News Release
Guernsey, 25 June 2021
NAV increases by 1.2% in May
· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's (Princess or the Company) net asset value increased by 1.2% to EUR 14.54 per share
· Portfolio developments (+1.6%) were positive while currency movements were negative (-0.2%)
· Princess received distributions of EUR 12.2 million
In May, Princess' NAV increased by 1.2%. The positive performance was driven by a number of portfolio companies, with the largest contribution from SRS Distribution (SRS), a US distributor of roofing products. The value of SRS has been written up following a period of strong financial performance. SRS acquired Arrowhead Building Supply, a distributor of residential and commercial roofing, siding, and other related products in May. Arrowhead Building Supply is one of the largest independent roofing distributors in the Midwest and is expected to make an excellent addition to the footprint SRS has in the region.
During the month Princess received distributions of EUR 12.2 million, of which EUR 7.7 million stemmed from the sale of BarBri, a US-based provider of bar exam preparation services. Following strategic product investments and a number of acquisitions in recent years, Barbri now provides a comprehensive product suite addressing the complete legal education lifecycle.
Further, Princess received a distribution of EUR 3.6 million from United States Infrastructure Corporation (USIC), a US-based provider of underground utility locating services. Partners Group continues to work closely with USIC to expand its utility solutions offering. The company is targeting the launch of select services into new markets over the coming year, while continuing with its acquisition strategy.
The remaining balance was received predominantly from Princess' mature legacy fund portfolio.
