PERFORMANCE

NET ASSET VALUE

The NAV comprises total assets less total liabilities, and equates to total equity under International Financial Reporting Standards. The increase in the NAV of € 407 million during the period reflects increases in the estimated fair value of certain investments including British American Tobacco p.l.c. (‘BAT’), Pension Insurance Corporation Group Limited (‘Pension Corporation’), other listed investments and Prescient China funds, together with dividends received from BAT and Pension Corporation. Offsetting these increases are decreases in the estimated fair value of certain investments including NanoDimension funds and other investments, together with realised losses on certain investments, the dividend paid by the Company and accrued expenses in respect of management and performance fees. Details of the Company’s NAV and details of movements in key investments can be found on pages 2 and 3 of this report.

 

Reinet records its assets and liabilities in euro; the strengthening of sterling against the euro offset by the weakening of the US dollar against the euro during the period resulted in an overall increase in the value of certain assets and liabilities in euro terms. Applying current period-end exchange rates to the March 2024 assets and liabilities would have resulted in an increase in the March 2024 NAV of some € 84 million.

 

SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME

As at 30 September 2024, there was no share buyback programme in progress.

 

The Company repurchased 14 151 395 ordinary shares between November 2018 and May 2022 under five share buyback programmes. The cost of the ordinary shares repurchased amounted to € 222 million, plus transaction costs.

 

Details of each completed share buyback programme to date can be found in note 7 to the consolidated unaudited financial statements at 30 September 2024.

 

All ordinary shares repurchased are held as treasury shares.

 

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The NAV per share of the Company is calculated by dividing the NAV by the number of shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) of 181 790 891 (31 March 2024: 181 790 891).

GLOBAL MARKETS BACKDROP

During the period, geopolitical uncertainty increased with global markets continuing to be impacted by the effects of the Ukraine crisis, turmoil in the Middle East and high interest rates and inflation. Whilst inflation and interest rates have started to fall, the extent and impact of on-going world-wide factors remain uncertain.

 

Reinet has no direct exposure to Russia, Ukraine or the Middle East through its underlying investments or banking relationships and has not experienced any significant direct impacts in respect of interest rate fluctuations or inflation. Reinet has various banking relationships with highly rated institutions, and a well-diversified approach to cash and liquidity management.

 

Reinet continues to value its investments in line with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (‘IPEV’) guidelines and its approved valuation procedures and methodologies. All investment valuations have been prepared using latest available data, including exchange rates and listed share prices as at 30 September 2024. Discussions have taken place with fund managers and investee companies to determine any significant changes in value and any impacts related to the various geo-political areas of conflict, volatility in stock and currency markets, interest rates, inflation and exposure to certain financial institutions. Future valuations will take into account any new impacts of the above, which could affect the valuation of underlying investments.

 

INVESTMENTS

Reinet seeks, through a range of investment structures, to build partnerships with other investors, specialised fund managers and entrepreneurs to find and develop opportunities for long-term value creation for its shareholders.

 

Since its formation in 2008, Reinet has invested some € 3.8 billion, and at 30 September 2024 committed to provide further funding of € 412 million to its current investments. Details of the funding commitments outstanding are given in the table on page 11 of this report. Commitments totalling € 96 million were funded during the period, no significant new commitments were made.

 

Major items impacting the NAV, significant changes in carrying value and new investments during the period under review are described below.

 

LISTED INVESTMENTS

 

BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO P.L.C.

The investment in BAT remains one of Reinet’s largest investments and is kept under constant review, considering the company’s performance, the industry outlook, cash flows from dividends, stock market performance, volatility and liquidity.

 

During the period under review, dividend income recorded from BAT amounted to € 68 million (£ 56 million), being BAT’s second 2024 interim dividend of some € 34 million (£ 28 million) received in August 2024 together with the third interim dividend of some € 34 million (£ 28 million) with a record date of 27 September 2024. The third interim dividend will be paid on 1 November 2024 and has been included as a receivable in the NAV as at 30 September 2024.

 

The first 2024 interim dividend of some € 33 million (£ 28 million) was received in May 2024 and was recorded as a receivable in Reinet’s March 2024 results.

 

Reinet holds 48.3 million shares in BAT (31 March 2024: 48.3 million), representing some 2.18 per cent of BAT’s issued share capital.

 

The value of Reinet’s investment in BAT amounted to € 1 581 million at 30 September 2024 (31 March 2024: € 1 359 million), being some 24.0 per cent of Reinet’s NAV (31 March 2024: 22.0 per cent). The BAT share price on the London Stock Exchange increased from £ 24.06 at 31 March 2024 to £ 27.24 at 30 September 2024; this together with the effect of sterling strengthening against the euro in the period, resulting in an increase in value of € 222 million.

 

In its 30 June 2024 half-year report, BAT reported that performance is in line with expectations, and that it is on track to deliver its full-year guidance. In the first six months of 2024, BAT increased its organic new category contribution and expects to deliver further improvement in revenue and profitability across new categories for the full year. BAT is a highly cash generative business, which is committed to continuing to reward shareholders with strong cash returns. It has made progress in enhancing financial flexibility which enabled the initiation of a sustainable share buy-back programme. BAT expects to progressively improve its performance to deliver a 3-5 per cent revenue growth, along with mid-single digit adjusted profit from operations growth on an organic constant currency basis by 2026.

Valuation methodologies applied include the NAV of investment funds, discounted cash flow models and comparable valuation multiples, as appropriate.

 

PENSION INSURANCE CORPORATION GROUP LIMITED

Pension Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pension Insurance Corporation plc (‘Pension Insurance Corporation’), is a leading provider in the UK pension risk transfer market.

