APEO's valuation policy for private equity funds and co-investments is based on the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds and co-investments in which the Company has interests. In the case of APEO's valuation at 31 January 2024, excluding new investments, 99.6% by value of the portfolio valuations were dated 30 September 2023. The value of the portfolio is therefore calculated as the 30 September 2023 valuation, adjusted for subsequent cashflows over the period to 31 January 2024.
This is an update from the estimated NAV at 31 December 2023, whereby 95.9% of the portfolio valuations, excluding new investments, were dated 30 September 2023, adjusted for subsequent cashflows over the period to 31 December 2023.
예상 NAV
At 31 January 2024, APEO's estimated NAV was 748.6 pence per share (estimated net assets £1,151.0 million), representing a 1.9% per share decrease from the estimated NAV at 31 December 2023 of 763.2 pence per share (estimated net assets £1,173.4 million). The 14.6 pence decrease in NAV per share reflected losses arising primarily from a 1.6% depreciation in the euro versus sterling during January in addition to the fourth interim dividend payment of 4.0 pence per share on 26 January 2024. The cash cost of the fourth interim dividend was £6.1 million.

APEO paid £8.8 million of drawdowns and received £3.1 million of distributions during the month of January.

Notable drawdowns in the portfolio during the month included Altor V (to fund a follow-on investment in FLSmidth, a technology and service provider to the global mining and cement industries) and Vitruvian IV (to predominantly fund Twinkl, an online learning content platform).
The distributions received generated realised gains and income of £1.5 million and largely related to realisations in APEO's underlying portfolio of companies. The main realisation during the month related to the sale of Planasa (a global leader in the agri-tech sector) by Sixth Cinven Fund. In addition, Advent International GPE VIII sold portions of its shareholdings in three of its listed portfolio companies, following IPOs in 2021.

On 25 January 2024, APEO announced the commencement of a share buyback programme. As outlined in the announcement, the Board intends to use a portion of proceeds realised from the most recent sale of APEO's direct co-investment in Action. The Board believes that the ability to recycle a significant portion of these proceeds, which were realised at 100% of Action's 30 June 2023 valuation, into buying APEO shares at a significant discount to NAV is a compelling use of APEO's capital and provides immediate NAV accretion to APEO's shareholders.
