on an

ongoing basis throughout each financial year,

supported – as appropriate – by the Chief

PeopleOfficer.

The Committee remains mindful of the need to

maintain robust arrangements for both Board

and Senior Management positions, ensuring

the Group is suitably positioned to respond

to potential leadership requirements. While

a strong culture of meritocracy exists within

THG, with colleagues encouraged to ‘step up’,

the Company will continue to make strategic

external hires where necessary to ensure

the optimal balance of skills, experience

andknowledge.

Broader workforce development and

succession-related matters were considered

as part of the People, Culture and Succession

deep dive which took place at the April

2025 Board meeting. The Company’s job

architecture programme – currently being

implemented on a phased basis – was

highlighted as a key component of the

broaderemployee strategy in addressing

these matters.

The programme is expected to provide

enhanced organisational and operational

clarity; support managers in fostering a

performance-led culture that identifies and

promotes top talent; and deliver wider benefits

from a development and succession planning

perspective. These benefits include improved

confidence in career pathways for employees;

enhanced data-driven decision-making in

relation to strategic workforce planning;

clearer identification of critical skills gaps; and

strengthened organisational resilience through

an improved ability to attract, retain and

develop high-quality talent.

Finally, the timing and content of monthly

Board packs emerged as a follow-on theme

from the 2024 review and, pleasingly, the

significant improvements implemented during

the reporting period are reflected in the 2025

review results.

Nonetheless, it is recognised that Board

materials must continue to evolve to achieve

an appropriate balance between information

on key strategic priorities and financial or other

operational data. Further enhancements are

also required to the distribution process to

ensure that Directors have adequate time to

prepare for Board meetings.

#### Equity, diversity and inclusion

As previously detailed, the promotion of

diversity is an important consideration in all

Board appointments and the Nomination

Committee recognises the value which a

diverse Board may bring.

Diversity of membership is believed to promote

more fulsome and enriched boardroom

discussions – due to broader perspectives and

insights; this, in turn, may promote enhanced

decision-making and improved corporate

governance and, ultimately, serve tooptimise

the effectiveness of the Board.

More generally, the Nomination Committee

is fully aligned with, and commends, the

Company’s commitment to provide a diverse,

inclusive and representative workplace

throughout the employment life cycle

and ensure that colleagues feel valued

and included, irrespective of background,

personal characteristics, experience, skills

ormotivations.

This commitment is captured within the

Company’s EDI Policy, which was launched

during 2025 and which details the behaviours

expected of all colleagues in support of this

commitment.

Indeed, EDI remained a key focus area for

the People team during the year and various

Group-wide EDI initiatives were launched and

implemented throughout the organisation.

One such initiative was the #CountMeIn survey

which sought to establish an accurate view

of the makeup and diversity demographics of

the workforce following the demerger of THG

Ingenuity. The output from this exercise has

allowed data-driven and informed decisions to

be made which promote equity and inclusion

and which support the introduction of targeted

initiatives for underrepresented colleagues.

The Group’s Employee Networks are

considered instrumental in driving positive

change and engagement from an EDI

perspective; created and championed by

employees, they aim to promote connection

and collaboration throughout THG. Their output

actively contributes to THG’s evolving culture

and is used to inform People strategies and

ensure that diverse voices are part of the

conversation at every level of the business.

In response to employee feedback, the

existing Employee Networks were reviewed

during the year and a mix of new Networks

and refreshed versions of the existing

Networks were launched in H2 2025 (as

discussed further within the ‘Section 172

Statement: Stakeholder Engagement’ section

of the Strategic Report). All Networks now

have dedicated Senior Sponsors who, in

conjunction with their Executive Advocates

– as appointed to support the Networks and

their Senior Sponsors - are responsible for

driving strategic change and championing the

EDI agenda across the Group.

The Executive Advocates – including the Chief

People Officer who has ultimate oversight of

general workforce diversity – are members

of Senior Management and, as such, attend

the scheduled monthly Board meetings. This

framework ensures that the Nomination

Committee (and the Board collectively)

remains fully informed of all material EDI

– and broader People – matters, enabling

it to effectively discharge its associated

responsibilities.

As previously detailed, the parameters of the

recruitment search for suitable independent

NEDs took into account the importance

of promoting diverse and inclusive Board

membership, with specific reference to the

Board diversity disclosures required under

UKLR 6.6.6R(9)(a) that at least 40% of the

individuals on the Board are women and at

least one Board member is from a minority

ethnic background.

Following the appointment of Milyae Park on

28 January 2025, the Company achieved full

compliance with these diversity targets i.e.

from 28January 2025, at least 40% of the

individuals on the Board have been women,

awoman has held one of the senior positions

on the Board andat least one Board member

has been from a minority ethnic background.

This remains the position as at the date of this

Nomination Committee Report.

#### AGM

The Nomination Committee is scheduled to convene ahead of the forthcoming AGM, to review overall Board composition and, pursuant to its Terms

of Reference, the continuation (or otherwise) of individual Directors, with reference to their performance and ability to contribute to the Board in

lightof the knowledge, skills and experience required.

Following due and careful consideration of all relevant factors, including (but not limited to) the time committed to discharge the responsibilities

incumbent upon them as Directors, the Committee will make its recommendations as to whether Directors should be put forward for re-election

byShareholders.

#### Related Party Committee Report

“ Protecting Shareholder value remains the primary

objective of the Related Party Committee. Reflecting

this, the Committee increased its focus on its oversight

responsibilities during 2025, particularly in light of THG

Ingenuity being classified as a related party following

thedemerger at the start of the year.”

#### Sue Farr

Chair of the Related Party Committee

Welcome to the Related Party Committee’s Report for the 2025 financial year. The Committee was

established to oversee and, where appropriate, approve Related Party Transactions, ensuring that

any actual or potential conflicts of interest arising from such arrangements are subject to robust

challenge and evaluation.

The Committee recognises its key role within THG’s governance framework and throughout 2025

remained committed to the principles of good corporate governance, and the spirit of the Code

more generally, in its consideration of Related Party Transactions.

Our primary objective continues to be the preservation of Shareholder value and we remain

confident that the governance arrangements in place provide for the rigorous oversight of all

Related Party Transactions. The Committee met five times during the year, reflecting its strong

commitment in this regard.

Prior to Admission, THG divested the Propco Group to a company which is wholly owned and

controlled by Matthew Moulding, the CEO and a major Shareholder. As the Propco Group owns

property assets which are occupied and utilised by the Group, the divestment was overseen, and

approved, by the independent NEDs in office at that time to ensure the Propco Transaction took

place on an arm’s length basis and conflicts of interest arising from the Propco Transaction were

appropriately managed and resolved. The lease arrangements which operated between the Propco

Group and THG prior to the Propco Transaction were unchanged by the divestment.

Following completion of the demerger of THG Ingenuity, and in accordance with the updated

Terms of Reference which took effect on 1 January 2025, the arrangements between THG and

THG Ingenuity were subject to review and, as considered appropriate, approval by the Committee

during2025.

#### Role and activities

The principal function of the Related Party Committee is to oversee and, where appropriate, approve

the terms of any Related Party Transaction, ensuring that such arrangements are fair, reasonable

and in the best interests of the Group (including from the perspective of the Company and its

Shareholders). In making this assessment, the Committee must ensure that any Related Party

Transaction is conducted on standard commercial terms and on an arm’s length basis.

As a general rule, a Related Party Transaction may not be authorised or implemented by the Board

unless it has been positively recommended by the Related Party Committee. However, the Terms

of Reference include a carve-out which provides that, if a transaction is deemed to be in the best

interests of the Company, the Board may resolve that, for certain categories of Related Party

Transactions, the Committee’s views are recommendatory, rather than binding, in nature. No such

action has been taken by the Board historically or during the reporting period under review.

Terms of Reference:

Further information on the requirements relating to the composition and meetingsof the Related Party Committee,

together with its duties and responsibilities, can be found within its Terms of Reference which are available on

the Company’s website at: https://fcdn.thg-corporate.com/thg/Related\_Party\_Committee\_Terms\_of\_

Reference\_8573d4fbfc.pdf.

The Terms of Reference were considered by the Board in December 2024 and, in advance of the Company’s

transfer to the ESCC category of the Official List, updated to adopt the definition of ‘Related Party Transaction’

contained within Chapter 8 of the UKLRs. Theupdated Terms of Reference took effect on1 January 2025.

#### Governance

#### Role and activities continued

In addition to its ongoing oversight and

approval, where appropriate, of Related Party

Transactions, the Related Party Committee

considered a number of other matters

during the 2025 financial year, including

thefollowing:

#### Propco Group

Capital expenditure incurred by THG on

properties leased from the Propco Group is

reviewed on a regular basis, with specific

reference to the rationale for the spend

incurred and the nature of the works

completed, to ensure it is appropriate for a

commercial tenant. The Committee concluded

that the nature of the works and level of spend

were appropriate for a commercial tenant.

The Committee regularly reviews the

provisions recognised by the Group in respect

of its dilapidations liabilities for properties

leased from the Propco Group. During the

year, three properties leased from the Propco

Group reached the end of their lease terms;

accordingly, the leases were exited by the

Group. Following review of a dilapidations

assessment conducted by a third-party

property expert, the Committee approved the

final dilapidations position for each of these

three properties. The Committee concluded

that the remaining provision was appropriate.

Rent reviews, as set out in the arm’s length

lease agreements, were also reviewed and

approved by the Committee ahead of adoption.

#### THG Ingenuity

Following the demerger, THG Ingenuity has

been designated as a related party. During

the year, the Committee was provided with a

comprehensive overview of the arrangements

in place and reviewed the charges for services

compared to forecast, alongside the controls,

to ensure both parties were complying with

their respective contractual obligations. As

expected, the completion accounts were

finalised following the transaction and the

Committee reviewed and approved the final

settlement.

#### Other items

The Committee approved the details of the

Group’s charitable donation to The Moulding

Foundation. The charitable donation is paid by

the Group in lieu of Matthew Moulding waiving

as much of his annual salary as is legally

permissible.

The related party disclosures within the

consolidated financial statements of this

Annual Report were reviewed and approved

bythe Related Party Committee.

#### Risk Committee Report

Terms of Reference:

Further information on the requirements relating to the composition and meetingsof

the Risk Committee, together with its duties and responsibilities, can be found within its

Terms of Reference which are available on the Company’s website at: https://fcdn.thg-

corporate.com/thg/Risk\_Committee\_Terms\_of\_Reference\_f9ad98c203.pdf.

The Terms of Reference were considered by the Board in December 2024 and updated

to reflect the provisions of the new Code and the associated FRC Guidance. The updated

Terms of Reference took effect on 1 January2025.

“ The Risk Committee’s oversight of the Group’s evolving

risk and internal control framework remained crucial

throughout 2025. Key focus areas included navigating

the ongoing post-demerger landscape and advancing

our preparationsto ensure the Group’s readiness forthe

updated Code Provision 29 requirements taking effect at

the start of 2026.”

#### Gillian Kent

Chair of the Risk Committee

As Chair of the Risk Committee, I welcome you to the Risk Committee Report for 2025. During

the year the Risk Committee continued to deliver against its Terms of Reference and ensure the

continued effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control frameworks.

As noted in last year’s Report, the Committee plays a critical oversight role, particularly in light of

the challenges posed by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, the ongoing

evolution of the risk management framework following the demerger of THG Ingenuity and the

updates to Code Provision 29 which took effect at the start of 2026.

Membership of the Committee was reviewed during the year and it was considered appropriate

to enhance the Committee’s skills and experience through the appointment of Milyae Park as a

member in July 2025.

#### Role and activities

The duties and responsibilities of the Risk Committee are set out within its Terms of Reference,

which confirm that its purpose is to:

•

review and monitor: the principal risks, and identify emerging risks, facing the Group; the

likelihood and impact of such risks materialising; and the way in which such risks are

managed and mitigated (including the definition and execution of a risk management strategy

and associated policies);

•

assist the Board in its oversight of risk and advise on the Group’s overall risk appetite,

tolerance and strategy and the principal and emerging risks which the Group may be willing

to accept to achieve its long-term strategic objectives; and

•

monitor and maintain the robustness of the Group’s risk management framework, policies and

procedures and evaluate their adequacy against the Board’s risk strategy and appetite.

In fulfilling its role, the Committee liaises, as appropriate, with other Board Committees,

particularly in relation to the responsibilities it shares with the Audit Committee concerning risk

management and internal controls. The Director of Internal Audit and Risk has open and direct

access to the Risk Committee on an ongoing basis, an arrangement regarded as essential

to ensuring the independence of the Director of Internal Audit and Risk reporting line from

Management.

#### Governance

#### Role and activities continued

In addition to the Risk Committee meetings

detailed in the table overleaf, one-to-one

meetings were held between the Director

of Internal Audit and Risk and the Risk

Committee Chair to discuss the continued

development and embedding of the Group’s

risk management systems and internal control

frameworks.

Furthermore, the Risk Committee Chair,

together with other Committee members (to

the extent considered appropriate), maintained

ongoing dialogue with key individuals involved

in the oversight of Group governance, including

the Independent Chair. This ensured the

necessary intra-function transparency and

alignment throughout 2025 and in the period

up to the date of this Risk Committee Report.

A summary of the key activities undertaken by

the Risk Committee during 2025 is as follows:

•

oversight of the management, reporting

and evolution of principal and operational

risks within the Group and application of

risk appetite, together with the outcome of

principal risk deep dives;

•

monitoring the identification and

quantification of emerging risks within

theGroup;

•

remaining apprised of progress in relation

to Code Provision 29 workstreams and the

associated disclosure requirements at the

relevant time;

•

understanding relevant priorities, as

applicable to the Group’s risk landscape

and risk management framework;

•

reviewing the results and remedial

actions arising from the annual Fraud Risk

Assessment, together with any summary

reports of escalated incidents and

instances of fraud; and

•

consideration of the role of THG Insurance

in supporting risk mitigation activities.

Risk management and

#### internal controls

In accordance with the 2024 Code, ultimate

responsibility for the Group’s systems

of internal control and risk management

framework rests with the Board. However,

pursuant to the provisions of the Code

and as reflected in its Terms of Reference,

responsibility for the ongoing monitoring

and review of the Group’s risk management

systems and internal control frameworks –

including financial, operational and compliance

controls – has been delegated to the Risk

Committee, in conjunction with the Audit

Committee.

Further information on the Group’s risk

management systems can be found on pages

60 to 67 of the Strategic Report, along with

details of the processes and controls which

were in place throughout 2025 to manage

and mitigate risk and provide the Board with

the assurance that sound systems of risk

management and internal controls operate

across the Group.

The Viability Statement is contained on pages

68 and 69 of the Strategic Report.

#### Focus for 2026

During the current financial year it is

anticipated that key areas of focus for the Risk

Committee will continue to be as follows:

•

oversight of the risk management

framework, risk appetite and emerging

risk processes within THG to ensure their

continued evolution, effectiveness and

integrity and the ongoing development of

the Risk function as the Group continues

togrow and mature; and

•

remaining updated on the Company’s

response to changes to Code Provision 29.

#### Sustainability Committee Report

“ Throughout 2025, THG sharpened its sustainability focus,

ensuring efforts were directed towards achieving real,

measurable progress across key sustainability priorities.

The Sustainability Committee remains steadfast in its

commitment to drive meaningful improvements year on

year, challenging the Group to further embed and enhance

sustainable practices.”

#### Milyae Park

Chair of the Sustainability Committee

As the recently appointed Sustainability Committee Chair, I am delighted to present our Report

for the financial year ended 31December 2025. At the outset, I would like to express my sincere

thanks to Sue Farr for her able leadership of the Committee prior to my appointment; I am

pleased that Sue remains a valued member of the Committee.

2025 marked a year of significant change for THG, with the demerger of THG Ingenuity

prompting a refocus of our sustainability priorities. We pivoted to concentrate on the areas most

important to the remaining Group and this approach was validated through the completion of

the Double Materiality Assessment (“DMA”), further details of which can be found within the

Sustainability Report on page 43.

Progress was made across key areas of THG’s Sustainability Strategy, including the recalculation

and rebaselining of the Group’s GHG data following the demerger and the launch of THG’s EDI

Policy and associated colleague engagement campaigns to enhance people data collation.

#### Role and activities

The Sustainability Committee’s primary responsibility is to ensure that robust strategies,

policies and operational controls are in place and effectively maintained across THG, supporting

the Group in operating its business in a responsible and sustainable manner. This includes

monitoring performance against THG’s Sustainability Strategy and applicable ESG targets.

In addition to reporting any material sustainability-related risks – identified and managed through

the Group’s risk management process – to the Risk Committee, the Sustainability Committee’s

duties include reviewing and monitoring:

•

Senior Management’s assessment of the health, safety, security, environmental and social

impacts arising from the Group’s operations, with particular regard to employees, suppliers,

contractors and host communities;

•

the Group’s systems for compliance with applicable sustainability-related legal and regulatory

requirements and its performance against such requirements; and

•

the Group’s systems, strategies, policies and targets in relation to, amongst other matters,

emissions, energy and carbon management, climate change, waste and recycling, ensuring

that they reflect best practice and global developments.

In discharging such duties the Sustainability Committee may seek independent professional

advice on any matter it deems necessary and may access other resources required to function

effectively, including support and assistance from Group Secretariat.

Terms of Reference:

Further information on the requirements relating to the composition and meetingsof

the Sustainability Committee, together with its duties and responsibilities, can be

The Terms of Reference were considered by the Board in December 2024 and updated to

reflect the provisions of the FRC Guidance. Theupdated Terms of Reference took effect

I am delighted to introduce the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the 2025 reporting period.

Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity, the Group’s business model continued to evolve during

the year and, pleasingly, we achieved total revenue growth of 2.3% on a continuing constant

currency basis and further strengthened our balance sheet, closing the year with over £330m

of cash and available facilities. It is within this context that we operated our Remuneration Policy

throughout 2025.

Our assessment of Executive Director and wider workforce remuneration was also informed

by the regular updates the Committee received throughout the year on evolving remuneration

trends and market practice, alongside updated guidelines from key investor and shareholder

representative bodies.

This Directors’ Remuneration Report has been prepared in accordance with The Large and

Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (as amended)

(the “Regulations”), the UK Listing Rules and the Code. It is divided into the following sections:

•

this annual statement from me, as Remuneration Committee Chair;

•

the Remuneration Policy, as approved by Shareholders at the 2024 AGM; and

•

the Annual Report on Remuneration, which details payments made to Directors during 2025

and which is subject to an advisory Shareholder vote at the forthcoming AGM.

#### Role and responsibilities

As detailed within its Terms of Reference, a primary responsibility of the Remuneration

Committee is to determine the remuneration packages of Executive Directors and the

Independent Chair. More broadly, the Committee is responsible for ensuring that remuneration

practices and policies support the Group’s strategy and promote itslong-term, sustainable

success.

Other key duties of the Committee include:

•

approving the design of, and determining targets for, any performance-related pay schemes

operated by the Company and authorising payments under those schemes;

•

exercising discretion, where appropriate, to override formulaic remuneration outcomes;

•

reviewing the ongoing appropriateness and relevance of the Remuneration Policy (further

details on which follow) and the approach to its implementation – considering pay policies

and practices across the wider workforce and the meritocratic and values-led culture within

the organisation – while consulting with, and seeking approval from, Shareholders and other

stakeholders as appropriate; and

“ Following the demerger of THG Ingenuity at the start

of 2025, the Remuneration Committee has continued

to focus on ensuring that the Group’s remuneration

framework operates in a manner which is fair and

motivating for Executive Directors, while aligning with

THG’s broader strategy to maximise Shareholder value.”

#### Directors’ Remuneration Report cont inued

#### Role and responsibilities continued

•

reviewing, and having regard to, pay

and employment conditions across the

Company and/or Group as a whole,

particularly when determining annual salary

increases.

#### Remuneration Policy

The current Remuneration Policy, which

has a three-year term, was approved by

Shareholders at the 2024 AGM.

The Committee acknowledges that the

Remuneration Policy is due for Shareholder

approval at the 2027 annual general meeting.

In the intervening period, the Committee has

commenced its review of the effectiveness of

the current Remuneration Policy and intends

to proactively engage with Shareholders at the

appropriate time as it develops its proposals

for a refreshed Remuneration Policy.

#### 2025 remuneration

No salary increases were awarded to the

Executive Directors during the 2025 financial

year and, as was the case in financial years

2021 to 2024, Matthew Moulding waived

as much as was legally permissible of his

base salary in return for the Group making

acharitable donation of similar value.

The Remuneration Committee operated the

Remuneration Policy as intended during 2025.

It should be noted that the Executive Directors

opted to waive their entitlement to participate

in the 2025 annual bonus plan.

No LTIP grants were made during 2025 while

a broader review of the operation of incentives

across the business is conducted. While this

review is ongoing, it is expected that we will

make a delayed 2025 LTIP award to Damian

Sanders following the upcoming AGM, at

which time a 2026 LTIP award is also expected

to be made in line with the usual schedule.

Both awards will be made in line with the

approved Remuneration Policy and will be

subject to stretching financial and strategic

performance targets which will be disclosed

atthe time of grant and measured over a

three-year period, with a further two-year

post-vesting holding period applying in line

with the relevant Code requirement and

market best practice.

