THG PLC on Tuesday reported lower revenue in the fourth quarter of last year, but it expects a jump in annual earnings and celebrated a new partnership with a long-established health food store chain.
THG, a Manchester-based e-commerce platform, said revenue fell 7.1% annually to £607.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
For all of 2023, revenue was down 8.7% to £2.04 billion from £2.24 billion in 2022.

Despite the revenue decline, THG expects 2023 continuing-operations adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of more than £117 million, up 32% from £88.9 million in 2022, and for group adjusted Ebitda to jump 75% annually from 2022’s £64.1 million.
THG also announced new and expanded partnerships with Holland & Barrett via THG Ingenuity, which it said will contribute around £175 million to gross merchandise value during 2024.
