The Company aims to build a global portfolio of investments with blended risk/return profiles, and set targets across deal types, sectors and geographies for diversification.
PINT is managed by Pantheon's infrastructure investment team, which has a deep and broad sourcing network with leading private asset investment managers. PINT invests in infrastructure assets via co-investments alongside highly experienced general partners ('Sponsors'), typically on a no fee and no carried interest basis. This is attractive for several reasons, including:
Infrastructure assets combine a range of attractive characteristics for long-term investors. Distinctively, infrastructure may mitigate the adverse effects of rising inflation and may provide an income-generating investment outside of traditional fixed income. Infrastructure assets may also provide embedded value and downside protection across market cycles given the regulated and contracted nature of the underlying cash flows. Infrastructure assets may provide a range of attractive investment attributes including the following:
Pantheon takes a disciplined approach to PINT's portfolio construction strategy to ensure a globally diversified portfolio with exposure across sectors, while maintaining the flexibility to tilt exposures based on opportunities which may present compelling relative value. The Company aims to build a global portfolio of investments with blended risk/return profiles, and set targets across deal types, sectors and geographies for diversification.

We are pleased with the Portfolio assembled to date and have confidence in the future of the Company and Portfolio, and the high‑quality pipeline of opportunities
Chair, Pantheon Infrastructure Plc
£344 million of net IPO proceeds committed1


Interim dividend declared

I am very pleased to present the first interim report for Pantheon Infrastructure Plc. Investing in sustainable infrastructure has never been so important and we are delighted with the depth of interest PINT has received to date. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the investors who supported the Company's initial public offering (IPO) and made our launch a major success.
PINT's IPO raised gross proceeds of £400 million, at an issue price of 100 pence per Ordinary Share. The Company received applications substantially exceeding both the target of £300 million and the £400 million maximum size of the issue. Accordingly, a scaling‑back exercise was undertaken. In addition, Subscription Shares were issued to IPO investors on the basis of one Subscription Share for every five Ordinary Shares subscribed. Following the final exercise date on 31 August 2022, the Company raised additional gross proceeds of £80.8 million through the exercise of the Subscription Shares.
PINT's purpose is to enable investors to gain exposure to a high‑quality mix of yielding and growth infrastructure assets in developed markets, with strong downside and inflation protection, through investments in private infrastructure assets alongside leading Sponsors and institutional investors.
The Company is targeting a NAV Total Return per share of between 8% and 10% p.a. following full investment of the IPO proceeds. We also aim to declare an initial dividend of at least 2 pence per Ordinary Share in the first financial year ending 31 December 2022, rising to 4 pence per Ordinary Share for the financial year ending 31 December 2023 (following full investment of the IPO proceeds), and, thereafter, a progressive dividend. The Company intends to pay dividends on a semi-annual basis, and is pleased to declare its first interim dividend payment of 1 penny per share for the period ended 30 June 2022, payable on 28 October 2022.

As at 30 June 2022, the Company had invested in four assets totalling £105 million. A further £193 million was committed to five assets and £46 million to a further asset currently in legal closing, after the period end. In total, this amounts to £344 million1 which represents 88% of initial net IPO proceeds. This compares favourably with our initial target communicated at IPO date of acquiring eight to twelve assets in the first twelve months, communicated at IPO.
The NAV per share as at 30 June 2022 was 97.9 pence, down 0.14 pence per share for the period since IPO, principally attributable to operating expenses in the period. The Portfolio value is £101 million2, reflecting the four assets invested at 30 June 2022, and given the recent acquisition of these investments, no significant valuation movements were recognised in the period.
The Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by constructing a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets across the global infrastructure investment universe, with a focus on assets that offer downside protection, which is particularly relevant in the current market environment. Leveraging Pantheon's extensive 13-year experience in infrastructure investing and c.\$20 billion infrastructure platform, PINT targets specific transactions that Pantheon deems to be most attractive, notably opportunities in businesses with strong operations and growth potential, in sub‑sectors benefiting from long‑term tailwinds and managed by high-quality Sponsors.
We do, however, remain alert to the challenges in the current environment and there are several key themes that we believe are important to consider:
Inflation: Inflation is currently front and centre of investors' minds. The conflict in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions against Russia have driven steep rises in commodity prices and disrupted supply chains, adding to existing post-Covid-19 inflationary pressures. Infrastructure assets that benefit from contracted cash flows with inflation linkage can provide protection against global, rising inflation.
GDP growth: As global growth slows and expectations for medium‑term economic activity are revised downwards, GDP linkage is another concern for investors. When appraising an investment opportunity, a key factor of Pantheon's due diligence is to assess its cash flow's correlation to GDP and we seek investments that are underpinned by long-term contracts and/or a strong regulatory environment.
Downside protection: Asset resilience is critical, especially against the current backdrop of volatility, rising inflation and slower growth. As an asset class, infrastructure provides essential services, which in itself offers a degree of protection. Assets are tangible by nature, and can therefore offer recovery value in downside cases. Importantly, PINT invests in companies with established cash flows and those which have high growth potential, driven by fundamental, long-term themes, which helps to further mitigate investment risk. PINT's investments are typically made alongside sector-specialist Sponsors with strong, proven track records and specific expertise that can help to harness this potential.
We believe that PINT's Portfolio is well balanced from both a geographic and sector perspective. The composition of the Portfolio to date is weighted towards Digital Infrastructure and Power & Utilities with the Renewables & Energy Efficiency and Transport & Logistics allocation still building up to the target concentration. Invested capital is split between North America and Europe with no significant geography overweight. Further diversification should evolve as new investments in advanced due diligence, utilising the proceeds from the recent Subscription Share conversion, are completed.
This includes deals which we have invested in, committed to, or are in legal closing at 21 September 2022.
Investments at fair value reported in the Balance Sheet are £145 million, which include the consolidated prepayment and cash balances held by PINT's wholly owned subsidiary PIH LP, amounting to £39 million and £5 million, respectively.
We have assembled a highly experienced and independent Board of Directors. All the Board members have worked in the infrastructure space and have a combined experience across the industry in excess of 100 years. All the Directors are non-executive and are independent of Pantheon. The Board of Directors is responsible for managing the business affairs of the Company in accordance with the Articles and has overall responsibility for the Company's activities, including the review of investment activity and performance, and the overall supervision of Pantheon, the Investment Manager. The PINT team at Pantheon is led by is led by Richard Sem, who is a Partner and has over 25 years of experience investing in infrastructure. The Board is confi dent that the Pantheon team has the expertise to enable PINT to achieve its long-term objectives.
The Directors may delegate certain of their functions to other parties such as the Investment Manager, the Administrator and the Registrar. In particular, the Directors have delegated responsibility for managing the Company's investment portfolio to Pantheon as the Investment Manager.
Pantheon has a proven track record of delivering strong returns by applying a disciplined investment process across a globally diversifi ed portfolio and we are confi dent that its approach, which focuses on co-investing, thus minimising fees while maximising the number of investment opportunities it can access, offers a compelling and differentiated opportunity for investors.
The Board regards ESG credentials as an important component of the Company's investment processes, portfolio construction considerations and overall strong governance. Our Investment Manager, Pantheon, considers ESG to be an integral part of investment risk management and value creation. Pantheon has classifi ed the Company as an Article 8 'light green' product following an internal assessment of the application of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations (SFDR). Consistent with this, the Company will not invest in infrastructure assets whose principal operations are in any of the following sectors (each a 'Restricted Sector'): coal, oil, upstream gas, nuclear energy and mining.
PINT's Directors collectively own a total of 288,000 shares in the Company. In addition, twelve Partners of Pantheon collectively hold a further 953,985 shares.

