RNS Number : 2334N

News Release

Guernsey, 31 May 2022

 

Princess publishes April NAV

 

· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess" or the "Company") net asset value decreased by 0.6% to EUR 15.18 per share

· Portfolio developments were negative (-0.4%) while currency movements were positive (+0.3%)

· Princess invested EUR 22.7 million and received distributions of EUR 12.4 million

 

In April, the Company's NAV decreased by 0.6%, reflecting declines in global equity markets which are putting downward pressure on the valuation multiples used to value Princess' portfolio companies.

 

Princess invested a total of EUR 22.7 million, of which EUR 12.4 million was invested in Forefront Dermatology ("Forefront"), the largest, most diversified dermatology group practice in the US. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Forefront has over 200 dermatology clinics across 22 states. The group practice comprises over 400 board-certified dermatologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. The company's mission is to offer patients superior access to world-class, board-certified care within their communities. Partners Group will draw on its extensive experience working with physician partners, multi-site healthcare practices, and executive teams to maintain Forefront's quality- and outcomes-focused culture and support its differentiated patient- and physician-centric approach. Key value creation initiatives will include investing in physician leadership and ownership, improving operational excellence, and expanding Forefront's integrated dermatology ecosystem through investing in its technology, cosmetics service offering, and patient care.

 

EUR 5.2 million was invested in Climeworks, a leading Swiss designer, developer, and operator of Direct Air Capture ("DAC") plants. Founded in 2009 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, Climeworks generates revenues through selling carbon dioxide removal services to businesses and individuals. Today, the company has built 15 DAC plants, including the world's largest DAC and storage plant, which started operations last September in Iceland. The capital from this equity round is anticipated to be used for capacity scale-up and geographical expansion - pilot projects have started in the US, the Nordics, and the Middle East - as well as investment into technology development and scaling the organization. Climeworks aims to become a dominant platform in the growing DAC market. Partners Group will work with the management team and other investors to help scale Climeworks, as well as support its commercialization strategy and international expansion.

 

Princess received distributions of EUR 12.4 million during April, of which EUR 10 million stemmed from a partial redemption from its investment in senior loans. In line with previous guidance, the capital will be redeployed in direct private equity investments. The remaining balance of EUR 2.4 million was predominantly received from Princess' mature legacy fund portfolio.
