"In 2025, we sharpened our focus on developing a stable, more mature, and more profitable portfolio. While our companies' operational performance was solid on aggregate, net asset value creation was negatively affected by a decline in comparable public market multiples and adverse currency movements. Disappointing developments in Climate Tech also weighed on our performance. Meanwhile, we saw large funding rounds at Perk, Mews and Enveda - all at meaningful premiums to our NAV. We selectively added new investments in our focus sectors through the year and accelerated the maturing of our portfolio by investing USD 100m in new core company Oviva - a leading profitable European digital health platform for weight-related and chronic illnesses."
Georgi Ganev, CEO of Kinnevik
