Nick Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am delighted with our performance during the first half of 2021. To have executed our planned strategic portfolio
actions whilst delivering an excellent trading performance in ever changing market conditions is testament to the hard
work and capability of our colleagues across the Group.
I am particularly pleased with the agility that our teams have shown in responding to rapidly evolving market dynamics
whilst always maintaining their focus on customer, colleague and supplier safety.
This has been particularly noticeable in the Travis Perkins General Merchant where decisive actions taken during the
previous two years have enabled us to respond rapidly to customer needs at a local level. Toolstation UK, meanwhile,
is on course to deliver another excellent year of growth and our European rollout continues to gather pace.
Our businesses have continued to play a critical role in the construction sector's ongoing recovery and, while some
uncertainty still remains, the end markets for our trade-focused businesses remain robust.
As a result, I am cautiously optimistic around the outlook for the business and confident in our ability to make
further progress in the second half of the year. We look forward to updating shareholders on our future plans in
September."

Summary
The Group has made excellent progress during H1 2021, building on the decisive actions taken over the preceding two
years to strengthen the business and focus on the trade. The Group's end markets remain resilient, despite high levels
of uncertainty across the economy as a whole, and the Group's businesses have responded well to the challenging market
dynamics over the past six months.
The Wickes demerger was completed successfully, swiftly followed by the sale of the Plumbing & Heating business,
during a period where relentless focus was required on operational matters, in particular colleague, customer and
supplier safety.
Delivering a strong operational performance at the same time as managing significant portfolio change reflects the
talent and capability within the Group and the benefits of more focused management teams, enhanced communication and
local branches empowered to make decisions to meet changing customer needs.
Having maintained strong financial health through the pandemic, the Group remains well placed both to invest in growth
opportunities and to provide attractive returns. The Board is pleased to confirm the reinstatement of dividends with
the interim dividend at 12.0 pence per share. In addition, the net proceeds of the Plumbing & Heating segment disposal
will be returned in full to shareholders.
Business performance
The Group delivered a strong performance in the first half of the year with revenue of £2,299m in its continuing
businesses*, up 37.7% or, more meaningfully given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, some 10.7% ahead of
2019. This performance reflects the robust recovery in volumes driven by both domestic and commercial RMI, with
management actions over the previous two years leaving the Group's businesses well placed to benefit from increasing
demand.
Actions taken to restructure the business, coupled with careful management of both increasing inflation and product
availability challenges, enabled the business to increase overall operating margin in continuing businesses by 20bps
vs 2019 and deliver an adjusted operating profit of £164m, 14% ahead of 2019.
The Group continues to invest in both physical networks and technology to meet changing customer needs and exploit
market opportunities. Larger branches, with greater capability, are being added to the General Merchant portfolio
while the rollout of Toolstation continues at pace in both the UK and Europe. Alongside enabling growth in core
businesses, the Group is also focused on identifying emerging opportunities, such as TF Solutions, the Group's air
conditioning and refrigeration distributor, where network capacity has been doubled in the last twelve months.
Alongside investment in the branch network, the Group also continues to focus on enhancements to both customer facing
and back office technology. Customer Apps are being rolled out, starting with Toolstation and the General Merchant,
and the delivery management system has been fully implemented across CCF and Keyline as well as around half of the
General Merchant network. Internally, work continues to replace manual processes with digital solutions to improve
efficiency.
The Group's balance sheet remains robust with covenant net debt of £105m (31 December 2020: £40m), the increase in net
debt resulting from funding the £130m capitalisation of Wickes upon demerger offset by a £65m cash inflow from
operations.
Post the demerger of Wickes, the Group's operating leverage (on an IFRS16 basis) has reduced to 1.5x net debt / EBITDA
(on a rolling 12 months basis).

