Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC combination of TravelSupermarket and Icelolly.com cleared by CMA

12 August 2021

Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC (the "Group") is pleased to confirm the satisfactory completion of the UK merger control process in respect of the proposed combination of TravelSupermarket and Icelolly.com to create the Ice Travel Group. 

The final condition for completion of the combination has now been met. The Group expects to complete the transaction in early September.

In 2019 TravelSupermarket and Icelolly.com between them generated around £30m in revenue and under £10m in EBITDA. Given the current state of the travel market, we expect Icelolly.com to incur EBITDA losses to the end of 2021 but for in-year synergies to broadly offset these.
