The Australian conglomerate expects to report a pre-tax profit of as much as A$260 million following completion of the transaction, expected in mid-2025, Wesfarmers said Friday in a regulatory filing. 

“The divestment is in the best interests of Wesfarmers shareholders and is consistent with our disciplined focus on portfolio management,” Managing Director Rob Scott said.

Wesfarmers shares fell as much as 2.4% in Sydney trading on Friday, outpacing declines in the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index.

Coregas produces and supplies industrial, medical and specialty gases to medium to large users across Australia and New Zealand.