Portfolio actions
The demerger of Wickes was successfully completed on 28 April 2021. A share consolidation exercise was subsequently
undertaken to maintain consistency in the share price, each holder receiving 0.8925 new ordinary shares for every
share held.
In late May, the Plumbing & Heating business was sold to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative
investment firm, for cash consideration of £325m with the deal expected to complete in Q3. Due to the strength of the
Group's balance sheet, the net proceeds will be returned to shareholders via a 35 pence per share special dividend, to
be paid as soon as practicable post completion, and a share buyback programme expected to commence shortly thereafter.
Investor Update
On 29 September, Management will hold an update for investors that will include presentations from senior leaders from
across the Group's businesses.
The investor update will outline plans for the evolution of the Group's customer proposition, including plans to take
advantage of collaboration opportunities. It will also set out key sustainability initiatives alongside technological
and digital solutions that will enhance the customer experience as well as drive simplification of internal processes
across the Group. In addition, the update will set out plans for further, long-term growth in Toolstation, in both the
UK and Europe, and how the Group's priorities for capital allocation will drive future shareholder returns.
Dividend
In March 2020, the Board took the decision to suspend dividend payments given the significant impact of the pandemic
on financial performance and the risk to the Group's liquidity. Given the strong performance in H1 2021 and the
strength of the Group's balance sheet, the Board believes that now is the appropriate time to reinstate dividends,
distributing between 30% and 40% of full year adjusted earnings as a regular dividend. As a result, the Board has
declared an interim dividend of 12.0 pence per share.
The Board intends to set out its priorities for capital allocation alongside views on appropriate leverage and
potential for any incremental shareholder returns, over and above the ordinary dividend, at its investor update.
Outlook
The long term fundamentals of the Group's end markets remain robust with ongoing demand for new housing and historic
underinvestment in the repair, maintenance and improvement of the existing UK housing stock needing to be addressed.
This is further underpinned by the UK Government's commitment to decarbonise the UK economy, providing stimulus
packages across a number of sectors, and to invest in infrastructure.
Whilst some uncertainty remains due to the ongoing pandemic, coupled with inflationary pressures and product
availability issues, the Group expects the RMI market to remain strong for some time to come and for new housing to
continue on its recovery path.
Given the additional property profits resulting from the highly successful post-restructuring disposal programme,
adjusted operating profit for the continuing business for 2021 is now expected to be at least £310m.
Technical guidance
The Group's technical guidance for 2021 is as follows:
• Effective tax rate of 20%
• Base capital expenditure of around £100m
• Property profits of around £30m
Segmental performance
Merchanting
H1 2021 H1 2020 Change
Total revenue £1,905m £1,385m 37.5%
Like-for-like growth 47.3% (25.8)%
Adjusted operating profit £156m £36m n/m

ROCE 15% 9% 6ppt
Branch network* 853 846 7
*2020 branch network figures for comparison are taken at 31 December 2020
The Merchanting businesses delivered a strong first half performance, particularly the Travis Perkins General
Merchant, underpinned by the strong recovery in domestic RMI demand. Overall Merchanting revenue was up 37.5% versus
H1 2020, where enforced closures due to the pandemic significantly affected trading, and 1.9% ahead of H1 2019.
Factoring in the 2020 branch closure programme, like-for-like revenue growth was 47.3% and 11.0% up when compared to
2019.
This strong top line performance, combined with robust gross margins and cost benefits from the restructuring
programme, delivered an adjusted operating profit of £156m, up 11% versus 2019 and an operating margin of 8.2%, some
70bps ahead of 2019.
Price inflation accelerated through the first half of the year, with prices increasing by around 4%, Q1 being around
2% compared to Q2 at around 7%. Inflationary pressure is expected to persist in the near term with shortages on some
key product lines, most notably in raw materials such as timber and plasterboard related products, which has posed a
particular challenge for CCF. Overall, despite these challenges, the Merchanting businesses have managed the issues
well, working closely with customers and suppliers to ensure a fair outcome for all.
Performance in the General Merchant benefitted from improvement initiatives undertaken during 2019 and 2020, which
included the simplification of processes and commercial deals alongside reduced central influence on pricing and
range. The focus on enabling our branches to compete effectively in their local markets and more competitive
shelf-edge pricing, particularly on lightside products, has given our branch teams the confidence to adopt a more
entrepreneurial approach to running their businesses. These actions, coupled with the rationalisation of the branch
network and investment in larger, more capable sites, provide a solid base for the Travis Perkins General Merchant to
profitably grow its market share in the medium term.
The specialist businesses are recovering well, with BSS in particular well placed to take advantage of strong demand
in the commercial RMI market. Alongside the good performance in the core BSS business, TF Solutions, the Group's
specialist air conditioning and refrigeration business which was acquired in 2017, provides an exciting growth
opportunity. With strong demand in this market expected to continue in the medium to long term, the Group has invested
in 6 further TFS branches during the last twelve months to double the network capacity.
Keyline is starting to see momentum build as the refreshed management team refocuses the business with the objective
of delivering enhanced service to customers through technical specialism and sustainability planning. The
infrastructure market is strong and new housing is beginning to recover with Keyline the beneficiary of being "first
on site" as new housing starts gradually pick up.
CCF's marketplace remains challenging as the "late cycle" trades, specifically new housing and commercial, continue to
lag and product availability remains an issue with several core products on restricted supply. Focus remains on
quality of business and enhancing CCF's service offering to build long term partnerships with customers and suppliers.
In all of the specialist businesses, the difficult but decisive actions taken during 2020 to rationalise the cost base
are delivering important benefits. All businesses are carefully rebuilding their capacity in line with market recovery
and in a disciplined manner to ensure longer term efficiencies are locked in to create a more flexible cost base that
enables operating leverage.

