Tern PLC - investment company specialising in supporting early-stage internet of things technology businesses - Swings to pretax loss of GBP10.4 million in 2022 from a profit of GBP4.6 million in 2021. Total net assets amount to GBP24.9 million as at December 31, down from GBP32.4 million a year earlier. NAV per share decreases to 6.4 pence from 9.2p. Says the reduction in net assets is primarily due to "movements in investments held at fair value through the profit or loss and a reduction in the cash balance".

Chief Executive Officer Al Sisto says: "We believe that our portfolio remain well positioned for successful exits at the right time. While uncertainty may persist in the shorter term, we are heartened by the indicators we are seeing in the market that point to a return to improvements in valuations."
