Haleon plc is a British multinational consumer healthcare company with headquarters in Weybridge, England. It is the largest consumer healthcare business in the world,[3] with brands including Sensodyne toothpaste, Panadol and Advil painkillers and Centrum vitamins.[4] The company is a global leader in over the counter medicines with a 7.3 percent market share.[5]

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] 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".[9]

Unilever offered £50 billion for the business in 2022, in a bid which GSK rejected.[10] Nestlé examined the possibility of a bid in conjunction with Reckitt.[11]

Operations

Oral health accounted for 28.5 percent of revenue in 2021.[12]

Gross assets amounted to over £45 billion on 31 March 2022.[12]
