Haleon was established on 18 July 2022 as a corporate spin-off from GSK.[6]
Sir David Lewis is chairman, with Brian McNamara as CEO.[7] Haleon is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a component of the FTSE 100, with a secondary listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Annual sales amounted to around £10 billion across 120 markets in 2020.[5]
History
GSK and Pfizer merged their consumer healthcare businesses in 2019.[8][9] GSK owned just over two thirds of the joint venture, and Pfizer held the remainder.[8]
GSK announced plans to spin-off Haleon in 2018, in order to give the "tired drugmaker extra focus and firepower by gearing up and hiving off the consumer division".[10]
Unilever offered £50 billion for the business in 2022, in a bid which GSK rejected.[11] Nestlé examined the possibility of a bid in conjunction with Reckitt.[12]
A proposed $600 million spin-off of the ChapStick lip care brand was mooted in 2023.[13]
In October 2023, GSK reduced its ownership share in Haleon to just over 7.4%.[14]
Operations
Oral health accounted for 28.5 percent of revenue in 2021.[15]
Gross assets amounted to over £45 billion on 31 March 2022.[15]
