Month to 30 June 2024
PIP announced an unaudited net asset
value ("NAV") per share of 491.4p as at 30 June 2024, an increase
of 0.9p (+0.2%) from the NAV per share as at 31 May
2024.
In the month to 30 June 2024,
valuation losses** were -1.4p (-0.3%), investment income** added
+0.8p (+0.2%), foreign exchange movements** were +2.1p (+0.4%),
share buybacks added +0.4p (+0.1%) and expenses and taxes**** were
-1.0p (-0.2%).
PIP's valuation policy for private
equity funds is based on the latest valuations reported by the
managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of
PIP's valuation as at 30 June 2024, 10% of reported valuations are
dated 30 June 2024 or later, 88% are dated 31 March 2024, 2% are
dated 31 December 2023. Of the 10% of valuations dated 30 June 2024
or later, 5.8% reflect the mark-to-market fair value adjustment for
PIP's listed company holdings.
At 30 June 2024, PIP's private
equity assets stood at £2,512m, whilst net available cash balances^
were £16m. The Asset Linked Note^^ ("ALN") outstanding as at 30
June 2024 amounted to £30m. Undrawn commitments to investments
stood at £803m as at 30 June 2024, calculated using exchange rates
at that date. PIP maintains a five-year £500m^^^ multi-tranche,
multi-currency revolving credit facility. As at 30 June 2024, £96m
was drawn down under the credit facility and $150m (£119m GBP
equivalent as at month end) of private placement notes outstanding,
resulting in a net debt to NAV ratio of 8.7%.^^^^
Net Portfolio Cash Flow
PIP received distributions of £13.2m
relative to £8.3m of calls from existing commitments to private
equity funds, resulting in net cash of £4.9m during the
month.
New Commitments
PIP made £25.0m of new commitments
during the month. These were:
·
An £11.1m co-investment alongside Lovell Minnick
in London & Capital, a UK-based wealth and asset management
firm.
·
A £13.9m primary commitment to HIG Capital
Partners VII, a North American buyout fund which will mainly target
undervalued and undermanaged companies.
Share Buybacks
PIP invested £3.5m in share buybacks
during the month, acquiring 1,092,303 shares at a weighted average
price of 322.6p per share. This price represented an average
discount of 34.1% to the prevailing NAV per share at the time of
the transactions.
* Based on the change in the NAV per
share and ordinary share price over the period.
** Figures are stated net of
movements associated with the ALN share of the reference portfolio.
Valuation movement includes the mark-to-market fair value
adjustment of listed company holdings.
***Ratio of
net available cash, portfolio value and undrawn credit facility to
outstanding commitments. Outstanding commitments relating to funds
outside their investment period (>13 years old) were excluded
from the calculation as there is a low likelihood of these being
drawn. This amounted to £42.1m as at 30 June 2024.
**** Operating expenses, financing
costs and withholding taxes on investment distributions.
^Net available cash calculated as
cash and net current assets / (liabilities) less undistributed net
cashflows associated with the ALN.
^^Unlisted 10-year note issued on 31
October 2017 whose cost and repayments are linked to a reference
portfolio consisting of the Company's older vintage
funds.
^^^PIP maintains a £500m
multi-currency credit facility. The overall credit facility
comprises facilities of US$487.7m and €115.7m and had a sterling
equivalent value of £483.8m as at 30 June 2024. As at 30 June
2024, PIP had drawn down £96m of the credit facility.
^^^^Net debt calculated as
borrowings (excluding the outstanding balance of the Asset Linked
Note) less net available cash. The ALN is not considered in the
calculation of gross borrowings or the loan-to-value ratio, as
defined in PIP's credit facility and note agreements. If the ALN is
included, net debt to NAV was 10.0% as at 30 June 2024.
