- Heliad publishes final figures for HY1 2018

- Strong result according to local GAAP (HGB)

- Positive outlook for HY2

Frankfurt am Main, September 28^th, 2018 - Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A0L1NN5) has published today its figures for the first half of the 2018 fiscal year.

According to local GAAP (HGB) and mainly due to the sale of shares in FinTech Group AG, Heliad reports a result as of June 30^th, 2018 of EUR 9,2 Mio., again strong above prior year (EUR 4,9 Mio.).

Using IFRS accounting principles, the net result is EUR -15,8 Mio. (PY: EUR 10,8 Mio.), mainly due to lower stock prices of almost all listed portfolio companies, compared to December 31th, 2017. The balance sheet equity decreased accordingly. The net asset value per share as of June 30^th, 2018 is EUR 10.38 (December 31^st, 2017: EUR 12.22) and the equity ratio is 99.2% (December 31^st, 2017: 97.6%).

For the second half of 2018, Heliad's management expects an upward trend in the stock market prices of the listed portfolio companies, so that the outlook for the full year is positive.
