RNS Number : 1431T  Partners Group Private Equity Ltd  16 February 2026

(LSE: PEY/PEYS)

 

Partners Group Private Equity Limited

 

NAV decreased by 2.8% in December 2025

 

 

·    NAV decreased to EUR 13.00 per share as of 31 December 2025,
corresponding to EUR 891.52 million. Across the full year 2025, NAV total
return was down 8.7%, primarily impacted by currency headwinds (-5.7%)

·    Portfolio revaluations (-2.1%) and unfavorable currency movements
(-0.6%) impacted NAV in December

·    PGPE Ltd received EUR 57.7 million in distributions and invested EUR
13.5 million during the month

·    As of 31 December 2025, PGPE Ltd had cash and cash equivalents of EUR
8.1 million and an undrawn credit facility of EUR 150 million

·    PGPE Ltd spent EUR 5.8 million on share buybacks in Q4 2025,
acquiring 562,025 ordinary shares under the EUR 15 million program announced
in October 2025

 

In December 2025, NAV was affected by continued US dollar weakness against the
euro as well as revaluations that were largely related to two direct
investments. Ammega, a global leader in belting solutions, was confronted with
continued industry-wide softer trading performance but still demonstrated
operational resilience. Pharmathen, a leading contract development and
manufacturing organization specialized in advanced drug delivery, experienced
a disruption in its long acting injectables manufacturing operations.

 

Portfolio activity overall remained robust. PGPE Ltd received EUR 57.7 million
in December, bringing the full year proceeds to more than EUR 200 million and
marking the highest quantum of distributions received since 2021. This is in
contrast to continued low levels of distributions across the global private
equity industry as a whole.

 

A significant portion of December's proceeds stemmed from International
Schools Partnership ("ISP"), following the sale of a 20% stake to CVC
Strategic Opportunities. Since its founding in 2013, ISP has evolved into a
global K‑12 education platform operating 111 schools across 25 countries. As
part of the transaction, PGPE Ltd received proceeds amounting to EUR 42.3
million and also reinvested EUR 13.2 million to retain participation in the
company's next phase of growth. Future value creation at ISP will focus on
continued expansion, enhanced proprietary technology in teaching, and further
investment in school infrastructure.

 

Other distributions included EUR 3.4 million from Esentia Energy Development,
a fully integrated natural gas pipeline network in Mexico, which began trading
on the Mexican Stock Exchange on 20 November 2025, following the pricing of
its initial public offering. Further distributions included EUR 3.7 million in
proceeds from the exit of Park Place Technologies, a US-headquartered
third-party maintenance provider of 'post-warranty' data center maintenance
services, and an additional EUR 4.1 million related to the previously
announced sale of Apex Logistics, an integrated global logistics solutions
provider.

 

A total of EUR 57.6 million was distributed to shareholders across the full
year 2025, predominantly through EUR 51.8 million in dividends, recognizing
the importance placed by the Board on regular and predictable distributions to
shareholders. This reflects the dividend policy of paying to shareholders
annually 5% of the previous year end's closing net assets. The remaining EUR
5.8 million comprised share buybacks, with the Company having acquired
562,025 ordinary shares under the EUR 15 million program announced in
October 2025.

 

Finally, the Company has extended its share buyback program through to 30
April 2026, enabling utilisation of the remaining allocated amount. With
approximately EUR 8.1 million in cumulative share buybacks as of the end of
January, the Board remains focused on deploying the program proactively to
create shareholder value.

 

Ends.