We believe the Portfolio is well positioned to provide investors with some protection against the headwinds of rising inflation and sluggish GDP growth.
The Board believes the investment opportunity in infrastructure today is significant. There is a projected \$13 trillion in capital expenditure required globally to improve ageing infrastructure and build new projects by 20401 . The need to improve the safety, sustainability and connectivity of existing infrastructure systems to support the global transition to Net Zero carbon, and the increasing demand for digital and data services, are adding to this substantial funding gap. Private infrastructure has demonstrated a necessary role in filling that gap, and we believe it will continue to play an important part in funding global infrastructure investments.
Infrastructure transaction volumes have increased steadily over the last five years and, despite current market conditions, 2022 closed transactions remain resilient, totalling \$588 billion year to date2.
Pantheon expects the strong deal flow it has witnessed over the last few years to continue. The current pipeline is strong, with opportunities presenting across all main sub-sectors and geographic regions. Accordingly, the Company has announced its intention to raise additional capital through an offering of C Shares, in order to continue to capitalise on the opportunities presenting in this supportive investment environment for the asset class.
Going forward, we believe the Portfolio is well positioned to provide investors with some protection against the headwinds of rising inflation and sluggish GDP growth. We look forward to executing on more high‑quality opportunities in the infrastructure space as we build out the Company's Portfolio, and continue to be optimistic about growth prospects and the long‑term resilience of both the sector and the Company.
Chair 21 September 2022
Other information

The Company recognises the importance of a responsible approach to investment and of transparent disclosure. As an investment company, PINT has delegated day to day management to its Investment Manager.
Since 2010, Pantheon has integrated responsible investment principles into the fi rm's entire investment process. Pantheon incorporates ESG factors into its investment due diligence, and fi ndings are formally documented in investment recommendations, with potential concerns flagged for consideration to Pantheon's dedicated internal committees. Pantheon's approach to assessing ESG opportunities and risks is multi-faceted and considers both Sponsor-level and asset-level factors. Given that all of Pantheon's infrastructure co-investments have been completed alongside a core roster of Sponsors, the team conducts extensive diligence at the Sponsor level using several ESG key performance indicators (KPIs). Moreover, Pantheon's ESG analysis of potential infrastructure co-investments involves assessment of ESG risk at the Portfolio Company level. Specifi c areas of ESG assessment conducted include:
Adoption of ESG industry standards
Established ESG approach in investment process and ongoing portfolio management
Integration of climate change risk diligence and monitoring
Signifi cant prior ESG events at the fi rm
Reputation checks and referencing
Diversity & Inclusion policies and diversity ratios of investment team
Corporate governance controls
Adoption of anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies
Cyber security and business continuity plans

Pantheon continues to refi ne and evolve its approach as more tools and resources become available, particularly as ESG covers a wider scope of subjects, to maintain its position as a thought leader. Pantheon employs a specialist third-party data provider, RepRisk, on ESG due diligence issues. RepRisk provides access to its company data set, which enables Pantheon to identify actual ESG issues in prospective and current Portfolio Companies. RepRisk provides both qualitative news flow on Portfolio Companies and metrics on ESG risk. As part of the investment monitoring process, Pantheon actively engages with Sponsors and management teams to understand ESG risks within Pantheon's portfolios. Pantheon believes that the RepRisk system assists it in maintaining a market-leading level of coverage of ESG risks and exposure across Pantheon's portfolios, enabling it to achieve the following as part of its overall investment monitoring:

