CapMan established a MEUR 86 fund focusing on growth investmentsin December 2017.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BULLETIN
"CapMan had an excellent year in 2017. We increased our comparable operating profit to MEUR 24 and our comparable earnings per share by 16 per cent to 13.0 cents. Our share price increased by approximately 40 per cent during the year and, taking dividends into account, our shareholders' total return exceeded 49 per cent in 2017. By these metrics, we were among the best-performing companies on the Helsinki stock exchange.
During the year, we completed the strategically significant Norvestia acquisition and the related integration processes. The acquisition increased and strengthened our balance sheet and complemented our business portfolio by bringing in the Growth Equity investment area. Early in the year, CapMan moved into the Mid Cap segment on the Helsinki Stock Exchange and the number of shareholders rose above 16,000, up 37 per cent from the previous year.
CapMan achieved renewal and a return to growth path in 2017. We invested in growth particularly in the Management Company and Services business by launching new investment areas, funds and investment products. One of our sources of pride in this area is our new Growth Equity fund, which we established towards the end of the year. We also have several projects underway in our other new investment area, CapMan Infra, and we are planning to establish a CapMan Infra fund in 2018. In the CapMan Real Estate
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BULLETIN
business, we made several successful investments and exits during the year, and we also launched the new CapMan Nordic Real Estate II and CapMan Nordic Property Income funds. Having our mandate from BVK increased to €500 million is another example of positive achievement during the year.
In 2017, our efforts to create added value took concrete form in our other business areas as well: CapMan Growth Equity sold its share in Idean Enterprise Oy, which had a significant impact on our overall result for the year. In the autumn, CapMan Buyout made a successful exit from the private dentistry chain Oral Hammaslääkärit and invested in KotiSun Group. In CapMan Credit we made several investments during the year and despite of challenging market environment in Russia, we succeeded to develop our target companies in 2017.
Our service business achieved strong growth. The contract volumes of our procurement network CaPS grew by 24 per cent to reach € 149 million in 2017. In the latter part of the year, we incorporated Scala Fund Advisory. The arrangement makes it possible for Scala to focus on its core business and clarifies the market position of this service business.
Our goal is to grow CapMan a leading Nordic private asset manager with active approach to value-creation in its target companies and with increasingly flexible and diverse investment products and services to an expanding investor base. We aim to continue to invest in growth in 2018 in our current investment and service areas as well as new segments. To boost our growth, we will launch new investment products in the coming years, which will improve the profitability of our Management Company and Services business. The first
steps to achieve our goal were already taken in 2017, and we expect them to take concrete form in 2018.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my warmest thanks to our shareholders, equity investors and all CapMan employees for a successful 2017. During the year, we saw CapMan evolve into a modern and development-oriented private equity company, and we are now in a good position to continue to grow and develop CapMan further."
The growth objective for Management Company and Services business is more than 10 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for return on equity is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for net gearing, that is ratio of net interest-bearing debt to equity, is a maximum of 40 per cent on average. CapMan's objective is to pay at least 75 per cent of earnings per share as dividend.
CapMan expects to achieve these financial objectives gradually and key figures are expected to show fluctuation on annual basis considering the nature of the business. CapMan expects fees from services to continue to grow and have an impact on results from the Management Company and Services business in 2018. Our objective is to improve the profitability of Management Company and Services business before carried interest income and any possible items affecting comparability.
The return on CapMan's investments have a substantial impact on CapMan's overall result. The development of industries and local economies, inflation development, valuation multiples of peer companies, exchange rates and various other factors outside of CapMan's control influence fair value

CapMan is a leading Nordic private asset expert with an active approach to value-creation in its target companies. CapMan has two operating segments: a Management Company and Services business and an Investment business.