Memo:

In the first half of the year, Toolstation has again demonstrated the strength of its customer proposition by
achieving total revenue growth of 38.7% with further market share gains. On the back of this sustained outperformance,
the Group continues to drive the branch network expansion in both the UK and Europe.
In the UK, 30 branches were opened in the first half and at least 60 new branches will be added during 2021. Alongside
the expansion of network capacity, Toolstation UK continues to maintain its market-leading value proposition which has
been enhanced by the introduction of trade credit. Initial signs are very encouraging with the average basket size of
credit sales more than 50% higher than those of cash sales and the service achieving a net promoter score of 75.
The range of products available online and through the catalogue was extended by a further c.1,800 products, with
added ranges primarily being trade-focused brands. Following the addition of Hawksmoor landscaping products,
Toolstation now also offers six own exclusive brands.
The operating margin of Toolstation UK was in line with Management expectations in H1 2021 at 5.8%, reflecting the
significant investment in the network in the past 12 months.
The European business continues to make good progress with revenue increasing by 52% in the first half. In Benelux,
where sales were up 50%, 7 more shops were opened and the business in the Netherlands is scaling up well with losses
narrowing. The Belgian rollout is still in the early stages but remains very encouraging.
Customer feedback continues to be strongly positive with Toolstation Netherlands achieving a Trustpilot rating of 4.4
(out of 5.0) equivalent to a rating of "Excellent". The "Click & Collect in 10 minutes" offer remains well ahead of
the competition in terms of speed of service.
In France, sales grew by 74% with 8 new shops opened, taking the total to 27. The new c. 100,000 square foot
distribution centre just outside Lyon is now fully operational which will facilitate the continued expansion of
Toolstation France.
Toolstation Europe overall made a loss of £(10)m in H1, due primarily to the early stage investment in France. This
level of loss is expected to continue through H2 as the rollout programme, with 40 new shops planned for 2021, remains
on track.
Central costs
Central costs reduced year-on-year at £19m with savings generated from the restructuring programme in 2020 more than
offsetting the normalisation of management incentives.
Property transactions
Excellent progress has been made in exiting both freehold and leasehold sites vacated as part of the restructuring
programme announced in June 2020 with 96% of freehold properties sold or under offer and 76% of leasehold properties
either exited, under offer or transferred to operate in another business within the Group.
These transactions have generated significant upside with £17m of profits recognised in H1. As a result of this work,
guidance for full year property profits has been raised to £30m (previously £20m).
Financial Performance
Revenue analysis
Both business segments delivered strong revenue growth, although against comparatives influenced slightly differently
by the first national lockdown in H1 2020. The Merchanting businesses experienced a period of severe disruption,
including many temporary branch closures, in the prior year whilst Toolstation was able to continue trading largely
throughout the period, albeit at reduced levels, by adapting branches to become fulfilment centres.
Input cost inflation picked up in the first half of 2021 and was exacerbated by materials shortages. In Merchanting,
prices are updated in line with manufacturer increases which are invariably communicated clearly to the market. In
Toolstation, this is less straightforward and has to be managed carefully to maintain value leadership.
The reduction in network capacity in the Merchanting business reflects the 2020 restructuring programme and the 1.9%
overall growth against 2019 represents a very encouraging performance given the loss of c. (9)% capacity. Toolstation
growth reflects the impact of the ongoing network expansion across both UK and Europe and the resulting market share
gains.

