Chairman's and Chief Executive's Review
Introduction
We are pleased to announce the interim financial results for Livermore
Investments Group Limited (the "Company" or "Livermore") for the six months
ended 30 June 2025. References to the Company hereinafter also include its
consolidated subsidiary (note 9).
During the first half of 2025, the Company's investment portfolio recorded a
modest gain of USD 1.8m while incurring operating costs of USD 1.9m. The
Company also declared an interim dividend of USD 7m during the period.
Excluding the dividend of USD 7m, the NAV of the Company remined relatively
unchanged from the beginning of the year. NAV as at 30 June 2025 was USD
132.0m (Dec 2024: USD 139.1m; Jun 2024: USD 158.7m). Our investment in
Fetcherr Ltd ("Fetcherr") continued to perform well and in July 2025 it raised
capital from Salesforce Ventures and certain existing investors at a pre-money
valuation of USD 530m. For the period ending 30 Jun 2025, our investment in
Fetcherr was valued at USD 15.0m, implying a valuation of USD 150 million for
Fetcherr. The NAV per share as at 30 June 2025 was USD 0.80. As at 30 June
2025, the Company held USD 33.3m in cash and marketable securities (June 2024:
USD 52.2m).
Overall the first half of 2025 provided a relatively challenging investment
environment. The euphoria of a business friendly US administration quickly
gave way to despair as President Trump launched a trade war against the United
States' trading partners by introducing tariffs on imports. Financial markets
responded violently with US equity markets down 19% from its highs. While the
markets recovered as the US administration reduced the tariff rhetoric, faith
in the US Dollar declined. The US Dollar had one of its worst performances
declining by 10.7% during the first half of 2025.
On the other hand, large technology companies linked to innovation and
developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) continued to capture the
imaginations of individuals, corporates, and governments alike and gain market
capitalization. The pace of capital expenditures by large data centre
companies to reposition their businesses for higher computational workloads
remains unprecedented. Most corporates are keen to evaluate solutions that may
bring the benefits of AI to various areas of their business.
In 2021, the Company had invested in a start-up ("Fetcherr") that focused on
applying AI techniques to deliver real-time pricing and revenue enhancement
solutions for the airline industry. Over the last 4 years, Fetcherr has
succeeded in demonstrating its effectiveness and has acquired airline clients
large and small across the globe. Their pipeline of clients willing to adopt
their product continues to grow faster than they can keep pace. In July 2025,
Fetcherr raised capital at a valuation of USD 530m after having done so in
2024 at a USD 250m valuation.
In credit markets, demand for CLO debt and US Senior Secured Loans (US Loans)
was strong in the first half of 2025, as higher coupons of floating rate
securities and attracted income-oriented investors. US Loans have been further
well supported by healthy new CLO issuance and "reset" market
activity. Inflation has been generally good for credit over the last
few years but the effects of tariffs and a slower economic growth may
generate volatility and provide interesting opportunities to invest capital in
the next few quarters.
The CLO portfolio is currently much smaller than its peak in 2021. As the
Company did not materially invest in warehouses and new CLO equity between
April 2022 and Jan 2024, the CLO portfolio has amortized substantially and
cashflow is expected to be lower than in the previous years. The Company had
two warehouses open as of 30 June 2025. Post balance sheet, one warehouse
managed by Blackstone Credit has been converted to a CLO and has generated USD
0.821m in warehouse carry for the Company.
Financial Review
The NAV of the Company as at 30 June 2025 was USD 132.0m (31 December 2024:
USD 139.1m). The Loss after tax for the first half of 2025 was USD 1.2m, which
represents loss per share of USD 0.01.
The overall change in the NAV is primarily attributed to the following:

Livermore's Strategy
The Company's primary investment objective is to generate high current income
and regular cash flows. The financial portfolio is constructed around fixed
income instruments such as Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs") and other
securities or instruments with exposure primarily to senior secured and
usually broadly syndicated US loans. The Company has a long-term oriented
investment philosophy and invests primarily with a buy-and-hold mentality,
though from time to time the Company will sell investments to realize gains or
for risk management purposes.
Strong emphasis is given to maintaining sufficient liquidity and low leverage
at the overall portfolio level and to re-invest in existing and new
investments along the economic cycle.
Dividend & Buyback
On 23 May 2025, the Company announced an interim dividend of USD 7.0m (USD
0.0423 per share) to members on the register as at 6 June 2025. The dividend
was paid on 4 July 2025.
The Board of Directors will decide on the Company's dividend policy for 2025
based on profitability, liquidity requirements, portfolio performance, market
conditions, and the share price of the Company relative to its NAV.

