===== SIDA 1 ===== ===== SIDA 2 ===== ~ CEO comment- the first quarter 2024 A promising start to 2024 - and to EQT's fourth decade EQT started the year with the successful completion of two fund raises, EQT X and EQT Future, with total commitments of more than EUR 25 billion . Investment activity continued at a good pace and, with transactions such as the IPO of Galderma, we expect a gradual increase in exit activity. Whilst the macroeconomic environment, financing conditions, and capital markets activity have improved, we continue to monitor geopolitical risks and macro developments, including interest rates, and maintain our focus on performance. In March, we held our first Capital Markets Day, where our team presented the long-term view of EQT's strategy, ambitions, and medium- to long-term financial targets. We have ambitious objectives : to become the global leader in Private Equity, enter the top three in Infrastructure while maintaining our number one position in Value-Add Infrastructure ; and enter the top three in Private Real Estate. To achieve this, our focus will remain on delivering consistent, superior returns to our clients by applying an industrialist mindset to develop assets that play a positive role in tomorrow's economy. Navigating the fundraising environment Fundraisings across strategies, including for the Private Wealth products, are generally taking longer, and we expect the fundraising environment to improve only once realizations across private markets pick up materially . Despite continued fundraising headwinds, our Key fund within Private Capital, EQT X, hit its hard cap in what was EQT's largest ever fundraise . This was shortly followed by the final close of EQT Future, a thematic strategy that backs businesses within Climate a Nature and Health a Wellbeing . EQT Infrastructure VI is expected to reach its target size, and fundraising is expected to continue at least throughout 2024 . We are also preparing for a transition infrastructure strategy and BPEA IX. Improving environment, yet muted exit volumes We are encouraged by our investment pipeline across asset classes, thematic sectors, and geographies. The EQT funds announced several new investments, demonstrating our strong conviction in themes such as digital infrastructure, education, and vertical software. Exit activity has yet to accelerate, but we expect volumes to increase gradually during the latter part of the year, and in 2025. A large share of the EQT funds' portfolio is still relatively young, with only 10% of investments by capital having been made more than five years ago, allowing us time to focus on fundamental value creation before a large part of the portfolio is ready for exit. A highlight was EQT Vlll's portfolio company Galderma that successfully priced its IPO - expected to be one of the largest in Europe this year. EQT VIII retained nearly all the shares it held before the IPO, with Galderma using the transaction to raise capital. Not only is the IPO a testament to EQT's ability to bring high-quality businesses to the public market, but also an example of EQT's value creation playbook in action . During the fund 's ownership, Galderma has transformed from a non-core subsidiary of Nestle into a pure-play category leader in dermatology . All of our ten Key funds are performing On or Above plan, which means we are on track to deliver on or exceed the EQT AB (pub!) Q1 Announcement 2024 2 ===== SIDA 3 ===== CEO comment- the first quarter 2024 return targets communicated to our clients . In the first quarter, Key fund valuations increased by almost 3%, as underlying performance remained healthy, albeit with certain pockets of underperformance, and valuation references were supportive . Across strategies focused on earlier-stage investments, such as EQT Ventures and EQT Growth, we saw a meaningful value uplift in certain portfolio companies . EQT Exeter 's investment activity began to pick up towards the end of 2023 and, while challenges remain in real estate, we have continued to make selective investments during the quarter. Making headway on newer strategies Building on EQT's healthcare track record, we introduced EQT Healthcare Growth . Combining EQT Life Sciences' scientific expertise and ability to identify emerging trends, with EQT Private Equity's value creation approach and experience in high-growth, mid-market buyouts, we believe this strategy is well placed to support healthcare companies on their mission to scale rapidly and deliver positive healthcare outcomes . Fundraising continued for EQT Nexus, and EQRT, EQT's semi-liquid strategy focusing on direct investments in commercial real estate, has made its first acquisition. Over the coming year, we expect to launch further strategies tailored to Private Wealth, drawing on our strengths in Private Equity and Infrastructure, and across our global platform. Closing a busy first quarter with a positive long-term outlook EQT began 2024 by announcing that, a year after EQT's combination with BPEA, the private equity business line in Asia had rebranded, completing its transition into the firm's global identity . I am pleased to move forward as an integrated, global and diversified platform with a clear ambition . As we enter our fourth decade, I am encouraged by our trajectory and the market opportunity to serve existing and new clients . To achieve this, we remain focused on constant innovation, seeking new and better ways to pursue our fundamental value creation across all strategies and delivering outperformance .
