ALAIN RAUSCHER, Chairman and CEO, declared:

“Antin posted a solid performance in the third quarter, with continued growth in AUM and exit activity resuming with the sale of Grandi Stazioni Retail at good returns. Following closing of the transaction, Fund II will be fully realised with a Gross Multiple of 2.6x, which is a great outcome for our fund investors and testament to our commitment to performance.

I am also pleased about the progress made in fundraising with commitments for Fund V reaching €9.8bn. We are working on the conversion of our remaining prospects and expect the fund’s final closing before year-end. I am confident in our ability to achieve or pass the fund’s target size of €10bn and meet our outlook for the year.”

FUNDRAISING

• Fundraising amounted to €0.4bn in 3Q 2024 and totalled €1.3bn over the last twelve months
• Flagship Fund V reached €9.8bn in commitments in 3Q 2024, close to the fund’s target size of €10bn. The upsizing of the fund above Flagship Fund IV stood at ~50% at the end of 3Q 2024 and is expected to reach 54% at target size, making it one of the largest fund size increases among large cap infrastructure funds globally. The fund is expected to hold its final closing before year-end

INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

• Investments totalled €2.6bn over the last twelve months, with four investments announced across Flagship (Consilium Safety, Portakabin and Proxima) and NextGen (GTL Leasing)

EXIT ACTIVITY

• Exit activity resumed with the announcement on 6 August 2024 of the sale of Grandi Stazioni Retail (GSR) from Flagship Fund II to a consortium of infrastructure investors led by OMERS and DWS. GSR is the operator of the long-term leasehold providing exclusive rights to the commercial leasing and advertising spaces of 14 Italian railway stations. The transaction is expected to close in 4Q 2024
• Flagship Fund III and Fund III-B were 37% and 26% realised respectively as of 30 September 2024. Flagship Fund II was 91% realised at the end of 3Q 2024 and will be fully realised following the closing of the GSR exit

FUND PERFORMANCE

These funds are building their portfolio. Flagship Funds III and IV and Fund III-B are fully invested and continue to advance the implementation of value creation plans.

• EBITDA. Underlying EBITDA in 2024 expected to be at or above prior year level of ~€175m
• Distribution to shareholders. Majority of cash earnings to be distributed with the absolute quantum of annual dividends expected to grow over time. Distributions paid in two instalments per year, one in autumn and the second after the Annual Shareholders' Meeting