Operating profit and margin
H1 2020 was significantly impacted by the first national Covid-19 lockdown and hence the rebuilding of revenue,
alongside good gross margin management and the benefits of the restructuring programme undertaken in 2020, resulted in
a significantly increased adjusted operating profit.
A more meaningful comparison is against H1 2019 where adjusted operating profit for the continuing businesses was
£144m. The actions described above have delivered a 14% improvement against this benchmark.

In 2021, the Group has successfully exited the leases on a number of branches closed in 2020 for less than the
contractual lease liability, which has generated a credit to adjusting items of £9m. The prior year charge primarily
related to the restructuring programme undertaken in June 2020.
Finance charge
Net finance charges, shown in note 5, were £22m (2020: £16m). The key driver of the variance was a £7m gain on foreign
currency translation in the prior year which did not repeat. Interest payable on bonds and bank facilities reduced by
£2m year-on-year while interest on lease liabilities was broadly flat.
Taxation
The tax charge for continuing activities for the period to 30 June 2021, including the effect of adjusting items, is
£46m (2020: tax credit £9m).
The tax charge for the half before adjusting items is £31m (2020: £2m credit) giving an adjusted ETR of 21.0%
(standard rate 19%, 2020 actual 33.0%). The adjusted ETR is higher than the standard rate due to the effect of
expenses not deductible for tax purposes (such as depreciation of property) and unutilised overseas losses. An
adjusting deferred tax charge of £14m was recognised as a result of the increase in the UK corporation tax rate.
Earnings per share
The Group reported a statutory profit after tax of £100m (2020: loss of £86m) resulting in basic earnings per share
for continuing operations of 41.5 pence (2020: loss of 34.5 pence). Diluted earnings per share for continuing
operations were 41.0 pence (2020: loss of 34.5 pence)
Adjusted profit after tax was £111m resulting in adjusted earnings per share (note 10(b)) of 46.2p (2020: 1.0 pence).
Diluted earnings per share were 45.7 pence (2020: 1.0 pence)

Free cash flow conversion was again strong, building on the excellent performance in H1 2020. Despite the significant
year on year increase in sales, there was a further working capital inflow of £22m. Credit sales were tightly managed
with debtor days reduced by 3 days compared to H1 2019. The increase in stock was more than funded by trade creditors
and the Group continues to benefit from the netting out of supplier rebates.

Net capital expenditure (46) (29)
Base capital expenditure was £12m greater than the prior year as expenditure normalised following the impact of the
first national lockdown in the prior year. The reduction in maintenance capex was predominantly driven by a reduction
in fleet purchases resulting from a combination of redeployment of assets post restructuring and also extended lead
times on new vehicles ordered for 2021.
Growth capex was £12m higher than the previous year with Toolstation UK opening 30 new branches in H1 compared to only
6 in the prior year due to restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Good progress was also made on building new capacity
in the Travis Perkins General Merchant with 5 larger, more capable branches added to the network in H1 including a
tool hire hub in London. 7 more General Merchant branches are expected to be added in H2.
Freehold property purchases were significantly higher due to the purchase of the freehold of the Travis Perkins
General Merchant branch in Battersea which was previously leased. Disposal proceeds were £10m ahead of prior year
reflecting the excellent progress on exiting sites closed as part of the 2020 restructuring programme.