No other discretion was exercised by the

Remuneration Committee during the 2025

financial year in respect of the above

remuneration outcomes, and no Director was

involved in deciding their own remuneration

outcome.

#### Remuneration for 2026

The Remuneration Committee intends to

implement the Remuneration Policy for

Matthew Moulding and Damian Sanders

during 2026 as follows:

#### Base salary

While the Remuneration Committee initially

proposed a salary increase for the Executive

Directors in line with the wider workforce, the

Executive Directors informed the Committee

that they would forego any proposed salary

increase for 2026 (as has been the case each

year since 2021).

#### Annual bonus

In line with the Remuneration Policy, annual

bonus awards will be granted with a maximum

opportunity of 100% of base salary for each of

the Executive Directors.

The measures and weightings for the 2026

bonus awards for Matthew Moulding and

Damian Sanders will be:

•

Free Cash Flow (50%);

•

Adjusted EBITDA (25%); and

•

Group Sales (25%).

#### LTI P

As outlined above, we expect to make LTIP

grants to the CFO in respect of the 2025 and

2026 financial years following the upcoming

AGM. As stated in the Remuneration Policy,

Matthew Moulding is not eligible to participate

in the LTIP.

Consideration of

#### stakeholderviews

Prior to its annual review of Executive

Directors’ remuneration, the Remuneration

Committee considers pay, benefits and share

scheme practices across the Group.

While no direct workforce engagement took

place on Executive Director remuneration

specifically during the reporting period, the

implementation of an LTIP for Executive

Directors is aligned with the wider business

approach, which includes broad equity-based

incentive plans.

The Group remains committed to promoting

and maintaining positive relations with

employees and, where relevant, their

representative bodies as part of its broader

workforce engagement strategy. Following

the demerger of THG Ingenuity, 2025 was

viewed as an opportunity to reset engagement

goals for the reshaped Group; engagement

measures, and the People proposition more

generally, were therefore developed and

enhanced as considered appropriate.

Priority focus areas included: progressing the

job architecture programme to provide greater

organisational clarity, build trust across the

workforce and ensure a consistent approach

to reward; and reviewing the Employee

Value Proposition, encompassing a wide

range of benefits from reward to health and

wellbeing, to ensure it remained appropriate

and positioned the Group competitively within

themarket.

Further information on workforce engagement

measures and progress made during the

year can be found within the ‘Workforce

engagement’ section of the Corporate

Governance Report.

#### AGM

I very much look forward to meeting with

Shareholders at the forthcoming AGM to

discuss any queries or comments on this

Directors’ Remuneration Report, the current

Remuneration Policy or on Group remuneration

matters more generally.

If Shareholders have any concerns or

questions that they would like to discuss

prior to the AGM, I can be contacted via the

Company Secretary.

#### Remuneration Policy table

As previously detailed, the current Remuneration Policy was approved by Shareholders at the 2024 AGM, with 94.97% of votes cast in favour.

Thefollowing table provides a summary of each element of the Remuneration Policy to assist with the understanding of this Directors’

Remuneration Report. Full details of the Remuneration Policy can be found on pages 147 to 156 of the 2023 Annual Report.

Component

and objective  Operation Opportunity  Performance measures

Base salary

To enable the Group

to attract, motivate

and retain the people

it needs to maximise

the value of the

business

Generally reviewed each year, with increases

effective 1 January.

Salary levels take account of:

•

salaries at FTSE companies of broadly similar size

or sector to THG;

•

salary increases across the rest of the UK

business;

•

role, personal performance and experience; and

•

business performance and the external

environment.

There is no fixed maximum.

Salaries in respect of the year under

review (and for the following year)

are disclosed in the Annual Report

onRemuneration.

Salary increases for Executive

Directors will normally not exceed

those of the wider workforce over

the period this Remuneration Policy

applies. Where increases are awarded

in excess of the wider employee

population, the Remuneration

Committee will provide the rationale

in the relevant year’s Annual Report

on Remuneration (e.g. if there is a

material change in the responsibility,

size or complexity of a role).

n/a

Pension

To provide a level of

retirement benefit

that is competitive in

the relevant market

Executive Directors receive pension contributions

either as a direct payment or a cash allowance.

Base salary is the only element of remuneration that

is pensionable.

Executive Directors receive a

Company contribution of a maximum

in line with the wider workforce for

the relevant country. This is currently

set at 3% of pensionable salary for

UK Executive Directors.

Pensionable salary is determined in

line with the approach taken for the

wider workforce which is currently in

line with auto-enrolment levels.

n/a

Benefits

To provide a level of

benefits that is in line

with relevant market

practice

Executive Directors receive benefits set at

an appropriate level taking into account total

remuneration, market practice, the benefits provided

to other employees in the Group and individual

circumstances. This may include, but is not limited

to, medical insurance benefits, permanent health

insurance and life assurance.

The Remuneration Committee reserves the right

to introduce other benefits (e.g. in the event this is

necessary to attract and/or retain key Executive

Directors).

Other benefits, including all employee share schemes,

may be introduced from time to time to ensure the

benefits package is appropriately competitive and

reflects the needs and circumstances of the Group

and individual Executive Directors.

Benefits may vary by role and the

level is determined each year to

be appropriate for the role and

circumstances of individual Executive

Directors.

While the Remuneration Committee

has not set an absolute maximum

on the level of benefits Executive

Directors may receive, the value of

benefits is set at a level which the

Remuneration Committee considers

to be appropriately positioned taking

into account relevant market levels

based on the nature and location of

the role, the level of benefits provided

for other employees in the Group and

individual circumstances.

The Remuneration Committee retains

the discretion to approve a higher

cost in exceptional circumstances

(e.g. relocation expenses or

an expatriation allowance on

recruitment) or in circumstances

where factors outside the Group’s

control have changed materially (e.g.

market increases in insurance costs).

Component

and objective  Operation Opportunity  Performance measures

Annual bonus

To focus Executive

Directors on

achieving demanding

annual targets

relating to Group

performance

Performance targets are set at the start of each

financial year and aligned with the annual budget

agreed by the Board. At the end of the financial

year in question, the Remuneration Committee

determines the extent to which these targets have

been achieved.

50% of the total bonus payable is normally paid

in cash with 50% deferred in nil-cost options over

Ordinary Shares. These options are exercisable

after three years, subject to continued employment

and malus (in whole or in part) during the deferral

period in the event of a material misstatement in

accounting records, gross misconduct, calculation

error or corporate failure. Cash bonuses may be

subject to clawback over the deferral period in similar

circumstances as identified above.

A payment equivalent to the dividends that would

have accrued on deferred bonus awards that vest

may be made to participants on vesting.

Maximum opportunity: 200% of

base salary (with 50% deferred into

Ordinary Shares vesting after three

years).

Target opportunity: 50% of maximum

opportunity.

Threshold opportunity: at most,

25%of maximum opportunity.

Matthew Moulding will have a

reduced opportunity of 100% of

salary which will be payable fully

incash.

The bonus will be based on the

achievement of financial and

non-financial performance targets which

may vary year-to-year but at least 50%

of the total opportunity will be based on

financial performance.

Details of the measures and weighting

on which the bonus will be based will be

disclosed in the relevant Annual Report

on Remuneration. If the Remuneration

Committee determines certain targets to

be deemed commercially sensitive, the

targets will be disclosed retrospectively.

The Remuneration Committee has

discretion to adjust the formulaic bonus

outcomes (including down to zero) within

the limits of the scheme if the formulaic

outcome is not reflective of underlying

business performance.

LTI P

To incentivise

Executive Directors

while providing

alignment with

Shareholder interests

Awards are granted annually in the form of nil-cost

options or conditional awards of Ordinary Shares.

These will vest at the end of a three-year period

subject to continued employment and satisfaction of

the performance conditions.

A further two-year holding period will apply post

vesting.

The Remuneration Committee may award dividend

equivalents on awards to the extent that these vest.

Malus and clawback provisions will apply to enable

the Company to recover sums paid or withhold

the payment of any sum in the event of a material

misstatement resulting in an adjustment to the

audited consolidated accounts of THG or action

or conduct which, in the reasonable opinion of the

Board, amounts to employee misbehaviour, fraud or

gross misconduct.

Normally annual awards of up to

250% of base salary. In exceptional

circumstances, such as to secure an

external appointment or in specific

retention scenarios, an award of up

to 300% of base salary may be made.

Matthew Moulding will not be eligible

to participate in the LTIP.

The majority of the awards will be based

on financial metrics, with the balance

based on strategic metrics.

The Remuneration Committee retains

discretion, in exceptional circumstances,

to change performance measures and

targets and the weightings attached

to performance measures part way

through a performance period if there is

a significant and material event which

causes the Remuneration Committee to

believe the original measures, weightings

and targets are no longer appropriate.

The Remuneration Committee also has

discretion to adjust the formulaic vesting

outcome (including down to zero) within

the limits of the scheme if the formulaic

outcome is not reflective of underlying

business performance.

Shareholding

requirement

To align Executive

Director and

Shareholder interests

and reinforce

long-term decision-

making, including for

a period following

cessation of

employment

Matthew Moulding is required to retain at least 50%

of any incentive awards that vest (net of tax) until he

has built up a personal holding of Ordinary Shares

worth at least 350% of salary.

All other Executive Directors must build up and

subsequently retain a shareholding of at least 200%

of salary over a five-year period from the date of their

appointment to the Board.

A post-cessation shareholding requirement of 350%

of salary to be held for two years after an Executive

Director’s employment is terminated in the case of

Matthew Moulding, and 200% of salary for all other

Executive Directors (or full actual holding if lower).

Chair and NED fees

To attract and

retain NEDs of the

highest calibre with

broad commercial

experience relevant

to theGroup

NEDs are paid a basic annual fee. Additional fees may

be paid to NEDs who chair a Board Committee and/

or who sit on a Board Committee to reflect additional

responsibilities.

The fees paid to NEDs are determined by the Board

and may be paid in a mix of cash andOrdinary Shares.

Fee levels are reviewed periodically, with any

adjustments effective 1 January. Fees are reviewed

by considering external advice on best practice

and fee levels at other FTSE companies of broadly

similar size and sector to THG. Time commitment

andresponsibility are also considered when

reviewing fees.

Fee increases will be applied

considering the outcome of the

review.

The fees paid to NEDs in respect of

the year under review (and for the

following year) are disclosed in the

1.  Since Admission and subject to minimum statutory limits, Matthew Moulding has elected to waive his salary. The salaries and bonuses detailed here are the

amounts received by Matthew Moulding in the periods. For the 2025 financial year, the salary waived by Matthew Moulding was £726,386. For the 2024 financial

year, the salary waived by Matthew Moulding was £726,972.

2.  With effect from the completion of the demerger of THG Ingenuity on 2 January 2025, John Gallemore resigned from the Board and as COO. John Gallemore’s fixed

The base salaries of the Executive Directors are typically reviewed on an annual basis, with any increases effective from 1 January. As detailed

within the Remuneration Policy summary, when determining any increases the Remuneration Committee compares the Group’s remuneration

packages for its Executive Directors with those of directors in FTSE companies of a similar size and/or sector to THG and also takes account

of salary increases across the rest of the UK business, an individual’s role and personal performance, business performance and the external

environment.

No salary increases were awarded to Executive Directors during the 2025 reporting period. As such, the base salaries for the Executive Directors

were as follows:

•

Matthew Moulding: £750,000;

•

Damian Sanders: £500,000; and

•

John Gallemore: £450,000.

As previously stated, Matthew Moulding waived as much as was legally permissible of his base salary during 2025 in return for the Group making

a charitable donation to The Moulding Foundation of a similar value. For the financial year ending 31 December 2025, the salary waived by

Matthew Moulding was £726,386.

#### Governance

#### Directors’ Remuneration Report cont inued

#### Pension (audited)

As part of their remuneration arrangements, the Executive Directors are entitled to receive pension contributions from the Company. Under these

arrangements, they can elect for those contributions to be paid in the form of taxable pension allowance or direct payments into a personal

pension plan or the Group’s UK defined contribution scheme.

During 2025, £521 and £12 were paid into the personal pension plans of Matthew Moulding and John Gallemore respectively. These amounts

represent 3% of pensionable salary, in line with the UK wider workforce (with the amount for John Gallemore reflecting his service until

2January2025). Executive Directors participate in a Qualifying Earnings scheme where employer contributions are capped at a monthly

threshold,such that the effective contribution rate is less than 3% of salary in practice. Damian Sanders opted out of the Qualifying Earnings

scheme in April2023 (hence he did not receive any pension contributions from the Company during 2025). None of the Executive Directors

participate in a Group defined benefit pension scheme.

#### Benefits (audited)

In line with the current Remuneration Policy, benefits in kind for each of the Executive Directors comprised medical insurance benefits, permanent

health insurance and life assurance.

#### Bonus awards (audited)

The Executive Directors opted to waive their entitlement to participate in the annual bonus plan for the 2025 financial year (as in prior years).

Assuch, no discretion was exercised by the Remuneration Committee during 2025 in respect of the annual bonus plan.

#### Scheme interests awarded (audited)

No awards were made to Directors during the 2025 financial year.

#### Payments to past Directors (audited)

No payments were made to past Directors during the 2025 financial year.

#### Loss of office payments (audited)

John Gallemore stepped down from the Board on 2 January 2025 and received his fixed remuneration until this date. No loss of office payments

were made to John Gallemore, or any other Directors, during the 2025 financial year.

#### External appointments

Damian Sanders is a non-executive director of Victorian Plumbing Group plc. Neither Matthew Moulding nor John Gallemore held any external

non-executive roles during 2025.

owned directly by Matthew Moulding. 103,538,569 of the Ordinary Shares, 81,296,802 of the Deferred 1 Shares, 10,971,090 of the Deferred 2 Shares and all of the

3.  Charles Allen, Gillian Kent, Dean Moore, Sue Farr and Helen Jones hold Ordinary Shares. In consideration of these individual shareholdings and NED independence,

the Board has applied its assessment criteria including, but not limited to, whether a NED has held a material business relationship with the Company in the last

three years. Taking into account assessments of materiality and the 3% notification threshold under the DTRs’ major shareholdings notification regime, the Board

acknowledges that the shareholdings of these NEDs sit significantly below the notification threshold and therefore do not impair their independence.

4.  26,500 of these Ordinary Shares are held by Anthony Mair, Sue Farr’s spouse.

There have been no other changes to Directors’ holdings of Ordinary Shares between 31 December 2025 and the date of this Directors’

Remuneration Report, with the exception of the increase in Matthew Moulding’s equity interest announced on 24 February 2026 in the PDMR/PCA

Shareholding & TR-1 Notification (the “Notification”).

As detailed in the Notification, 24,395,170 Ordinary Shares were purchased by FIC Shareco Limited, a Guernsey-registered corporate entity

wholly owned by Matthew Moulding. As a result and as further detailed within the Notification, Matthew Moulding’s equity interest at the date of

this Directors’ Remuneration Report equates to approximately 25.4% of the Company’s issued share capital on a fully diluted basis, comprising

332,078,116 Ordinary Shares and 122,190,088 unlisted ordinary shares (which figure, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes his Deferred 1 Shares and

Deferred 2 Shares).

#### Directors’ share ownership guidelines (audited)

Matthew Moulding is required to hold Ordinary Shares equal to at least 350% of his base salary, while Damian Sanders is expected to build up a

holding in Ordinary Shares of at least 200% of salary over a five-year period from the date of his appointment to the Board. NEDs are not subject

to any shareholding requirements.

Executive Directors’ share ownership at 31 December 2025 was as follows:

Remuneration Report.

2.  Matthew Moulding’s aggregated shareholding includes all Shares (i.e. Ordinary Shares, D1 Shares, D2 Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares, Deferred 1 Shares and

Deferred 2 Shares) held by Matthew Moulding, his spouse, Jodie Moulding, FIC Shareco Limited, a Guernsey-registered corporate entity wholly owned by Matthew

Moulding, and FIC Shareco Limited, an English-registered corporate entity.

Current shareholdings are based on Shares owned outright and valued using the average Ordinary Share price over the three months ended

31December 2025 i.e. £0.439.

#### Performance graph and table

The following graph shows the TSR (i.e. total shareholder return) performance over the period from Admission to 31 December 2025 relative to the

FTSE 250 Index. It illustrates the performance of a £100 investment in the Company in that period compared with the value of £100 invested in the

FTSE 250 Index over the same period.

The FTSE 250 Index continues to be considered an appropriate comparator for this purpose as it is a broad equity index of which theCompany is

aconstituent.

2.  No LTIP was eligible to vest in respect of each of the 2021 to 2025 financial years and Matthew Moulding does not participate in any ongoing LTIP.

#### Percentage change in Directors’ remuneration

The Executive Directors are the only employees of the Company and therefore the UK workforce has been selected as the appropriate comparator

group to provide a meaningful comparison since this is the geographical location in which all of the Executive Directors, and the majority of NEDs,

are based.

Accordingly, the following table shows the percentage change in the Directors’ salaries, benefits (excluding pension) and annual bonuses between

financial years 2020 to 2021, 2021 to 2022, 2022 to 2023, 2023 to 2024 and 2024 to 2025, compared with the percentage change in the

average of each of these components of pay for all UK employees for each of these periods. The comparison uses a per capita figure.

1.  From Admission and subject to minimum statutory limits, Matthew Moulding has elected to waive his salary and the percentage changes stated above reflect

changes in these statutory limits rather than changes to salary levels. The reduction in the 2021 to 2022 benefits figure relates to Matthew Moulding’s private

security cover which was funded by the Company in 2021 and personally funded from 1 January 2022 onwards. Matthew Moulding waived his entitlement to

participate in the 2025 annual bonus plan, as he did in respect of each of the financial years 2021 to 2024.

2.  During 2021 John Gallemore elected to waive his salary subject to minimum statutory limits. In 2022 John Gallemore elected to waive his salary for the period

1January 2022 to 30 June 2022, and was paid his standard base salary from 1 July 2022 until he resigned from the Board and as COO with effect from completion

of the demerger of THG Ingenuity on 2 January 2025. The increase in the 2021 to 2022 salary/fees figure reflects John Gallemore electing not to waive his salary

for the period 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022. John Gallemore waived his entitlement to participate in the annual bonus plan in respect of each of the financial

years 2021 to 2025.

3.  The percentage increase in the 2022 to 2023 salary/fees figure reflects a change in Damian Sanders’ role during the 2023 financial year. He held the position of

NED during the 2020, 2021 and 2022 financial years and from 1 January 2023 to 23 January 2023, and was appointed CFO on 24 January 2023 (and has held

this position from this date to the date of this Report). It is not possible to show a percentage change for benefits and bonus as Damian Sanders was not eligible to

receive these remuneration elements prior to his appointment as CFO. Damian Sanders waived his entitlement to participate in the 2025 annual bonus plan, as he

did in respect of the 2023 and 2024 financial years.

4.  Charles Allen, Gillian Kent and Dean Moore were not Directors during the 2020 and 2021 financial years. Charles Allen was appointed to the Board on

22March2022 and Gillian Kent and Dean Moore were both appointed on 15 September 2022. Therefore, the percentage change figure disclosed for 2022 to 2023

for: (i) Charles Allen reflects his full year’s service in 2023 in comparison to his part year’s service in 2022 i.e. the figure reflects 12 months’ service in 2023 versus

approximately 9 months’ service in 2022; and (ii) each of Gillian Kent and Dean Moore reflects their full year’s service in 2023 in comparison to their part year’s

service in 2022 i.e. the figures reflect 12 months’ service in 2023 versus approximately 3.5 months’ service in 2022.

5.  NEDs are not entitled to participate in the annual bonus plan.

6.  Sue Farr and Helen Jones were not Directors during financial years 2020 to 2022, being appointed to the Board on 24 April 2023 and 21 June 2023 respectively.

7.  Milyae Park was not a Director during financial years 2020 to 2024, being appointed to the Board on 28 January 2025.

8.  THG PLC is the parent company of the Group and, with the exception of the Executive Directors, does not have any employees. The figures detailed here are

therefore representative of the Group’s UK workforce.

#### Chief Executive Officer’s pay ratio

The following table presents the pay ratio between the Chief Executive Officer’s single total figure of remuneration and that of the Group’s UK

workforce. The ratios compare the Chief Executive Officer’s single total figure of remuneration with the total remuneration of full-time equivalent

UK employees at the 25th, median and 75th percentiles.

2022 Option A 33 1.2:1 1.1:1 0.8:1

2021 Option A 453 21:1 18:1 14:1

The total pay and benefits and salary figures used for the pay ratio calculations are set out in the following table:

Year

25th

percentile Median

75th

percentile

2025 Salary £27,951 £32,432 £45,975

Total pay and benefits £28,496 £33,171 £47,143

The 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile figures used to determine the above ratios were selected by reference to the hourly pay figures

for the Group’s UK workforce on 31 December 2025. Option A, as set out under the Regulations, was used to calculate remuneration for the 2025

financial year as the Company believes this is the most robust methodology for calculating these figures (and reflects the approach adopted

for the preceding four financial years). The full-time equivalent annualised remuneration (comprising salary, benefits, pension, annual bonus and

long-term incentives) was then calculated for those employees for the 2025 financial year.

