Quest for growth Privak, fixed capital investment company established under Belgian Law Schedule for publication on 23 January PM press release available at on 24 January AM press & analyst meeting, Capricorn Venture Partners NV, Lei 19, 3000 Leuven Annual results Quest for Growth QUEST FOR GROWTH MADE A PROFIT OF 18.5 MILLION IN. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PROPOSES A NET DIVIDEND OF 1.15 PER ORDINARY SHARE Key facts: Return on equity per share: + 17 % since Net Asset Value per share at December 31st : (December 31st : 9.26) Net profit for the fiscal year: + 18,474,284 ( per share) against a profit of + 15,701,811 ( per share) for the previous fiscal year Share price at December 31st : 8.21 (December 31st : 5.70) or a increase of 44 % Discount of the share price versus Net Asset Value: 24.4 % at December 31st (38.4 % at December 31st ) The board proposes to the AGM a gross dividend of 1.18 per ordinary share (net dividend of 1.15 per ordinary share) Results was once again an excellent year for Quest for Growth with an increase of the net asset value by 17% to per share. The net profit made in amounts to 18.5 million ( 1.60 per share), to compare with a profit of 15.7 million ( 1.36 per share) in. In the fourth quarter the net asset value increased by 8.2% which corresponds with a net profit of 9.5 million. The share price of Quest for Growth increased in by 44% to 8.21 per share. The discount of the share price versus the net asset value was 24% at the end of the year, compared to 38% on. Distribution of earnings The Board of Directors proposes to the General Assembly of Shareholders to distribute the profit amounting to 15,440,141. This represents a gross dividend for ordinary shares of 1.18 per share (net: 1.15 per share). The balance of 88,518 will be carried forward to the next fiscal year. Subject to the General Assembly s approval the dividend will be paid on 27 March Market environment Despite many political and economic tensions most stock markets performed very strongly, without major corrections. The European stock market index DJ Stoxx 600 increased by 17%. American stocks performed even better with an increase of about 24% for the S&P500 index (converted to euro). Equities in emerging markets were notable losers. In spite of the good stock market sentiment the number of IPOs on European stock markets was limited, which illustrates that the environment for exits in venture capital remained difficult. Investments in quoted companies In the quoted portfolio the year was closed with an excellent result in the fourth quarter, bringing the performance of this part of the portfolio for the whole of to nearly 30%. On the one hand the number of stocks incurring negative returns was limited to five, namely Imtech, Umicore, Sphere Medical, Barco and Andritz. On the other hand high profits were registered for stocks such as Melexis (+86%), Nemetschek (+56%), Arcadis (+47%), Schaltbau (+51%) and LPKF (+113% until sale). In the fourth quarter profits were taken on LPKF and Galenica. Ablynx was introduced in the portfolio in December. Looking back at the entire year, Faiveley, Imtech, Teva, Sphere and LPKF were removed from the portfolio while Barco, Sartorius, Bertrandt, U-Blox and Ablynx were added. Investments in unquoted companies The direct investments in unquoted companies showed a slightly negative result in due to some depreciations. One exit was made with the sale of Syntaxin to Ipsen. In December Quest for Growth seized the opportunity to co-invest one million dollar in FRX Polymers, a company producing environment-friendly flame retardants. A small participation was also acquired in Aliaxis, a Belgian unquoted company of which the shares are traded on the public auctions market in Brussels.
2 Venture capital funds The profits realized through venture capital funds which sold participations largely compensated for the losses incurred on direct investments in unquoted companies mentioned above. The biggest profit was made through the sale of Waze to Google by Vertex III. In December the Carlyle Europe Technology Partners II Fund sold its participation in the German HR-software company P&I. Through the Capricorn Health-tech Fund new participations have recently been taken in Trod Medical based in Leuven and istar based in Isnes (Belgium), companies which both develop medical devices. Earlier in the year investments were made in Right Brain Interface and NG Data through the Capricorn ICT Arkiv Fund. Outlook Quest for Growth is pleased to offer its shareholders the prospect of a dividend payment again, after all losses carried forward from have been largely compensated for. A better economic climate, increased valuations of shares and an improved stock market sentiment ultimately give a mixed picture for the stock markets in The result made on the quoted stocks in will be difficult to match in If the market environment remains positive, this could enhance the chances to realize exits in unquoted companies. The General Assembly will take place on 20 March 2014 in Leuven.
