Princess publishes Half-Year Report 2022

Princess Private Equity Holding Limited ("Princess" or the "Company") today published its Half-Year Report for 2022. The key items were:

· Net asset value ("NAV") decreased to EUR 13.76 per share, representing a total return of -7.5% including the first interim dividend.

· Share price total return over the same period was -13.5%.

· The first interim dividend of EUR 0.38 per share was paid to shareholders in June, in line with the objective to distribute 5% of opening NAV for each financial year, via semi-annual payments in June and December.

· Portfolio developments (-6.1%) were the main driver for the NAV decline during the first half of the year, while the impact of currency movements was positive (+0.4%). Among the largest positive contributors to performance during the reporting period were Princess' investments in AlliedUniversal and KinderCare.

· Princess received distributions amounting to EUR 100.9 million during the first six months of 2022. EUR 58.9 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. An amount of EUR 38.2 million was received from direct investments, including proceeds from the sale of Voyage Care. The remaining EUR 3.8 million was received from the Company's mature legacy fund portfolio.

· Investment activity totalled EUR 62.7 million including new investments in Pharmathen, Forefront Dermatology, Precisely and Climeworks.

Richard Battey, Chairman comments: "Global capital market volatility dominated the first six months of 2022, with valuation developments being the main driver for the NAV decline. Despite the negative performance, Princess has compared favorably to public markets (e.g. MSCI World -13.5%) for a few key reasons. Firstly, the Company has a mature portfolio diversified across several vintage years, which tends to favor defensive assets in sectors with lower inherent cyclicality. Secondly, Princess' portfolio assets continued to have strong fundamental performance in H1. Thirdly, Partners Group's historically disciplined approach to investment underwriting and portfolio construction has helped prepare the portfolio for the increased volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty we currently see. Although economic challenges are unlikely to dissipate in the short term, I am confident that Princess is prepared to navigate the potentially uncertain times ahead."

A detailed analysis and commentary on the developments of Princess during H1 2022 is presented in the Half-Year Report published today, which can be accessed via: https://www.princess-privateequity.net/en/investor-relations/financial-reports/

A copy of the above document has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