As the Portfolio matures we intend to release more ESG metrics in future reporting.
Other information
Pantheon has classified the Company as an Article 8 'light green' product following an internal assessment of the application of the SFDR. PINT has binding investment restrictions excluding assets with a primary activity in a number of specific sectors, such as coal and oil particularly related to the extraction of hydrocarbons. As Investment Manager, Pantheon also endeavours to collect additional ESG data on PINT's Portfolio, including greenhouse gas emissions from underlying assets. PINT also has a heightened focus on social and governance factors, including monitoring diversity statistics at underlying company and Board level, and on health and safety measures. Additional data on ESG factors will be reported back to investors alongside financial returns, as part of PINT's annual reporting.
Pantheon is driven by the conviction that ESG is an integral part of investment risk management and value creation. Responsible investment principles form a key element of Pantheon's investment philosophy and approach, including the following:
Pantheon was one of the first signatories of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI), signing up in 2007 and joining the UN PRI Steering Committee in 2009. In 2008, Pantheon established an internal ESG working group, and in 2010 successfully integrated the Principles for Responsible Investment into its investment processes and implemented pioneering reporting to clients on ESG. When the UN PRI began assessing and reporting on its signatories in 2015, Pantheon was awarded an A+ and has maintained consistently high scores ever since. Most recently, in 2020, Pantheon was awarded an A+ score in the 'Strategy and Governance' and 'Infrastructure' modules of the UN PRI annual assessment.
Through its investments in certain Portfolio Companies, the Company promotes environmental characteristics but does not have sustainable investment as its objective and does not invest in sustainable investments, as defined under the SFDR. This focus is to support the Company's environmental characteristics which relate to climate change mitigation. The Company seeks to meet these environmental characteristics through its binding commitment to restrict investment activities in certain sectors and to ensure that any assets that breach its restrictions policy are excluded from investment.

The Company has identified certain companies or groups of companies that it will exclude or limit in the Portfolio Companies, known as exclusions, to promote the environmental characteristics that the Company supports. In addition, the Company will not invest in infrastructure assets whose principal operations are in any of the following Restricted Sectors:
The Company may invest in infrastructure assets whose principal operations are not in a Restricted Sector but that nonetheless have some exposure to a Restricted Sector (for example, a diversified freight rail transportation asset that has some exposure to the coal sector), provided that:
These restrictions will be assessed at the time of investment.
Climate change is an increasingly important ESG topic and Pantheon is closely following the development of the Task Force on Climate‑Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Pantheon became a signatory to the TCFD in February 2021 and is making strides to report on, and deliver, enhanced information on climate change risks to its clients.
Early in 2019 Pantheon researched how climate change due diligence tools and reporting could be introduced into its portfolios. Pantheon appointed a preferred third-party provider, ERM, to develop a climate change sector risk analysis to identify physical and transition risks and opportunities across its infrastructure portfolios. Through the partnership with ERM, Pantheon and its clients are gaining a deeper understanding of existing climate change risks, opportunities and ongoing monitoring capabilities.
The Directors of PINT have full oversight of the ESG matters relating to PINT's Portfolio and leverage Pantheon's comprehensive approach to investing responsibility and championing diversity, as described below. Half of the Board comprises women.
Pantheon is committed to championing D&I and developing a diverse global workforce. Pantheon seeks to increase the participation of women and ethnically diverse professionals in private markets through visible engagement on the issues of diversity across its global regions with local trade associations, its clients and Sponsors. As a Women in Finance Charter signatory, Pantheon has formally committed to ensure that the proportion of women who are engaged in the day-to-day management and operation of the firm (Global Heads of Departments and Partnership Board) is at least 33%1 . As of February 2022, Pantheon exceeded this target with 37% of Heads of Department identifying as female. Pantheon proudly supports a number of organisations focused on equitable access to education and opportunity, and on encouraging women to pursue fulfilling careers in private markets. The two most senior people in the Infrastructure and Real Assets team are women.
Pantheon emphasises partnerships that target gender, LGBTQ+ and under-represented groups, including 100 Black Interns, Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, Women in Alternative Assets, PEWIN, Level 20, Mindful Business Charter and Out Investors. These partnerships offer engagement opportunities for all Pantheon employees through a set of organisations that reflect the firm's holistic diversity and values.

PINT aims to provide exposure to a global, diversified portfolio of high‑quality infrastructure assets.

Our objective set at the launch of PINT was to assemble a diversified portfolio of eight to twelve assets with the Net Initial Proceeds, within nine to twelve months.

As at 30 June 2022, the Company had invested in four assets with aggregate commitments of £105 million. A further £193 million was committed to five assets, and c.£46 million to a further asset in legal closing after the period end. In total, this amounts to £344 million which represents 88% of initial net IPO proceeds. This compares favourably with our initial target communicated at IPO of acquiring eight to twelve assets in the first twelve months.
The Company is targeting a NAV Total Return per Share of 8-10% per annum following full investment of the IPO Proceeds.
The Company is targeting a 2 pence per share dividend in the first year, 4 pence per share in the second year, followed by a progressive dividend policy thereafter.
How has PINT performed?
• Interim dividend of 1 penny per share declared for the period to 30 June 2022, to be paid on 28 October 2022. The Company intends to pay dividends on a semi-annual basis in line with its progressive dividend policy.
Strategic report
Founded in 1982, Pantheon has established itself as a leading global multi-strategy investor in private equity, infrastructure and real assets, private debt and real estate.
Since 2009, Pantheon has completed 175 infrastructure investments across primaries, secondaries and co-investments alongside more than 50 asset sourcing partners, solidifying its position as one of the largest managers investing in infrastructure. Total investment and Sponsor relationships count exceeded 50 as of May 2022 including all infrastructure investments closed or in legal closing. The global infrastructure investment team managed \$19.8 billion in AUM as at 31 March 2022. Pantheon is an experienced infrastructure co‑investor and as at 31 August 2022 had committed \$4.3 billion across 51 co-investments globally.


