Associated British Foods Considers Spinning Off Primark
Associated British Foods (AB Foods), the owner of Primark, is considering spinning off the retail chain from its food business after reporting a drop in annual profits.

- Sales across Primark grew by 1% year-on-year to £9.5bn.
- Stronger trading in the second half of the year balanced out a weaker first half.
