Niko Haavisto, CEO and CFO:
"The return to profitability of our Management Company business was due to cost
savings and the successful establishment of our new funds, as well as the
ability of our investment teams to drive exits even in an uncertain market.
Carried interest income impacts the profitability of our operations
significantly and was the main reason that our profit for the review period more
than doubled from last year.
We strengthened our balance sheet and the financial position of the Group by
selling a portion of our Maneq investments. The transaction is part of our
preparation to repay the hybrid loan, which is possible in December at the
earliest.
The developments in the first six months of 2013 provide a foundation for the
balance of management fees and expenses also during the second half of the
year."
CapMan maintains outlook for 2013:
The development of management fees during 2013 depends on the timing of exits
made from current funds and the size and timing of new funds under
establishment. We are adjusting our operating costs to match the level of
management fees and anticipate that our management fees will cover our expenses
as of the second half of 2013.
Our current portfolio holds several investments, which we are ready to exit
during 2013. The timing of such exits will impact the results of our Management
Company business for 2013 through carried interest income from funds, in the
event that the fund is in carry or about to enter carry as a result of the exit.
The result of our Fund Investment business will mainly depend on the value
development of investments in those funds, in which CapMan is a substantial
investor. We continue our value creation effort in our portfolio companies and
believe that the fair values of our fund investments will develop positively
during the current year.
We estimate our operating profit to increase from the level obtained in 2012.