Pantheon has extensive experience of, and expertise in investing in, primaries (which involve a commitment to a newly launched limited life company managed by a Sponsor, seeking to exit improved businesses in the later years of the company term at a profit), secondaries (which traditionally involve the purchase of an interest in an established private company or a portfolio of companies from an
existing investor) and co-investments (which afford the opportunity for investors to invest alongside Sponsors in specific Portfolio Companies, typically on a fee and carried interest-free basis). The Company focuses on gaining exposure to infrastructure assets via co-investments.

of 15.8%4.
PINT aims to construct a diversified global portfolio with a focus on OECD countries, with the majority of exposure in Europe and North America. Over the medium term, the Investment Manager expects the composition of the Portfolio to include Digital Infrastructure, Power & Utilities, Transport & Logistics, Renewables & Energy Efficiency and Social & Other infrastructure.
In the period to 30 June 2022, PINT committed to £105 million across four investments, of which c.£98 million was invested and drawn at 30 June 2022. Post 30 June 2022, an additional £193 million was committed to new assets and c.£46 million to a further asset in legal closing.
Portfolio movement (period to 30 June 2022)
Since the IPO date, the Company has invested and committed, including one asset in legal closing, to ten core infrastructure investments, representing 88% of the net IPO proceeds. This is in line with the target announced at the IPO to have capital committed to eight to twelve assets in the first twelve months following listing.
The Portfolio assembled to date is well diversified across sectors and geographies, and Pantheon believe that the assembled Portfolio will endure through the current and near-term volatile market environment. The Portfolio Companies benefit from defensive characteristics, including contracted cash flows, inflation linkage, conservative leverage profiles and strong ESG credentials.

PINT invested £97.5 million into four assets, denominated in USD. The strengthening of the USD resulted in a portfolio foreign exchange gain of £5.0 million, before the impact of the hedging programme. Distributions of £1.2 million were received, resulting in a closing portfolio value of £101.3 million at 30 June 2022.
Under the Company's valuation policy investments are carried at fair value in accordance with FRS 102 and the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) guidelines. The investments within the Portfolio at 30 June 2022 were recently transacted and the purchase price has been considered to be indicative of the fair value, adjusted for

At the time of reporting, the Company had completed the acquisition of eight investments, for total consideration of £257 million, with an additional amount of c.£41 million committed, with closing subject to regulatory clearances. The Company has one further investment, a European Fibre asset, in legal closing for a total investment consideration of c.£46 million. On completion of this investment, which is expected during Q4 2022, the Company will have made a total of ten investments for a total consideration of £344 million.
The ten investments, commitments and asset in legal closing to date are well diversified across sector and geography. Five of these transactions are in Digital Infrastructure, representing 43% of the £344 million of commitments, providing access to the Data Centres, Towers and Fibre Sub-sectors. Three transactions, representing 35% are in the Power & Utilities sector providing access to gas transmissions, district heating and electricity generation, with the remaining transactions in Renewables & Energy Efficiency (12%) and Transport & Logistics (10%). The largest percentage of the exposure, by commitments, is in North America (46%), with the remaining exposure in Europe (42%), and the UK (12%).

NAV per share over the period was broadly flat as there were no material valuation adjustments, given the recent acquisition of the investments. The strengthening of the USD in the period resulted in a foreign exchange gain of 1.4 pence per share, which was partially offset by a (1.2) pence per share movement from the foreign exchange hedging programme. Investment Income from the Portfolio and interest on cash deposits, contributed 0.1 pence per share, offset by (0.4) pence per share related to fund operating expenses, resulting in a closing NAV of 97.9 pence per share.

NAV/share
The Company is targeting a NAV Total Return of 8-10% p.a. following full investment of the IPO proceeds and an initial dividend of at least 2 pence per share in the first financial year ending 31 December 2022, rising to 4 pence per share for the year ending 31 December 2023 and a progressive dividend thereafter.
As part of this interim results announcement, the Board is declaring the Company's first interim dividend of 1 penny per share in respect of the period from IPO to 30 June 2022, which will be paid on 28 October 2022.
Over the medium term, the Company expects the Portfolio to generate both yield and capital growth to support the progressive dividend policy and expects to maintain a healthy dividend cover from income distributions and surplus capital profits through realisations.
PINT aims to deliver steady NAV growth and as outlined in the IPO Prospectus, the Company may enter into foreign exchange hedging transactions for the purposes of efficient portfolio management.
In order to limit the potential impact on the net asset value from material movements in major foreign exchanges rates, the Company has implemented a structured foreign exchange hedging programme. This aims to reduce (rather than eliminate) the impact of movements in major foreign exchange rates on the GBP net asset value.
The depreciation of GBP resulted in a positive portfolio and non-portfolio foreign exchange movement in the period to 30 June 2022 of £5.7 million, which was partially offset by a loss in the hedging programme of (£5.0) million.

