Princess Private Equity Holding’s (PEY’s) 12-month NAV total return (TR) to end-February 2024 was a modest 0.6% amid low exit activity across private equity (PE) markets. That said, if the pick-up in global M&A volumes witnessed earlier in 2024 continues, it should support PEY’s exit activity. This in turn would translate into improved returns if PEY delivers sizeable uplifts to previous carrying values upon exits, as it has done historically. In this context, we note that PEY has a good pipelin...

Its portfolio maintains strong last 12-month (LTM) revenue and EBITDA momentum of 17% and 15%, respectively, at end-June 2023 and some of its holdings also benefited from peer multiple expansion (eg KinderCare).

During its Q422 results release, Princess Private Equity (PEY) announced the discontinuation of its foreign exchange (FX) hedging strategy from 1 April 2023 and an upsizing of its credit facility from €110m to €140m in response to the holding-level liquidity constraints it faced in late 2022. We believe investors should welcome these measures, as they facilitate PEY’s balance sheet management while allowing it to stay close to fully invested (investment level at 101.3% at end-January 2023) and t...

Princess Private Equity Holding’s (PEY’s) portfolio has fared quite well in 2022, with the +3.7% NAV total return (TR) in Q322 bringing the 9M22 TR decline to a moderate 4.0%. This was likely assisted by PEY’s sector mix and the temporary allocation of excess funds into senior loans in H221 (gradually redeemed throughout 2022). However, this was overshadowed by PEY’s decision to suspend its second interim dividend amid holding-level liquidity concerns due to high cash outflows for foreign exchan...

Princess Private Equity Holding (PEY) posted only a slight decline in NAV in total return (TR) terms so far this year, which may be an indication of its portfolio’s resiliency. This allowed PEY to outperform public markets over the medium term with a NAV TR of 73.2% over the past five years versus the MSCI World TR at 66.9% (although PEY’s returns were behind private equity, PE, peers). Still, its shares experienced a stronger de-rating, leading to PEY’s discount to NAV widening to 17% from c 5%...

Princess Private Equity Holding - Seeking to deploy excess liquidity
Princess Private Equity Holding’s (PEY) NAV total return (TR) reached 19.4% in FY21 in euro terms, supported by exits (most notably from GlobalLogic) and unrealised revaluation gains across most of its top 10 portfolio holdings. Amid strong realisation activity (which outpaced its new private equity investments in FY21), PEY temporarily invested part of its dry powder in senior loans in H221 to mitigate cash drag. Having said that, PEY’s manager is confident in its investment pipeline, which cur...

Princess Private Equity (PEY) reported a c 21% NAV TR from January to end-October 2021 driven by exits (most notably GlobalLogic in Q121) and revaluations of existing portfolio holdings. PEY’s realisations outpaced new private equity investments in the period, which has led to an increase in net current assets. That said, PEY has temporarily allocated part of them in senior loans to mitigate the risk of cash drag and announced several new direct private equity investments that are still in the c...

Princess Private Equity (PEY) reported a strong c 10% NAV TR from January to end-April 2021 (10% in FY20), largely driven by its in-closing exit from GlobalLogic announced in March 2021, generating a 45% uplift from its end-February 2021 carrying value. This represents a very solid 5.3x multiple on invested capital, despite the short holding period since 2018. PEY’s attractive dividend yield of c 5% is ahead of most of its peers and the manager is confident in its ability to maintain the current...

Following high investment activity in 2018, which allowed Princess Private Equity (PEY) to become fully invested, its balance of new investments vs realisations has been broadly neutral so far in 2019. PEY received c €68m in distributions, mainly from the winding down of legacy funds and gradual disposal of Ceridian HCM shares. The proceeds were used to finance a healthy dividend (current yield of 5.7%) and €52m in new deals, mainly in fairly defensive sectors such as healthcare and educatio...
