A recent report has indicated that Walgreens Boots Alliance, the parent company of Walgreens, is considering a breakup into three separate entities. This potential move would involve selling or spinning off Boots UK, a chain of over 1,800 stores offering health and beauty products across the UK.

In addition to divesting Boots UK, the plan includes separating the U.S. retail pharmacy segment of Walgreens into its own company. The third entity would encompass the specialty pharmacy business, a rapidly growing sector that has been a focus for Walgreens with an estimated value of $24 billion.

According to The Financial Times, the restructuring process would involve Sycamore Partners taking the entire company private initially and then breaking it down into three distinct units with separate financial structures.

This potential breakup comes at a time when rival company CVS Health is consolidating its various healthcare services under one umbrella. CVS owns a health insurance company, a pharmacy benefit management firm, and a network of retail pharmacies, allowing for integrated healthcare offerings to its customers.

Unlike CVS, Walgreens has historically refrained from owning a pharmacy benefit manager or health insurance company. Instead, the company has focused on expanding its healthcare services within its retail pharmacy locations. However, these efforts have faced challenges, particularly with the scaling back of VillageMD clinics that were intended to offer primary care services within Walgreens stores.

Walgreens’ financial performance has also been under scrutiny, with the company reporting a net loss in its recent fiscal quarter. The potential breakup and sale of certain assets, such as its stake in VillageMD, signal a shift in strategy under the leadership of CEO Tim Wentworth.

While Walgreens has not officially confirmed the breakup plans, the company’s focus on reducing debt and optimizing its retail pharmacy operations suggests a strategic realignment to drive long-term growth and profitability. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, Walgreens is positioning itself for a sustainable future in the industry.