The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality operational infrastructure assets which provide essential physical structures, systems and/or services to allow economies and communities to function effectively. The Company will invest in both yielding and growth infrastructure assets which the Investment Manager believes will offer strong downside protection and typically offer strong inflation protection.
(including wireless towers, data centres and fibre-optic networks)
(including transmission and distribution networks, regulated utility companies and efficient conventional power assets)

(including education, healthcare, government and community buildings)
The Company will focus on gaining exposure to infrastructure assets via co-investments alongside leading third-party private direct infrastructure asset investment managers who are acting as general partner or manager of a fund in which Pantheon, or any investment scheme, pooled investment vehicle or Portfolio Company managed by Pantheon, has invested or may invest. In doing so, the Company may invest on its own or alongside other institutional clients of the Investment Manager.

Strategic report
\$13tn infrastructure spending gap projected to 20401



Strong upward trends in deal activity, fundraising and investor sentiment provide a positive backdrop for future growth.


Pantheon opinion. There is no guarantee that these trends will persist.



As a result of increasing capital deployment within the infrastructure sector, we are seeing pockets of rising valuations.
Search for relative value continues to be a key focus and competitive advantage for the team, and the scope of our deal funnel provides the Investment Manager with a range of opportunities.
Energy markets have dramatically changed over the past year, which has knock-on effects for certain types of infrastructure assets.
Certain sub-sectors benefit from rising inflation, and we are carefully considering the impact of inflation in our investment decisions.

