Update regarding Techem
Following the announcement on 1st October 2024, PGPE Ltd informs shareholders
that although the previously disclosed sale of Techem did not close as
originally structured, a new transaction has been agreed. PGPE Ltd is pleased
to announce that Partners Group, its Investment Manager, has formed a
consortium that will invest in the next growth phase of Techem, an
international provider of digitally enabled solutions for the real estate
sector.
· The transaction values the Company's stake in Techem, its
7th largest portfolio company, at approximately EUR 39 million, which is in
line with the latest published carrying value
· As part of the transaction, PGPE Ltd will reinvest approximately EUR
18 million to retain participation in the company's future growth
· Techem has over 440,000 customers in 18 countries and services more
than 13 million dwellings
· Growth will be driven by digitization and expansion of complementary
offerings
Partners Group, the Investment Manager of PGPE Ltd and one of the largest
firms in the global private markets industry, GIC, a leading global investor,
TPG Rise Climate, the dedicated climate investing strategy of TPG's global
impact investing platform, and Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi
based investment company, are to invest in Techem ("the company"), an
international provider of digitally enabled solutions for the real estate
sector. The transaction values Techem at an enterprise value of around EUR 6.7
billion. The transaction is expected to close in H2 2025, subject to customary
conditions and regulatory approvals.
The transaction values the stake of PGPE Ltd in Techem at approximately EUR 39
million, in line with the last published carrying value as of 31 May 2025. As
part of the transaction, PGPE Ltd will reduce its exposure to Techem and will
reinvest approximately EUR 18 million to retain participation in the
company's future growth. A majority portion of the proceeds is expected to be
distributed in H2 2025, with the remaining to be distributed at a subsequent
date.
Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Eschborn, Germany, Techem provides energy
services, including resource management, residential health, and building
efficiency, as well as energy contracting services to property managers and
owners of multi-tenant residential buildings. The company has over 440,000
customers in 18 countries and services more than 13 million dwellings.
Techem's core submetering service yields strong environmental and economic
benefits through fair cost allocation, driving down energy consumption and
emissions at the most competitive cost. Techem's state-of-the-art devices and
services are critical to advancing the long-term decarbonization of the real
estate sector, which still drives approximately 40% of global CO2 emissions.
Around 62 million of Techem's devices are currently installed worldwide.
In 2018, Techem was acquired by a consortium led by Partners Group. The group
oversaw a period of strong growth at the company, with revenues reaching over
EUR 1 billion and EBITDA growing c. 50%. As part of this transaction, that
consortium will exit their stakes in the company.
The new ownership consortium will implement a value creation plan focused on
strengthening Techem's position as a leading digital-first provider of
submetering solutions for the real estate sector across Europe.
Ends.