The ratio continues to remain around 1:1 on a median basis, primarily as a result of Matthew Moulding waiving as much of his base salary as is

legally permissible in return for the Group making a charitable donation of similar value, as well as waiving his entitlement to participate in the

annual bonus plan and not participating in any long-term incentive scheme.

Executive Director pay is, typically, more at risk than wider employee pay due to the use of variable pay which is not guaranteed and hence,

depending on incentive plan outcomes, can lead to a total pay ratio that varies significantly from year to year. Furthermore, the Remuneration

Committee believes that THG’s reward policies are not only aligned with the Group’s shared values and culture but also incentivise and drive the

desired behaviours and ensure all employees are rewarded fairly and competitively for their contribution to the Group’s success. For these reasons,

the Remuneration Committee is satisfied that the median pay ratio is consistent with the Group’s pay, reward and progression policies.

THG PLC is the parent company of the Group and, with the exception of the Executive Directors, does not have any employees. The pay ratio

figures have therefore been calculated with reference to the Group’s UK workforce which the Company considers is the appropriate comparator,

being reflective of the wider policies in operation on employee pay, reward and progression across the vast majority of the Group’s overall

workforce

#### Implementation of Remuneration Policy for the 2026 financial year

The Remuneration Committee proposes to implement the Remuneration Policy for the 2026 financial year as follows:

#### Base salary

Executive Directors have voluntarily waived any salary increase in respect of the 2026 financial year. Therefore, base salaries will remain

asfollows:

•

Matthew Moulding: £750,000; and

•

Damian Sanders: £500,000.

#### Pension

There is no change in the contribution percentage for Executive Directors for the 2026 financial year and it remains at 3% of pensionable

salary.Pensionable salary is determined in line with the approach taken for the Group’s wider workforce, which is currently in line with

auto-enrolment levels.

Matthew Moulding participates in a Qualifying Earnings scheme where employer contributions are capped at a monthly threshold, such that

theeffective contribution rate is less than 3% of salary in practice. None of the Executive Directors participate in a Group defined benefit

pensionscheme.

#### Benefits

There are no proposed changes to the benefits provisions for Executive Directors for the 2026 financial year.

#### Annual bonus

In line with the Remuneration Policy, the maximum opportunity for the 2026 financial year will be:

•

Matthew Moulding: 100% of base salary; and

•

Damian Sanders: 100% of base salary.

The measures and weightings for Matthew Moulding and Damian Sanders for the 2026 financial year will be:

•

Free Cash Flow (50%);

•

Adjusted EBITDA (25%); and

•

Group Sales (25%).

The measures to be assessed are consistent with those adopted for the 2025 financial year, with a reweighting towards Free Cash Flow to align

with the key priorities of the Group.

The specific targets are considered commercially sensitive and will be disclosed in next year’s Annual Report on Remuneration.

#### LTIP award

No LTIP grants were made during 2025 while a broader review of the operation of incentives across the business is conducted. Following the

conclusion of this review, it is expected that the Company will make a delayed 2025 LTIP award to Damian Sanders following the upcoming AGM,

at which time a 2026 LTIP award is also expected to be made in line with the usual schedule. Both awards will be made in line with the approved

Remuneration Policy (i.e. up to 250% of salary opportunity for each award) and will be subject to stretching financial and strategic performance

targets which will be disclosed at the time of grant via a Regulatory News Service announcement and measured over respective three-year

periods, with further two-year post-vesting holding periods applying in line with the relevant Code requirement and market best practice.

#### NED fees

No increases in NED fees are proposed for the 2026 financial year. Accordingly, annual NED fees will remain as follows for 2026:

NED fee type  Fee

Fee for Independent Chair £432,640

Fee for SID £93,600

#### Advisers to the Remuneration Committee

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) remain engaged as the Remuneration Committee’s independent remuneration advisers, having been

appointed prior to Admission by the then Remuneration Committee Chair. PwC is a member of the Remuneration Consultants Group, the

professional body for remuneration consultants, and adheres to its Code of Conduct. The Remuneration Committee is satisfied that the advice

provided by PwC during 2025 was objective and independent and, while separate teams within PwC also advise the Company on matters of tax,

corporate governance and operations, the Remuneration Committee is further satisfied that these activities do not compromise the independence

or objectivity of the advice it receives from PwC as Remuneration Committee advisers.

During 2025 PwC provided general support to the Remuneration Committee and guidance on developments in remuneration governance and best

practice, including associated implications for THG. PwC further advised on:

•

the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report;

•

appropriate performance metrics for 2025 and 2026 incentive arrangements; and

•

2025 AGM season remuneration trends.

Fees charged by PwC for advice provided to the Remuneration Committee for the 2025 financial year amounted to £51,850 (excluding VAT).

refer to the relevant details in the ‘Significant contractual arrangements’ section which follows.

#### Rights and obligations attaching toShares

The rights attaching to the Shares, as detailed within the Articles of Association, are as follows:

(a) Ordinary Shares

The Ordinary Shares rank pari passu in all respects and carry the right to receive all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid on, or in

respect of, the Ordinary Shares.

Subject to disenfranchisement in the event of non-payment of any call or other amount due and payable in respect of any Share, or

non-compliance with any statutory notice requiring disclosure of the beneficial ownership of any Share, on a show of hands every Shareholder

present in person or by proxy has one vote and on a poll every Shareholder present in person or by proxy has one vote for every Ordinary Share

that they hold.

Electronic and paper proxy appointments and voting instructions must be received no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a

working day) before a general meeting.

Except as set out above and as permitted under applicable statutes, there are no limitations on the voting rights of holders of a given percentage,

number of votes or deadlines for exercising voting rights.

#### Share capital continued

#### Rights and obligations attaching toShares continued

(b) D1 Shares, D2 Shares and E Shares

The D1 Shares, D2 Shares and E Shares are non-voting ordinary shares and do not carry the right to participate in dividends of the Company.

The holders of D1 Shares, D2 Shares and E Shares may convert their D1 Shares, D2 Shares and E Shares into Ordinary Shares (on the basis of,

asapplicable, one Ordinary Share per D1 Share or E Share or 185 Ordinary Shares per D2 Share).

(c) F Shares and G Shares

The F Shares and G Shares are non-voting ordinary shares and do not carry the right to participate in dividends of the Company. The holders of

F Shares and G Shares may exercise put options to convert their F Shares and G Shares into Ordinary Shares (on the basis of, as applicable, one

Ordinary Share per F Share or G Share). The put options may be exercised for a period of 10 years from the end of the performance period (which

ended on 31 December 2022).

(d) Deferred 1 Shares and Deferred 2 Shares

The Deferred 1 Shares and Deferred 2 Shares are non-voting ordinary shares and do not carry the right to participate in dividends of the Company.

The Deferred 1 Shares and Deferred 2 Shares may be purchased by the Company, provided it is lawful for the Company to purchase them, for an

aggregate sum of £1.00.

#### Restrictions on transfer or holdings of securities in the Company

With the exception of the following, there are no restrictions on the transfer of, or limitations on holding, securities in the Company: The Company

may, pursuant to the Articles of Association and the Companies Act, send out statutory notices to those it knows, or has reasonable cause to

believe, have an interest in its Shares, asking for details of those who have an interest in a particular holding of Shares and the extent of their

interest. When a person receives a statutory notice and fails to provide any information required by the notice in the time specified within it, the

Company can apply to a court for an order directing, amongst other matters, that any transfer of the Shares which are the subject of the statutory

notice is void. The Directors may, without giving any reason, refuse to register the transfer of any certificated Ordinary Shares which are not fully

paid. Transfers of uncertificated Ordinary Shares must be carried out using CREST, the central securities depository for markets in the UK and

for Irish stocks, and the operator of the relevant system or the Directors can refuse to register a transfer of an uncertificated Ordinary Share, in

accordance with the regulations governing the operation of CREST.

#### Dividends

Subject to the Companies Act and the Articles of Association, the Company may, by ordinary resolution, declare dividends and the Directors may

decide to pay interim dividends. A dividend must not be declared unless the Directors have made a recommendation as to its amount. Such a

dividend must not exceed the amount recommended by the Directors and no dividend may be declared or paid unless it is in accordance with

members’ respective rights.

No dividends were declared, nor will any be distributed, for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. While no dividends were declared or

distributed for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, a dividend liability was recognised within the statement of financial position at

31December 2024 following Shareholders granting approval to the business contained within the Demerger Circular on 27 December 2024.

Thesettlement of the dividend liability took place on 2 January 2025, the date of the demerger of THG Ingenuity. For further information, including

the resulting gain on demerger, please see note 12.2 to the financial statements.

Shareholders approved the demerger of THG Ingenuity on 27 December 2024, and the dividend in specie was recognised on that date. The

Directors carried out an appropriate assessment of distributable reserves in line with the Companies Act at the time. Following the FRC’s limited

scope review (closed March 2026), it was identified that the administrative step of filing interim accounts as at 27 December 2024 had not been

undertaken. Having taken legal advice, the Company has now filed those interim accounts at Companies House to correct that administrative error

and we expect a Shareholder resolution will be proposed at the forthcoming AGM.

#### Return of capital

A liquidator may, on obtaining any sanction required by law, divide amongst the members in kind the whole, or any part, of the assets of the

Company and may, for that purpose, value any assets and determine how the division is carried out as between the members or different classes

of members.

#### Shares held on trust

The Company has established an employee benefit trust (“EBT”) to hold Ordinary Shares to satisfy awards made under the Employee Incentive

Plan. As at the date of this Directors’ Report, the EBT holds 53,538,428 Ordinary Shares.

#### Substantial shareholdings

Disclosable interests of 3% or more in Ordinary Shares as at 31 December 2025 and 28 February 2026 were as follows:

Shareholder

Percentage of Ordinary Shares

as at 31 December 2025

#### Change of control

Other than the terms of the agreement

between Matthew Moulding and the Company,

as detailed under the ‘Significant contractual

arrangements’ section which follows, there are

no agreements between THG and its Directors

or employees providing for compensation

for loss of office or employment (whether

through resignation, purported redundancy

orotherwise) by reason of a takeover bid.

Details concerning the impact on annual

bonus in the event of a change of control are

set out in the Remuneration Policy. Generally,

any annual bonus awards and unvested LTIP

awards would be pro-rated for time and

performance in the event of a change of

control whereas any deferred elements of

bonus would not be.

While the Remuneration Committee has

the discretion not to pro-rate for time, its

normal policy is to do so. The Remuneration

Committee’s discretion not to pro-rate would

only be used if there was an acknowledged

business case which would be fully explained

to Shareholders. In all cases the relevant

performance conditions must be satisfied.

The Company has entered into various

agreements with third parties, as well as

contracts with third-party service providers,

which provide such parties with a right to

terminate their agreement in the event of a

change of control.

#### Significant contractual

#### arrangements

The Company is party to a relationship

agreement with Matthew Moulding which

regulates the ongoing relationship between

the two parties (the “Relationship Agreement”).

The principal purpose of the Relationship

Agreement is to ensure that the Company

is capable of carrying on its business

independently of Matthew Moulding and that

all transactions and arrangements between

the Company and Matthew Moulding are

conducted on normal commercial terms.

The provisions of the Relationship Agreement,

imposing certain obligations on Matthew

Moulding, will remain in full force and effect,

in respect of Matthew Moulding, for so long as

Matthew Moulding beneficially owns, together

with any of his associates, at least (a) 5% of

the fully diluted share capital of the Company

or (b) 10% of the Ordinary Shares.

THG Intermediate Opco Limited and THG

Operations Holdings Limited are party to a

senior facilities agreement, originally dated

10 December 2019, in relation to a syndicated

€445m Term Loan B Facility and £150m

RCF, as amended and/or amended and

restated from time to time, which is subject to

mandatory prepayment provisions following

the occurrence of a change of control or the

sale of all, or substantially all, of the assets

of THG Operations Holdings Limited and its

restricted subsidiaries.

In connection with the Company’s debt

refinancing and associated equity contribution

announced on 24 March 2025, the Company

entered into a non-interest-bearing convertible

loan agreement in an amount of £67.5m, on

26 March 2025, with Guernsey-registered FIC

Shareco Limited (a person closely associated

with Matthew Moulding) (the “Convertible

Loan”).

If not previously converted, the Convertible

Loan was repayable on the earlier of

31December 2030 and the date 12 months

after the maturity of the existing EUR Term

Loan B and existing £150m RCF. It was also

repayable on a change of control of the

Company (or, at the discretion of the Company,

convertible into newly issued Ordinary Shares

if the requisite Shareholder approval had been

obtained at the time of the change of control).

On 5 December 2025, the Convertible Loan

was converted into 209,086,407 Ordinary

Shares which were admitted to trading on the

London Stock Exchange and to the Official

List on 8 December 2025 and acquired by FIC

Shareco Limited pursuant to the terms of the

Convertible Loan.

Other than as disclosed above, there are

no significant agreements to which the

Company is a party that take effect, alter or

terminate upon a change of control following

atakeoverbid.

The Company does not have any agreement

with any Director or employee that would

provide compensation for loss of office or

employment resulting from a change of

controlon a takeover, except that the terms

of the Company’s share schemes and plans

may provide for the vesting of employee

options and/or awards in the circumstances

ofatakeover.

#### Donations

During the 2025 financial year the Group

made several charitable donations totalling

£0.8m (2024: £0.2m). An additional amount

of £0.4m (2024: £0.4m) was also accrued at

the balance sheet date as a result of Matthew

Moulding waiving as much as was legally

permissible of his base salary during 2025

in return for the Group making a charitable

donation to The Moulding Foundation of a

similar value. THG did not make any political

donations during 2025 (2024: £nil).

#### Overseas branches

While the Group does not operate any

overseas branches, subsidiaries have been

established in the following countries:

Australia, China, France, Germany, Guernsey,

India, Japan, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, the

United Arab Emirates and the United States

ofAmerica.

As a Group we continue to monitor the

situation in Ukraine and Russia. From an

operational perspective, all THG own-brand

deliveries remain suspended across Russia

and Russian-occupied Ukraine territories

and the Group has continued to work with its

courier partners in this regard. The necessary

measures have also been implemented within

the Group to ensure continued compliance

with all applicable sanctions and related

notices and guidance.

#### Research and development

Following completion of the demerger on

2January 2025, THG Ingenuity – the Group’s

former proprietary technology platform –

continued to provide services to the Group

throughout 2025 and up to the date of this

Annual Report.

In addition to delivering end-to-end

ecommerce functionality, THG Ingenuity offers

the Group significant competitive advantages

as its commercial teams review real-time

transactional and customer insight data.

Thisdata informs trading decisions which

arethen executed within short time frames.

Directors’ statement of

#### responsibility

The Directors are responsible for preparing

this Annual Report, including the financial

statements, in accordance with applicable

UKlaw and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare

financial statements for each financial year.

Accordingly, the Directors have elected to

prepare the Group financial statements

in accordance with UK-adopted IFRS and

the parent company financial statements

in accordance with UK Generally Accepted

Accounting Practice (UK Accounting Standards

and applicable law), including Financial

Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure

Framework (“FRS 101”).

Under company law the Directors must not

approve the financial statements unless they

are satisfied that they provide a true and

fair view of the state of affairs of the Group

and the Company and of the profit or loss of

the Group and the Company for the period

inquestion.

In preparing these financial statements,

theDirectors are required to:

•

select suitable accounting policies in

accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies,

Changes in Accounting Estimates and

Errors and then apply them consistently;

•

make judgements and accounting

estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

•

present information, including accounting

policies, in a manner that provides relevant,

reliable, comparable and understandable

information;

•

provide additional disclosures when

compliance with the specific requirements

in IFRS (and, in respect of the parent

disclose, with reasonable accuracy and at any

time, thefinancial position of the Company

and the Group and enable the Directors to

reasonable steps for the prevention and

detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In accordance with DTR 4.1.12R, each Director

whose name and position appears on pages

72 and 73 of the Corporate Governance Report

confirms that, to the best of their knowledge:

Strategic Report, includes a fair review

of the development and performance

of the business and the position of the

Company and undertakings included in the

consolidation taken as a whole, together

with a description of the principal risks and

uncertainties that they face; and

•

they consider the Annual Report, taken

as a whole, to be fair, balanced and

understandable, providing the information

necessary for Shareholders to assess the

Company’s position, performance, business

model and strategy.

Audit and External Auditor

At the date of approval of this Directors’

Report, each Director confirms that:

•

to the best of their knowledge, there is no

relevant audit information that has not been

brought to the attention of the External

Auditor; and

•

they have taken all steps required of them

to make themselves aware of any relevant

audit information and to establish that

the External Auditor was aware of that

information.

This confirmation is given, and should be

interpreted, in accordance with the provisions

of section 418 of the Companies Act.

EY has indicated its willingness to continue

in office as External Auditor and, upon the

recommendation of the Audit Committee,

a resolution to reappoint EY as such will

be proposed at the forthcoming AGM. Any

remuneration received by EY for: (i) auditing

this Annual Report; and (ii) any other

(non-audit) services has been disclosed in

note5 to the Group’s financial statements.

in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit

of the financial statements section of our

report. We believe that the audit evidence we

have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to

provide a basis for our opinion.

#### Independence

We are independent of the Group and parent

in accordance with the ethical requirements

that are relevant to our audit of the financial

statements in the UK, including the FRC’s

Ethical Standard as applied to listed public

interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other

ethical responsibilities in accordance with

these requirements.

The non-audit services prohibited by the

FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to

the Group or the Company and we remain

independent of the Group and the Company

inconducting the audit.

Conclusions relating to

#### goingconcern

In auditing the financial statements, we have

concluded that the directors’ use of the going

concern basis of accounting in the preparation

of the financial statements is appropriate.

Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment

of the Group and Company’s ability to

continue toadopt the going concern basis

ofaccounting included:

•

We have documented and evaluated

the process followed by management

to prepare the base case and downside

scenario forecasts which they have used

intheir going concern assessment.

•

We audited the forecasts underpinning the

going concern model which are based on

the Board-approved forecasts, including

checking the arithmetical accuracy and

appropriateness of management’s base

case forecast over the going concern

assessment period to 30 April 2027. We

validated that the source of the forecasts

used for the going concern assessment

was the same underlying cash flows

used for other parts of the audit, including

impairment assessments.

•

We challenged the reasonableness of

the key assumptions such as the revenue

growth rate and EBITDA margin used within

the base case and downside scenarios,

and compared them to external evidence

including sector reports, industry trends

and historical data where appropriate.

•

We verified the cash positions as at

31 December 2025 and 28 February

2026 to bank statements, and to bank

confirmations as at 31 December 2025.

•

We reviewed the new financing agreements

entered into in April 2025 and confirmed

the availability of the RCF and Term Loan B

through to 2029 (significantly outside the

going concern period). The asset-backed

facility is on a rolling term and therefore

we assessed as part of our procedures

a scenario where this facility was repaid.

We also considered changes to covenants

following the refinancing and vouched

that these had been correctly modelled

inmanagement’s forecasts.

•

We reviewed the accuracy of

management’s forecasting by comparing

the forecast results for the period 1 January

2026 to 28 February 2026 to actual results

as reported within management accounts

and flash results up to 28 February 2026.

•

We identified additional stress tests

that were then run by management to

determine the impact of changing some

of management’s key assumptions on the

going concern assessment. These key

assumptions were in relation to the revenue

growth rate and the gross margin, both of

which would impact the liquidity headroom

in the going concern period. Covenant

compliance only becomes applicable

when the business draws down on more

than 20% of the existing RCF facilities

until expiry in May 2029. Management

performed these stress tests by sensitising

for each key assumption individually

based on their expectation of a reasonable

downside scenario for that assumption

and then prepared a reverse stress test by

sensitising multiple assumptions in order to

reduce headroom to nil. We then evaluated

the likelihood of the scenario that would

reduce headroom to nil.

•

We assessed the mitigating actions

identified by management including the

timescale that each could be implemented

along with whether the actions were within

management’s control.

•

We reviewed the appropriateness of

management’s going concern disclosure

in describing the risks associated with its

ability to continue to operate as a going

concern until 30 April 2027.

•

The audit procedures on going concern

were supervised and directed by the audit

engagement partner and senior members

of the team.

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

![]()

Our key observations in relation to the work

performed are:

•

In management’s base case and plausible

downside scenario the Group retained

headroom on forecast cash and covenant

compliance throughout the going concern

assessment period. The lowest level of

cash headroom identified is £30m in

management’s downside scenario.

•

Cash balances as at 31 December 2025

total £183m. The Group is projected to

meet all of its covenant tests (which only

apply when the Group draws down on more

than 20% of the existing RCF facilities)

throughout the forecast period after

applying sensitivities and stress testing

modelled by management except for the

reverse stress test which was designed to

identify which assumptions would eliminate

headroom in the model.

Based on the work we have performed, we

have not identified any material uncertainties

relating to events or conditions that,

individually or collectively, may cast significant

doubt on the Group and Company’s ability to

continue as a going concern for a period to

30April 2027.

In relation to the Group and Company’s

reporting on how they have applied the UK

Corporate Governance Code, we have nothing

material to add or draw attention to in relation

to the directors’ statement in the financial

statements about whether the directors

considered it appropriate to adopt the going

concern basis of accounting.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities

ofthe directors with respect to going concern

are described in the relevant sections of

thisreport.

