News Release

                       

Guernsey, 5 January 2023

 

NAV increases by 0.5% in November

 

·      Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess" or the "Company") net asset value increased by 0.5% to  EUR 14.15 per share, total NAV at EUR 978.4 million

·      Currency movements were negative (-0.4%) and portfolio revaluations were positive (+1.0%)

·      Princess received distributions of EUR 62.8 million and invested EUR 21.4 million

 

In November, Princess' NAV increased by 0.5%. The positive development was driven by a number of portfolio companies. Among the largest contributors was Ammega (Megadyne - Ammeraal Beltech), a global leader in mission critical belting solutions, whose value increased due to sustained healthy financial performance. Sales growth remains robust in Ammega's core geographies, while price increases and cost saving initiatives have served to offset rising raw material, energy and freight costs.

 

Princess received distributions of EUR 62.8 million, of which EUR 36.6 million stemmed from United States Infrastructure Corporation ("USIC"), the leading North American provider of utility location services. Partners Group closed the transaction to expand the shareholding base of USIC to incoming investor Kohlberg & Company and re-underwrite the transaction with a 50% co-lead interest in USIC. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Indianapolis, USIC serves over 1'300 customers and has a workforce of 9'000 technicians that perform 80 million locates each year.

 

As part of the transaction, Princess reduced its exposure to USIC but re-invested EUR 20.6 million. Moving forward, Partners Group and Kohlberg will implement new value creation initiatives, including investing in sales and digital capabilities.

 

EUR 11.9 million stemmed from Princess' redemption from its allocation to senior loans. Following this transaction, Princess no longer has an allocation to the related fund that invests in floating rate senior loans. Princess received EUR 11.7 million from distributed proceeds from the sale of its remaining stake in Trimco Joint-investment 2018. The remaining balance of EUR 2.6 million was predominantly received from the mature legacy fund portfolio.
