Bridgepoint Credit successfully prices its first European CLO of 2024

Bridgepoint

Bridgepoint has today announced that it has priced Bridgepoint CLO VI (“CLO VI”), a new issue Collateralised Loan Obligation (CLO) vehicle totalling €400 million, as it continues to grow its €12 billion credit platform. The vehicle comes with a four-and-a-half-year reinvestment period.

CLO VI is Bridgepoint Credit’s first CLO offering in 2024 and represents the sixth issuance from its CLO platform, following the €400 million CLO V priced in August 2023. The completion of this transaction will bring Bridgepoint’s cumulative CLO issuance to €2.2 billion.

Today’s news builds on Bridgepoint Credit’s continued fundraising progress to date, with the successful close of two CLOs, as well as BDL III and BCO IV, in 2023. Fundraising for BDL IV has recently been launched and BCO V is expected to launch this summer.

John Murphy, Partner and Bridgepoint’s Head of Syndicated Debt said: “The successful pricing of our first European CLO in 2024 is a testament to our proven strategy, robust demand from both existing and new investors, and strong track record of being able to price transactions through the credit cycle. This milestone further underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality investment opportunities and reinforces Bridgepoint Credit’s position as one of Europe’s leading credit managers.”

With more than €12 billion of assets under management in corporate credit across the risk/reward spectrum, Bridgepoint Credit is one of Europe’s most experienced credit managers. It focuses on three complementary investment strategies: Direct Lending, Credit Opportunities and Syndicated Debt.

Bridgepoint CLO VI, as with all other CLOs within Bridgepoint’s CLO management platform, contain specific ESG eligibility criteria in the documentation, which include detailed restrictions on the industries in which the CLO will invest, building upon Bridgepoint’s strong reputation as a responsible investor.

No Comments
Mutares
  • Net income of Mutares Holding for fiscal year 2023 increases by 41% to EUR 102.5 million (previous year: EUR 72.9 million); Revenues of Mutares Holding grow by 46% to EUR 103.6 million (previous year: EUR 71.1 million)
  • Dividend planned to increase by 29% to EUR 2.25 per share for fiscal year 2023 (previous year: EUR 1.75)
  • Group revenues increase by 25% to EUR 4,689.1 million (previous year: EUR 3,751.7 million), Group EBITDA at EUR 756.9 million (previous year: EUR 181.5 million), boosted by effects from the transactions
  • Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 3.5 million (previous year: EUR -32.7 million) reflects the progress made in restructuring and developing the portfolio
  • Early refinancing and placement of a new senior secured floating rate bond with a current total volume of EUR 250 million

Munich, March 28, 2024 – Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A2NB650) today published figures for the fiscal year 2023. Mutares recorded significant growth both at Company level (“Mutares Holding”) and at Group level (“Mutares Group”). In addition to continued promising momentum on the acquisition side with 16 completed acquisitions of portfolio companies, Mutares also completed 7 exits in the fiscal year 2023, including the sale of Special Melted Products (“SMP”), the largest exit in the Company’s history to date.

Net income of Mutares Holding grows by 41% to new record level

The net income of Mutares Holding for the fiscal year 2023 increased to EUR 102.5 million, compared with EUR 72.9 million in the previous year. The successful sale of Special Melted Products (“SMP”) made a significant contribution to this result.

The revenues of Mutares Holding result from consulting services to affiliated companies and management fees and increased by 46% to EUR 103.6 million in the fiscal year 2023 (previous year: EUR 71.1 million). The increase is a result of the expansion of the operational consulting business.

The Mutares Group generated revenues of EUR 4,689.1 million in the fiscal year 2023 (previous year: EUR 3,751.7 million). Group EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in accordance with IFRS amounted to EUR 756.9 million in the fiscal year 2023 (previous year: EUR 181.5 million), boosted by gains from bargain purchases of EUR 727.2 million (previous year: EUR 262.0 million) and the positive contribution from exits in the fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted in particular for the effects of regular changes in the composition of the portfolio, amounted to EUR 3.5 million for the fiscal year 2023 (previous year: EUR -32.7 million) and reflects the encouraging progress made in restructuring and developing parts of the portfolio.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 520.2 million as at December 31, 2023, and thus increased significantly compared to the previous year’s reporting date (December 31, 2022: EUR 246.4 million). As at the reporting date, the equity ratio was 26% compared to 24% as at December 31, 2022.

