Net Asset
Value
Pantheon Infrastructure PLC ("PINT"
or the "Company"), the listed global infrastructure fund, announces
that its Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 31 March 2024 was 109.0
pence per share.
Commentary
•
NAV increased by 2.4 pence per share in the
quarter, an increase of 2.3% on the NAV of 106.6 pence per share as
at 31 December 2023.
•
NAV total return during the quarter, including the
2 pence per share dividend for which the shares became ex-dividend
during the period, was 4.4 pence per share, or 4.1%.
•
Underlying fair value movements on the investment
portfolio contributed 4.4 pence per share during the period.
Performance was driven by unrealized movements across a number of
the Company's investments, with notable valuation uplifts for GD
Towers, Vantage Data Centers, Calpine and CyrusOne.
•
Currency movements resulted in a negative FX
valuation movement on the investment portfolio, equivalent to a
decrease in NAV of 0.2 pence per share. This was offset by opposing
movements in the Company's NAV FX hedging instruments, contributing
an increase in the NAV of 0.5 pence per share.
•
Other contributions to the movement in NAV
included operating costs (-0.4 pence per share) and the NAV
accretion from the Company's buyback of shares at a discount to NAV
during the period (0.1 pence per share).
•
As at 31 March 2024, the Company's net assets were
£512.0 million, comprising the investment portfolio valued at
£492.6 million, net working capital of £13.4 million and a
derivative mark-to-market value of £6.0 million. At the end of the
quarter, the Company had undrawn commitments of £11.6 million and
its £115 million Revolving Credit Facility was fully
undrawn.
Richard Sem, Partner at Pantheon, PINT's investment manager,
commented: "The strength and quality
of PINT's diversified, all-weather global infrastructure portfolio
continues to flow through to the NAV and underpins our continued
confidence in the investment strategy looking forward.
Infrastructure remains a key driver of economic growth around the
world, and we expect to see ongoing demand for investment into new
and existing projects. PINT is well placed to identify and capture
the very best of these opportunities."
