CapMan Plc Group’s Interim Report, 1 January – 30 September 2011
Performance during the review period:
- Group turnover totalled MEUR 25.6 (January-September 2010: MEUR 29.7).
- The Group’s operating profit was MEUR 11.0 (MEUR 6.0).
- The Management Company business recorded an operating profit of MEUR 1.2 (MEUR 4.6). The Fund Investment business recorded an operating profit of MEUR 9.8 (MEUR 1.3), of which exits accounted for approximately half.
- Profit before taxes was MEUR 14.0 (MEUR 8.6) and profit after taxes was MEUR 10.5 (MEUR 7.0).
- Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was MEUR 10.3 (MEUR 6.8). Earnings per share were 10.1 cents (5.9 cents).
- Capital under management as of 30 September 2011 totalled MEUR 3,315.1 (30 September 2010: MEUR 3,578.3). A total of MEUR 30 of new capital was raised for the CapMan Mezzanine V fund after the review period, and the fund’s size now stands at MEUR 90.
- Our guidance for 2011 remains unchanged. We expect CapMan’s operating profit for 2011 to exceed the 2010 operating profit, mainly as a result of positive development in CapMan’s own fund investments. CapMan recorded an operating profit of MEUR 6.3 excluding non-recurring items in 2010. Our guidance assumes that developments in the fair value of CapMan’s own fund investments will be neutral during the fourth quarter.
CEO Lennart Simonsen:
“CapMan’s performance and the development of our funds’ portfolio companies and properties were good during the review period. The volume of deal flow continues to remain at a good level and our funds continue to have several exit processes ongoing both for portfolio companies and real estate properties. The unease affecting the financial markets has had only a limited effect on our operations so far. Following the exits made during the review period, CapMan has a good financial position supported by 59.9% equity ratio. The visibility for the remaining part of 2011 and early 2012 is weak at the moment and, if continued, the uncertain market situation could delay our exits and reduce the availability of bank financing for M&A transactions and funding the development of our portfolio companies. After the review period we have successfully raised MEUR 30 of new capital to the CapMan Mezzanine V fund. Our next significant fundraising rounds are scheduled for 2012.”