High transaction momentum with largest exit in the Company’s history

The fiscal year 2023 was once again characterized by a high level of transaction momentum. On the acquisition side, Mutares completed a total of 16 acquisitions in the four segments Automotive & Mobility, Engineering & Technology, Goods & Services and the newly created Retail & Food segment.

Thanks to the balanced maturity and size of the portfolio, the focus is also increasingly on activities on the exit side. In the fiscal year 2023, Mutares completed a total of 7 sales of portfolio companies. Among these, the sale of SMP was the most successful exit in the Company’s history to date with a cash inflow for the Mutares Holding Company of around EUR 150 million.

Dividend proposal of EUR 2.25 per share

Mutares pursues a dividend policy with which the shareholders are to participate directly and continuously in the Company’s success and at the same time the short and medium-term development of Mutares can be driven forward. In the fiscal year 2023, Mutares resolved an annual minimum dividend of EUR 2.00 per dividend-bearing share as part of an update of the dividend policy. In extraordinarily successful fiscal years, the Company will also consider in the future, when proposing the appropriations of profits, the extent to which the remaining retained net profit will also be distributed in the form of a possible bonus dividend. For the fiscal year 2023, the Management Board and Supervisory Board will propose the distribution of a dividend totaling EUR 2.25 per share at the Annual General Meeting on June 4, 2024. This dividend amount consists of a minimum dividend of EUR 2.00 per share in line with the communicated long-term dividend policy and an additional proposed bonus dividend for the fiscal year 2023 of EUR 0.25 per share.

Outlook

Against the background of the transactions concluded and signed in the fiscal year 2023, the assumptions regarding further intended transactions in the course of the year and the plans for the individual portfolio companies, the Management Board expects revenues for the Mutares Group to increase to between EUR 5.7 billion and EUR 6.3 billion in the fiscal year 2024.

The annual net income of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA should regularly be in a range of 1.8% to 2.2% of the consolidated revenues of the Mutares Group. Based on expected revenues for the Mutares Group of EUR 6.0 billion on average, the Management Board therefore expects a net income of EUR 108 million to EUR 132 million in the fiscal year 2024. All sources from which the net income of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA is generally fed, namely revenues from the consulting business on the one hand and dividends from portfolio companies and, in particular, exit proceeds from the sale of investments on the other, are expected to contribute to this.

Mutares will publish its Annual Report 2023 on April 11, 2024, and invites analysts, investors and members of the press to a conference call at 2:00 p.m. CEST on this day to provide a deeper insight into the developments of the fiscal year 2023 and the outlook for the fiscal year 2024.

CapMan Growth establishes its third fund: first closing at €110 million, surpassing target size

CapMan Growth establishes its third fund: first closing at 110 million, surpassing target size

The CapMan Growth Equity III fund initiates operations and makes its first closing at €110 million, surpassing its target size. The strong interest towards the fund is a testament to the successful growth stories and well-executed exits facilitated by the team. The fund is expected to reach its hard cap at 130 million by the end of April 2024.

At first closing CapMan Growth’s third fund already exceeds the size of the team’s previous fund which closed at €97 million. Since its establishment in 2017 CapMan Growth has raised over €300 million in total for growth investments.

Raising a fund larger than its predecessor in the current market environment clearly shows there is significant interest towards CapMan Growth’s investment strategy. Driving this interest is the team’s strong track-record in supporting multiple growth companies and achieving successful exits of which Picosun and Coronaria are good examples.

CapMan Growth’s strategy is to make active minority investments into entrepreneur-led growth companies, with the aim of further developing them together with the entrepreneurs and the operative management.

CapMan Growth’s investor base consists mainly of reputable Finnish institutional investors and successful Finnish entrepreneurs including several founders of CapMan Growth’s portfolio companies.

”Our investment strategy has gained a lot of interest amongst both owners of growth companies and investors. Many growth entrepreneurs seek an alternative to selling their business and we can support growth while letting entrepreneurs retain control in their company. Investors have also viewed our strategy as an interesting alternative to more traditional private equity funds. A warm thank you for the trust to all our current and new investors”, says Antti Kummu, Managing Partner at CapMan Growth.

CapMan Growth is the leading Finnish growth investor making significant minority investments in entrepreneur-led growth companies with revenues ranging between €10–200 million euros. We offer entrepreneurs an alternative to selling the majority of their business by facilitating a partial exit while also supporting growth and internationalisation. We have been part of building companies such as Coronaria, Cloud2, Digital Workforce, Fennoa, Fluido, Neural DSP, Picosun, Sofigate, Silmäasema and Unikie.