Review of Activities
Economic & Investment Environment
Overall the first half of 2025 was a relatively challenging investment
environment as markets grappled with new US trade policy and its implications.
US GDP growth stalled in the first quarter of 2025 largely due to negative net
exports, with firms having front-loaded imports ahead of new tariffs, though
domestic private demand remained solid. The labour market stayed resilient,
with the unemployment rate at 4.1% in February and 4.2% in May, while
employment continued to rise. Inflation moderated during the period with
consumer price inflation at 2.8% in February and 2.4% in May. Nevertheless,
inflation is expected to rise again later in the year as the effect of new
tariffs feed through. The US Federal Reserve held rates steady emphasising a
wait-and-see approach in view of the uncertain environment.
The Euro area had an opposite effect with large pre-tariff exports to the US
driving first quarter growth to 0.6% over the previous quarter. Growth in the
second quarter was a much more modest 0.1% over the first quarter as exports
declined to catch up with the trend. Capacity utilisation remained below
average throughout, particularly in manufacturing, while employment growth was
modest. Inflation in the euro area eased further with headline consumer price
inflation was 2.3% in February but dropped to 1.9% in May, aligning with the
European Central Bank's target. Core inflation also moderated, from 2.6% in
February to 2.3% in May in response, the ECB lowered interest rates by 25
basis points in January, March, April, and June, reducing the deposit facility
rate to 2.0%. It remained cautious about future cuts, given the uncertainty
surrounding trade policy. The ECB also stopped reinvesting proceeds from
maturing securities under the APP (asset purchase programme) and PEPP
(pandemic emergency purchase program), shrinking its portfolio by 40 to 45
billion euros per month, or around 0.7% of its total balance sheet.
US equity markets started the year strongly in anticipation of a
business-friendly US administration under President Trump. The euphoria was
short-lived, however, as the new administration focused on re-writing global
trade in a bid to reshore manufacturing and production jobs in the US.
Investors sold risk assets overall and US assets in particular with US bond
yields rising in parallel with declines in the US equity markets and the US
Dollar. From peak to trough the S&P 500 Index declined by 21% but
subsequently closed higher the six month period by 5.5% as the US
administration lowered its rhetoric and large US trade partners scored better
than worst-case tariffs. US government bonds eked out a small gain with yields
on the 10 year bonds declining from 4.57% to 4.23%. The brunt of the pain,
however, was borne by the US Dollar, which declined by 10.7% as measured by
the DXY Index.
In the first half of 2025, leveraged loans recovered from the April
volatility, with average prices rising slightly to 96.48 from 96.37 and the
S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index delivering a 3.0% total return. Gross loan
issuance was $441 billion versus $703 billion a year earlier, while net
issuance was just $102 billion due to heavy refinancings and repayments;
institutional loans outstanding totalled $1.5 trillion at end of June. Credit
quality held firm, with the default rate at 1.11% (vs. 0.91% at year-end 2024
and a 2.57% long-term average.)
In the CLO market, gross issuance reached $100 billion in H1 2025 but net
issuance was $48 billion, while resets and refinancings totalled $108 billion
and $49 billion respectively. CLO AAA paydowns were $34 billion in H1 2025
with another $17 billion expected in July. Market-wide CCC exposure was 6.5%
with a market average overcollateralization cushion of 3.5%. AAA CLO spreads
tightened to 110 bps in April before widening to 130 bps, limiting new issue
arbitrage. With loans recovering and CLO equity yet to fully benefit , upside
potential exists for CLO equity investors assuming market stability.

Financial Portfolio and Trading Activity
The Company manages a financial portfolio valued at USD 101.5m as at 30 June
2025, which is invested mainly in fixed income and credit related securities.

Senior Secured Loans and CLOs
Overall, US loans performed well in the first half of 2025 generating a total
return of 3% despite the tariff-induced volatility. Strong demand from US CLO
creation provided a consistent bid for US loans. Average loan prices rose to
96.48 from 96.37 at the start of the year. The new issue loan market was
characterized by significant refinancing activity as new M&A activity
remained relatively muted. Total loan issuance was in excess of USD 440
billion while net new money amounted to a meagre USD 102 billion. While
default rates remained low by historical standards with the trailing 12 month
default rate at 1.11% as of end of June 2025, spread reduction from
refinancing activity cut CLO equity distributions and reduced valuations on
expectations of further net income reduction. At the same time, strong
refinancing activity significantly reduced the "maturity wall" and resulting
default risk with less than 1.75% of the loan market maturing before 2027.
In the first half of 2025, CLO new issuance grossed approximately $100 billion
tracking the same pace as in 2024. This year the high level of activity was
driven by "reset" and refinancing transactions with net new CLO issuance at a
moderate USD 48 billion.
In the last quarter of 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025, management
reduced overall exposure and booked some gains as the market felt euphoric.
Since then, overall CLO market performance and the Company's portfolio
performance has been more muted as refinancings on the US loans side cut into
the value of CLO equity and refinancings of CLO debt reduce income from CLO
debt tranches. Post balance sheet, the Company converted one of its two
warehouses into a CLO and generated USD 0.821m in net carry. Overall, the CLO
and warehouse portfolio was down by USD 1.8m in the first half of 2025.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Accounting policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Livermore have been
prepared on the basis of the accounting policies stated in the 2024 Annual
Report, available on www.livermore-inv.com (http://www.livermore-inv.com) .
The application of the IFRS pronouncements that became effective as of 1
January 2025 has no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
2. Critical accounting judgements
In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements,
management made judgements and assumptions. The actual results may differ from
those judgements and assumptions. The critical accounting judgements applied
in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were the same as
those applied and disclosed in the Company's last annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
3. Basis of preparation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the

