Monthly Performance Update

1 Aug 2016 07:00

RNS Number : 7541F
Pantheon International PLC
01 August 2016
 

1st August 2016

 

Pantheon International Plc

Performance Update at 30th June 2016

 

Month to 30th June 2016

 

Pantheon International Plc ("PIP") announces an unaudited net asset value ("NAV") per share at 30th June 2016 of 1,873.6p, an increase of 134.0p (7.7%) from the NAV per share as at 31st May 2016. Valuation gains (1.2p, 0.1%), investment income (2.8p, 0.2%) and foreign exchange movements (143.2p, 8.2%) were offset by a provision in relation to asset sales (-10.6p, -0.6%) and expenses and taxes* (-2.6p, -0.2%).

PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of PIP's valuation at 30th June 2016, the majority of reported valuations (accounting for circa 92% by value) are dated 31st March 2016.

 

 

At 30th June 2016, PIP's private equity assets stood at £1,072m, whilst cash balances were £116m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £388m at 30th June 2016, calculated using exchange rates at that date. In addition, PIP's multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement, comprising a US$100m facility and a €46m facility, remained completely undrawn.

 

PIP's portfolio generated net cash of £26.5m during the month, with distributions of £30.4m relative to £3.9m of calls from existing commitments to private equity funds.

 

During the month, PIP undertook to dispose of 34 tail-end fund interests with a NAV of £32.9m as at the record date of 30th September 2015, comprising mainly North American venture and buyout funds formed between 2000 and 2007. A provision for the loss on disposal of these interests, expected to total £6.7m at current exchange rates, has been included in this month's performance update. The manager expects that PIP will be able to redeploy the proceeds into more attractive investment opportunities.

 

PIP completed three new investments during the month, amounting to £46.3m of total commitments. This included £34.0m in a global portfolio of secondary commitments to buyout funds that was 70% funded at completion, and an £11.1m secondary commitment to a European medium buyout fund that was 97% funded at completion. PIP also made a primary commitment for £1.3m to BC European Capital X, a European large buyout fund.

For the year ended 30th June 2016

 

The NAV per share at 30th June 2016 of 1,873.6p is an increase of 341.2p, or 22.3% for the financial year. Underlying portfolio gains (79.4p, 5.2%), investment income (18.3p, 1.2%), foreign exchange movements (263.0p, 17.2%) and share buybacks (17.3p, 1.1%) were partially offset by a provision in relation to asset sales (-10.6p, -0.7%) and expenses and taxes* (-26.2p, -1.7%).

PIP's portfolio generated £190m of cash during the year, with distributions of £252m relative to £62m of calls from existing commitments to private equity funds.

 

PIP made 59 new investments in the year with total commitments of £349.3m. This included 13 secondary investments totalling £173.2m; 20 primary commitments amounting to £93.9m; and 26 co-investments, committing £82.2m.

 

During the year, PIP invested £21.9m in share buybacks, acquiring 1,900,000 redeemable shares at an average price of 1,153.3p. These purchases were made at prices that represented discounts of between 26% and 34% compared to the latest NAV per share that had been published at the time the purchases were made.

 

Commenting on the results, Andrew Lebus, Partner at Pantheon Ventures (UK) LLP, said: "Despite the market volatility over the past year, PIP's NAV has shown solid growth. We believe that the Company's diversified portfolio puts it in a strong position to withstand regional challenges and that the cash generated from its mature investments will allow PIP to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise as a result. We continue to focus on delivering attractive returns to shareholders over the long term."

 

Foreign Exchange Exposure

 

At 30th June 2016, the value of the private equity investment assets stood at £1,072m. Of the private equity investment assets at PIP's holding level, 75% were represented by funds reporting values denominated in US Dollars, 19% denominated in Euros, 5% denominated in Sterling and 1% denominated in other currencies. Of the 75% of investment assets denominated in US Dollars, approximately 4% (expressed as a proportion of PIP's total portfolio) are invested in funds investing mainly in Europe and approximately 8% (expressed as a proportion of PIP's total portfolio) in funds investing mainly in Asia. In addition to the funds reporting values denominated in Sterling, many of the Euro-denominated funds have investments in the UK.