However, because not all future events or

conditions can be predicted, this statement

is not a guarantee as to the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern.

#### Overview of our audit approach

Audit scope

•

We determined that centralised audit procedures could be performed on 54 components covering all Group significant

accounts. We then considered whether the remaining amounts in relation to Group significant account balances not

yet subject to audit procedures, in aggregate, could give rise to a risk of material misstatement of the Group financial

statements. We selected an additional two components of the Group to include in our audit scope toaddress these risks

and performed specified procedures on these components.

Key audit

matters

•

Revenue recognition (Group).

•

Significant disclosures (Group).

•

Impairment of intangible assets in the THG Beauty CGU (Group).

•

Recoverability of the Company’s investment in subsidiaries and intercompany receivables (Company).

Materiality

•

Overall Group materiality of £8.6m which represents 0.5% of Group revenue.

•

Company materiality is £8.6m which represents 0.5% of Company equity capped at the value of Group materiality.

An overview of the scope of the

#### Company and Group audits

We followed a risk-based approach when

developing our audit approach to obtain

sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which

to base our audit opinion. We performed risk

assessment procedures to identify and assess

risks of material misstatement of the Group

financial statements and identified significant

accounts and disclosures. When identifying

components on which audit work needed to be

performed to respond to the identified risks of

material misstatement of the Group financial

statements, we considered our understanding

of the Group and its business environment, the

Group’s system of internal control at the entity

level, and the existence of centralised processes

and applications, the results of internal audits

plus the potential impact of climate change.

We determined that centralised audit

procedures could be performed on

54components covering all Group

significantaccounts.

We then considered whether the remaining

amounts in relation to Group significant

account balances not yet subject to audit

procedures, in aggregate, could give rise to

a risk of material misstatement of the Group

financial statements.

We selected an additional two components

of the Group to include in our audit scope to

address theserisks.

Having identified the components for which

work will be performed, we determined the

scope to assign to each component.

For the two components selected, we

performed specified audit procedures to obtain

evidence for one or more relevant assertions.

Our scoping to address the risk of material

misstatement for each key audit matter is

setout in the Key audit matters section of

ourreport.

#### Involvement with component

#### teams

All audit work performed for the purposes

ofthe audit was undertaken by the Group

audit team.

#### Climate change

Stakeholders are increasingly interested in

how climate change will impact companies.

The Group has determined that the most

significant future impacts from climate change

on its operations will be from transition and

physical risks.

These are explained on pages 54 to 58 in

the required Task Force On Climate Related

Financial Disclosures and on pages 62 to 67 in

the principal risks and uncertainties. They have

also explained their climate commitments on

page 44. All of these disclosures form part

of the “Other information,” rather than the

audited financial statements. Our procedures

on these unaudited disclosures therefore

consisted solely of considering whether they

are materially inconsistent with the financial

statements or our knowledge obtained in

the course of the audit or otherwise appear

to be materially misstated, in line with our

responsibilities on “Other information”.

In planning and performing our audit we

assessed the potential impacts of climate

change on the Group’s business and

any consequential material impact on

itsfinancialstatements.

The Group has explained in the other

judgements and sources of estimation

uncertainty (note 1) its articulation of

how climate change has been reflected

in the financial statements. There are no

significant judgements or estimates relating

to climate change in the notes to the

financialstatements.

#### Financial Statements

#### Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of THG PLC conti nued

Our audit effort in considering the impact of

climate change on the financial statements

was focused on evaluating management’s

assessment of the impact of climate

risk, physical and transition, their climate

commitments, the effects of material climate

risks disclosed on pages 54 to 58 and whether

these have been appropriately reflected in

asset values where these are impacted by

future cash flows. As part of this evaluation,

we performed our own risk assessment,

supported by our climate change internal

specialists, to determine the risks of material

misstatement in the financial statements

from climate change which needed to be

considered in our audit.

We also challenged the Directors’

considerations of climate change risks in their

assessment of going concern and viability and

associated disclosures.

Based on our work we have not identified the

impact of climate change on the financial

statements to be a key audit matter or to

impact a key audit matter.

#### Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that,

inour professional judgement, were of most

significance in our audit of the financial

statements of the current period and include

the most significant assessed risks of material

misstatement (whether or not due to fraud)

that we identified.

These matters included those which had the

greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy,

the allocation of resources in the audit; and

directing the efforts of the engagement team.

These matters were addressed in the context

of our audit of the financial statements as

a whole, and in our opinion thereon, and

we do not provide a separate opinion on

thesematters.

Risk  Our response to the risk

Revenue recognition (£1,718m, 2024: £1,751m)

Refer to the Audit Committee Report (page 81); Accounting policies

(page123); and Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements

(pages128and 129)

Revenue is a key metric when evaluating the performance of the Group and

receives significant scrutiny externally and internally. It is primarily comprised

of a large volume of small value transactions. As the Group achieves c.30% of

its revenue in the final quarter, we consider it appropriate to heighten our risk

response in this quarter.

Our risk in relation to revenue recognition is specific to the risk of bias or fraud

through management manipulation of revenue recognised by non-routine/

manual adjustments which increase the amount of revenue recognised in the

year, with a particular focus on postings made in the final quarter.

In response to this risk, we:

•

Performed a walkthrough of the relevant controls over revenue recognition

forall significant revenue streams within the Group.

•

Adopted a data analytics approach to corroborate our expectation of the

relationship between revenue and cash receipts for D2C websales and

revenue, trade receivables and cash receipts for B2B sales. Any material

exceptions, representing journals outside of the standard process which may

be indicative of management override of controls, were substantively tested.

For exceptions posted in the final quarter, we applied a lower testing threshold

to identify items for substantive testing.

•

Audited material non-routine journal entry postings to any significant revenue

stream which could be reflective of management override in relation to the

amount of revenue recognised. For journals identified which satisfied this

criteria, we obtained supporting evidence from management to corroborate

that the journal entry was valid, appropriate and adequately supported.

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

Through our analytics procedures and journal testing performed we have gained sufficient assurance that the revenue recognised in the year is appropriately recorded.

How we scoped our audit to respond to the risk

We performed centralised procedures over this risk which covered 94% of revenue. We supplemented this by also performing specified procedures over revenue in

one component, which covered a further 3% of revenue.

Risk  Our response to the risk

Significant disclosures (Adjusted items – 2025: £30m,

2024: £124m)

Refer to the Audit Committee Report (pages 80 and 81); Accounting policies

(page 123); and Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (pages

130 and 131)

Our risk is focused on the following areas of the annual report that we consider

are more complex or subjective disclosure items:

•

Adjusted profit measures – potential for amounts to be classified as

adjustedthat are not in line with management’s accounting policy.

•

Whether the accounts when taken as a whole are fair, balanced

andunderstandable.

In response to this risk, we:

•

Understood the costs that have been proposed by management for separate

disclosure as adjusted items in the financial statements and challenged

whether these costs comply with the Group’s policy, merit separate

presentation or whether they are simply the ongoing costs of the business.

•

Ensured that narrative within the Annual Report does not give undue

prominence to Alternative Performance Measures (APMs), checking that

theAPM is reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure and that APM’s

disclosedare consistent year-on-year.

•

Reviewed the related party disclosure note, and challenged management on

completeness and transparency of disclosure, and ensured the related party

committee had considered all items disclosed.

•

Evaluated how the Board and those charged with governance have assessed

and concluded that the Annual Report is fair, balanced and understandable.

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

We raised observations to the Audit Committee in relation to certain judgements that had been made in management’s determination of adjusted items and

challenged management and the Audit Committee on the appropriateness of conclusions reached.

We requested that certain disclosures provided within note 4 were enhanced to ensure that the narrative included was sufficient and appropriate to reflect the nature

of items included in this note and ensure any judgements taken by management were clearly disclosed to a user of the financial statements in order to enable them

to form a view on the appropriateness of the adjustments being made.

Overall, we concluded that the Annual Report, when taken as a whole, is considered to be fair, balanced and understandable.

How we scoped our audit to respond to the risk

We performed procedures in relation to adjusted profit measures centrally for the Group as a whole.

Our procedures in relation to assessing whether the accounts, when taken as a whole were fair, balanced and understandable, were not impacted by our scoping of

account balances.

Risk  Our response to the risk

Impairment of intangible assets in the THG Beauty CGU

(£760m, 2024: £815m carrying value of CGU)

Refer to the Audit Committee Report (page 80); Accounting policies

(page124); and Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements

(pages135 and 136)

There is a risk that the recoverable value of assets within the THG Beauty

CGUare below the carrying amount resulting in an impairment.

The CGU continues to operate in a challenging macroeconomic environment,

and the model continues to be sensitive to changes in key assumptions,

therefore we identified a significant risk associated with the impairment

assessment.

The impairment assessment requires management to make a number of key

assumptions, including in respect of short and long-term growth rates, EBITDA

margins and the discount rate adopted. There is a risk that optimism in the

assumptions could lead to an unrecorded impairment.

In response to this risk, we:

•

Performed a walkthrough of management’s annual impairment review process

and assessed the design effectiveness and implementation of key controls.

•

Obtained management’s impairment assessment and evaluated the methodology

adopted to confirm it is consistent with the requirements of IAS 36.

•

Assessed the reliability of management’s forecasts by comparing previous

forecasts to actuals. We validated that the source of the forecasts used for the

impairment model is the same underlying cash flows used for other parts of

the audit, including going concern.

•

Challenged the reasonableness of the forecasts used in the assessment

including key assumptions (revenue growth and EBITDA margin) by comparing

to third party industry forecasts, competitors and historical actuals.

•

We engaged EY valuations specialists to calculate an independent range of the

discount rate and perpetuity rate expected for the THG Beauty CGU.

•

Assessed the sensitivity of the model to reasonably possible changes in key

assumptions both in isolation and as a combined scenario.

•

Assessed the clerical accuracy of the model.

•

Assessed the impairment disclosure presented by management and ensured

this is in accordance with the requirements of ‘IAS 36 Impairment of Assets’.

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

We are satisfied that the carrying value of assets in this CGU is not impaired. We have highlighted to the Audit Committee the sensitivity of the THG Beauty

impairment model to reasonably possible changes in key assumptions when applied in combination such as the revenue growth rate and EBITDA margin. We have

concluded that THG’s disclosures sufficiently describe this sensitivity, and that the disclosures in the Annual Report regarding the Impairment assessment for this

CGU are in line with IAS 36.

How we scoped our audit to respond to the risk

Our procedures were not impacted by our scoping of account balances.

Risk  Our response to the risk

Recoverability of the Company’s investment in subsidiaries

and intercompany receivables

Refer to the Accounting policies (page156); and Note 5 of the Company

Financial Statements (page 157)

There is a risk that the carrying value of investments (£13m) and intercompany

receivables (£1,649m) within the Company exceed their recoverable value. This

risk is increased due to the current market conditions in respect of both the

THGBeauty and THG Nutrition businesses.

We consider that this potential risk is heightened by the Company assets

exceeding market capitalisation relative to the combined investment

andintercompany balance.

In response to this risk, we:

•

Reviewed the performance of each business and market conditions toassess

whether there were indicators of impairment.

•

For the investment held in THG Insurance Limited we compared the carrying

amount of the investment to the net assets of this subsidiary, to identify

whether the net asset value was in excess ofthe carrying value.

•

For the investment held in THG Intermediate Holdings Limited we compared

the carrying amount of the investment and intercompany receivable balances

to the recoverable amount of the subsidiaries, using the values derived from

the impairment assessments performed for the THG Beauty and THG Nutrition

CGUs. As part of this assessment we also considered the quantum of external

debt that would require repayment.

•

Considered the carrying value of investment in subsidiaries and intercompany

receivables in light of the market capitalisation of theGroup.

Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee

We are satisfied that the carrying value of investments and intercompany receivables are not impaired.

How we scoped our audit to respond to the risk

Our procedures were not impacted by our scoping of account balances, as we performed our responsive audit procedures on the total investment and intercompany

receivable balances.

In the prior year, our auditor’s report included key audit matters in relation to the demerger of THG Ingenuity. In the current year, wehave removed

this as a KAM following the completion of the demerger on2January2025.

#### Financial Statements

#### Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of THG PLC conti nued

#### Our application of materiality

We apply the concept of materiality in planning

and performing the audit, in evaluating the

effect of identified misstatements on the audit

and in forming our audit opinion.

#### Materiality

The magnitude of an omission or

misstatement that, individually or in

the aggregate, could reasonably be

expected to influence the economic

decisions of the users of the financial

statements. Materiality provides a basis

fordeterminingthe nature and extent of

ouraudit procedures.

We determined materiality for the Group to be

£8.6 million (2024: £10 million), which is 0.5%

(2024: 0.5%) of Group revenue. We believe

that revenue is the most important benchmark

for users of the financial statements as it is a

key performance indicator within the Group’s

financial reporting and communications to

themarket.

We determined materiality for the Company to

be £8.6 million (2024: £10 million) (capped at

Group materiality).

During the course of our audit, we reassessed

initial materiality set at the planning stage of

the audit, and updated our assessment based

on year end performance.

#### Performance materiality

The application of materiality at the

individual account or balance level.

It is setat an amount to reduce to an

appropriately low level the probability

that the aggregate of uncorrected and

undetected misstatements exceeds

materiality.

On the basis of our risk assessments, our

judgement was that performance materiality

was 50% (2024: 50%) of our planning

materiality, namely £4.25m (2024: £5.0m).

We have set performance materiality at this

percentage due to the level of errors identified

through the course of the 2024 audit.

Audit work is undertaken on components for

the purpose of responding to the assessed

risks of material misstatement of the group

financial statements. The performance

materiality set for each component is based

onthe relative scale and risk of the component

to the Group as a whole and our assessment

of the risk of misstatement at that component.

In the current year, the range of performance

materiality allocated to components was

£850k to £4.1m (2024: £1.0m to £4.4m).

#### Reporting threshold

An amount below which identified

misstatements are considered as being

clearly trivial.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we

would report to them all uncorrected audit

differences in excess of £425k (2024: £500k),

which is set at 5% of planning materiality,

as well as differences below that threshold

that, in our view, warranted reporting on

qualitativegrounds.

We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements

against both the quantitative measures of

materiality discussed above and in light of

other relevant qualitative considerations in

forming our opinion.

#### Other information

The other information comprises the information

included in the Annual Report set out on pages

1 to 110 and 160 to 164, other than the financial

statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

The directors are responsible for the other

information contained within the Annual Report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does

not cover the other information and, except

to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in

this report, we do not express any form of

assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other

information and, in doing so, consider whether

the other information is materially inconsistent

with the financial statements or our knowledge

obtained in the course of the audit or

otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If we identify such material inconsistencies or

apparent material misstatements, we are

required to determine whether this gives rise

to a material misstatement in the financial

statements themselves. If, based on the work

we have performed, we conclude that there is

a material misstatement of the other

information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

#### Opinions on other matters

#### prescribed by the Companies

#### Act2006

In our opinion, the part of the directors’

remuneration report to be audited has been

properly prepared in accordance with the

Companies Act 2006.

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken

in the course of the audit:

•

the information given in the strategic report

and the directors’ report for the financial

year for which the financial statements are

prepared is consistent with the financial

statements;

•

the strategic report and the directors’ report

have been prepared in accordance with

applicable legal requirements.

#### Matters on which we are required

#### to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and

understanding of the Group and the Company

and its environment obtained in the course

of the audit, we have not identified material

misstatements in the strategic report or the

directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the

following matters in relation to which the

Companies Act 2006 requires us to report

toyou if, in our opinion:

•

adequate accounting records have not been

kept by the Company, or returns adequate

for our audit have not been received from

branches not visited by us; or

•

the Company financial statements and the

part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report

to be audited are not in agreement with the

accounting records and returns; or

•

certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration

specified by law are not made; or

•

we have not received all the information and

explanations we require for our audit.

#### Corporate Governance Statement

We have reviewed the directors’ statement in

relation to going concern, longer-term viability

and that part of the Corporate Governance

Statement relating to the Group and

company’s compliance with the provisions of

the UK Corporate Governance Code specified

for our review by the UK Listing Rules.

Based on the work undertaken as part of

our audit, we have concluded that each of

the following elements of the Corporate

Governance Statement is materially consistent

with the financial statements or our

knowledge obtained during the audit:

•

Directors’ statement with regards to the

appropriateness of adopting the going

concern basis of accounting and any

material uncertainties identified set out

onpage 68;

•

Directors’ explanation as to its assessment

of the company’s prospects, the period this

assessment covers and why the period is

appropriate set out on pages 68 and69;

•

Directors’ statement on whether it has a

reasonable expectation that the Group will

be able to continue in operation and meets

its liabilities set out on page 68;

•

Directors’ statement on fair, balanced and

understandable set out on pages 81 and 82;

•

Board’s confirmation that it has carried out

a robust assessment of the emerging and

principal risks set out on pages 62 to 67;

•

The section of the Annual Report that

describes the review of effectiveness of risk

management and internal control systems

set out on pages 60 to 62; and

•

The section describing the work of the audit

committee set out on pages 79 to 83.

#### Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors’

responsibilities statement set out on pages

109 and 110, the directors are responsible for

the preparation of the financial statements

and for being satisfied that they give a true

and fair view, and for such internal control as

the directors determine is necessary to enable

the preparation of financial statements that

are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the

directors are responsible for assessing the

Group and Company’s ability to continue as

a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,

matters related to going concern and using the

going concern basis of accounting unless the

directors either intend to liquidate the Group or

the Company or to cease operations, or have

no realistic alternative but to do so.

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

Auditor’s responsibilities for the

#### audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable

assurance about whether the financial

statements as a whole are free from

material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s

report that includes our opinion. Reasonable

assurance is a high level of assurance, but

is not a guarantee that an audit conducted

in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always

detect a material misstatement when it

exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud

or error and are considered material if,

individually or in the aggregate, they could

reasonably be expected to influence the

economic decisions of users taken on the

basis of these financial statements.

#### Explanation as to what extent

#### theaudit was considered capable

of detecting irregularities,

#### includingfraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances

ofnon-compliance with laws and regulations.

We design procedures in line with our

responsibilities, outlined above, to detect

irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not

detecting a material misstatement due to

fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting

one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

deliberate concealment by, for example,

forgery or intentional misrepresentations,

or through collusion. The extent to which

our procedures are capable of detecting

irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

However, the primary responsibility for the

prevention and detection of fraud rests with

both those charged with governance of the

company and management.

•

We obtained an understanding of the

legal and regulatory frameworks that are

applicable to the Group and determined

thatthe most significant are those

that relate to the reporting framework

(UK-adopted IAS, Companies Act 2006,

theUK Corporate Governance Code and

theListing Rules of the UK Listing Authority)

and the relevant tax compliance regulations

in the jurisdictions in which THGPLC

operates. In addition, we concluded that

there are certain significant laws and

regulations that may have an effect on

the determination of the amounts and

disclosures in the financial statements

and those laws and regulations relating

to health and safety, employee matters,

environmental, manufacturing, marketing

and advertising, data protection and privacy,

and bribery and corruption practices.

•

We understood how THG PLC is complying

with those frameworks by making enquiries

of management, internal audit, those

responsible for legal and compliance

procedures and the Company Secretary.

We corroborated our enquiries through

our review of Board minutes, internal audit

reports and papers provided to the Audit

Committee and Risk Committee.

•

We assessed the susceptibility of the

Group’s financial statements to material

misstatement, including how fraud might

occur by meeting with management

and those charged with governance to

understand where it considered there was

a susceptibility to fraud. We also considered

performance targets and the propensity

to influence efforts made by management

to manage earnings. Where the risk was

considered to be higher, we performed

audit procedures to address each identified

fraud risk. These procedures included

testing higher risk journal entries and were

designed to provide reasonable assurance

that the financial statements were free

from fraud and error.

•

Based on this understanding we

designed our audit procedures to identify

non-compliance with such laws and

regulations. Our procedures involved journal

entry testing, with a focus on consolidation

journals and journal entries indicating

large or unusual transactions based on

our understanding of the business. We

performed inquiries of internal and external

legal counsel, reviewed material items

within the Group’s legal expenses, and

reviewed media coverage of the Group

to identify whether there were relevant

matters that had not been brought to

our attention through discussions with

management. In addition, we completed

procedures to conclude on the compliance

of the disclosures in the Annual Report

and Accounts with the requirements

of the relevant accounting standards,

UK legislation and the UK Corporate

Governance Code 2018.

•

As disclosed in the Audit Committee Report,

the Company received a comment letter

from the FRC in the year. We noted that

the Directors had performed appropriate

and timely assessment of the sufficiency

of reserves to make the dividend in

specie recorded in the 2024 Annual

Report. However, the Company did not file

interim accounts in accordance with the

requirements in the Companies Act. We

have reviewed the legal advice and have

confirmed that the Company has now

remedied by submitting interim accounts.

A further description of our responsibilities for

the audit of the financial statements is located

on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at

https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

This description forms part of our auditor’s

report.

#### Other matters we are required

#### toaddress

•

Following the recommendation from

the audit committee we were appointed

by the company in 2011 to audit the

financial statements for the year ending

31December 2011 and subsequent

financialperiods.

