Results presentation webcast details
Partners Group Private Equity Limited today published its Half-Year Report for 2024. The key financial highlights are:
| · | Net asset value ("NAV") developed positively and closed the reporting period at EUR 14.38 per share, representing a NAV total return of 4.1%, including the first interim dividend. |
| · | Share price total return over the same period was 13.9%. |
| · | The first interim dividend of EUR 0.355 per share was paid to shareholders in June, in line with the objective to distribute 5% of previous year-end NAV for each financial year, via semi-annual payments in June and December. At the current share price the prospective dividend yield is circa 6.7%. |
| · | Value creation (+5.1%) and favorable currency movements (+1.3%) contributed to the NAV growth. Notably, the sale of SRS Distribution ("SRS") made for the largest contribution. Other large contributors during the reporting period were PCI Pharma ("PCI"), DiversiTech, International Schools Partnership ("ISP") and Galderma. |
| · | During the first half of 2024, the Company invested a total of EUR 19.5 million, including new investments in Rosen Group, Velvet Care, and Pest Control Partnership. The Company also made several add-on investments in existing portfolio companies to support operations and acquisition pipelines. Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2024, the Company committed an additional EUR 20 million to the Partners Group Direct Equity V fund, bringing the total commitment to the fund to EUR 50 million. |
| · | The Company achieved substantial distributions totaling EUR 103.7 million, reaffirming the strength and quality of its portfolio. The significant sum was predominantly driven by exits from portfolio companies SRS and Civica, which contributed EUR 92.4 million. Additionally, EUR 9.5 million in distributions were received from other investments across the portfolio, underscoring the benefits of diversification. Finally, an amount of EUR 1.8 million was received from the wind-down of the third-party fund portfolio. |
| · | Further to the distributions received, the new investments made and the first interim dividend paid, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of EUR 24.6 million and EUR 140 million of undrawn debt facilities at 30 June 2024. |
