Rob Lucas, CEO: "We're pleased to report positive half-year results - our first as a public company. We have seen an increase in deployment and realisation activity, and continued resilient performance across our portfolio. In addition, we are delighted to have completed our acquisition of CVC DIF and the acquisition of the final stake in CVC Secondary Partners in July 2024, together delivering good progress against our strategic objectives."
Fred Watt, CFO: "We are delivering on plan across all key metrics. The activation of Europe / Americas Fund IX and Asia VI has driven higher management fee earnings, and strong growth in adjusted pro forma EBITDA. We remain confident in delivering our IPO guidance, and with our near-term fundraising substantially complete, we have good visibility on our near-term MFE trajectory."
