Nestle in talks over $10-billion sale of skin health unit as company shifts its portfolio GlobeBusiness

Nestle chief executive Mark Schneider put the skin health unit up for sale last September as the group moved to ditch underperforming businesses, following years of slowing growth as many consumers favoured fresh foods over packaged goods.Nestle was also under fire from activist investor Daniel Loeb’s Third Point, which asked for a faster overhaul in July. The U.S. hedge fund has since generated very good returns on its Nestle stake, leading Loeb to praise Schneider’s performance this year.

The unit, which will be rebranded Galderma, is expected to post earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of roughly 550 million Swiss francs this year and of more than 600 million next year, a person close to the matter said. Schwendimann said Nestle was under no pressure to announce a new share buyback given that the current one runs until the end of the year.

Under former chief executive Paul Bulcke, skin treatments were part of Nestle’s push into higher-growth health products to counter a slowdown in its traditional food business, but performed poorly, leading to one-off costs and restructuring.
