Primark Potential Spin-Off and Annual Profits
Associated British Foods (AB Foods), the owner of Primark, is considering spinning off the retail chain from its food business after a drop in annual profits.
The company announced a review of its structure alongside its full-year financial results, which reported an adjusted pre-tax profit of £1.7bn for the year to September 13, a 13% decline compared to the prior year.
Sales across Primark grew by 1% year-on-year to £9.5bn, with stronger trading in the second half balancing out a weaker first half.
AB Foods told investors that no decision had been made but its review may result in separating Primark from the food business.
