Reckitt plans sale of Russian Hygiene unit
Reckitt said it will divest its Russian Hygiene business to Arnest, with completion expected in the second half of 2026 and the unit accounting for about 1% of core net revenue. The sale is treated as Held for Sale and is expected to generate a post-tax loss of around £175 million in 2026, but is not expected to materially affect 2026 adjusted operating profit or EPS, while Reckitt will retain its Russia Health business.
