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."

Past performance of the shares of Travis Perkins plc cannot be
relied upon as a guide to the future performance of the shares of
Travis Perkins plc. 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 GBP2,299m 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 GBP164m, 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 GBP105m (31 December 2020: GBP40m), the increase in net debt
resulting from funding the GBP130m capitalisation of Wickes upon
demerger offset by a GBP65m 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 GBP325m 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 GBP310m. Technical guidance
The Group's technical guidance for 2021 is as follows: ?
Effective tax rate of 20% ? Base capital expenditure of around
GBP100m ? Property profits of around GBP30m Segmental performance

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 GBP156m, 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. Toolstation

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 GBP(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 GBP19m 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 GBP17m
of profits recognised in H1. As a result of this work, guidance for
full year property profits has been raised to GBP30m (previously
GBP20m). 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. Volume, price and mix

*Toolstation Europe is excluded from the H1 2019 comparative as
it was not wholly owned by the Group 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 GBP144m. 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
GBP9m. The prior year charge primarily related to the restructuring
programme undertaken in June 2020. Finance charge
Net finance charges, shown in note 5, were GBP22m (2020:
GBP16m). The key driver of the variance was a GBP7m gain on foreign
currency translation in the prior year which did not repeat.
Interest payable on bonds and bank facilities reduced by GBP2m
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 GBP46m
(2020: tax credit GBP9m).
The tax charge for the half before adjusting items is GBP31m
(2020: GBP2m 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 GBP14m 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 GBP100m
(2020: loss of GBP86m) 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 GBP111m 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) Cash flow and

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 GBP22m. 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 GBP12m 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 GBP12m 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 GBP10m 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 GBP65m, the
key driver of which was the GBP130m provided to capitalise Wickes
upon demerger (shown above in "Other"). The underlying net cash
inflow of GBP65m was primarily driven by the operating profit
performance and disciplined working capital management.
The cash inflow of GBP101m in prior year shown as "Other"
principally relates to the cash profits generated by discontinued
operations and the GBP50m 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

Covenant net debt increased by GBP83m from 30 June 2020 to
GBP105m. 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 GBP950m
comprised: ? GBP300m guaranteed notes due September 2023, listed on
the London Stock Exchange ? GBP250m guaranteed notes due February
2026, listed on the London Stock Exchange ? A revolving credit
facility of GBP400m, refinanced in January 2019, of which GBP54m
matures in 2024 and the remaining
GBP346m matures in 2025
As at 30 June 2021, the Group had undrawn committed facilities
of GBP400m (2020: GBP400m) and deposited cash of GBP378m (2020:
GBP455m), giving overall liquidity headroom of GBP778m.
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
GBPmillion 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. Condensed consolidated

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 (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.

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 GBP8.6m.
Deferred tax rate change
The tax charge includes an adjusting charge of GBP14.4m arising
from the increase in the rate of UK corporation tax from 19% to 25%
effective on 1 April 2023 (2020: charge of GBP9.0m 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: ? GBP46m of property costs arising on the closure
of branches and office locations, including a GBP25m impairment
charge
in respect of right-of-use assets ? GBP30m of redundancy and
other restructuring costs ? GBP9m of fixed asset impairments ?
GBP12m of inventory provisions in respect of closed branches and
associated restructuring
The 2020 gain of GBP4.2m 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. a)

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, GBP2.5m of this
was reversed in the second half of 2020.
In addition, in March 2020 the Group deferred GBP107m of VAT
payments. This was subsequently paid in December 2020.

balances. 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
GBP27.5m 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. (b) Pension scheme asset movement Six months ended 30

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 GBP679.7m,
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 GBP50.1m, generating profit on disposal of
GBP1.8m. On 30 September 2020, the Group sold Tile Giant Limited,
which formed part of the Retail segment, for consideration of
GBP6.1m, generating profit on disposal of GBP1.4m. The results of
these businesses have been presented as part of the Group's
discontinued operations.

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.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge: ? The condensed
set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with
IAS 34 - Interim Financial
Reporting, as adopted for use in the UK; ? The Interim
Management Report includes a fair review of the information
required by: a. DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules, being an indication of important events that have
occurred
during the first six months of the financial year and their
impact on the condensed set of financial statements;
and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for
the remaining six months of the year; and b. DTR 4.2.8R of the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions
that have taken place in the
first six months of the current financial year and that have
materially affected the financial position or
performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in
the related party transactions described in the
last annual report that could do so.

2 August 2021 2 August 2021 INDEPENT 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.
