Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for THG's half year results presentation.
As I said in the statement this morning, trading momentum continues to build positively with the strategic changes implemented last year across both THG beauty and THG nutrition now bearing results.
H1 was a performance of two halves. We entered the year following a period of focused execution, implementing significant strategic initiatives and model changes across the group, including the completion of the demerger of our tech and robotics division, Ingenuity.
In THG beauty, we disposed of some of our smaller operations, commenced the cycle of investment in our portfolio of own brands, and took the decision to prioritize retail trading in the UK and the US.
In THG nutrition, the Myprotein Global rebrand was a major talking point last year, and it's been important to gauge sentiment from existing D2C customers, new consumers, and our developing network of retail and licensed partners.
