Manager's Review

 

Introduction

 

As at 30 September 2022 the net assets of the Company were £518.5 million
giving a Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share of 711.75p, which taking into
account the dividend of 6.05p paid on 29 July 2022, gives a total return of
9.3% for the quarter. The NAV total return over the nine-month period ended 30
September 2022 was 14.0%.

 

The share price total return for the quarter was -9.7% and -17.2% for the
nine-month period ended 30 September 2022. The Company's shares have traded on
a large discount to NAV which fails to reflect the underlying valuations.

 

At 30 September 2022 the Company had net debt of £23.7 million. The current
net debt is around £32 million prior to the receipt of the proceeds from the
sale of San Siro. The outstanding undrawn commitments are £192.8 million of
which £25.7 million is to funds where the investment period has expired. The
valuation has the usual time lag and is composed of approximately 20%
September 2022 valuations and 80% June 2022 valuations.

 

A dividend of 6.31p was paid on 31 October 2022. In accordance with the
Company's dividend policy the next dividend will be 6.62p which will be paid
on 31 January 2023 to shareholders on the register on 6 January 2023, with an
ex-dividend date of 5 January 2023.

 

New Investments

 

During the quarter two fund commitments, one secondary investment and three
co-investments were made.

 

We have increased our commitment to healthcare specialist Apposite Healthcare
III by £5 million bringing the total committed up to £10 million. The fund
is half invested and progressing well. We have committed €8 million to Volpi
III, which is the second of this Pan-European mid-market specialist's funds we
have backed. £2.6 million was invested via a secondary purchase in Kurma
Biofund, a life sciences fund managed from France. We have co-invested £7.9
million alongside The Rohatyn Group in Leader96, the Bulgaria based assembler
of e-bikes. We have co-invested £5.1 million with Peloton in 123Dentist, a
Canada based chain of dental practices. We have also co-invested £2.3 million
with MVM in Neurolens, a US developer of an innovative prismatic lens
technology to diagnose and treat digital vision syndrome. There were two
follow-on investments in co-investments this quarter both of which were to
fund add-on acquisitions. £0.8 million was added to complex care company
Orbis and £0.7 million was added to payments company Aurora Payment
Solutions.

 

There were a number of new investments made by the funds in quite an active
quarter. In the UK, August Equity V has been active, drawing £1.8 million for
veterinary chain Medivet, a follow-on for high acuity care provider Orbis and
cyber security specialist Cyber 360. FPE Fund III called £0.9 million for
Dynamic Planner a leading software provider to the UK wealth management
sector. Apiary called £0.4 million for MediaSense (technology enabled adviser
to global corporations) and £0.3 million for LearnPro (virtual reality
e-learning solutions for emergency services such as police, fire and rescue,
health services, etc.). In Germany, DBAG VIII and VIIIB have together called
£0.7 million for Freiheit, a pioneer in agile software development and an
additional £0.7 million for Dantherm (climate control solutions) which we
previously had exposure to through Procuritas V. In France and Italy, Chequers
Capital XVII has been active with £1.3 million called for three new
investments and one partial reinvestment; My Mobility (transportation for
disabled children and adults in France), Somacis (complex printed circuit
boards in Italy), Selini (equipment rental in Italy) and reinvestment of part
of the proceeds from Serma (electronics testing).

 

Med Platform II called £0.8 million for California based Natus Medical
(screening and diagnostics for neurological conditions).

 

The total of new investment drawn for co-investments and funds in the quarter
was £32.5 million. Total new investment for the first nine months of the year
is £69.8 million.   This is well balanced by total realisations of £79.6
million for the same period.

 

Realisations

 

There were a number of significant realisations during the quarter from both
the funds and co-investment elements of the portfolio.

 

The largest realisation was from European buyout fund Volpi where we received
a distribution of £7.4 million which was the proceeds from the sale of Irish
IT managed services provider Version 1. This represents an excellent 5.9x cost
and an IRR of 39%.

 

GCP Europe II, managed by Kester Capital, achieved a strong exit of contract
research organisation Avania Clinical which specialises in medical devices.
£6.7 million was received representing 8.4x and an IRR of 46%. Our
co-investment in RGI, the Italy based provider of software to the Insurance
sector, was sold returning £3.6 million. This investment was led by Corsair
Capital and achieved 1.6x and an IRR of 12%. There is scope for the return to
improve through deferred consideration depending on the final exit proceeds
when new owner CVC sells.