The period of total uninterrupted

engagement including previous renewals

and reappointments is 15 years, covering

the years ending 31 December 2011 to

31December 2025.

The Group listed on the London

Stock Exchange for the year ended

31December2020, became a UK PIE and

therefore, at this point mandatory auditor

rotation rules became effective.

•

The audit opinion is consistent with the

additional report to the audit committee.

#### Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company’s

members, as a body, in accordance with

Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act

2006. Our audit work has been undertaken

so that we might state to the company’s

members those matters we are required

to state to them in an auditor’s report and

for no other purpose. To the fullest extent

permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the

company and the company’s members as a

body, for our audit work, for this report, or for

the opinions we have formed.

#### Financial Statements

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have

been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted

international accounting standards (“IFRS”).

The financial statements have been prepared

on the historical cost basis, except for

derivatives which are held at fair value.

The accounting policies adopted by the

Group in the current year are consistent

with those adopted during the year ended

31 December 2024, with the exception of the

changes detailed below. There have been no

new or amended accounting standards or

interpretations adopted during the year that

have had a significant impact on the Group’s

financial statements.

New and amended standards

adopted by the Group

The Group has early adopted the following

amendments, which are effective for

accounting periods beginning on or after

1 January 2026:

•

IFRS 7 and 9 Amendments in respect of the

classification and measurement of financial

instruments (effective 1 January 2026).

New accounting policies

On 24 March 2025, the Group entered into a

convertible loan agreement. A new accounting

policy has been established to account

for the liability and equity components of

this instrument in accordance with IAS 32

Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 9

Financial Instruments.

Accounting standards published

but not yet adopted

The following new standards, interpretations

and amendments to published standards

and interpretations have been issued and

are relevant to the Group for the period

ended 31 December 2025 but have not been

adopted early:

•

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in

Financial Statements. The Group is currently

reviewing the likely impact of IFRS 18 on its

statutory reporting

There are no other standards, interpretations

or amendments to IFRS that have been issued

but are not yet effective that are expected

to have a material impact on the Group’s

financial statements.

Going concern

Accounting standards require that Directors

satisfy themselves that it is reasonable for

them to conclude on whether or not it is

appropriate to prepare financial statements

on the going concern basis. There has been

no material uncertainty identified that would

cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability

to continue using the going concern basis

of accounting for the thirteen months to

30 April 2027 .

The Group’s business activities, together

with the factors likely to affect its future

development, performance and position, are

set out in the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 69.

The Group’s strategic planning cycle includes

an annual Budget process, which is reviewed

by the Board. This planning process involves

modelling under a series of assumptions.

Severe but plausible downside scenarios

were also modelled setting out impacts of a

combination of the principal risks, as well as

a reverse stress test to identify what would

be required to either breach covenants or

run out of liquidity. This process is led by the

Group CFO and Deputy Group CFO along with

the Board and Independent Chair and CEO

providing further direction to align strategic

initiatives. Forecasts have been prepared

on a divisional level. The Directors of the

Group review its Budget periodically, which

is revisited and revised as appropriate in

response to evolving market conditions.

In considering the Group’s financial position

the Directors have considered:

•

expected future growth of trading

businesses;

•

margins expected to be achieved in the

future; and

•

wider market and industry-specific factors.

The Directors have also considered the

liquidity of the Group as well as available

facilities and note that as at the balance

sheet date, the Group had a total of £150m in

undrawn facilities, along with £183m readily

available cash held on the balance sheet.

Net debt at 31 December 2025 was £364m

(31 December 2024: £346m), with net debt of

£233m (31 December 2024: £304m, £215m

on a pre-demerger basis adjusting for the cash

held within THG Ingenuity) before the inclusion

of IFRS 16 lease liabilities.

During 2025 the Company announced the

completion of its debt refinancing through to

2029. As part of a plan to delever, an ‘amend

and extend’ refinancing was agreed that

reduced the Term Loan B from €600m to

€445m with maturity extended by three years

to December 2029.

The Term Loan A fully matured in October

2025. The RCF (undrawn at year end) totals

£150m and has also been extended to 2029.

The reduction in facilities was partially funded

by the equity placing and equity raise during

the year. The demerger of THG Ingenuity has

materially reduced the cash outflows of the

Group with substantial reductions in lease

commitments (c.£20m per annum) and capex

requirements, which in turn mean that the

Group requires smaller banking facilities.

Additional liquidity was also obtained through

asset-backed lending facilities. There are no

key covenants attached to the Term Loan B or

Term Loan A facilities which are drawn down.

Covenants attached to the RCF are linked to net

debt leverage and only become effective when

the facility is drawn above 20%, which is not

anticipated to occur on test dates (biannually).

This covenant requires the Group to maintain

the ratio of net debt over Adjusted EBITDA

to below 4.50 – 3.50 (over the course of the

term), which is reviewed regularly, although

as noted the facility is not drawn. This facility

provides the Group liquidity optionality to

manage seasonal working capital movements.

These covenants are effective from

31 December 2025.

The Directors are of the opinion that the

Group’s forecasts and projections, which

they believe are based on an appropriate

assessment of the market and past

experience taking account of reasonably

possible changes in trading performance given

the current market and economic conditions,

show that the Group should be able to operate

within the current facility and comply with its

banking covenants in the event that the RCF

facilities are drawn upon.

The Directors have modelled a range of

scenarios, as outlined above, over a three-year

period. Further details of the Group’s

considerations are provided in the Viability

Statement and Going Concern Statement

on pages 68 and 69.

As a result of the analysis performed,

including potential severe but plausible

scenarios, the Board believes that the Group

is able to adequately manage its financing

and principal risks and that the Group will

be able to operate within the level of its

facilities and meet the required covenants

for the going concern assessment period.

Based on the above activity, the Directors are

satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the

financial statements of the Group on a going

concern basis.

1. Accounting policies

The Group’s key accounting policies are

set out below. These policies have been

prepared on the basis of the recognition and

measurement requirements of IFRS standards

in effect that apply to accounting periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2025 and

have been applied to 2024 comparatives

where applicable.

a. Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate

those of the Company and all its subsidiary

undertakings drawn up to 31 December 2025.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which

the Group has control. When the end of

the reporting period of a subsidiary is not

31 December, the subsidiary prepares, for

consolidation purposes, additional financial

information as of the same date as the

financial statements of the Group.

All transactions and balances between Group

companies are eliminated on consolidation,

including unrealised gains and losses on

transactions between Group companies.

Where unrealised losses on intra-Group

asset sales are reversed on consolidation,

the underlying asset is also tested for

impairment from a Group perspective.

#### Notes to the consolidated financial statements

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

122

![]()

Amounts reported in the financial statements

of subsidiaries have been adjusted where

necessary to ensure consistency with the

accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income

of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during

the year are recognised from the effective date

of acquisition, or up to the effective date of

disposal, as applicable.

b. Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for

using the acquisition method under IFRS 3

‘Business Combinations’. The consideration

transferred by the Group to obtain control

of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of

the acquisition-date fair values of assets

transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity

interests issued by the Group, which includes

the fair value of any asset or liability arising

from a contingent consideration arrangement.

Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets

acquired and liabilities assumed, including

contingent liabilities, in a business combination

regardless of whether they have been

previously recognised in the acquiree’s

financial statements prior to the acquisition.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed

are measured at their acquisition-date fair

values. These fair values can be reassessed

retrospectively for a period of 12 months from

the acquisition date to reflect new information

obtained about facts and circumstances

that existed as of the acquisition date, and if

known, would have resulted in the recognition

of those assets and liabilities as of that date.

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition

of other identifiable intangible assets.

It is calculated as the excess of the

sum of a) fair value of consideration

transferred, b) the recognised amount of any

non-controlling interest in the acquiree and

c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing

equity interest in the acquiree, over the

acquisition-date fair values of identifiable

net assets. If the fair values of identifiable

net assets exceed the sum calculated above,

the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain

purchase) is recognised in profit or loss

immediately.

In determining whether a transaction is a

business combination or an asset purchase,

the Group considers the inputs, processes and

outputs acquired in accordance with IFRS 3.

c. Revenue

Revenue consists primarily of direct to

consumer (“D2C”) internet sales along with

business to business (“B2B”) sales.

D2C and B2B sales

Identifying performance obligations:

For D2C and B2B sales the performance

obligation is the delivery of the goods

purchased by the customer. Control of goods

is transferred upon delivery of the product to

the customer.

Identifying the transaction price: For D2C

sales, the customer pays in full at the point

of sale, with the transaction price allocated to

individual goods purchased. A contract liability

is recognised until the related goods have

been delivered. For B2B sales, the transaction

price is allocated to the individual goods and

the customer pays in line with the agreed

credit terms.

Revenue is shown net of returns, with

expected sales returns estimated based on

historical return data applied to sales. These

returns are accounted for at the lower of cost

or net realisable value. A right of return asset

(and corresponding adjustment to cost of

sales) for the right to recover the goods from

the customer is recognised within inventory.

Allocation of transaction price to

performance obligations: In general, the

whole transaction price is allocated to the

performance obligation. Where a customer

purchases multiple goods within one

transaction, the transaction price is allocated

to those goods based on relative standalone

selling prices.

Revenue recognition: Revenue is recognised

at the point of time when the customer

receives the goods, shown net of returns.

Revenue from memberships

Fees recognised in respect of memberships

are recorded on a straight-line basis over the

membership period.

LF Beauty Plus+ Rewards

and Cult Status Points

LF Beauty Plus+ Rewards and Cult Status

points are issued by Lookfantastic and Cult

Beauty when a customer purchases goods

that are a separate performance obligation

providing a right to a future discount. The

transaction price is allocated between the

goods purchased and the points awarded

based on their relative standalone selling

prices. The portion of the transaction price

allocated to LF Beauty Plus+ Rewards and

Cult Status Points are deferred as a contract

liability. Revenue is recognised as the points

are redeemed by the customer or when

they expire. The standalone selling price of

the points is estimated based on the value

of the discount available when redeemed,

adjusted for the probability of redemption. This

probability is estimated using historical data

on redemption rates and customer behaviour.

Licensing income

THG enters into licensing partnerships,

whereby licensees pay for the right to use

the Group’s intellectual property, primarily

its established brands. These arrangements

are assessed as licences providing a ‘right

to use’ the Group’s IP, therefore, revenue

from these arrangements is recognised at a

point in time. Where consideration is variable,

revenue is recognised as earned based on

the contractual royalty rate applied to the

licensee’s product sales.

Barter income

For some of its monthly subscription offerings,

THG receives goods for inclusion in its

subscription boxes from business partners in

return for the marketing exposure received

by those products being included in the

subscription box. The goods are recognised

as stock when received and held at their

fair value. When the box is sold, the revenue

for providing those marketing services is

recognised with an equal and offsetting entry

recorded in cost of goods sold.

d. Adjusted items

The business is managed and measured on

a day-to-day basis using underlying results

(Adjusted EBITDA). This is an important

metric utilised within the business to monitor

performance and guide strategic business

decisions. The metric captures the Group’s

view of underlying trading performance after

excluding non-recurring items. Further details

of the categories considered as adjusting

items are detailed in note 4.

Management applies judgement in

determining which items should be excluded

from Adjusted EBITDA. The considerations

factored into this judgement include, but are

not limited to:

•

nature of the item;

•

significance of the item on the

financial results; and

•

management’s expectation on the recurring

or non-recurring nature of the item.

These are items which are material in

nature and include, but are not limited to,

costs relating to acquisitions, disposals and

significant events or projects, some of which

span multiple years.

Although categories of adjusted items may

appear across multiple periods, the underlying

event driving that cost or income is often

non-recurring.

These items are excluded from Adjusted

EBITDA as management believe their inclusion

distorts the underlying trading performance.

This is consistent with the way that financial

performance is measured by management and

reported to the Board. For further details, refer

to note 4.

#### Financial Statements

1. Accounting policies continued

e. Share-based payments

The Group operates share-based

compensation plans, under which the

Group receives services from employees as

consideration for equity instruments (options)

of the Company. The fair value of the employee

services received in exchange for the grant

of equity instruments is recognised as an

expense in the statement of comprehensive

income. The cost of the equity-settled

transaction is measured at the fair value on

the date the awards were granted. In the

instance that the awards need to be valued,

an appropriate valuation model is applied. The

total expense is recognised over the vesting

period, which is the period over which all the

specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group

revises its estimates of the number of equity

instruments that are expected to vest based

on the non-market vesting conditions along

with taking account of any equity instruments

that may have been cancelled or modified

in the period. It recognises the impact of the

revision to original estimates, if any, in the

statement of comprehensive income with a

corresponding adjustment to equity.

The shares issued under the Group’s share

schemes are held by an Employee Benefit

Trust (“EBT”), with the beneficial interest in the

shares being held jointly by the EBT and the

individual participant until the shares vest. The

EBT has been consolidated within the Group’s

financial statements.

f. Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the

cost of acquisitions over the Group’s

interest in the fair value of the identifiable

assets and liabilities (including intangible

assets) of the acquired entity at the date

of acquisition. Goodwill is recognised as an

asset and assessed for any indications of

impairment at least annually. Any impairment

is recognised immediately in the statement

of comprehensive income.

For the purposes of impairment testing,

goodwill is reviewed by assessing the

cash-generating unit that has benefited from

the acquisition. If the recoverable amount

of the cash-generating unit is less than its

carrying amount, then the impairment loss is

allocated first to reduce the carrying amount

of the goodwill allocated to the unit and then

to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata

basis.

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable

amount of goodwill is included in the

determination of the profit and loss

on disposal.

Platform development costs

The costs of acquiring and developing the

platform and websites is capitalised separately

as an intangible asset. Capitalised website

costs include direct costs of materials,

services, directly attributable overheads,

payroll and payroll-related costs for employees

who are directly associated with website

development projects. Such costs are only

capitalised when the criteria within IAS 38

are met.

Intellectual property

This includes separately acquired customer

lists, domain and trade names, and other

intellectual property, including customer lists

acquired as part of business combinations.

Separately acquired intangible assets are

measured at cost on initial recognition.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets

are carried at cost less any accumulated

amortisation and impairment losses.

Brands

Brands arising from business combinations

are recognised at fair value on acquisition

date. An assessment is made on the useful

economic life, and the intangible asset is

subsequently amortised over that life. The

useful economic life is reviewed on an annual

basis to confirm that the useful life continues

to be supportable.

Other intangible assets

Costs associated with developing new

products are capitalised as an intangible asset,

including directly associated costs.

Intangible assets are amortised on a

straight-line basis over their estimated useful

economic life. Amortisation is charged to the

statement of comprehensive income, classified

in expenses depending on the nature of the

asset. The estimates of useful economic lives

are reviewed on an annual basis and any

changes are treated as changes in accounting

estimates.

Where computer software is not an integral

part of a related item of computer hardware,

the software is treated as an intangible asset.

Computer software is capitalised on the basis

of the costs incurred to acquire and bring

to use the specific software. Amortisation

is provided on the cost of software and is

calculated on a straight-line basis over the

useful life of the software.

The following useful economic lives

are applied:

Platform development costs  5-10 years

New product development  1-5 years

Brands  5-20 years

Intellectual property

(including customer lists,

domain and trade names)  2-20 years

g. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated

at historic purchase cost less accumulated

depreciation. Cost includes the original

purchase price of the asset and the costs

attributable to bringing the asset to its working

condition for its intended use. Depreciation

is provided at the following annual rates in

order to write off each asset on a systematic

basis over its estimated useful economic life.

Depreciation is charged to the statement of

comprehensive income, classified in expenses

depending on the nature of the asset.

At each reporting date, property, plant and

equipment is reviewed for impairment if events

or changes in circumstances indicate that

the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

When a review for impairment is conducted,

the recoverable amount is assessed by

reference to the net present value of expected

future pre-tax cash flows of the relevant

cash-generating unit or fair value less costs

to sell if higher. Any impairment in value is

charged to profit or loss in the period in which

it occurs.

Plant and machinery  5-10 years

Fixtures and fittings  3-20 years

Computer equipment

and software  1-10 years

Freehold buildings  20-50 years

Motor vehicles  3-7 years

Leasehold  Lower of lease

improvements  term or asset life

h. Discontinued operations and

assets held for distribution

The Group classifies a component of its

business as a discontinued operation when it

has been disposed of or is classified as held

for distribution, and the disposal meets the

criteria for being a separate significant line of

business or geographical area of operations.

The post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued

operations is shown as a single line on the

face of the consolidated statement of profit or

loss, separate from the continuing operating

results of the Group. When an operation is

classified as a discontinued operation, the

comparative consolidated statement of profit

or loss is represented as if the operation

had been discontinued from the start of the

comparative year. Expenses are presented as

discontinued if they will cease to be incurred

on disposal of the discontinued operation.

A non-current asset (or disposal group) is

classified as held for distribution to owners

when the Group is committed to distribute

the asset (or disposal group) to the owners.

For this to be the case, the assets must be

available for immediate distribution in their

present condition and the distribution must

be highly probable.

#### Notes to the consolidated financial statements conti nued

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

124

![]()

The Group measures a non-current asset

(or disposal group) classified as held for

distribution to owners at the lower of its

carrying amount and fair value less costs to

distribute. No depreciation or amortisation

is charged in respect of non-current assets

classified as held for distribution once the

classification has been made.

i. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred in relation to bringing

into use qualifying tangible and intangible

assets are capitalised as the expenditure is

incurred on such assets and subsequently

depreciated in line with the useful economic

life of the relevant asset.

j. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost

and net realisable value. For the majority of

inventory this is on an average cost basis.

The remainder is measured on a standard

cost basis. Cost of purchase comprises the

purchase price including import duties and

other taxes, transport and handling costs and

any other directly attributable costs, less trade

discounts. A provision is made to write down

any slow-moving or obsolete inventory to net

realisable value.

k. Financial instruments

The following are deemed to be financial

assets and liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial

instruments, such as foreign currency and

interest rate swaps, to hedge its foreign

currency and interest rate risks. Derivative

financial instruments are recognised initially

and subsequently at fair value. The gain

or loss on remeasurement to fair value is

recognised immediately in the statement

of comprehensive income. However, where

derivatives qualify for hedge accounting,

recognition of any resultant gain or loss

depends on the nature of the item being

hedged. The sale and purchase of derivative

financial instruments are non-speculative.

Cash flow hedges

Where a derivative financial instrument is

designated as a hedge against the variability

in cash flows of a recognised asset or liability,

or a highly probable forecast transaction,

any gain or loss on the effective part of the

derivative financial instrument is recognised in

other comprehensive income and accumulated

within the hedging reserve. The gain or loss

on any ineffective portion of the hedge is

recognised immediately in the statement of

comprehensive income. Hedge accounting is

discontinued when the hedging instrument no

longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,

expires, or is sold, terminated or exercised. The

cumulative gain or loss previously recognised

in the hedging reserve remains there until the

forecast transaction occurs. The cumulative

gain or loss in the hedging reserve is

transferred to the statement of comprehensive

income in the same period that the hedged

item affects profit or loss.

Gain or loss on a portion of a derivative

designated as a hedging instrument that

is excluded from that hedging relationship

is captured in the cost of hedging reserve.

The cost of hedging reserve comprises the

forward element of foreign exchange forward

contracts. These are recognised in other

comprehensive income, accumulated in the

cost of hedging reserve, and released to

profit or loss when the hedged item affects

profit or loss (including on repayment of the

hedged loan) or when the hedge relationship

is discontinued.

Convertible loan

Convertible loans are accounted for as

a financial instrument. Prior to certain

obligations being met ahead of conversion,

the convertible loan is recognised as a

liability and measured at present value. Upon

these obligations being met, the liability is

then derecognised and classified as equity.

Management consider the conditions

attached to the instrument entered into

during the year to be met, and as such, the

liability classification was extinguished and

subsequently recognised within equity.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-interest

bearing and are initially recognised at fair

value. Subsequently they are measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest

rate method less loss allowance. The Group

measures the loss allowance at an amount

equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

The Group holds a non-recourse factoring

arrangement whereby a proportion of its

receivables are sold to HSBC. The Group

does not retain ownership over the risks and

rewards associated with the receivables.

The arrangement includes an upfront

administration fee and a monthly non-recourse

fee of 0.07% of the aggregate balance of

the receivables in question. These amounts

have been recognised in the statement of

comprehensive income.

The non-recourse facility does not meet the

definition of loans and borrowings under IFRS.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at

bank and in hand and short-term deposits with

an original maturity of three months or less.

Cash and cash equivalents include amounts

receivable from banks and payment providers

for credit and debit card transactions which

clear the bank shortly after the transaction

takes place.

For the purposes of the consolidated

statement of cash flows, cash and cash

equivalents consist of cash and short-term

deposits, as defined, net of outstanding bank

overdrafts.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of

IFRS 9 are classified as financial liabilities

at amortised cost. The Group measures

contingent consideration liabilities at fair

value through profit and loss.

An amendment to IFRS 9, effective 1 January

2026, introduced an accounting policy choice

to derecognise financial liabilities settled

via an electronic payment system prior to

the settlement date if certain conditions

are met. The Group has chosen not to apply

this accounting policy option, and therefore

continues to derecognise such liabilities on

the settlement date.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are non-interest

bearing and are recognised initially at fair value

and subsequently measured at amortised cost

using the effective interest method. Within

trade and other payables, returns recognised

under IFRS 15 (representing the liability for

potential returns from customers) are captured

within accruals.