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks and uncertainties. The Board, through its audit and risk committee, has undertaken a robust assessment and review of the principal risks facing PINT, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity. Please see below a summary of these risks and their mitigation.
• A fall in demand for the Portfolio Companies' services or products. A Portfolio Company's revenue is exposed to market supply and demand forces. Falls in demand that are below the levels used in underlying valuation assumptions could lead to adverse financial performance of the Portfolio Company.
• The Company may not meet its investment objective; this could result in returns being materially lower than targeted and dissatisfied investors.
• Investor sentiment could lead to the Company share price falling below its net asset value which would inhibit new equity capital raises. An inability to raise new equity capital could be inhibitive to scaling the Portfolio and disrupt liquidity levels.
• Availability of appropriate investments to acquire due to unfavourable deal terms.
• Re-investment risk which could arise from delayed re-deployment of any proceeds
from the sale of assets.
• The level and cost of debt within the Company, special purpose vehicles and/or Portfolio Companies could result in increased volatility in the net asset value.
• Portfolio concentration risk in relation to exposure to individual assets, tenant operators, geographies and asset types. This could impact net asset valuations and ultimately affect the Company's targeted rate of return.
Governance
• An over-reliance on the Investment Manager. A failure of the Investment Manager to retain or recruit appropriately qualified personnel may have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall performance.
• Poor performance by third-party service providers could result in inability to perform key functions (e.g. reporting, record keeping etc.) effectively. This could result in loss of Company information, errors in published information or damage to its reputation.
• Cyber security risk which could arise from reputational damage from theft or loss of confidential data through cyber hacking.
• The audit and risk committee reviews service providers' cyber security arrangements, controls and business continuity processes to ensure any data loss is mitigated and reputational damage is minimised.
• Geopolitical turbulence (e.g. Ukraine/Russia conflict): medium and long‑term impact of global economies, including energy prices and interest rates, and individual companies to which the Company has exposure.
• Climate change causing physical and transition risks could impact the financial performance of the Portfolio. Physical risks arising from extreme weather events could impact the operations of the Portfolio Company. In addition, transition risk in terms of policy, legal, technological, market and reputation risks could negatively impact the operations of the assets.
Each Director confirms that, to the best of his or her knowledge:
This interim financial report was approved by the Board on 21 September 2022 and was signed on its behalf by:
Vagn Sørensen Chair
We have been engaged by Pantheon Infrastructure Plc (the 'Company') to review the interim financial statements in the interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2022 which comprises the Interim Income Statement, the Interim Balance Sheet, the Interim Cash Flow Statement, the Interim Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes 1 to 22 (together the 'interim financial statements'). We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements in the interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2022 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with FRS 104 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As disclosed in Note 1A – Basis of preparation, the interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The interim financial statements included in this interim financial report have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 104 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
In reviewing the interim financial report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the interim financial report. Our conclusion is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the 'Basis of conclusion' paragraph of this report.
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Pantheon Infrastructure Plc (the 'Company') is a listed closed-ended investment company incorporated in England and Wales on 9 September 2021, with registered number 13611678. The Company began trading on 15 November 2021 when the Company's shares were admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is Beaufort House, 51 New North Road, Exeter EX4 4EP.
The Company's condensed financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 104 as it applies to the financial statements of the Company for the period from 9 September 2021 to 30 June 2022. They have also been prepared on the assumption that approval as an investment trust will continue to be granted. The Company's financial statements are presented in GBP and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (£'000) except when indicated otherwise.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SORP for the financial statements of investment trust companies and venture capital trusts issued by the AIC in April 2021.
These are the Company's first financial statements since incorporation. Consequently, there are no comparatives for a previous period. These condensed financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and under the historical cost basis of accounting, modified to include the revaluation of certain assets at fair value.
The Directors have made an assessment of going concern, taking into account the Company's current performance and financial position as at 30 June 2022. In addition, the Directors have assessed the outlook, which considers economic recovery in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing geopolitical uncertainties as a result of the Russia–Ukraine conflict including disruption to the global supply chain and increases in the cost of living as a result of this conflict, persistent inflation, interest rate rises and the impact of climate change on the Company's Portfolio using the information available up to the date of issue of the financial statements.
In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered budgeted and projected results of the business, including projected cash flows, various downside modelling scenarios and the risks that could impact the Company's liquidity over the twelve months from the date of approval of the unaudited interim financial statements.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Company is engaged in a single segment of business, being investment in infrastructure to generate investment returns while preserving capital. The financial information used by the Directors and Investment Manager to allocate resources and manage the group presents the business as a single segment comprising a homogeneous portfolio.
Given the nature of the Company's assets which comprise predominantly unlisted fund investments, while the Company operates a robust and consistent valuation process, there is significant estimation uncertainty in the underlying fund valuations which are estimated at a point in time. Accordingly, while the Company considers circumstances where it might be appropriate to apply an override, this will be exercised only where it is judged necessary to reflect fair value. Similarly, while relevant information relating to but received after the measurement date is considered, the Directors will only consider an adjustment to the financial statements if it were to have a significant impact and is indicative of conditions present at the measurement date.
The Company has fully adopted sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102. All investments held by the Company are classified as 'fair value through profit or loss'. As the Company's business is investing in financial assets with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of interest, dividends or increases in fair value, investments are recognised at fair value on initial recognition represented by the cost of acquisition. The Company manages and evaluates the performance of these investments on a fair value basis.
Upon initial recognition the investments held by the Company are classified 'at fair value through profit or loss'. All gains and losses are allocated to the capital column within the Income Statement as 'Gains on investments held at fair value through profit or loss'. Also included within this are transaction costs in relation to the purchase or sale of investments. When a purchase or sale is made under a contract, the terms of which require delivery within the time frame of the relevant market, the investments concerned are recognised or derecognised on the trade date. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments are valued at fair value through profit or loss. For listed investments this is deemed to be bid market prices. Fair values for unquoted investments, or for investments for which the market is inactive, are established by the Directors after discussion with the Investment Manager using valuation techniques in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital (the 'IPEV') guidelines.
Valuations are based on the net asset value of those funds ascertained from periodic valuations provided by the general partner or manager of the funds and recorded up to the measurement date. Such valuations are necessarily dependent upon the reasonableness of the valuations by the fund manager of the underlying assets. In the absence of contrary information the values are assumed to be reliable. These valuations are reviewed periodically for reasonableness and recorded up to the measurement date.
Where formal valuations are not completed as at the Balance Sheet date, the last available valuation from the general partner or manager of the funds or the cost of the investment is adjusted for any subsequent cash flows occurring between the valuation date and the Balance Sheet date. Investments held in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of foreign exchange ruling on the Balance Sheet date. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised at the trade date of the transaction.
The Company makes investments and has commitments in currencies other than GBP, its reporting currency, and, accordingly, a significant proportion of its investments and cash balances are in currencies other than GBP. The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risks associated with its underlying investment activities. The contracts entered into by the Company are denominated in the currency of the geographic areas in which the Company has significant exposure against its reporting currency.
The forward foreign exchange contracts are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at fair value, the amount for which an asset, liability or equity instrument could be exchanged or settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Premiums payable under such arrangements are initially capitalised on the Balance Sheet.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. The Company has elected not to apply hedge accounting and therefore changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency contracts are recognised within the capital column of the Income Statement in the period in which they occur.
Distributions receivable are recognised on the ex-dividend date. Where no ex-dividend date is quoted, distributions are recognised when the Company's right to receive payment is established. UK distributions are shown net of tax credits and foreign dividends are gross of the appropriate rate of withholding tax, with any withholding tax suffered being accounted for separately. Income distributions from funds are recognised when the right to distributions is established.
Other income is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Gains or losses resulting from the movement in fair value of the Company's investments held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income at each valuation point.
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses, including investment management fees, are charged through the revenue account except expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of an investment. These are treated as capital costs and separately identified.
Finance costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with bank and other borrowings. Finance costs also consist of the amortisation charge of arrangement or other costs associated with the set-up of borrowings; these are amortised over the period of the loan. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Corporation tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax that is provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the period end date.
Deferred tax is not provided on capital gains and losses arising on the revaluation or disposal of investments because the Company meets (and intends to continue for the foreseeable future to meet) the conditions for approval as an investment trust company, pursuant to sections 1158 and 1159 of the CTA.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised if it is considered more likely than not that there will be suitable profits from which the future reversal of timing differences can be deducted.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of placement, free of any encumbrances, are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at transaction value. Subsequent measurement is at the initial recognised value less any cash payments from the debtor, less provision or write off for doubtful debts. A provision is made where there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover balances in full. Any adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently held at amortised cost.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by shareholders at an Annual General Meeting.
The share premium account represents the accumulated premium paid for shares issued above their nominal value less issue expenses. This is a reserve forming part of the non-distributable reserves. The following items are taken to this reserve:
The capital redemption reserve represents cancelled share premium less dividends paid from this reserve. This is a distributable reserve. This reserve also includes the cost of reacquiring the Company's Ordinary Shares if the Company is in a position to buy back shares.
The following are accounted for in this reserve:
The revenue reserve represents the surplus of accumulated profits from the revenue column of the Income Statement and is distributable.
The functional and presentational currency of the Company is GBP because it is the primary currency in the economic environment in which the Company operates and as a UK listed company, GBP is also its capital raising currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the local currency at actual foreign exchange rates as at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are reported at the rates of foreign exchange prevailing at the period end. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as a foreign exchange gain or loss in the revenue or capital column of the Income Statement depending on whether the gain or loss is of a capital or revenue nature. For non-monetary assets these are recognised as fair value adjustments.
The preparation of financial statements requires the Company and Investment Manager to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of investments at fair value at the financial reporting date and the reported fair value movements during the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future years. Details of how the fair values of unlisted investments are estimated and any associated judgements applied are provided in section (D) of this note and also within the 'market price risk' section in note 20.