 

During the first half of 2024, Pension Insurance Corporation concluded new business premiums of £ 3 billion (first half of 2023: £ 6.5 billion) across nine schemes with clients including Next, De Beers, and TotalEnergies. The transaction with TotalEnergies UK Pension Plan, covering £ 1.2 billion of liabilities, was won in part due to the strong relationship forged with the trustees in the decade since Pension Insurance Corporation insured £ 1.6 billion of the TotalEnergies pension plan liabilities. A further £ 1.6 billion of new business was either in exclusivity, or signed, as at the end of August 2024.

 

At 30 June 2024, assets held amounted to £ 47.7 billion (31 December 2023: £ 46.8 billion) and insurance liabilities stood at £ 42.1 billion (31 December 2023: £ 41.2 billion). Pension Corporation’s solvency ratio increased to 234 per cent at 30 June 2024, up from 211 per cent at 31 December 2023.

 

In its 30 June 2024 half-year report, Pension Corporation reported that it had a strong half year as it focussed on developing its offering for trustees seeking to de-risk their members’ pensions, including launching their streamlined service for small schemes, known as ‘Mosaic’.

 

Pension Corporation continuously works to improve its already excellent levels of service for its policyholders, a key part of its strategy, and was rewarded with multiple awards based on its customer service offering. The number of pensions insured now stands at 348 600 (31 December 2023: 339 900) and pension payments made in the first six months of 2024 amounted to a record £ 1.1 billion.

 

Pension Corporation continues to invest in UK infrastructure and housing based on its partnership approach and intends to invest significantly more in these areas over the coming years.

 

In April 2024, the shareholders of Pension Corporation approved a dividend of 11.0 pence per ordinary share. Reinet’s share of the dividend amounting to some € 85 million (£ 73 million) was received in May 2024. In September 2024, the board of directors of Pension Corporation approved an interim dividend of 11.0 pence per ordinary share and a special dividend of 8.0 pence per ordinary share. Reinet’s share of these dividends amounting to € 150 million (£ 125 million) was received in September 2024.

 

In August 2024, Fitch affirmed Pension Insurance Corporation’s Insurer Financial Strength rating at A+ (Strong) and Long-Term Issuer Default rating at A.

 

Reinet’s shareholding in Pension Corporation remained at 49.5 per cent in the period under review.

 

Reinet’s investment in Pension Corporation is carried at an estimated fair value of € 3 469 million at 30 September 2024 (31 March 2024: € 3 436 million). This value takes into account Pension Corporation’s adjusted equity own funds value at 30 June 2024 of some £ 6.3 billion (31 December 2023: £ 6.3 billion) adjusted for dividends paid in September 2024 of £ 253 million, corresponding valuation multiples drawn from industry data for a selected UK insurance peer group as at 30 September 2024, and a discount of 10 per cent which takes into account the illiquid nature of Reinet’s investment.

 

The increase in Reinet’s estimated fair value of Pension Corporation over the six-month period is mainly due to an increase in comparable company multiples derived from public information of listed peer group companies in the UK insurance sector, together with the strengthening of sterling against the euro in the period, offset by the payment of the September 2024 dividends as set out above.

 

The investment in Pension Corporation represented some 52.6 per cent of Reinet’s NAV at 30 September 2024, compared to 55.6 per cent at 31 March 2024.

PRIVATE EQUITY AND RELATED PARTNERSHIPS

TRILANTIC CAPITAL PARTNERS

Trilantic Capital Partners (‘Trilantic’) is composed of Trilantic North America and Trilantic Europe, two separate and independent private equity investment advisors focused on making controlling and significant minority interest investments in companies in their respective geographies. Trilantic North America currently targets investments in the business services and consumer sectors, and currently manages five fund families. Trilantic Europe primarily targets investments in the industrials, consumer and leisure, telecommunication, media and technology, business services and healthcare sectors, and currently manages three fund families.

 

Reinet and its minority partner invest in certain of the Trilantic general partnerships (‘Trilantic Management’). Reinet and its minority partner, through Reinet TCP Holdings Limited, invest in two of the current funds under Trilantic’s management. Reinet also directly invests in three additional funds under Trilantic’s management. The terms of investment applicable to Reinet’s investment in the Trilantic funds provide that Reinet will not pay any management fees or carried interest. In addition, Reinet receives a share of the carried interest payable on the realisation of investments held in the funds once a hurdle rate has been achieved.

 

Reinet TCP Holdings Limited invests in Trilantic Capital Partners IV L.P. (‘Fund IV’) and Trilantic Capital Partners IV (Europe) L.P.; these funds are in the process of realising the remaining underlying investments.

 

Reinet is invested in Trilantic Capital Partners V (North America) L.P. which is in the process of realising the remaining underlying investments.

 

In 2017, Reinet invested in Trilantic Capital Partners VI Parallel (North America) L.P. (collectively with its parallel vehicles, ‘Fund VI’) and Trilantic Energy Partners II Parallel (North America) L.P. (collectively with its parallel vehicles, ‘TEP II’). These US-based funds are focused on North American opportunities with TEP II being especially focused on the energy industry sector; these funds are in the process of realising the remaining underlying investments.

Reinet’s investment in Trilantic Management and the above funds is carried at an estimated fair value of € 432 million at 30 September 2024 (31 March 2024: € 443 million) of which € 3 million (31 March 2024: € 3 million) is attributable to the minority partner. The estimated fair value is based on unaudited valuation data provided by Trilantic Management at 30 June 2024, adjusted for movements in listed investments and cash movements up to 30 September 2024.

 

The decrease in the estimated fair value is due to net distributions of € 8 million, together with the weakening of the US dollar against the euro in the period.
