CEO’s comment:

We continue to systematically implement our growth strategy. At the end of the second quarter, CapMan’s assets under management stood at EUR 6.5 billion, a growth of 8% from the beginning of the year. In June we announced the acquisition of CAERUS Debt Investments AG and the expansion into Real Asset Debt. The acquisition will add some 700 million euros of assets under management in the third quarter.

For the first half of 2025 fee income was 1% below previous year, mainly due to the of timing of the final closings during the comparison period. Looking at the underlying recurring fee income, the development continued in line with the assets under management growth.

The increased economic and geopolitical uncertainty have limited immediate impact on CapMan’s existing fee generating business, as it is based on long-term agreements with good predictability. However, the increased uncertainty is slowing fundraising processes.

New investment area Real Asset Debt established with the acquisition of German real estate debt specialist CAERUS Debt Investments AG

In July CapMan acquired 51 percent of the share capital in CAERUS Debt Investments AG, one of the pioneers and market leading German real estate debt investment managers. This expansion and consequent establishment of Real Asset Debt as a new investment area, supports our objective to reach EUR 10 billion of assets under management and further strengthens CapMan’s focus on real assets by complementing the existing real estate, infrastructure and natural capital investment areas. I am extremely excited to welcome the whole CAERUS team as part of CapMan and look forward to our future value creation journey together.

Continued solid investment activity and performance across funds

At the core of our business is to maintain a solid investment activity through the cycles and deliver strong sustainable returns to our investors. During the first half of the year, the fair value development has been positive in all investment areas, and we have completed 5 new investments and several add-on acquisitions to further accelerate growth. In addition, several exit processes are ongoing, and already during the third quarter we have signed the sale of one of the portfolio companies from the Buyout XI fund and one from the Growth II fund.

In June, as one of the first companies globally, CapMan Real Estate received validation of its net zero climate targets from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in accordance with the Buildings Criteria.

Since the beginning of the year, we have raised some EUR 500 million of new capital, primarily to our Real Estate products, which is a testament to the strong performance of our products in an overall challenging market. Fundraising for flagship funds Nordic Real Estate IV and European Forest Fund IV continue with good investor interest, and as earlier communicated the target is to hold the first close for both funds in the latter part of the year.

Key figures

Long-term financial objectives

CapMan’s distribution policy is to pay sustainable distributions that grow over time. CapMan’s objective is to distribute at least 70% of the Group’s profit attributable to equity holders of the company excluding the impact of fair value changes, subject to the distributable funds of the parent company. In addition, CapMan may pay out distributions accrued from investment operations, taking into consideration foreseen cash requirements for future investments.

The revenue growth target excluding carried interest income is more than 15% p.a. on average. The target for return on equity is more than 20% and for equity ratio more than 50%.

CapMan expects to achieve these financial targets gradually and key figures are expected to show fluctuations on an annual basis considering the nature of the business.

Outlook estimate for 2025

CapMan’s objective is to improve results in the long term, taking into consideration annual fluctuations related to the nature of the business. Carried interest income from funds managed by CapMan and the return on CapMan’s investments have a substantial impact on CapMan’s overall result. In addition to asset-specific development and exits from assets, various factors outside of the portfolio’s and CapMan’s control influence fair value development of CapMan’s overall investments, as well as the magnitude and timing of carried interest. For these reasons, CapMan does not provide numeric estimates for 2025.

CapMan estimates assets under management to grow in 2025. The company estimates fee profit also to grow in 2025. These estimations do not include possible items affecting comparability.