The Company is an investment trust and is therefore not subject to tax on capital gains. Deferred tax is not provided on capital gains and losses arising on the revaluation or disposal of investments because the Company meets (and intends to meet for the foreseeable future) the conditions for approval as an investment trust company. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of excess management expenses and expenses in excess of taxable income as they will only be recoverable to the extent that there is sufficient future taxable revenue.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company had no unprovided deferred tax liabilities.
Earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue since IPO. As there are dilutive instruments outstanding, basic and diluted earnings per share are shown below:
| Revenue | Capital | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earnings from 9 September 2021 to 30 June 2022 (£'000) | (1,172) | 614 | (558) |

The Subscription Shares have been converted into Ordinary Shares post period end, see note 13 for further details.
There were no meaningful shareholders between incorporation on 9 September 2021 and 16 November 2021, the IPO date, and therefore this period has not been included for the purpose of calculating the weighted average number of shares above.

On 11 November 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of £400.0 million through the issue of 400 million Ordinary Shares at IPO for an issue price of 100 pence per Ordinary Share. Each holder of Ordinary Shares is entitled, on a show of hands, to one vote and, on a poll, to one vote for each Ordinary Share held.
Subscription Shares were issued to subscribers as part of the Company's IPO on the basis of one Subscription Share for every five Ordinary Shares subscribed for. Each Subscription Share confers the right (but not the obligation) to subscribe for one Ordinary Share on exercise of the rights attaching to the Subscription Shares. The subscription price per Ordinary Share payable on the exercise of the subscription rights was 101 pence, exercisable on either 30 June 2022, 29 July 2022 or 31 August 2022.
The Company announced on 5 July 2022 that 36,509,658 Subscription Shares had been converted into 36,509,658 Ordinary Shares which were admitted to trading on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange plc on 13 July 2022.
The Company announced on 3 August 2022 that 13,188,554 Subscription Shares had been converted into 13,188,554 Ordinary Shares which were admitted to trading on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange plc on 11 August 2022.
The Company announced on 2 September 2022 that 24,117,160 Subscription Shares have been converted into 24,117,160 Ordinary Shares. In addition, the Final Subscription Trustee exercised the Subscription Rights attaching to the 6,184,628 outstanding Subscription Shares on the same terms. Therefore in aggregate, 30,301,788 new Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange plc on 9 September 2022. There remain no Subscription Shares in issue and the Subscription Share line was cancelled on 9 September 2022.

On 17 June 2022, the Company announced that the share premium account had been cancelled in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 in order to create a distributable reserve, the capital redemption reserve, that is capable of being applied in any manner in which the Company's profits available for distribution are able lawfully to be applied.
Basic NAV per share is calculated by dividing net assets in the balance sheet attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at the end of the year. As there are dilutive instruments outstanding, both basic and diluted NAV per share are shown below:
| 30 June 2022 |
|
|---|---|
| Net assets attributable (£'000) | 391,526 |
| Ordinary Shares | 400,000,000 |
| NAV per Ordinary Share | 97.88p |
The calculation of diluted net asset value per share assumes the conversion of all outstanding Subscription Shares at a price of 101 pence per share. Given that the conversion price is greater than the undiluted net asset value per share, the conversion of Subscription Shares results in a higher net asset value per share.

The Company has formed two wholly owned subsidiaries.
Pantheon Infrastructure Holdings LP ('PIH LP') was incorporated on 5 November 2021 with a registered address in the State of Delaware – National Registered Agents, Inc., 209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801 – and is wholly owned by the Company.
The Company holds an investment in PIH LP. In accordance with FRS 102, the Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements on the grounds that its subsidiary is held exclusively with a view to subsequent resale as it is considered part of an investment portfolio.
Investments in the Portfolio Companies are held through PIH LP and investments held within PIH LP are based on the fair value of the investments held in those entities.
The general partner for PIH LP is Pantheon Infrastructure Holdings GP LLC ('PIH GP'). PIH GP was incorporated on 5 November 2021 with a registered address in the State of Delaware – National Registered Agents, Inc., 209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801 – and is wholly owned by the Company.
The Company has not consolidated PIH GP as it is immaterial. This treatment is supported by the Companies Act 2006, section 405 (2), whereby a subsidiary undertaking may be excluded from consolidation if its inclusion is not material for the purpose of giving a true and fair view.
At 30 June 2022 there were capital commitments outstanding of £92.12 million in respect of investments in infrastructure assets. The Company expects 100% of the capital commitments outstanding to be called within the next twelve months. These commitments will be funded using the Company's capital.
Financial assets of the group are carried in the Balance Sheet at their fair value or approximation of fair value. The fair value is the amount at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date, other than a forced liquidation sale.
The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Categorisation within the hierarchy has been determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the relevant assets as follows:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period.
| Level 1 £'000 |
Level 2 £'000 |
Level 3 £'000 |

