CEO’s comment:

2025 was a year of strong financial development for CapMan. Assets under management grew 19% to a new record level of EUR 7.2 billion. Consequently, fee income and fee profit also reached record levels, with fee income growing 11% to EUR 58.9 million and fee profit reaching EUR 7.4 million.

During 2025 we raised a total of EUR 900 million of new capital across investment areas. This is an excellent achievement in a year marked by economic and geopolitical uncertainty, and a testament to our strong track record, dedicated teams and longstanding investor relationships. In addition, we during the year expanded into Real Asset Debt with the acquisition of CAERUS Debt Investments AG, that by year end contributed some EUR 600 million to assets under management.

Transaction activity returned to healthy levels

Value creation across CapMan’s funds was strong in 2025 and transaction activity returned to healthy levels. As a result of active asset management, fair values developed positively across all investment areas, and the fair value of CapMan’s balance sheet investments into own funds increased 10.2%. We completed 15 exits during the year, returning significant capital to our fund investors, and deployed capital through ten platform investments and several add-ons. The Nordic real estate market offered attractive opportunities, with Real Estate making six new fund investments and three successful exits. Natural Capital completed successful exits in Portugal, Latvia and Lithuania and Buyout exited five portfolio companies, including three from the latest Buyout XI fund.

Accelerating strategy execution during 2026

In 2026 we will focus on realising value from our funds and succeeding with the ongoing fundraisings. Natural Capital held the first close in European Forest Fund IV in December and the fundraising continues. Real Estate has a strong pipeline, having already secured the option for the first investment into the Nordic Real Estate IV fund that is being raised. In Real Asset Debt we are raising the eighth CAERUS real estate debt fund and in parallel explore the possibility to expand the offering into infrastructure debt. Additionally, Infra will launch the fundraising for the Nordic Infrastructure III flagship fund during the year. All four above mentioned flagship funds are expected to be larger than their predecessor funds, and once realised, contributing significantly to assets under management and fee income generation for several future years to come.

Strong position to continue positive financial development

Looking back at year 2025, we took significant steps towards achieving our strategic objective of reaching EUR 10 billion of assets under management and strengthened CapMan’s strategic focus on real asset investments. The focus on creating scalable profitable operations is a core theme also for 2026, and we expect our assets under management and fee profit to continue to grow.

A warm thank you to our shareholders and fund investors for your continued trust. I also want to thank CapMan’s leadership and all employees for your commitment and for creating the highly professional can-do culture that makes CapMan unique. I feel honoured to lead this growth chapter of CapMan and look forward to continuing to build value together with and for all our stakeholders.

Pia Kåll

CEO, CapMan Plc

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 2026

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 2026.

CapMan estimates assets under management to grow in 2026. The company estimates fee profit also to grow in 2026. These estimations do not include possible items affecting comparability.
