THG Sells Claremont Flavor Lab for £103m

The sale will strengthen THG’s balance sheet as the group manages lower earnings caused by surging whey prices.

Overview

  • THG has sold Claremont Ingredients, its in-house flavor lab, to Nactarome Group for £103m.
  • The transaction secures a long-term supply contract to maintain flavor development for Myprotein.
  • Sale proceeds will go towards reducing the group’s net leverage and lowering borrowing costs.
  • Record-high whey prices drove half-year EBITDA down from £37.1m to £24m and prompted earnings forecast cuts of £5m for 2025 and £10m for 2026.
  • CEO Matthew Moulding publicly renewed accusations that investment bank Numis circulated false rumors to destabilize THG.
