NAV up 2.9% over 9 months, dividend included. Significant recovery in activity since the second quarter

Paris, 14 November 2024 – Net Asset Value per share stood at €35.58 as of 30 September 2024, after a dividend payment of €1.08 per share on 24 May.

Including the dividend, NAV per share was up 2.9% compared with 31 December 2023 (€35.62).

We remind investors that as of 31 March and 30 September, Altamir revalues only the listed companies in the portfolio and those whose divestment is announced during the quarter.

1. PERFORMANCE

Net Asset Value (shareholders' equity, IFRS basis) stood at €1,299.2 million (vs. €1,296.8 million as of 30 June 2024 and €1,300.7 million as of 31 December 2023).

The change in NAV during the quarter resulted from the following factors:

The €16.9 million of value created during the quarter was mainly due to the revaluation of Europe Snacks at its divestment price (positive impact of €11.3 million in the Consumer sector) and the increase in ThoughtWorks' share price (positive impact of €6.0 million in the Tech & Telco sector).