Change in cash/cash equivalents (65) 321
For the Group as a whole there was a cash outflow of £65m, the key driver of which was the £130m provided to
capitalise Wickes upon demerger (shown above in "Other"). The underlying net cash inflow of £65m was primarily driven
by the operating profit performance and disciplined working capital management.
The cash inflow of £101m in prior year shown as "Other" principally relates to the cash profits generated by
discontinued operations and the £50m received for the sale of the PF&P wholesale business, which was part of the
Plumbing & Heating division.
Strong cash generation and actions taken to strengthen the balance sheet have enabled the Group to reinstate the
dividend with the 2021 interim dividend to be paid in H2.
Net debt and funding

Covenant net debt £105m £22m £(83)m
Covenant net debt / adjusted EBITDA 0.3x 0.1x (0.2)x
Net debt under IFRS16 £617m £1,441m £824m
IFRS16 net debt excluding discontinued operations / adjusted EBITDA 1.5x 1.7x 0.2x
Covenant net debt increased by £83m from 30 June 2020 to £105m. This movement was principally a result of cash
outflows relating to the Wickes demerger, which have more than offset trading inflows. The significant reduction in
net debt under IFRS16 is due to the reduction in lease liabilities associated with the demerger of Wickes and the
agreed sale of the P&H businesses.
Funding
As at 30 June 2021, the Group's committed funding of £950m comprised:
• £300m guaranteed notes due September 2023, listed on the London Stock Exchange
• £250m guaranteed notes due February 2026, listed on the London Stock Exchange
• A revolving credit facility of £400m, refinanced in January 2019, of which £54m matures in 2024 and the remaining
£346m matures in 2025
As at 30 June 2021, the Group had undrawn committed facilities of £400m (2020: £400m) and deposited cash of £378m
(2020: £455m), giving overall liquidity headroom of £778m.
The Group's credit rating, issued by Standard and Poor's, was maintained at BB+ negative watch following its review in
April 2020. In November 2020, Fitch Ratings assigned the Group an investment grade rating of BBB- with stable outlook.
Building a sustainable business
The Group continues to set out the framework to achieve its ambition of leading the industry in sustainability. As a
key part of that framework, on 12 July 2021, the Group announced a commitment to a new 1.5 degree-aligned carbon
reduction target by 2035, consistent with the 1.5 degree pathway of the 2016 Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
For Scope 1 and 2 carbon, which primarily applies to the decarbonisation of the Group's fleet, this target will
involve an 80% reduction and a net zero commitment to offset any remaining Scope 1 & 2 carbon by 2035.
For Scope 3 carbon, this target will involve a 63% carbon reduction in the Group's supply chain emissions by 2035, and
primarily apply to the purchasing of goods and services; concrete products, bricks and plasterboard in particular, and
the in-use emissions of goods sold; especially gas heating and power tools.
These commitments build on the progress Travis Perkins has made to date by reducing Scope 1 & 2 carbon intensity (per
£million sales) by 45% since 2013.
In practical terms, to support the delivery of these goals, the Group welcomed its first fully electric HGV into CCF
in March, with more such vehicles in the pipeline. All of the Group's LPG forklift trucks will also be replaced by
electric equivalents.
In addition to the high level of focus on the Group's environmental impact, significant effort is being invested in
building a more diverse and inclusive workforce. To that end, the Group now has enrolled over 850 new and existing
colleagues onto an apprenticeship programme, remaining on track to reach the goal of 1,000 apprentices by the end of
2021. Of those on the programme, over 95% are under the age of 25, around one third are female and around half are
from a minority ethnic background.
The Group has also taken on just over 350 colleagues under the Government's "Kickstart" scheme to support young people
who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment. Of those, just under 10% already have a
permanent position within the Group and initial indications are that this could become as high as 70%.
To engage colleagues across the Group in building a sustainable business, the "Building For Better" programme has
been launched internally, starting with a week of communications from leaders across all of the Group's sustainability
workstreams.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The risk environment in which the Group operates does not remain static. The Group's risks are regularly reviewed and
reassessed through a process that considers both internal and external factors. In their review of the principal
risks, the Directors have considered the changing nature of the risk trends. Most of the Group's principal risks have
experienced some degree of change in the first half of the year, against a backdrop of ongoing uncertainty in relation
to the pandemic. Product availability, for example, has presented challenges in recent months but, in considering the
effectiveness of measures taken to date, the Directors did not consider this to have driven a material change in the
Group's supplier risk profile. The Group's exposure to portfolio management risk is generally reducing given the
successful demerger of Wickes and the disposal of the Plumbing & Heating segment but remains on the register whilst
activities complete and transitional services arrangements are initiated.
Based on this review, the Directors consider that the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group have been,
and are expected to remain, broadly consistent with those described on pages 44 to 51 of the 2020 Annual Report and
Accounts. Details are provided for inherent risks relating to market conditions, the pandemic, the changing customer &
competitor landscape, supplier risks, portfolio management, change management, ESG, IT systems & infrastructure, cyber
threat & data security, health, safety & wellbeing, people and legal compliance. Emerging risks, which are known
risks that are currently difficult to fully assess and/or quantify, are also regularly considered and monitored by the
Directors. There are no emerging risks considered significant enough to report at this time.