 

Part of our holding in energy services company Ashtead Technology, which is
now listed on AIM, was sold down during the quarter returning £2.8 million.

 

Inflexion has had another active period for exits. From the various funds we
have received £2.3 million from the sale of wealth management company
Succession (3.4x, 20% IRR), £1.2 million from IT recruitment specialist K2
(5.0x, 36% IRR) and £0.9 million from Virgin Experience Days (23.7x, 64%
IRR).

 

In the Nordics, Verdane Edda has returned £1.7 million from the sale of
vitamin K2 producer Kappa Bioscience (4.3x, 80% IRR). Summa II also sold
chemicals management software company EcoOnline returning £0.5 million. In
France, Chequers Capital XVII exited electronics testing company Serma
returning £0.8 million (2.4x, 32% IRR). Chequers rolled over some of the
proceeds into the new Ardian led deal as noted above.

 

Lastly in Poland, Avalon MBO Fund II exited engineering and technical building
services company Stangl Technik through a sale to Astorg returning £0.5
million (5.8x, 50% IRR).

 

This has been a strong quarter for realisations with a total of £31.9 million
of proceeds, including associated income, received. This brings the total for
the first nine months of the year to £79.6 million.

 

There have been further realisations following the quarter end most notably
the exit of Italian funeral homes company San Siro which was sold by Augens
Capital to French Infrastructure fund Antin on 10 November 2022. This exit was
at a value of £34.9 million for the Company, 75% of this will be received in
cash and 25% rolled into the new deal. This represents an uplift of £23.3
million on the previous carrying value and a return of 8.9x cost and an IRR of
circa. 90%. The investment thesis of building a chain of funeral homes and
adding other facilities such as crematoria has been followed very well and
this has resulted in this exceptional outcome.

 

Valuation Changes

 

There have been numerous valuation changes over the quarter. These are mostly
positive but there has been a sizeable minority of downgrades reflecting a
range of pressures on the businesses internationally.

 

The largest uplift as noted above was the £23.3 million uplift for San Siro.
There was a £3.9 million uplift for the holding in F&C European Capital
Partners LP, which reflects the removal of the discount on purchase earlier in
the year. The Company as the sole remaining LP will hold the assets until
realisation and hence a discount to reflect an immediate liquidation value is
no longer appropriate. August Equity Partners IV (+£2.7 million) is up
reflecting an imminent realisation of ISO compliance services company AMTIVO
at an excellent 8.0x cost. GCP Europe II (+£3.1 million) records a gain
reflecting the sale of Avania Clinical. Other good uplifts have been recorded
by Coretrax (+£0.9 million), Rosa Mexicano (+£0.9 million) and Corpfin IV
(+£0.8 million).

 

Downgrades include Ambio Holdings (-£1.8 million) where despite an exit being
widely anticipated in the press, MVM have used a lower valuation. Alessa
(formerly known as Tier I CRM) has been reduced by £1.4 million as the
company has had a major change of focus with the exit of the original CRM
business. Amethyst Radiotherapy is down by £0.6 million with the manager
using a lower valuation multiple. Other downgrades include Agilitas 2015
(-£0.9 million), Procuritas IV (-£0.8 million) and DBAG VII (-£0.5
million).

 

Financing

 

The Company is currently modestly geared and this will reduce significantly on
receipt of the San Siro proceeds. Most of the borrowing facility remains
available and the facility is in place until June 2024. The cost of borrowing
is increasing but moderate gearing should still enhance shareholder returns
over the medium and longer term. The total of outstanding commitments remains
within a manageable band. Realisations are likely to come in below the
record-breaking total for 2021 but given the continuing strong run of exits
the total will be very healthy.

 

Outlook

 

Reports from the funds and co-investments are increasingly reflecting the
pressures which many investee companies are facing. These include general
inflation, energy price rises and supply chain issues to name a few. Demand in
most areas, outside certain consumer facing sectors, remains robust and many
companies are continuing to benefit from some post Covid catch up. Confidence
levels within the private equity sector and most of their underlying companies
remains good and this is manifested in strong deal pipelines. In the
tech-enabled area, which has proved very popular with private equity in recent
years, there has been a shift in buying interest towards fast growing
companies which are already profitable in preference to those with revenue
growth but without current profitability. In this regard our portfolio is well
positioned. The high degree of diversification across the portfolio, which
spans the mid-market sector across Europe and further afield, also continues
to be a distinct strength. As we approach the end of 2022, we have confidence
that the Company will continue to build value for shareholders over the medium
and longer term.
