(LSE: PEY/PEYS)

Partners Group Private Equity Limited

NAV declined by 0.7% in August

·    NAV decreased to EUR 13.80 per share, corresponding to EUR 954.1 million

·    Value creation (+0.7%) offset by unfavorable currency movements (-1.0%)

·    PGPE Ltd received EUR 14.2 million in distributions and invested EUR 3.2 million during the month

The NAV of PGPE Ltd closed in August at EUR 13.80 per share. The underlying portfolio delivered solid value creation of 0.7%, though this was offset by currency headwinds primarily as the US Dollar weakened 2.2% against the Euro during the month, negatively impacting NAV by 1.0% and resulting in a total return decline of 0.7%

Over the same period, PGPE Ltd received EUR 14.2 million in distributions, of which EUR 9.3 million stemmed from the exit of its investment in Global Blue, a provider of VAT refund and foreign exchange services for international travelers. In February this year, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which Shift4, an integrated payments and commerce technology provider, would acquire the business in an all-cash transaction, valued at approximately USD 2.5 billion (enterprise value). The transaction was finalized recently. Following the acquisition, Global Blue will be delisted from the NYSE. Partners Group, on behalf of its clients, originally invested in Global Blue in 2012 and listed the company on the NYSE in 2020, subsequently selling down a portion of its holding. 

EUR 4.5 million came from a further sale of shares of Galderma, a pure-play dermatology category leader. As of 31 August 2025, the remaining NAV of Galderma in the portfolio of PGPE Ltd is EUR 23.8 million. Recently, Galderma released its financial report for the first half of 2025, which showed record net sales of over USD 2 billion and 12.2% year-on-year growth on constant currency terms. This was driven by volume growth and a favorable change in sales mix. Meanwhile, new product launches showed significant progress.

Finally, PGPE Ltd invested EUR 1.6 million in restor3d, a technology-driven orthopedic solutions specialist in the US. Founded in 2017, restor3d offers a full portfolio of implants across shoulder, hip, knee, foot, and ankle, and combines proprietary AI-driven design software, vertically integrated manufacturing, and rapid surgical planning. In 2024, restor3d partnered with more than 520 surgeons across 740 hospitals nationwide. 

Ends.