Notes to the interim financial statements
1. General information and accounting policies
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except that certain financial
instruments including derivative instruments and plan assets of defined benefit pension schemes are stated at their
fair value. The condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries
("the Group").
Basis of preparation
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is unaudited. The June 2021
information has been reviewed by KPMG LLP, the Group's auditor, and a copy of their review report appears on page 36
of this interim report. The June 2020 information was also reviewed by KPMG LLP.
The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2020 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, as
prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies
Act 2006 and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") adopted pursuant to Regulation
(EC) No 1606/2002, has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was not
qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying the report and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with
IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted for use in the UK, and have been prepared on the basis of IFRS.
The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting
standards. As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed set
of financial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the
preparation of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The 2020
full year financial statements are available on the Travis Perkins website ( 3 www.travisperkinsplc.co.uk).
Although the rapidly changing economic conditions caused by Covid-19 have affected some of the markets in which the
Group operates, the Group has remained resilient and produced strong cash and trading results. The Directors are
currently of the opinion that the Group's forecasts and projections show that the Group should be able to operate
within its current facilities and comply with its banking covenants. The Group is however exposed to a number of
significant risks and uncertainties, which could affect the Group's ability to meet management's projections.
The Directors believe that the Group has the flexibility to react to changing market conditions and is adequately
placed to manage its business risks successfully. The Group has undertaken a detailed going concern assessment,
reviewing its current and projected financial performance and position, including current assets and liabilities, debt
maturity profile, future commitments and forecast cash flows. The downside scenarios tested, outlining the impact of
severe but plausible adverse scenarios based on a severe recession and housing market weakness, show that there is
sufficient headroom for liquidity and covenant compliance purposes for at least the next 12 months from the date of
approval of these financial statements. For this reason the interim financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group has applied the
following requirements:
• Narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 17 and annual improvements on various IFRS
• Classification of liabilities, presentation of financial statements
• Interest Rate Benchmark Reform; amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7
The above requirements did not have a material impact on the Group and have been adopted without restating comparative
information.
Notes to the interim financial statements
2. Adjusting items
To enable a reader of the interim financial statements to obtain a clear understanding of the underlying trading, the
Directors have presented the items below separately in the income statement.