7. Financial assets at fair value
The Company allocates its non-derivative financial assets at fair value (notes
5 and 6) as follows:
· Fixed income investments relate to investments in the loan market
through CLOs, open warehouse facilities, fixed and floating rate bonds, and
perpetual bank debt.
· Public equity investments relate to investments in shares of
companies listed on public stock exchanges.
· Private equity investments relate to investments in the form of
equity purchases in both high growth opportunities in emerging markets and
deep value opportunities in mature markets. The Company generally invests
directly in prospects where it can exert influence.
8. Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities
The table in note 8.2 presents financial assets and liabilities measured at
fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance
with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and
liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in
measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair
value hierarchy has the following levels:
· Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
· Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
and
· Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The level within which the financial asset is classified is determined based
on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.
8.1 Valuation of financial assets
· Fixed Income Investments (other than CLOs) and Public Equity
Investments are valued at their closing market prices on quoted exchanges, or
as quoted by market makers.
· CLOs are valued based on the valuation reports provided by market
makers. CLOs are typically valued by market makers using discounted cash flow
models. The key assumptions for cash flow projections include default and
recovery rates, prepayment rates and reinvestment assumptions on the
underlying portfolios (typically senior secured loans) of the CLOs.
Default and recovery rates: The amount and timing of defaults in the
underlying collateral and the amount and timing of recovery upon a default are
key to the future cash flows a CLO will distribute to the CLO equity tranche.
All else equal, higher default rates and lower recovery rates typically lead
to lower cash flows. Conversely, lower default rates and higher recoveries
lead to higher cash flows.
Prepayment rates: Senior loans can be pre-paid by borrowers. CLOs that
are within their reinvestment period may, subject to certain conditions,
reinvest such prepayments into other loans which may have different spreads
and maturities. CLOs that are beyond their reinvestment period typically pay
down their senior liabilities from proceeds of such pre-payments. Therefore,
the rate at which the underlying collateral prepays impacts the future cash
flows that the CLO may generate.
Reinvestment assumptions: A CLO within its reinvestment period may
reinvest proceeds from loan maturities, prepayments, and recoveries into
purchasing additional loans. The reinvestment assumptions define the
characteristics of the loans that a CLO may reinvest in. These assumptions
include the spreads, maturities, and prices of such loans. Reinvestment into
loans with higher spreads and lower prices will lead to higher cash flows.
Reinvestment into loans with lower spreads will typically lead to lower cash
flows.
Discount rate: The discount rate indicates the yield that market
participants expect to receive and is used to discount the projected future
cash flows. Higher yield expectations or discount rates lead to lower prices
and lower discount rates lead to higher prices for CLOs.
Investments in open warehouse facilities that have not yet been
converted to CLOs, are valued based on an adjusted net asset valuation.
· Private equity investments are valued mainly on the basis of
valuations reported by third-party managers of such investments. Real estate
entities are valued by independent qualified property valuers with substantial
relevant experience on such investments. Underlying property values are
determined based on their estimated market values.
· Investments in subsidiaries are valued at fair value as determined
on a net asset valuation basis. The Company has determined that the reported
net asset value of each subsidiary represents its fair value at the end of the
reporting period.
8.2 Fair value hierarchy
Financial assets measured at fair value are grouped into the fair value

The Company has not developed any quantitative unobservable inputs for
measuring the fair value of its Level 3 financial assets. Instead, the Company
used prices from third-party pricing information without adjustment.
Private equity investments within level 3 have been measured based on their
net asset value, which is primarily driven by the fair value of their
underlying investments. In all cases, considering that such investments are
measured at fair value, the carrying amounts of their underlying assets and
liabilities are considered as representative of their fair values
Investments in subsidiaries have been valued based on their net asset
position. The main assets of the subsidiaries represent investments measured
at fair value and receivables from the Company itself as well as third
parties. Their net asset value is considered as a fair approximation of their
fair value.
A reasonable change in any individual significant input used in the Level 3
valuations is not anticipated to have a significant change in fair values as
above.

Review Report to the Members of Livermore Investments
Group Limited
Review Report on the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
Livermore Investments Group Limited (the ''Company'') and its subsidiary
(together with the Company "the Group"), which are presented in pages 7 to 25
and comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2025 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025,
and notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of
these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to interim financial
reporting as adopted by the European Union ('IAS34 Interim Financial
Reporting'). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim
condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410, 'Review of
Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us
to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial
information does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the entity as at 30 June 2025, and of its financial performance
and its cash flows for the six month period then ended in accordance with IAS
34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Chairman's and Chief
Executive's Review and Review of Activities, but does not include the
condensed consolidated financial statements and our review report thereon.
Our conclusion on the condensed consolidated financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our review of the condensed consolidated financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the review or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Other Matter
This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the
Group's members as a body and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this
conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any
other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.
