Disposal of Nasty Gal for $16m
Debenhams Group is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of the Nasty Gal brand, including the global intellectual property rights, to White Space Group New York, LLC, operating as WSG Brands ("WSG"), for a total cash consideration of US$16 million (the "Transaction").
Nasty Gal generated GMV of £12m in FY26 and Adjusted EBITDA of £0.4m. It is non-core and not material to the Group. The Transaction aligns with our strategy of transitioning to a marketplace-led business model that is capital-lite, and further strengthens the balance sheet following the £90m sale of the Group's Sheffield Distribution Centre, announced on 10 September 2026.
Dan Finley, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Our turnaround continues at pace. The disposal of this non-core asset aligns with our strategy and further strengthens the balance sheet following the £90m sale of our Sheffield Distribution Centre."