Branch closures and restructuring
In 2021, the Group has been able to exit the leases of a number of branches closed in 2020 for less than the
contractual lease liability, which has generated a credit of £8.6m.
Deferred tax rate change
The tax charge includes an adjusting charge of £14.4m arising from the increase in the rate of UK corporation tax from
19% to 25% effective on 1 April 2023 (2020: charge of £9.0m arising from the increase in the rate from 17% to 19%
effective on 1 April 2020).
2020 adjusting items
In June 2020 the Group announced the closure of 144 branches and the restructuring of distribution, administrative and
sales functions. Costs recognised in 2020 in relation to these closures were as follows:
• £46m of property costs arising on the closure of branches and office locations, including a £25m impairment charge
in respect of right-of-use assets
• £30m of redundancy and other restructuring costs
• £9m of fixed asset impairments
• £12m of inventory provisions in respect of closed branches and associated restructuring
The 2020 gain of £4.2m was the result of the full and final settlement of claims in relation to the cancelled
replacement of the Group's merchant ERP system.
Notes to the interim financial statements
3. Business segments
The operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are
regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is considered to be the Board, to assess
performance and allocate capital.
Both operating segments sell building materials to a wide range of customers, none of which are dominant, and operate
almost exclusively in the United Kingdom.
Segment result represents the result of each segment without allocation of certain central costs, finance costs and
tax. Adjusted segment result is the result of each segment before adjusting items and property profits. Unallocated
segment assets and liabilities comprise financial instruments, current and deferred tax, cash, borrowings and pension
scheme assets and liabilities.
The Wickes business was demerged on 27 April 2021 and the Plumbing & Heating segment is classified as held for sale as
a result of the binding sale agreement announced on 22 May 2021 and therefore are excluded from the segmental
analysis. Information about these discontinued operations is provided in note 13.

The Group elected to deduct the grants from the furlough scheme in reporting the related administrative expense.
Following the announcement in December 2020 that the Group would repay rates relief and furlough grants received by
Toolstation, £2.5m of this was reversed in the second half of 2020.
In addition, in March 2020 the Group deferred £107m of VAT payments. This was subsequently paid in December 2020.

8. Retirement benefit obligations
(a) Defined benefit pension schemes
The Directors have agreed with the Trustees of the Group's two material defined benefit pension schemes that,
following the elimination of the deficits in these schemes, no further contributions from the Group are currently
required. In the case of the TP scheme, the ongoing management and administrative expenses are also now being met by
the scheme. The Group will still provide £27.5m of funding to one of the schemes over the period to 2030 through a
Group-controlled special purpose vehicle put in place in 2010 which is backed by the security of 16 of the Group's
freehold properties.

13. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
The Wickes business was demerged on 27 April 2021. In accordance with IFRIC 17 - Distributions of Non-cash Assets to
Owners, the Group has recognised the distribution at fair value of £679.7m, as measured by the volume-weighted average
price on the day the demerged business was admitted to the market. The difference between the fair value of the Wickes
business and the carrying amount of the assets distributed has been recognised as an expense.
The sale of the Plumbing & Heating business was announced on 20 May 2021 and is expected to complete in the third
quarter of 2021. The assets and liabilities of this business have been classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2021
and its results presented as part of the Group's discontinued operations.
The Primaflow F&P wholesale business, which formed part of the Plumbing & Heating segment, was sold on 31 January 2020
for cash consideration of £50.1m, generating profit on disposal of £1.8m. On 30 September 2020, the Group sold Tile
Giant Limited, which formed part of the Retail segment, for consideration of £6.1m, generating profit on disposal of
£1.4m. The results of these businesses have been presented as part of the Group's discontinued operations.

15. Financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
• Foreign currency forward contracts are measured using quoted forward exchange rates
• Deferred consideration liabilities are calculated using forecasts of future performance of acquisitions discounted
to present value
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition
at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
There were no transfers between levels during the year. There are no non-recurring fair value measurements.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO TRAVIS PERKINS PLC
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 30 June 2021 which comprises the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statement
of changes in equity, condensed consolidated cash flow statement and the related explanatory notes.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK and the Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA").
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review
of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices
Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the
other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and consider whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.
As disclosed in note 1, the latest annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in the UK. The directors are responsible for preparing
the condensed set of financial statements included in the half-yearly financial report in accordance with IAS 34 as
adopted for use in the UK.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the
half-yearly financial report based on our review.
The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in
meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for
this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
