News Release
Guernsey, 25 March 2019
NAV increases by 1.8% in February
· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's (Princess) net asset value increased by 1.8% to EUR 11.15 per share
· Portfolio developments (+2.2%) were positive while currency movements were slightly positive (0.1%)
· Princess received distributions of EUR 7.5 million while there was no investment activity during the month
Princess received distributions of EUR 7.5 million during the month, predominantly from the mature legacy fund portfolio. There were no new investments made during the month.
The largest value drivers during the month were the investments in Global Logic and Action. GlobalLogic, a global provider of software product engineering services, reported double-digit growth in both its revenue and EBITDA for the twelve months ended 31 December 2018. The robust financial performance was driven by a number of new customer contracts in addition to increased sales to existing clients.
Princess' largest holding, Action, a European non-food discount retailer also reported strong financial results with an increase in operating EBITDA to EUR 450 million in 2018, an increase of 16.3% compared to previous year. The performance mainly stems from top-line growth with consolidated net sales having increased by 23.3% to EUR 4,216 million. This increase was supported by the opening of 230 new stores over the course of 2018.
Further information is available in the monthly report, which can be accessed via: http://www.princess-privateequity.net/financialreports.