The Group has a supplier finance arrangement

in place to support the cash flow of its

external suppliers. The participation in the

arrangement is at the suppliers’ own discretion.

The funding is provided by two of the Group’s

relationship banks and gives certain suppliers

the flexibility to receive early payments on

specific invoices. All early payments are

processed by the funding bank and the Group

settles the original invoice amount with the

funders at the original invoice due date. The

Group does not provide any security to the

funding bank. All trade payables subject to

the supply finance agreement are included in

trade and other payables in the consolidated

statement of financial position and within

trade payables.

Bank borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are

initially recorded at fair value, which equals the

proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Finance charges, including premiums payable

on settlement or redemption and direct issue

costs, are accounted for using an effective

interest rate method and are added to the

carrying amount of the instrument to the

extent that they are not settled in the period

in which they arise.

l. Supplier income

Supplier income comprises retrospective

rebates and discounts. They are receivable in

respect of goods which have been sold and

are initially recognised as accrued income.

The retrospective rebates are analysed per

supplier basis and accrued income is adjusted

accordingly based on quarterly assessment

of variables impacting expected rebates. All

retrospective rebates and discounts received

and receivable are deducted from cost of sales

when the sale to the third party has been

completed.

m. Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer

goods or services to a customer for which

the Group has received consideration (or an

amount of consideration is due) from the

customer. If a customer pays consideration

before the Group transfers goods or services

to the customer, a contract liability is

recognised when the payment is made or

the payment is due (whichever is earlier).

#### Financial Statements

1. Accounting policies continued

m. Contract liabilities continued

Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue

when the Group performs under the contract.

n. Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception

whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That

is, if the contract conveys the right to control

the use of an identified asset for a period of

time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and

measurement approach for all leases, except

for short-term leases and leases of low-value

assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities

to make lease payments and right-of-use

assets representing the right to use the

underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets

at the commencement date of the lease

(i.e. the date the underlying asset is available

for use). Right-of-use assets are measured

at cost, less any accumulated depreciation

and impairment losses, and adjusted for any

remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost

of right-of-use assets includes the amount

of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct

costs incurred and lease payments made at

or before the commencement date, less any

lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a

straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease

term and the estimated useful lives of the

assets, as follows:

Plant and machinery  1-6 years

Motor vehicles  3-6 years

Buildings  1-28 years

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the

Group recognises lease liabilities measured

at the present value of lease payments to

be made over the lease term. The lease

payments include fixed payments (including

in-substance fixed payments) less any

lease incentives receivable, variable lease

payments that depend on an index or a rate

and amounts expected to be paid under

residual value guarantees. The lease payments

also include the exercise price of a purchase

option reasonably certain to be exercised

by the Group and payments of penalties for

terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects

the Group exercising the option to terminate.

In calculating the present value of lease

payments, the Group uses its incremental

borrowing rate at the lease commencement

date because the interest rate implicit in

the lease is not readily determinable. After

the commencement date, the amount of

lease liabilities is increased to reflect the

accretion of interest and reduced for the

lease payments made.

In addition, the carrying amount of lease

liabilities is remeasured if there is a

modification, a change in the lease term, a

change in the lease payments (e.g. changes

to future payments resulting from a change in

an index or rate used to determine such lease

payments) or a change in the assessment of

an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Group’s lease liabilities are included in

interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Short-term leases and leases of

low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease

recognition exemption to its short-term leases

(i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12

months or less from the commencement date

and do not contain a purchase option).

It also applies the lease of low-value assets

recognition exemption to leases that are

considered to be low value. Lease payments

on short-term leases and leases of low-value

assets are recognised as an expense on a

straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer

substantially all the risks and rewards

incidental to ownership of an asset are

classified as operating leases. Rental income

arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis

over the lease terms and is included in revenue

in the statement of profit or loss due to its

operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred

in negotiating and arranging an operating

lease are added to the carrying amount of the

leased asset and recognised over the lease

term on the same basis as rental income.

Contingent rents are recognised as revenue

in the period in which they are earned.

Dilapidations provisions

Dilapidations provisions relate to leased

properties. Dilapidations provisions are made

based on the best estimate of the likely

committed cash outflow and discounted to net

present value. The provision, when recognised,

increases the right-of-use asset. Dilapidations

provisions are expected to be used at or by the

end of the lease term.

o. Taxation

The tax expense included in the statement

of comprehensive income and statement

of changes in equity comprises current and

deferred tax.

Current tax is the expected tax payable

based on the taxable profit for the period

and the tax laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Management periodically evaluates positions

taken in tax returns with respect to situations

in which applicable tax regulation is subject to

interpretation. It establishes provisions where

appropriate, based on amounts expected to be

paid to the tax authorities.

Current and deferred tax is charged or credited

in the statement of comprehensive income,

except when it relates to items charged or

credited directly to equity, in which case the

current or deferred tax is also recognised

directly in equity.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences

between the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities in the financial statements and

the corresponding tax bases used in the

computation of taxable profit and is accounted

for using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised

for all taxable temporary differences and

deferred tax assets are recognised to the

extent that it is probable that taxable profits

will be available against which deductible

temporary differences can be utilised. Such

assets and liabilities are not recognised if the

temporary difference arises from goodwill or

from the initial recognition (other than in a

business combination) of other assets and

liabilities in a transaction that affects neither

the tax profit nor the accounting profit. The

carrying amount of deferred tax assets is

reviewed at each reporting date. The business

combinations in previous years have given rise

to deferred tax liabilities, as a result deferred

tax assets are recognised to the extent they

offset the corresponding liability. Deferred tax

is calculated at the tax rates (and laws) that

are expected to apply in the period when the

liability is settled, or the asset is realised.

Tax assets and liabilities are offset where there

is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax

assets against current tax liabilities and when

the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to

income taxes levied by the same taxation

authority on either the taxable entity or

different taxable entities and where there is an

intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

p. Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentational currency

Items included in the financial statements

of each of the Group’s entities are measured

using the currency of the primary economic

environment in which the entity operates

(“the functional currency”). The consolidated

financial statements are presented in sterling,

which is also the parent company’s functional

currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions denominated in foreign

currencies are translated into the functional

currency at the exchange rates prevailing on

the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated

in foreign currencies are translated into the

functional currency at the exchange date.

Exchange differences on monetary items are

taken to the statement of comprehensive

income.

#### Notes to the consolidated financial statements conti nued

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

![]()

Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities

of foreign operations are translated into the

presentational currency of the Group at the

rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting

date and their statements of comprehensive

income are translated at exchange rates

prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

The exchange differences arising on

translation for consolidation are recognised

in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

On disposal of a foreign operation, the

component of OCI relating to that foreign

operation is recognised in the statement of

comprehensive income.

q. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated

by dividing the profit or loss for the year

attributable to ordinary equity holders of the

parent by the weighted average number of

Ordinary Shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit

or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders

of the parent by the weighted average number

of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the year

plus the weighted average number of Ordinary

Shares that would be issued on conversion

of all the dilutive potential Ordinary Shares

into Ordinary Shares, to the extent that the

inclusion of such shares is not anti-dilutive.

r. Dividend liability

The prior year dividend liability is measured at

the fair value of the assets to be distributed

at the date the distribution is approved. The

liability is remeasured at each reporting

date and at the date of settlement, with any

changes in fair value recognised directly in

equity. On settlement, the difference between

the carrying amount of the asset distributed

and the amount of the dividend liability is

recognised in profit or loss.

s. Critical accounting judgements

and key sources of estimation

uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting

policies, management is required to make

judgements (other than those involving

estimations) that have a significant impact

on the amounts recognised and to make

estimates and assumptions about the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities that are

not readily apparent from other sources. The

estimates and associated assumptions are

based on historical experience and other

factors that are relevant. Actual results may

differ from these estimates. The estimates

and underlying assumptions are reviewed on

an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting

estimates are recognised in the period in

which the estimate is revised if the revision

affects only that period, or in the period of

the revision and future periods if the revision

affects both current and future periods.

The most critical accounting judgements or

key sources of estimation uncertainty are

detailed below.

Critical accounting judgements

Adjusted items

The identification of adjusted items depends

on management judgement in identifying and

quantifying amounts deemed to be adjusting

or not reflective of the underlying performance

of the Group. The key elements management

take into consideration include, but are not

limited to:

•

the underlying nature of the item;

•

whether management believe the item

is recurring in nature, or if it represents a

one-off distortion of the underlying results

of the business; and

•

significance of the item on the financial

results.

Where income streams can be segregated and

reliably measured in respect of adjusted costs,

these are disclosed accordingly.

Refer to note 4 for details of each class of

adjusted items.

Demerger – classification as held for

distribution

In the prior year, at 31 December 2024,

THG Ingenuity was classified as held for

distribution. The assessment was made in

accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets

Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

The key criteria for this classification was met

as the business was available for immediate

distribution and the transaction was highly

probably at the reporting date. The demerger

was completed on 2 January 2025 and on this

date, the assets and liabilities of THG Ingenuity

were derecognised from the Group’s balance

sheet, and the resulting gain on the demerger

was recognised in the financial statements for

the year ended 31 December 2025.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Inventory provisioning

The Group holds levels of stock sufficient to

meet the forecasted demand of its customers.

As part of this, a provision is recognised to

ensure that the balance sheet value of stock

held is at the lower of cost and net realisable

value in accordance with IAS 2.

As part of the provisioning process,

management’s consideration includes, but

is not limited to: age of stock, type of stock,

and inventory acquired through business

combinations. All of these positions are

variable in nature and management applies

judgement in concluding on the recoverable

value and changes to risk profiles which could

have a material impact on provisioning levels.

Refer to note 13 for further details on inventory.

A reduction of 10% in online sales selling

prices would impact the net realisable value

by c.£1m.

Impairment reviews – key estimates

and judgements

When a review for impairment is conducted,

the recoverable amount of the CGU

is determined based on the higher of

value-in-use calculations applying IAS 36 and

fair value less costs to dispose applying IFRS

13. The recoverable amount is calculated using

management’s assumptions and estimates.

The key estimates within the value-in-use

calculation are growth rates, margin forecasts

and discount rates applied. Refer to note 10 for

further details of calculations.

Other judgements and other sources of

estimation uncertainty

Climate change

In preparing the consolidated financial

statements management has taken into

consideration the impact of climate change.

Considerations include, but are not limited to:

•

the identification of costs which have been

committed and which have been included

within forecasts where appropriate,

including increased plastics and waste

taxes and levies;

•

the impact of climate change on a

number of key estimates which the Group

has included within forecasts where

appropriate, such as:

•

2. Segmental reporting and revenue

The Directors have concluded that for 2025, the Group’s continuing operations consist of two reportable segments: THG Beauty and THG Nutrition.

The 2024 reportable segments have been restated for consistency.

The Directors have assessed the criteria and considerations under IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ in order to identify operating segments within

the Group. During 2024, the Group made the decision to demerge THG Ingenuity. As a result and in accordance with IFRS 5, THG Ingenuity was

classified as a discontinued operation and has not been included in the note below, see note 12.2 for more information.

The following table describes the main activities for each reportable operating segment:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Segment | Activities |
| THG Beauty | A digital-first brand owner, retailer and manufacturer in the prestige beauty market, with a portfolio of own brands across |
|  | skincare, haircare and cosmetics. Through its retail websites, including Lookfantastic, Dermstore and Cult Beauty, it is a |
|  | route to market globally for third-party premium brands. |
| THG Nutrition | A group of digital-first nutrition brands, which includes the world’s largest online sports nutrition brand Myprotein and |
|  | its family of brands (Myvegan, Myvitamins, MP Activewear and MyPRO), with a vertically integrated business model |
|  | supported by global THG production facilities. |

Central costs relate primarily to the PLC Board remuneration, professional services fees, Group finance, M&A, risk (insurance) and governance costs

that are not recharged to the divisions as they principally relate to the operations of the PLC holding company.

The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the executive Board directors, who makes key operating decisions for the business. The CODM

receives daily financial information at the combined Group level, along with monthly information at a business level, and uses this information to

allocate resources, make operating decisions and monitor the performance of each of the businesses.

The measure of the Group’s profit or loss used by THG’s management team is Adjusted EBITDA comprising operating profit or loss adjusted for

interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, shared-based payments, profit on disposal of a subsidiary and adjusted items. This is reconciled to the

nearest IFRS measure (profit or loss before tax) in the below table.

1.  The segmental result for 2024 has been restated within the above table to provide a like-for-like comparison for 2025. Restatements have been made to reflect

the removal of discontinued categories as a separate segment. The combined result of these adjustments is that for 2024, segmental Adjusted EBITDA has been

restated as follows: THG Beauty by £(8.6)m, THG Nutrition by £(0.1)m and Central PLC by £nil.

The Group has provided an analysis of external revenue by region (by destination):

4. Adjusted items

Adjusted items represent material non-recurring items, including costs relating to acquisitions, disposals and significant strategic programmes,

some of which may span multiple reporting periods. These items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as management believe their inclusion

distorts the underlying trading performance. This is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by management and reported

to the Board.

1.  Cash adjusting items before tax total £14.3m (2024: £24.5m) reflecting the total cash before tax expected to be paid. This differs from the consolidated statement of

cash flows which also reflects the timing of such payments. Cash paid in 2025 totalled £17.8m.

Revenue and costs relating to the outcome of the strategic review of loss-making brands and

#### emerging territories

In 2025, the Group initiated a strategic review of the operating models within THG Nutrition’s Asia and India operations, as well as the THG

Beauty Brands portfolio. The review focused on territories and brands identified as emerging or loss-making given the challenging commodity

and macroeconomic backdrop. As a result, strategic changes have been implemented across these operating models to improve profitability and

customer experience. The incremental costs and revenue received associated with the previously adopted models have been recorded within

adjusted items on the basis that the strategic change represents a reset to underlying revenue and costs. Costs included within cost of sales

relate to stock provisions required to reduce stock to its net realisable value as part of the strategic change alongside the incremental costs

that will not recur under the new models. Administrative costs include the costs of advisers and contractors supporting the strategic transition.

These items are one-off in nature and are not expected to recur following the embedding of the new operating models within 2026.

Within administrative costs, the comparative costs relate to costs recognised following management’s decision to consolidate its previously

acquired warehouses into the existing THG network. These are costs incurred to relocate stock across the fulfilment network, restructuring costs

associated with the dual running of facilities, severance payments, and other third-party costs such as rent and utilities.

#### Loss on disposal arising from the exit of discontinued or loss-making categories

Consistent with the Group’s ongoing commitment to simplify and streamline operations as part of the strategic review of loss-making categories

and territories, several actions concluded in 2024 with some spanning into 2025.

This includes the sale of some non-core brands and product offerings across THG Beauty. These costs are deemed to be one-off losses to enable

and complete the exit of loss-making areas of the business which resulted in an inventory provision adjustment within cost of sales and asset

impairments within administrative costs to reflect the assets’ recoverable value. In 2024, these costs included the sale of its portfolio of luxury

goods websites (previously THG Luxury) along with some non-core brands and product offerings across THG Beauty and THG Nutrition.

Inventory provision following strategic review and commercial rebrand

In H2 2023, Myprotein initiated a comprehensive global rebrand, reflecting a pivotal change in strategy aimed at broadening the accessibility of its

products. The Group’s commitment to sustainability, notably reducing waste, underpinned this phased rebrand which spanned several months. This

allowed for the trade through of old brand packaging and drove minimal disposal of stock. Where possible, stock was sold through in line with this

strategy; however, for items that could not be sold, primarily clothing, a one-off stock provision was recognised for discontinued or obsolete items

as part of adjusting items, as these costs are not indicative of the Group’s underlying trade as discounts and marketing expenses associated with

the clearance of associated stock would typically not be incurred. Some similar costs have also been incurred in 2025 as part of the finalisation of

the rebrand, mainly in relation to the vertically integrated supply chain. The rebrand is now complete and no costs are expected in 2026.

#### Transportation, delivery and fulfilment costs

The conflict in Israel has disrupted international logistics routes, resulting in higher transportation and fulfilment costs as the war continues, which

are not fully passed on to customers. The residual expense is therefore over and above those incurred through the normal course of business.

#### Impairment of assets – THG Experience

In 2024, the decision to pause refurbishment work on an asset within THG Experience led to an impairment. In 2025 a further impairment of

£0.6m has been charged, following a formal appraisal completed in the year in respect of the expected cost of returning the property at the end

of the term.

#### Impairment of assets – discontinued categories

Following the decision to discontinue certain beauty brands in 2024 an impairment was charged in the prior year totalling £57.5m. In the current

year, an additional impairment totalling £8.9m has been recognised to write down the assets discontinued to £nil.

#### Loss on property portfolio restructure

Following a Group review of properties held within its portfolio, leased properties no longer in use have been sold or repurposed. Where vacated

properties are retained, unavoidable costs relating to these sites are incurred over the remaining life of the lease and will continue to be classified

as adjusted items. These remaining lease terms range from two to nine years.

#### Restructuring costs

Consistent with the strategic review, the Group continues to explore and implement corporate restructuring and evolve its internal operations

where sustainable alternatives are identified. As part of this, the costs incurred are attributable to employee-related severance as part of specific

operational restructuring projects as efficiencies are implemented across the business, notably as AI enables automation. The costs of the

restructuring programme were offset by the annualised saving within six months. These projects, and the costs attached, are expected to be

completed within a 12-month period. The costs have been classified as adjusted items due to the scale of the restructuring undertaken during

the year.

#### Acquisitions – restructuring and integration

Costs incurred relate to mergers and acquisitions with the comparative being the costs for the integration of Biossance, which was acquired in

December 2023, into the existing THG network. These costs have been incurred from the point of initial acquisition through to completion of the

integration of the businesses. Given the nature of these costs, it is not unusual for these to span more than one accounting period depending on

the date of acquisition and the time required for the integration to be completed.

#### Onerous contracts

The comparative costs related to a sponsorship agreement the Group entered into in 2023 and an aborted implementation of a Human Resources

enterprise reporting platform (ERP) system, both of which had not delivered the expected commercial returns and were concluded as onerous.

No further costs were incurred in 2025.

#### Other legal and professional revenue and costs

The Group incurs legal and professional costs that are non-recurring, one-off in nature and not related to trading activities. These costs are

included as adjusted items and can include, but are not limited to, legal costs for one-off matters and other fees associated with investor activities.

The legal and professional costs incurred during 2025 include fees relating to the refinancing completed in the year, other adviser fees for one-off

projects and costs of refunds to customers processed through revenue. The legal and professional costs incurred during 2024 relate to the

transfer to the equity shares (commercial companies) (“ESCC”) category of the Official List.

7. Share-based payments

#### Overview

The Group operates a share-based compensation plan, under which the Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity

instruments (options) of the Company. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the equity instruments is

recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income with the corresponding increase to equity.

#### Previously issued plans

Senior Leadership Plan

Under the Senior Leadership Plan (“SLT Plan”), share options of the parent are granted to senior executives of the Company, including members of

key management personnel. The awards vest in three equal tranches, annually on 31 December over the three years from grant date. Performance

conditions and targets linked to ESG are attached to a small proportion of the awards to a small number of participants. The fair value of the share

options is the market price of the underlying shares on the grant date. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The Group does not have a past

practice of cash settlement for these options. The Group accounts for the SLT as an equity-settled plan.

Employee Plan

Under the Employee Plan, the Group, at its discretion, may grant share options of the parent to employees other than senior executives. The option

awards will vest in three equal tranches annually on 31 December over the three years from grant date, provided participants remain in continued

employments with the Company at each date. A small number of shares vested in full on 31 December following issue. The fair value of the share

options is the market price of the underlying shares on the grant date.

The contractual term of the share options is three years and there are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Group does not have

a past practice of cash settlement for these awards. The Group accounts for the Employee Plan as an equity-settled plan.

#### Plans issued in the year

A total of 9,585,327 shares were issued in the 12 months to 31 December 2025. The shares issued during the year are as follows:

•

On 12 August 2025, a total of 115,526 options were granted and vested on the same date.

•

On 3 December 2025, a total 9,469,801 options were granted. The vesting conditions are as follows:

•

9,469,801 awards that vest in three equal tranches, with the first being 31 December following the date of grant. The second and third

tranches for each separate grant will vest on 31 December in the following two years respectively;

|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Expense arising from equity-settled share-based payment transactions | 7,903 | 16,579 |

The following table shows the shares granted and outstanding at the beginning and end of the year:

|  |  |  |  |  |

| As at 1 January | 88,454,894 | £0.04 | 68,718,060 | £0.04 |
| Granted during the year | 9,585,327 | £0.00 | 33,574,120 | £0.02 |
| Forfeited during the year | (6,362,060) | £0.04 | (3,854,758) | £0.00 |
| Exercised during the year | (21,647,590) | £0.02 | (9,982,528) | £0.00 |
| As at 31 December | 70,030,571 | £0.04 | 88,454,894 | £0.04 |
| Exercisable as at 31 December | 56,797,472 | £0.05 | 6,072,570 | £0.00 |

The key inputs to calculate the charge are the share price at the date of grant and an assumption around those not remaining in continued

employment, spread across the vesting period. Achievement of performance conditions has been considered where appropriate. The range of

exercise prices are £0.00 to £0.16 (2024: £0.00 to £0.16), and the weighted average remaining contractual life is 7.5 years (2024: 8.3 years).

