Princess NAV increases by 2.3% in May

Princess' net asset value (NAV) increased by 2.3% to EUR 8.96 per share in May, maintaining the strong NAV trend over recent months. The bulk of the NAV increase over the month was attributable to valuation developments of portfolio companies, as both exits and the improving operating performance of underlying portfolio companies culminated in a +1.6% increase in Princess' NAV. For instance, the announced exit of the Swiss-based pharmaceutical company Nycomed had a positive impact on Princess' NAV, as this exit was realized at a significant premium to Princess' previous carrying value for the company. The NAV received an added boost from Princess' largest portfolio company, General Nutrition Centers (GNC), as its share price continued to rise following the recent initial public offering (IPO). Also, in contrast to previous months, currency effects had a positive impact, adding 0.9% to May's NAV, as the US dollar rebounded against the euro.

In May Princess' portfolio generated net cash of EUR 10.0 million, as exits of its mature portfolio companies generated distributions of EUR 13.8 million. For instance Kruk, a Polish receivables management company, returned EUR 1.5 million after successfully floating on the Warsaw Stock Exchange last month. This generated an 8x return on the original investment. Capital calls for new investments over the four week investment horizon equated to EUR 3.8 million.

During the month the Board of Directors of Princess announced the resumption of the dividend program and declared an interim dividend of EUR 0.22 to be paid on each Ordinary Share on 15 July 2011. The May-end NAV of EUR 8.96 per share does not account for the declared interim dividend of EUR 0.22 per share. The pro-forma ex-dividend NAV as of 31 May 2011 would thus amount to EUR 8.74 per share. Shares started trading ex-dividend on 8 June 2011.
