Deutsche Beteiligungs - Positive underlying NAV progress continues

Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAG) reported an eighth consecutive quarter of positive underlying NAV progress in Q318, taking its dividend-adjusted NAV return for the first nine months of FY18 to 6.8%. This contrasts with the significant de-rating of DBAG’s shares during the period, which saw its share price premium to NAV decline from over 70% to below 20%. A change in accounting policy to bring forward the recognition of carried interest provision had a small negative impact on NAV and also on management’s earnings guidance for FY18, but arguably this has increased future upside. DBAG had a busy third quarter, agreeing three new investments alongside DBAG Fund VII and DBAG ECF I and II for a total €39.2m, with expressions of interest from potential buyers received for two portfolio companies.