The weighted average share price at date of exercise of shares exercised during the year was £0.35 (2024: £0.60).

| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Loss before taxation from continuing operations | (69,383) | (202,400) |
| Profit/(loss) before taxation from discontinued operations | 117,800 | (120,840) |
| Profit/(loss) before taxation | 48,417 | (323,240) |
| Tax at statutory rate of 25.0% (2024: 25.0%) | 12,104 | (80,810) |
| Tax effects of: |  |  |
| Adjustments in respect of prior year | (963) | (353) |
| Expenses not deductible | 625 | 17,011 |
| Disposal/demerger of subsidiary entities | (44,986) | — |
| Recognised previously unrecognised deferred tax asset | — | (3,700) |
| Effect of tax rates in other jurisdictions | (326) | 650 |
| Write down of previously recognised deferred tax asset | — | 26,429 |
| Amounts not recognised | 29,198 | 40,251 |
| Change in recognition of share scheme attributes | (1,360) | 3,422 |
| Total income tax (credit)/expense | (5,708) | 2,900 |
| Total income tax (credit) – continuing operations | (5,708) | (21,867) |
| Total income tax expense – discontinued operations | — | 24,767 |

The main rate of corporation tax in the UK is 25.0%, as this is the rate of UK corporation tax with effect from 1 April 2023. The effective tax rate of

-8.2% (2024: -0.9%) differs from the average statutory rate of 25.0%. This is primarily due to amounts not recognised and the disposal/demerger

of subsidiary entities.

There are amounts not recognised relating primarily to additional tax losses arising in the period, with limited additional taxable temporary

differences being generated totalling £29.2m.

Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The legislation was effective

for the Group’s financial year beginning 1 January 2025.

The Group has performed an assessment of the Group’s potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. This assessment is based on the most

recent information available regarding the financial performance of the constituent entities in the Group. Based on management’s assessment of

the legislation enacted or substantively enacted as at 31 December 2025 in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, the potential exposure

to Pillar Two top-up taxes is expected to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no current tax expense relating to

Pillar Two top-up taxes has been recognised in the year ended 31 December 2025.

Consideration of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite life are subject to annual impairment testing, or more frequently if there are indications

of impairment.

Intangible assets and goodwill are reviewed by assessing the appropriate cash-generating units (“CGUs”) annually, which are identified based on

the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows largely independently.

As at 31 December 2025, the Directors have concluded that there are three (2024: four) CGUs within THG, being THG Beauty, THG Nutrition

and certain assets of THG Experience.

Goodwill has arisen from previous business combinations across the Group and is allocated to the CGUs that are expected to benefit from

synergies of those acquisitions. The recoverable amounts of these CGUs are the higher of fair value less costs to dispose (“FVLCTD”) and

value-in-use (“VIU”).

Management has reviewed each CGU in turn and has adopted the VIU approach for THG Beauty, THG Nutrition and certain assets of

THG Experience. Following the decision to discontinue certain beauty brands in 2024 an impairment was charged in the prior year totalling £57.5m.

In the current year, an additional impairment totalling £8.9m has been recognised to write down the assets discontinued to £nil.

10. Intangible assets continued

THG Beauty – Goodwill totalling £280.6m (2024: £296.5m)

For THG Beauty, consistent with the prior year, management has estimated a VIU using a discounted cash flow method.

The key assumptions made are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Key assumption |  |
| Discount rate | The post-tax discount rate used is 9.3% (pre-tax rate 10.0%). |
| Forecast cash flows | Forecasts are based on assumptions from the Board-approved budget with projections covering a five-year period. |
|  | The key assumptions within the cash flow forecasts are the future revenue growth and EBITDA margin. The projections |
|  | are based on the best estimate of future cash flows, taking into account externally available expectations that the beauty |
|  | and online markets will continue to grow at a medium single-digit rate. During the year, THG Beauty has performed in line |
|  | with the normalised expected range for both sales and EBITDA and therefore, coupled with the shift in strategy and the |
|  | medium-term growth outlook for the prestige beauty market, the Directors believe the forecasts are both reasonable |
|  | and consistent. |
| Long-term | A long-term growth rate of 3.0% was used for cash flows after the five-year period which is based on long-term growth |
| growth rate | rate across the beauty market. |

No impairment has been recognised in respect of THG Beauty.

Management has performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions in the impairment model using reasonably possible changes in these

assumptions. There are possible downside risks across the five-year forecast period, including if there was a 5.0% reduction in revenue per annum

this would lead to a reduction in headroom of £61m; an EBITDA margin reduction of 50bps per annum, £80m; and an increase in discount rate

of 1.0%, £155m. None of these scenarios in isolation completely eliminated the headroom. Mitigations to these scenarios include: refinements

to the operating model to optimise margins and cash generation and a continued focus on higher-margin more profitable sales following the

discontinuation of certain business operations in the prior year. The model is not sensitive to reasonably possible changes in assumptions in

isolation, however, management consider that a combination of reducing revenue by 10% per annum and EBITDA margin by 140 bps per annum

into perpetuity would eliminate headroom. The aforementioned scenario does not reflect the potential mitigations including cost reduction and

margin enhancement.

THG Nutrition – Goodwill totalling £100.5m (2024: £132.7m)

The key assumptions used within the VIU calculation are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Key assumptions |  |
| Discount rate | The post tax discount rate used is 8.9% (pre-tax rate 9.6%). |
| Forecast cash flows | Forecasts are based on assumptions from the Board-approved budget with projections covering a five-year period. The |
|  | key assumptions within the forecasts are the future revenue growth and EBITDA margin and are in line with market-wide |
|  | forecast growth projections. |
| Long term | A long-term growth rate of 3.0% was used for cash flows after the five-year period which is based on the long-term |
| growth rate | growth rate across sports and nutrition retailing. |

No impairment has been recognised in respect of THG Nutrition.

Management has performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions in the impairment model using reasonably possible changes in these

assumptions. The model is not sensitive to key assumptions in isolation or in combination and therefore there is no reasonably possible scenario

that would result in an impairment. Management consider that a combination of reducing revenue by 38% and EBITDA by 36% per annum into

perpetuity would eliminate headroom across the five-year forecast period. THG Nutrition’s historic revenue performance and the current market

outlook and projections provide reasonable, measured assurance that there is remote possibility of performance dropping by such significant

levels for the headroom to be eliminated.

Management has therefore concluded that there are no reasonably possible changes in key assumptions that would lead to an impairment.

THG Experience – Goodwill totalling £nil (2024: £nil)

Following the impairment charge recognised in the prior year, an additional impairment of £0.6m has been recognised in the current year relating

to the same asset. The charge has been recognised within adjusted items. See note 4 for more information.

#### Financial Statements

12.1 Disposal of Claremont Ingredients

On 6 August 2025, the Group announced that it had agreed to sell its wholly owned subsidiary, Claremont Ingredients, to the Nactarome Group for

proceeds of £102.8m. The transaction completed on 3 September 2025. This divestment is a part of the Group’s strategy to simplify its operations

and expedite progress towards a net cash balance sheet. Claremont Ingredients does not represent a major line of business or geographical area

of operations for the Group. Accordingly, the disposal does not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5, and

the results of the subsidiary remain presented within continuing operations. The final gain on disposal incorporates the outcome of the completion

accounts process with adjustments finalised and approved in H2 2025.

| Less: disposal-related fees | (268) |
| Gain on disposal | 60,537 |

12.2 Discontinued operations

On 17 September 2024, the Group announced its intention to demerge THG Ingenuity from THG PLC into an independent private company.

Shareholder approval was obtained on 27 December 2024 and, therefore, the Group believed that it was highly probable that the transaction

would complete within 12 months from the date of the announcement. Therefore, THG Ingenuity was classified as a disposal group held for

distribution and discontinued operations from that date. Upon demerger, THG Ingenuity included THG Experience, which had previously been

reported as part of the THG Beauty segment. The demerger successfully completed on 2 January 2025.

As at 31 December 2024, the disposal group comprised £762.4m of assets held for distribution and £589.7m of liabilities held for distribution,

which were presented separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheet as required by IFRS 5. A dividend liability of £501.3m was

recognised within the statement of financial position at 31 December 2024. The dividend liability was settled on the date of the demerger on

2 January 2025. Included within the discontinued operations within the statement of comprehensive income is the final gain on distribution net of

tax of £117.8m. The gain represents the difference between the fair value of THG Ingenuity at the demerger date and the carrying amount of the net

assets distributed. The final gain incorporates the outcome of the completion accounts process under the demerger agreement, with adjustments

finalised and approved in early H2 2025.

The gain on distribution is summarised as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | £’000 |
| Fair value of THG Ingenuity | 501,331 |
| Less: carrying value of net assets and liabilities held for distribution | (172,697) |
| Less: amounts relating to the finalisation of the demerger agreement in 2025  1 | (89,377) |
| Less: intercompany receivable due from THG PLC  2 | (121,457) |
| Gain on distribution | 117,800 |

1.  The demerger completed on 2 January 2025 with a number of obligations arising on that date which have been recognised in discontinued operations for the

year ended 31 December 2025. We have concluded that the recognition trigger for these expenses occurred on at the date of the demerger (2 January 2025)

and therefore have been recognised within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in 2025.

2.  The carrying value of the net assets and liabilities held for distribution excludes intergroup balances that are eliminated on consolidation. The carrying value of

assets distributed as part of the THG Ingenuity business also included £121m of intergroup receivables.

13. Inventories

| Goods in transit | 4,884 | 4,537 |
|  | 272,839 | 265,371 |

Goods in transit relate to goods whose control is still to be transferred to the customers as of the reporting date. The cost of inventories recognised

as an expense and included in cost of sales amounted to £1,016.4m (2024: £1,017.1m). The value of inventories written down and recognised as an

expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the year was £12.4m (2024: £38.5m), including adjusted items. Within goods held for resale

is a £1.3m (2024: £1.3m) right to recover asset which represents the carrying value of inventory expected to be received back from customers

as returns.

Financial instruments included within current assets and liabilities, excluding borrowings, are generally short-term in nature and accordingly their

fair values approximate to their book values. Bank borrowings are initially recorded at fair value net of direct issue costs.

The derivative financial instruments designated as hedging instruments have been recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Hedging instruments used are measured based on observable inputs and have been classified at Level 2 hierarchy level in line with IFRS 13 ‘Fair

Value Measurement’.

The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange, interest rate, and cash

flow contracts are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Group uses the hypothetical derivative method

and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the

hedged risks. All the hedging activities and derivatives are established to be effective. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material

effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Group regularly forecasts cash flows and maintains an appropriate balance of cash and debt facilities to ensure that sufficient funds are

available to cover future expenses and capital expenditure.

The Group held €445m notional of forward contracts expiring in December 2026 and €450m notional of interest swaps expiring in December

2026. Maturity of the Group’s derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities are given below.

The Group has a supplier finance arrangement in place to support the cash flow of its external suppliers. The participation in the arrangement is at

the suppliers’ own discretion. The funding is provided by one of the Group’s relationship banks and gives certain suppliers the flexibility to receive

early payments on specific invoices. All early payments are processed by the funding bank and the Group settles the original invoice amount with

the funders at the original invoice due date. The Group does not provide any security to the funding bank. Included within trade payables is £32.4m

(2024: £44.8m) due to suppliers that participate in the Group’s supply chain financing agreement. The agreement does not change the suppliers’

agreed payment terms directly with the Group. Management doesn’t consider the supplier finance agreement to result in liquidity risk .

#### Financial Statements

14. Financial assets and liabilities continued

#### Liquidity risk continued

In the prior year, to further support cash flow initiatives, the Group entered into a £30m non-recourse factoring arrangement during the year

whereby a proportion of its receivables are sold to HSBC. This factoring arrangement remains in place in the current year. The Group does not

retain ownership over the risks and rewards associated with the receivables.

Undiscounted bank borrowings disclosed in the table above include variable-rated interest which is based on the level of the index at the

reporting date.

There is no material difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the bank borrowings.

Foreign currency risk

The Group trades internationally and is exposed to exchange rate risk on purchases (euro, US dollars, and Polish zloty) and sales (primarily in euro

and US dollars). The Group’s results are presented in sterling and are thus exposed to exchange rate risk on translation of foreign currency assets

and liabilities.

The Group’s approach to managing foreign exchange risk is to designate cash flow hedges across a combination of forwards and spot

transactions, whose fair value is based on the observable market value of the respective instrument, taking into account foreign exchange rates

and market volatility at the balance sheet date.

The Group is also exposed to EUR:GBP exchange rate risk on a €445m loan within the Group and mitigates this risk through the use of hedging

instruments in the form of FX forward contracts.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group held €445m notional of forward contracts expiring in December 2026.

The Group’s foreign exchange exposure is predominantly euro, US dollars, Polish zloty and Japanese yen. If the closing exchange rate was 5%

higher/lower, the Group’s statement of comprehensive income would be impacted as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | Effect on | Effect on | Effect on | Effect on |
|  | Change | change in | change in | change in | change in |

| 2024 | -5% | 237 | (2,470) | 652 | — |

1.  If the closing exchange rate was 5% higher/lower, the impact on Group equity would be £14.9m (2024: £1.6m) reflecting the impact of the derivative hedges

associated with the €445m Term Loan B.

2.  If the closing exchange rate was 5% higher/lower, the impact on Group equity would be £26.4m (2024: £32.0m) reflecting the impact of the substantial other

intangible assets denominated in USD.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to EURIBOR and SONIA through its loan facilities and has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements to mitigate

this risk. As of 31 December 2025, the Group held €450m expiring December 2026. Interest rate sensitivity is summarised in note 18.

The Group’s financial risks are detailed on pages 60 to 69 in this Annual Report.

Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities

The changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are presented below:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

1.  The opening balances for the lease liabilities as at 1 January 2025 exclude an amount of £267.9m allocated to the disposal group classified as held for distribution

as at 31 December 2024.

Balances and movements in respect of the total Group are presented to allow reconciliation to the Group cash flow statement.

The ‘Other’ column includes the effect of accrued interest on interest-bearing loans and borrowings, including lease liabilities and the effect of

prepaid loan fees. The Group classifies interest paid as cash flows from financing activities.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables. The Group monitors and reviews exposure to credit risk

on an ongoing basis and makes best efforts to ensure recoverability of amounts owed to the Group. Information about the credit risk exposure on

the Group’s trade receivables is disclosed in note 15.

15. Trade and other receivables

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Trade receivables | 38,252 | 34,578 |
| Less: loss allowance | (222) | (1,122) |
| Net trade receivables | 38,030 | 33,456 |
| Prepayments | 16,063 | 13,253 |
| Accrued income | 18,055 | 22,875 |
| Other taxation and social security | 2,170 | 40,374 |
| Other receivables | 32,373 | 37,314 |
|  | 106,691 | 147,272 |

Trade and other receivables are principally denominated in sterling.

At 31 December 2025, there were 159,176,306 fully vested, but partly paid and unlisted shares (31 December 2024: 159,293,306). The average

amount of unpaid share capital per fully vested but partly paid and unlisted Share is £0.17 (2024: £0.17) representing a receivable to the Group of

£27.7m (2024: £26.3m). The amount is included within other receivables. The movement in the year is all due to certain fully vested but partly paid

and unlisted shares being paid-up and converted to Ordinary Shares.

During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group entered into a £30m non-recourse factoring arrangement whereby receivables are sold to

HSBC. This factoring arrangement remains in place in the current year. The Group does not retain ownership over the risks and rewards associated

with the receivables.

VAT tribunal – protein powders (contingent asset)

The Group has raised Error Correction Notices to HMRC regarding the VAT treatment of certain protein powder products. A favourable ruling could

generate an estimated benefit in excess of £60m. However, under IAS 37, contingent assets may only be recognised when the inflow of economic

benefits is virtually certain. As HMRC have not provided a conclusion, we have concluded this criteria is not met at 31 December 2025. No asset

has therefore been recognised yet.

15. Trade and other receivables continued

At 31 December 2025, the ageing of trade receivables of continuing operations was as follows:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £,000 |
| Not due | 31,409 | 23,039 |
| 0 to 3 months overdue | 5,536 | 3,946 |
| More than 3 months overdue | 1,307 | 7,593 |
|  | 38,252 | 34,578 |

The movement in the loss allowance of trade receivables of continuing operations was as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | £’000 |
| At 1 January 2025 | 1,122 |
| Charge for the year | 130 |
| Released | (159) |
| Utilised | (846) |
| Foreign exchange movement | (25) |
| At 31 December 2025 | 222 |

The Group’s credit risk exposure on trade receivables of continuing operations using a provision matrix is as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | 0-30 | 31-60 | 61-90 | 90+ |  |
|  | Current | days | days | days | days | Total |
| Expected credit loss rate | 0.49% | 0.52% | 0.54% | 0.57% | 0.64% |  |
| Estimated total gross carrying  amount at default | 31,409 | 3,026 | (153) | 2,663 | 1,307 | 38,252 |
| Expected credit loss | (178) | (18) | 1 | (17) | (10) | (222) |
| At 31 December 2025 | 31,231 | 3,008 | (152) | 2,646 | 1,297 | 38,030 |

The Group has adopted IFRS 9 applying the simplified approach to measure the expected credit losses. This uses a lifetime expected loss

allowance for all trade receivables. No provision is required in respect of accrued income.

16. Cash and cash equivalents

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 183,099 | 308,622 |

Cash and cash equivalents includes amounts receivable of £1.3m (2024: £1.8m) from banks and £8.8m (2024: £9.9m) from payment providers, for

credit and debit card transactions. Such amounts clear the bank shortly after the transaction takes place.

17. Trade and other payables

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Trade payables | 333,911 | 246,035 |
| Accruals | 111,041 | 69,007 |
| Other taxation and social security | 19,880 | 27,485 |
|  | 464,832 | 342,527 |

The Directors consider the carrying amount of trade and other payables approximates to their fair value when measured by discounting cash flows

at market rates of interest as at the balance sheet date.

Accruals increased during the year primarily as a result of the demerger, following which THG Ingenuity provides services to the Group on a third-

party basis. The increase mainly relates to amounts accrued in respect of THG Ingenuity service charges at the reporting date.

Included within trade payables is £32.4m (2024: £44.8m) due to suppliers that participate in the Group’s supply chain financing agreement.

The participation in the arrangement is at the suppliers’ own discretion. The funding is provided by one of the Group’s relationship banks and gives

certain suppliers the flexibility to receive early payments on specific invoices. Supplier finance terms are not renegotiated as part of the agreement.

All early payments are processed by the funding bank and the Group settles the original invoice amount with the funders at the original invoice due

date. The Group does not provide any security to the funding bank.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Carrying amount of trade payables that are part of the Group’s supplier financial arrangement | 32,368 | 44,762 |
| Of which suppliers have received payment | 27,445 | 34,770 |

There were no significant non-cash changes in the carrying amount of the trade payables included in the Group’s supply chain

financing agreement.

18. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | Note | £’000 | £’000 |
| Current |  |  |  |
| Bank borrowings |  | 69,618 | 112,785 |
| Lease liabilities | 22 | 20,945 | 10,293 |
|  |  | 90,563 | 123,078 |
| Non-current |  |  |  |
| Bank borrowings |  | 360,742 | 491,782 |
| Lease liabilities | 22 | 109,868 | 31,077 |
|  |  | 470,610 | 522,859 |

Bank borrowings relate predominantly to the €445m Term Loan B, the undrawn £150m revolving credit facility and a new £64m uncommitted

asset-backed financing facility. In April 2025, the Group refinanced its long-term debt facilities, extending the Term Loan B to December 2029

and the £150m RCF to May 2029. The Term Loan A matured in October 2025, with £74m and £35m repaid in April and October 2025 respectively.

The revolving credit facility is provided by Barclays, HSBC, Santander, Citibank, NatWest and JPM. The Term Loan B carries an interest rate of 5%

plus EURIBOR and the revolving credit facility interest rate is SONIA. The floating element of the Term Loan B is hedged by interest rate derivatives.

Management note that EURIBOR is being reformed as a benchmark rate and are in dialogue with its lending and hedging partners to minimise

the impact on the Group as transition occurs. If interest rates moved by 100bps, the Group’s profit before tax would be c.£4.9m higher/lower

(2024: c.£5.1m) and the subsequent move on the derivative valuation would cause equity to be c.£3.8m higher/lower (2024: c.£7.3m) as a result

of the same move.