| Forward exchange contracts | — | (4,994) | — | (4,994) |
| — | (4,994) | 145,360 | 140,366 |
The fair value of these investments and derivative contracts is recorded in the Balance Sheet as at the period end.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period, nor have there been any transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
The carrying amount of all assets and liabilities, detailed within the Balance Sheet, is considered to be the same as their fair value.
The primary investment objective of the Company is to seek to maximise long-term capital growth for its shareholders by investing in equity or equity-related investments in a diversified portfolio of infrastructure assets. Investments are not restricted to a single market but are made when the opportunity arises and on an international basis.
The Company's financial instruments comprise infrastructure investments and derivatives.
The principal risks the Company faces in its portfolio management activities are:
The Investment Manager monitors the financial risks affecting the Company on a regular basis and the Directors regularly receive financial information, which is used to identify and monitor risk.
In accordance with FRS 102, an analysis of financial assets and liabilities, which identifies the risk to the Company of holding such items, is given below.
Due to the nature of the Company's investment policy, the largest proportion of the Portfolio is invested in indirect investments held in infrastructure assets through the Company's subsidiary, which are generally less readily marketable than listed equities. The Directors believe that the Company, as a closed-end fund with no fixed wind-up date, is ideally suited to making long-term investments in instruments with limited marketability. The investments in unquoted securities are monitored by the Board on a regular basis.
As a result, the Company may not be able to quickly liquidate its investments at an amount close to their fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements, including the need to meet outstanding undrawn commitments. The Company manages its liquid investments to ensure sufficient cash is available to meet contractual commitments and also seeks to have cash available to meet other short-term financial needs.
As at 30 June 2022, the liquidity risk was considered low given the cash and cash equivalents available to the Company.
| 30 June | |
|---|---|
| 2022 | |
| £'000 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 251,674 |
| Debtors | 597 |
| Other creditors | (1,111) |
As at 30 June 2022, the capital commitments outstanding totalled £92.12 million, therefore liquid resources available after commitments were £159.04 million.
Interest rate movements may affect the level of income receivable on cash deposits and interest payable on variable rate borrowings. Cash deposits generally comprise overnight call or short-term money market deposits and earn interest at floating rates based on prevailing bank base rates. Increases in interest rates may also ultimately impact the discount rates used to value investments.
Interest rate movements may affect the interest rate paid on financial liabilities. As at 30 June 2022 the Company had limited exposure to this risk, as it had no borrowings.
Governance
Financial statements
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will cause a financial loss to the Company by failing to discharge its obligations to the Company when they fall due. Cash deposits are placed with approved counterparties, all of whom have a credit rating of A– or above.
At the period end, the Company's financial assets exposed to credit risk amounted to the following:
| 30 June | |
|---|---|
| 2022 | |
| £'000 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 251,674 |
The fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the Company may fluctuate. This market risk may comprise: foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and/or fair value risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing these risks. The Investment Manager assesses the exposure to market risk when making each investment decision, and monitors the overall level of market risk across the Company's investments on an ongoing basis.
The nature of the Company's fixed asset investments, with a high proportion of the Portfolio invested in unquoted securities, means that the investments are valued by the Directors after due consideration of the most recent available information from the underlying investments.
If the investment portfolio fell by 20% from its 30 June 2022 valuation, with all other variables held constant, there would have been a reduction of £29.07 million in the return before taxation. An increase of 20% would increase the return before taxation by an equal and opposite amount.
Since it is the Company's policy to invest in a diverse portfolio of investments based in a number of countries, the Company is exposed to the risk of movement in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risks associated with its investment portfolio. The contracts entered into by the Company are denominated in the currency of the geographic areas in which the Company has significant exposure against its reporting currency. The contracts are measured at fair value and are recorded in the balance sheet as other financial liabilities held at fair value. The Company has not elected to apply hedge accounting therefore the fair value changes are taken to the capital reserve.
The table below sets out the Company's foreign exchange exposure:
| GBP | USD1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Foreign exchange risk | £'000 | £'000 |
| At 30 June | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 206,554 | 45,120 |
| Investments held at fair value through profit or loss | — | 145,360 |
| Other debtors | 597 | — |
| Other payables | (1,111) | — |
If there had been an increase in the GBP/USD exchange rate of 10% it would have the effect of decreasing equity shareholders' funds by £19.05 million in the absence of using any forward currency contracts to offset the decrease in value. The calculations are based on the financial assets and liabilities and the foreign exchange rate as at 30 June 2022 of 1.2146 GBP/USD.
The Company's equity comprises Ordinary Shares as described in note 13. Capital is managed so as to maximise the return to shareholders while maintaining a capital base that allows the Company to operate effectively in the marketplace and sustain future development of the business.
The Company considers its capital to comprise called up share capital and reserves.
The Company's capital requirement is reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.
The amounts payable to the Investment Manager, together with the details of the Investment Management Agreement, and outstanding amounts are disclosed in note 3. The existence of an independent Board of Directors demonstrates that the Company is free to pursue its own financial and operating policies and therefore, under the AIC SORP, the Investment Manager is not considered to be a related party.
The Company's related parties are its Directors and the fees paid to the Company's Board are disclosed in note 5 alongside the outstanding amounts payable as at 30 June 2022. There are no other identifiable related parties at the period end.
The Company announced on 5 July 2022 that 36,509,658 Subscription Shares had been converted into 36,509,658 Ordinary Shares which were admitted to trading on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange plc on 13 July 2022.

The Company announced on 14 September 2022 that it was seeking to raise up to £250 million via an issue of C shares.
At 21 September 2022 the Company had completed the acquisition of eight investments, for a total consideration of £257 million, with an additional investment of c.£41 million committed, with closing subject to regulatory clearances. The Company has one further investment, a European fibre asset, in legal closing for a total investment consideration of c.£46 million.
On completion of these investments, which are expected during Q4, the Company will have made a total of ten investments for a total consideration of £344 million.
