"Antin delivered continued growth across key metrics in 1H 2024. We see good momentum in our investment activity and we're well positioned to seize opportunities as market conditions continue to improve. We're also pleased that exit activity resumed. With the sale of Grandi Stazioni Retail, our Fund II is now fully exited with top quartile realised returns, which is a great outcome for our fund investors.
The outlook for infrastructure and for Antin remains promising as we benefit from thematic megatrends. Our positioning and our strong investment performance set a solid foundation for Antin to continue delivering strong growth in the years to come."

The differences between the IFRS accounting presentation and the underlying presentation of the Consolidated Income Statement related to the following non-recurring items:
The grant value of the non-recurring Free Share Plan (FSP) implemented at IPO was fully recognised in the P&L as of the end of 2023. However, the deferral of the final vesting of 745,620 shares to May 2025 leads to the revaluation of the associated social charges at the end of each reporting period. Based on the evolution of Antin's share price over 1H 2024, Antin recognised a reversal of €0.3m of social charges, €0.1m of financial expenses and €0.5m of income tax.
In 1H 2024, Antin also recognised an asset write-off of €0.3m for AIP UK related to the insolvency of a building contractor and the impact of €0.8m on income tax regarding the 2023 application of the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII) for AIP U.S.