Under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, a borrower is required to assess whether the terms of an existing financial liability have been substantially

modified. This involves evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors. In making the assessment, management has applied the 10%

quantitative test (comparing the present value of the cash flows of the modified liability with those of the original liability). Although the facility

was amended, the overall changes to the cash flows were not considered substantial. Management has concluded that the amendments

represent a modification rather than the derecognition of the existing liability and recognition of a new loan. The existing financial liability

continues to be recognised, with modification gains or losses recognised in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

Net debt consists of loans and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents, defined as referenced in note 22. For the purpose of the Group’s

net debt calculation, loans that are denominated in foreign currency are translated at the effective hedged rate where applicable. Net debt is an

alternative performance measure and is not defined under IFRS. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure is included below:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Loans and other borrowings | (430,360) | (604,567) |
| Lease liabilities | (130,813) | (41,370) |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 183,099 | 308,622 |
| Sub-total | (378,074) | (337,315) |
| Adjustments: |  |  |
| Retranslate debt balance at swap rate where hedged by foreign exchange derivatives | 14,252 | (8,306) |
| Net debt | (363,822) | (345,621) |
| Net debt adjusted for demerger subleases | (363,822) | (422,521) |
| Net debt before lease liabilities | (233,009) | (304,251) |

The contractual maturity analysis of bank borrowings and lease liabilities is given in note 14.

| Current | 2,504 | 888 | 3,392 |
| Non-current | 14,228 | 1,643 | 15,871 |

Dilapidations provisions relate to leased properties. Dilapidations provisions are made based on the best estimate of the likely committed cash

outflow and discounted to net present value. Future costs are expected to be incurred over the term of the existing lease arrangements at the

reporting date, which is a period of up to 21 years.

19. Provisions continued

The following table shows the timeline in which undiscounted costs in relation to the dilapidation provision are expected to be incurred:

| At 31 December 2025 | 4,803 | 2,038 | 1,998 | 245 | 9,068 | 1,270 | 19,422 |
| At 31 December 2024 | 2,359 | 914 | 1,980 | — | 15,530 | — | 20,783 |

Onerous contracts relate to unavoidable costs arising where the Group no longer operates from leased properties. Unless a separate sublease or

exit agreement has been agreed with the landlord, the Group recognises a provision for the costs of meeting its contractual obligations, primarily

comprising service charges. These costs are recognised over the remaining contractual term of the lease. In addition, during 2023 the Group

entered into a sponsorship agreement with Williams Racing. The agreement did not generate the anticipated commercial returns and has therefore

been assessed as onerous. Under the terms of the contract, the Group was committed to annual sponsorship fees and associated termination

costs. Notice of termination was served, and the agreement was formally exited on 31 December 2025. A provision has been recognised for the

unavoidable costs arising under this contract up to the termination date. Onerous contracts also include unavoidable costs relating to the aborted

implementation of a payroll ERP system and a technology tool, which was originally intended to enhance revenue generation and customer

retention.

20. Contract liabilities

| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |

Contract liabilities are the consideration from the customers for sales where the Group still has an obligation to transfer goods or services, which

relate to THG Beauty and THG Nutrition. The unsatisfied performance obligations of £17.3m as at 31 December 2025 relate to prepaid customer

orders where delivery is expected to occur during 2026. 100% of the transaction price of the unsatisfied contracts as at 31 December 2024 was

recognised as revenue during 2025.

21. Deferred tax

The movement on the deferred tax liability during the year is as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | Total |
|  | £’000 |
| Opening balance 1 January 2025 | 59,629 |
| Credited to the statement of comprehensive income | (8,643) |

| Credited to OCI – exchange difference on translating foreign operations | (4,095) |
| Credited to OCI – loss in cash flow hedges | (1,811) |
| Movement arising from the acquisition or disposal of business | (1,276) |
| Closing balance 31 December 2025 | 43,804 |

Deferred tax assets have been recognised to the extent there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and liabilities, levied by

the same taxation authority. Due to the history of losses within the Group, no deferred tax assets have been recognised in respect of forecasted

future profits, with the exception of immaterial overseas deferred tax assets for which the entities operate at a set operating margin and so will be

profitable in future periods.

The Group has applied the exemption from recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two

income taxes as required in the amendments to IAS 12 International Tax reform to Pillar Two Model Rules, issued in May 2023.

There is a decrease in the unrecognised deferred assets compared to 2024 due to unrecognised deferred tax assets disposed of in the demerger,

with the exception of the loan relationships deferred tax asset which has always arisen in the remaining Group and has increased due to an

additional restriction in relation to interest payable but no corresponding increase in deferred tax liabilities against which the deferred tax asset

could be recognised.

No deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries as, where tax would

arise on the realisation of those temporary differences, the Group is in a position to control the timing of their reversal and it is probable that such

differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The maturity analysis of lease liabilities is disclosed in note 14.

The Group had total cash outflows for leases of £20.6m in 2025 (2024: £47.5m).

The increase in the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities during the year is primarily attributable to the sublease

arrangements put in place following the demerger; the sublease arrangements are discussed further in note 27.

The following are the amounts recognised in the year in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |

24. Pension commitments

During the year, the Group operated an auto-enrolment pension scheme. The scheme is managed by independent fund managers and the Group

contributes in accordance with the statutory requirements. In addition to the auto-enrolment scheme, a subsidiary company operates a defined

contribution pension scheme which is also managed by independent fund managers and its assets and liabilities are held separately from that

of the Group. The total Group pension charge represents the amount paid by the Group and for continuing operations amounted to £5.8m (2024:

£6.0m). £0.5m of contributions due to the fund were outstanding at year end (2024: £0.6m).

available in the future for the operating activities and settling capital commitments.

26. Earnings per share

The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
| Loss for the financial year – continuing operations (£’000) | (63,675) | (180,533) |
| Profit/(loss) for the financial year – discontinued operations (£’000) | 117,800 | (145,607) |
| Total profit/(loss) for the financial year (£’000) | 54,125 | (326,140) |
| Weighted average number of Ordinary Shares for basic and diluted EPS | 1,387,523,768 | 1,368,632,773 |
| Basic and diluted EPS (£’s) | 0.04 | (0.24) |
| Basic and Diluted EPS – continuing operations (£’s) | (0.04) | (0.13) |
| Basic and diluted EPS – discontinued operations (£’s) | 0.08 | (0.11) |

The basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the Group by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares

in issue. Loss per share has been calculated with respect to total loss for the year for the Group, including both continuing and discontinued

operations (see note 12.2).

The diluted loss per share has been calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares for the effects of the D, E, F and G Shares

assuming full vesting of all potentially dilutive shares. The number of these shares is disclosed in note 23.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are equal since the effect of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding was anti-dilutive.

In 2025, the Group provided interest-free loans to the Directors of £nil (2024: £0.6m) for them to subscribe for shares as part of the employee

benefit scheme. During the year the Group received £0.4m (2024: £nil) in relation to the repayment of these loans. At the balance sheet date

£0.5m (2024: £0.9m) remained outstanding in relation to these loans. Full details of the Directors’ shareholdings are detailed in the Directors’

Remuneration Report on page 100.

On 26 November 2025, the Company was notified of the transfer by FIC Shareco Limited, a company incorporated in Guernsey which is wholly

owned by the Group’s CEO of 181,818,181 ordinary voting shares of £0.005 each to FIC Shareco Limited, a company incorporated in the UK and

considered a related party by virtue of the Group’s CEO shareholding and control. In accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency

Rule, Matthew Moulding’s equity interest equates to 429,873,034 shares in the Company, being approximately 25% on a fully diluted basis,

comprising 307,682,946 ordinary voting shares and 122,190,088 unlisted Ordinary Shares, including all shares issued under previous incentive

arrangements.

Included within other receivables is unpaid share capital totalling £21.6m (2024: £21.6m) in respect of Directors’ interests.

Moulding Capital Limited (“Propco Group”) is wholly owned by the Group’s CEO. Propco owns property assets occupied and utilised by THG and

its operating businesses.

In previous years, the Group (through THG Ingenuity) had an agreement on commercial terms with Moulding Capital Limited to provide property,

facilities and project management services to the entity and its subsidiaries. This agreement ceased on demerger. Limited services provided are

recovered through the transitional services agreement with THG Ingenuity. Amounts totalling £372,442 (2024: £235,382) are recognised within

administrative expenses.

The amounts recognised on the Group’s balance sheet and in the income statement in relation to the leases with Propco Group in the period are

as follows:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | £’000 | £’000 |
| Right-of-use asset | 9,358 | 12,742 |
| Lease liability | 25,025 | 24,025 |

| Expense recognised in financing costs | 1,233 | 991 |
| Impairment arising on property, plant and equipment | 854 | 7,372 |

The number of leases between THG and Propco Group has decreased to ten (2024: 16) at 31 December 2025. The lease liability movement reflects

the unwinding of the finance costs.

The table below gives further detail around the leases in place during the year:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | Residual lease |  |
|  | term at | 2025 |
|  | date of | rent |
| Number of properties | divestment | £’000 |

| 9 | 9-10 years | 1,998 |
| 1 | 18-24 years | 738 |
| 16 |  | 3,096 |

The rent for 2026 will reduce by £0.4m following the exit of six leases during 2025.

The following table sets out the amounts payable to related parties which include balances in relation to lease agreements:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |

| Allenby Square Ltd | — | 2,400,000 |
| THG Gadbrook PropCo Ltd | — | 549,012 |
|  | — | 3,749,012 |

Following the demerger on 2 January 2025, THG Ingenuity is no longer part of the THG PLC Group; however, by virtue of the CEO’s shareholding

and control it is considered a related party. On 30 October 2025, THG Ingenuity updated its legal name of incorporation from The Hut.com Limited

to FIC Shareco Limited, a company incorporated in the UK.

THG PLC has a long-term service contract in place comprising: platform infrastructure and technology services, warehouse, fulfilment and courier

services, and marketing and content creation. The value of these services is expected to reduce from 2026 onwards.

The amounts recognised on the Group’s balance sheet and in the income statement in relation to the contract with THG Ingenuity in the period are

as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 |  | Proforma 2024  1 |  |
|  | Sale of | Purchase of | Sale of goods/ | Purchase of |

| THG Ingenuity | 9,365 | 495,425 | 12,278 | 506,681 |

1.  The 2024 sales and purchases to THG Ingenuity have been included on a proforma basis to provide a like-for-like comparison to the 2025 amounts. The purchases

year on year have decreased on this basis.

Goods and services are sold to and bought from related parties on normal commercial terms and conditions that would be consistent if this were a

third party.

During the year THG Ingenuity received cash for the sale of goods on behalf of the Group totalling £59.5m; under the agreement in place, this was

remitted back to the Group on a timely basis. Following the demerger, as expected, payments totalling £46.7m were made in the year in connection

with the demerger, with £20.9m included within trade and other payables at the balance sheet date which is expected to be settled during 2026.

In addition, subleases were put in place following the demerger reflecting THG PLC’s use of assets. The amounts recognised on the Group’s

balance sheet and in the income statement in relation to the leases with THG Ingenuity in the period are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | 2025 |
|  | £’000 |

On 24 March 2025, as part of the equity contribution surrounding the refinancing, the Group entered into a convertible loan agreement with FIC

Shareco Limited, a company incorporated in Guernsey which is wholly owned by the Group’s CEO. The convertible loan was initially recognised at

£67.5m. There was no interest charged on this loan, however, notional interest was charged in accordance with the relevant accounting standards.

On 8 December 2025, the convertible loan was extinguished in full by a conversion to 209,086,407 Ordinary Shares. At 31 December 2025, there

was no outstanding balance as a result of the transaction.

#### Financial Statements

#### Notes to the Company financial statements

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies have been

applied in accordance with ‘Financial Reporting

Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework’

(“FRS 101”) and are detailed below. The policies

have been applied consistently throughout

both the current and precedingyear.

a. Basis of preparation

The Company financial statements have been

prepared in accordance with United Kingdom’s

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,

including Financial Reporting Standard 101

Reduced Disclosure Framework (“FRS 101”),

and in accordance with the provisions of the

Companies Act 2006. The Company has taken

advantage of section 408 of the Companies

Act 2006 not to present the parent company

profit and loss account. The loss for the

financial year in the financial statements of

the Company is £19.4m (2024: £173.6m). The

financial statements have been prepared on

the historical cost basis.

In accordance with FRS 101, the Company has

taken advantage of the following disclosure

exemptions:

•

Company cash flow statement and

relatednotes

•

Disclosures required by IFRS 2 Share-based

Payments

•

Disclosures required by IFRS 7 Financial

Instrument Disclosures

•

Disclosure of Related Party Transactions

There have been no new or amended

accounting standards or interpretations

adopted during the year that have had a

significant impact on the Company’s financial

statements.

There are no standards, interpretations or

amendments to IFRS that have been issued

but are not yet effective that are expected

to have a material impact on the Company’s

financial statements.

b. Taxation and deferred taxation

Current tax including UK corporation tax is

provided at amounts expected to be paid or

recovered using the tax rates and laws that

have been enacted or substantively enacted

by the balance sheet date.

Deferred taxation is provided in full on timing

differences that result in an obligation at the

balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a

right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates

expected to apply when they crystallise based

on current tax rates and law.

Temporary differences arise from the inclusion

of items of income and expenditure in

taxation computations in periods different

from those in which they are included in the

financial statements. Deferred tax assets are

recognised to the extent that it is regarded

as more likely than not that they will be

recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

are not discounted.

c. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are

recognised on the Company’s balance sheet

when the Company becomes a party to the

contractual provisions of the instrument.

The most significant financial asset relates to

an intercompany debtor, representing funding

requirements within the Group. Management

have considered all aspects of IFRS 9 with

respect to recognising the appropriate value of

this financial instrument at the balance sheet

date, including credit risk, and have concluded

that this has not adversely changed since

initial recognition.

d. Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are

classified according to the substance of the

contractual arrangements entered. An equity

instrument is any contract that evidences a

residual interest in the assets of the Company

after deducting all its liabilities.

e. Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are held at cost,

less any provision for impairment. Where

equity-settled share-based payments are

granted to the employees of subsidiary

companies, the fair value of the award is

treated as a capital contribution by the

Company and the investments in subsidiaries

are adjusted to reflect this capital contribution

f. Share-based payments

The Group operates share-based

compensation plans, under which the

Group receives services from employees

as consideration for equity instruments

(options) of the Company. The fair value of

the employee services received in exchange

for the grant of the equity instruments is

recognised as an increase to investments in

the statement of comprehensive income. The

total charge is recognised over the vesting

period, which is the period over which all the

specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group

revises its estimates of the number of equity

instruments that are expected to vest based

on the non-market vesting conditions along

with taking account of any equity instruments

that may have been cancelled or modified

in the period. It recognises the impact of the

revision to original estimates, if any, in the

statement of comprehensive income with a

corresponding adjustment to equity. Note 7 in

the consolidated financial statements details

the schemes in place.

g. Dividends received

Dividends received from subsidiaries are

recognised in the statement of comprehensive

income when the right to receive payment

is established, unless the equity method is

used, in which case the dividend is recognised

as a reduction of the carrying amount of the

investment.

h. Dividend liability

The prior year dividend liability is measured at

the fair value of the assets to be distributed

at the date the distribution is approved. The

liability is remeasured at each reporting

date and at the date of settlement, with any

changes in fair value recognised directly in

equity. On settlement, the difference between

the carrying amount of the asset distributed

and the amount of the dividend liability is

recognised in profit or loss.

i. Critical accounting judgements

#### and key sources of estimation

#### uncertainty

Critical accounting judgements

Impairment of investments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s

investments are reviewed at each reporting

date to determine whether there is any

indication of impairment in accordance

with the accounting policy set out in note

1 of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company considers impairment of its

investments in subsidiaries by estimating the

recoverable amounts of its investments. In

performing this assessment, Management

have considered the cash flows at a Group

consolidated level adjusted for applicable

intercompany borrowings and external

borrowings net of cash held at a subsidiary

level. An impairment of £nil (2024: £552.9m)

has been recognised (see note 5 for more

information). Note 11 in the consolidated

financial statements details the assumptions

used together with an analysis of the

sensitivity to changes in key assumptions

which could impact the Group-level

assessment. There are no critical assumptions

in respect of the parent-level adjustments

which would reasonably change to the overall

assessment performed.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Recoverability of intercompany

receivables

The Company uses estimates to determine

the recoverability of amounts due from its

subsidiaries. Under IFRS 9, the carrying

amounts of receivables from other Group

subsidiaries are required to be assessed for

recoverability on a forward-looking basis

through the recognition of an expected

credit loss (“ECL”) provision. This requires the

estimation of loss given default (“LGD”) and

probability of default (“PD”) to compute the

ECL, which is deemed to reflect the risk over

recoverability of intercompany debtors.

The Group external credit risk ratings have

been used as the primary measure of PD.

Management consider this to be a reasonable

metric of the Company as a result of the

funding arrangements in place and as these

ratings provide an independent view as

to financial health and market sentiment,

including the impact of macroeconomic

factors.

THG PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025

156

![]()

Other sources of internal and external information are also used in determining the final PD applied, including financial forecasts, financing

arrangements and an assessment as to significant changes in credit risk and default events of each borrower.

Valuation of dividend liability

The prior year dividend liability is measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed at the date the distribution is approved. Determining the

appropriate valuation required judgement, including assessing the fair value of the business based on comparable transactions, market conditions,

and internal financial projections.

Impairment  — (552,882)

At 31 December 12,903 5,000

No impairment has been recognised in respect of fixed asset investments. The recoverable value for the investment in THG Intermediate Holdings

Limited was determined with reference to the recoverable amount of the Group’s trading entities, utilising the forecasts applied as part of Group

goodwill impairment assessments. The Group uses a five-year discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach for each of the businesses and this has

been used as the starting position for the amount available for distribution to the parent.

Appropriate adjustments have been made to these DCFs to determine the cash flows available to support the Group’s investments, including

deducting amounts receivable from the investment group, adding cash held in the investment group and deducting amounts payable by the

investment group to settle its external financing facilities.

This recoverable value has then been compared to the investment carrying values, resulting in no impairment being charged.

#### Alternative performance

#### measures (“APMs”)

The Group tracks a number of alternative

performance measures in managing its

business, which are not defined or specified

under the requirements of IFRS because

they exclude amounts that are included in, or

include amounts that are excluded from, the

most directly comparable measure calculated

and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are

calculated using financial measures that are

not calculated in accordance with IFRS.

The Group believes that these alternative

performance measures, which are not

considered to be a substitute for or superior

to IFRS measures, provide stakeholders

with additional helpful information on the

performance of the business. These alternative

performance measures are consistent with

how the business performance is planned

and reported within the internal management

reporting to the Board.

These alternative performance measures

should be viewed as supplemental to, but not

as a substitute for, measures presented in the

consolidated financial information relating to

the Group, which are prepared in accordance

with IFRS. The Group believes that these

alternative performance measures are useful

indicators of its performance.

However, they may not be comparable with

similarly titled measures reported by other

companies due to differences in the way they

are calculated. Profit-related APMs frequently

exclude significant recurring business

transactions (e.g. restructuring charges and

acquisition-related costs) that impact financial

performance and cash flows.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the overall

presentation of APMs to ensure that these

are not given undue prominence, challenged

the nature and amount of adjusting items

and evaluated the reconciliations used by

Management.

In determining whether an item should be

presented as an allowable adjustment to IFRS

measures, the Group considers items which

are significant either because of their size

or their nature, and which are non-recurring.

For an item to be considered as an allowable

adjustment to IFRS measures, it must initially

meet at least one of the following criteria:

•

It is a significant item.

•

It has been directly incurred as a result

of acquisition-related restructuring and

integration costs, transportation, delivery or

fulfilment costs in relation to one-off global

events or as part of the outcome of the

strategic review or divisional reorganisation.

•

It is unusual in nature or linked to a one-off

agreement signed outside of the normal

course of business.

#### Purpose

The Group uses APMs to improve the

comparability of information between reporting

periods, either by adjusting for uncontrollable

factors or special items which impact upon

IFRS measures.

Their use is driven by characteristics

particularly relevant to THG:

•

Adjustments to operating profit – the Group

has a significant non-current asset base

and consequently incurs a high proportion

of depreciation and amortisation. APMs

are used to provide adjusted measures

for users of the financial statements to

evaluate our operating performance.

•

Acquisition-related activity – the Group is

in a growth phase in its life cycle and has

made several acquisitions in the previous

reporting periods. Consequently, a high

volume of transaction, restructuring and

financing costs are incurred within the

Group which do not reflect its underlying

results.

Profit on disposal of subsidiaries

See the Chief Financial Officer’s Review

for a reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 included a

separate classification of discontinued

categories. This separate classification

has been removed in 2025.

EBITDA is a useful measure for investors

because it is a measure closely tracked by

Management to evaluate THG’s operating

performance and to make financial, strategic

and operating decisions and may help investors

to understand and evaluate, in the same

manner as Management, the underlying trends

in operational performance on a comparable

basis year on year.

Share-based payment costs are added back as

Management consider these to be outside of

the underlying day-to-day operations. Given the

material size of these charges they are removed

from underlying Adjusted EBITDA.

Free cash flow Cash flow

•

Debt (repayments)/proceeds

•

Refer to note 25 for further detail.

Free cash flow is a useful measure that is

closely tracked by Management in order to

evaluate and assess the profitability of the

business. The free cash flow calculation is

routinely reviewed by Management and forms

the basis of strategic decisions made in respect

of working capital management.

of the loans and other borrowings balances

and after retranslation of debt balance at swap

rate. Given a number of subleases were entered

into on demerger, this has also been reflected