In its Management Company and Services business, CapMan manages private equity funds that are invested by its partnership-based investment teams. Investments are Nordic and Russian mainly unlisted companies and Nordic real estate. CapMan raises capital for the funds from Nordic and international investors. In addition, CapMan offers fund advisory services through Scala Fund Advisory and procurement services to companies in Finland and Sweden through its procurement service CaPS. CapMan also offers fund management services to alternative fund managers. The Management Company and Services business has two main sources of income: fees and carried interest. The fees include management fees related to CapMan's position as a fund management company as well as fees from CapMan's service business.
Through its Investment business, CapMan invests from its own balance sheet in the private equity asset class and listed markets in a diversified manner. Income in this business segment is generated by changes in the fair value of
investments and realised returns following exits and periodic returns, such as interest and dividends. Please see Appendix 3 for additional details about CapMan's business model.

A quarterly breakdown of turnover and profit, together with turnover, operating profit/loss, and profit/loss by segment for the financial year are available in the Tables section of this report.
Turnover generated by the Management Company and Services business for the financial year totalled MEUR 31.1 (MEUR 26.7).
Fees totalled MEUR 26.7 (MEUR 26.6). In addition to management fees, fees recorded also included fees generated by CapMan's Procurement Services (CaPS), fund advisory services (Scala Fund Advisory) and other services. Only a small amount of fees for fund advisory services are paid as retainers and total fees may therefore vary significantly from one period to the next.
Carried interest income for the review period totalled MEUR 4.4 (MEUR 0.0) and was mainly received from the funds managed by Access Capital Partners and CapMan Equity VII fund. The clawback provision related to CapMan Real Estate I fund was increased by MEUR 0.1 during the financial year. Turnover of Management Company and Services business adjusted by the change of clawback provision was MEUR 31.2 for the financial year (MEUR 29.0).
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BULLETIN
The operating income of the Management Company and Services business was MEUR 1.5 (MEUR -1.5). The profit for the review period was MEUR 0.9 (MEUR -1.6).
The annual goodwill impairment test resulted in an impairment loss of EUR 1.5 million for the goodwill allocated to the Russian management company business. This was mainly attributable to a revised cash flow estimate, due to continued political risks and uncertainty in the fundraising market, which is expected to slow down the fundraising process of the new fund and decrease its size.
Turnover of the Investment business was MEUR 3.7 in 2017 (2016: MEUR 0.0) due to dividend and interest income from financial assets held for trading. Beforementioned assets were transferred to CapMan in conjunction with the Norvestia acquisition in the end of 2016.
Operating profit for the Investment business was MEUR 18.0 (MEUR 20.2). Comparable adjusted operating profit was MEUR 19.9 (MEUR 12.8) adjusting for expenses related to the integration and acquisition of Norvestia. Profit for the Investment business was MEUR 14.6 (MEUR 16.9). Comparable adjusted profit was MEUR 16.3 (MEUR 9.5). Items affecting comparability are presented in the Tables section of this report.

BULLETIN
Capital under management refers to the remaining investment capacity, mainly equity, of funds and capital already invested at acquisition cost or at fair value, when referring to mandates. As capital under management is calculated based on the capital, which forms the basis for management fees, investment capacity includes in addition to equity also debt for such funds where debt is included in the fee base. Capital increases as fundraising for new funds progresses or as investments are executed under investment mandates and declines as exits are completed.
Capital under management was MEUR 2,808.1 as of 31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: MEUR 2,692). Funds established during the financial year had a positive impact on capital under management compared to previous year.

Mari Simula was appointed Head of Fund Investor Relations at CapMan and a member of CapMan Plc's Management Group. Scala Fund Advisory was incorporated in December. The changes come into force starting from 5 December 2017.
The Arbitral Tribunal appointed by the Redemption Committee of the Finland Chamber of Commerce rendered its decision on 9 October 2017 in the redemption proceedings concerning the shares held by minority shareholders in Norvestia Oyj ("Norvestia"). The Arbitral Tribunal rendered a decision according to which the redemption price of a Norvestia share was EUR 7.31 per share. The decision had no significant impact on CapMan's result.
CapMan established first ("CMNPI") open-ended real estate fund CapMan Nordic Property Income Fund with a non-UCITS structure in December.
Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), Germany's largest pension scheme group, increased the investment volume of the fund advised by CapMan Real Estate to €500 million in October.
CapMan Real Estate II fund closed in its first and final closing at hard cap with EUR 425 million of equity commitments in September.
Pia Kåll was appointed Managing Partner of CapMan Buyout and a member of Management Group in June.
CapMan exited from Idean Enterprises Ltd in March. The transaction contributed five cents to CapMan's EPS.
BULLETIN
CapMan's CEO Heikki Westerlund announced that he is resigning from his position as CEO in March. Joakim Frimodig was appointed as Interim CEO of CapMan Plc as of 4 May 2017 and CEO of CapMan as of 1 September 2017.
CapMan announced early redemption of its €15 million hybrid bond issued in 2013 on February.
Juha Mikkola, responsible for Growth Equity, was appointed a member of CapMan Group's Management Group in February.
In conjunction with the establishment of the CapMan Growth Equity fund CapMan sold its shares in six growth companies to the fund for MEUR 26.6 in the beginning of 2018 and made a corresponding equity commitment into the fund. The sales price was based on the fair values of the investments and did not have a profit impact.
Private equity investment is generally subject to a risk of non-liquid investments, among others, which means uncertainty of the realisation of any increase in value, a risk concerning general economic development and market situation and a risk concerning the economy and political situation of target countries.
Investment operations carried out by CapMan are subject to general market risk. Market values can change, for example, because of fluctuations in the equity, fixed income, currency and real estate markets. Changes in market
values impact the result of CapMan through the appreciations of its investment assets. Changes in the equity markets also influence the valuation of unlisted portfolio companies because the valuation methods used by funds include the share values of suitable listed companies. Economic uncertainty may have a direct impact on the success of the funds administered by CapMan, on the success of CapMan's investment activities, and also on the assets available for investment or solvency of the current and potential investors of the funds.
The business operations of the CapMan Group have a material risk of failure regarding the establishment of new private equity funds and their fundraising. Successful funding is important to management fees and creates opportunity for receiving carried interest income in the future. For example, poor performance of investments made by funds managed by CapMan, increasing competition or other reasons that are independent of CapMan may make it more difficult to raise funds from new or current investors in the future.
The values of growth companies can vary positively or negatively within short periods if changes occur in the peer group or in the interest in the company of potential buyers. As a result of exit processes, significant return is typically realised on successful growth investments also in the short term as the exit price is based on strategic value and synergies created for the buyer, and not directly on peer group multiples.
The timing of exits and the magnitude of the potential carried interest profits are difficult to foretell. The timing of fees from fund advisory activities are difficult to predict due to the nature of the business.
BULLETIN
Group companies managing a fund may in certain circumstances, pursuant to the terms of the fund agreement, have to return carried interest income they have received (so-called clawback). The obligation to return carried interest income applies typically when, according to the final distribution of funds, the carried interest income received by the fund management company exceeds the carried interest it is entitled to when the fund expires. CapMan recognises revenue from carried interest, to the extent carried interest is based on realised cash flows and repayment risk is estimated to be very low, CapMan is entitled to carried interest, a confirmation on the amount has been received and CapMan is relatively close to receiving it in cash. Returned carried interest income based on clawback conditions would in turn have a negative impact on CapMan's result as a potential clawback provision may not be sufficient. CapMan has recorded a EUR 7.6 million clawback provision for the CapMan Real Estate I KY fund. The sufficiency of the provision is reviewed quarterly by the management but its actual amount will only be known after all target investments of the fund have been liquidated. The realisation of the clawback liability would have a negative cash flow impact and it is possible that the provision made is not sufficient.
The company's financing agreements include financing covenants and other conditions. Violation of covenants related to financing agreements and a failure to fulfil other contractual terms may cause the cost of financing to increase significantly and even jeopardise continued financing for CapMan.
Changes in the securities markets regulation, significant domestic or international tax regulation or practice and regulation generally applicable to business operations, or measures and actions by authorities or requirements
set by authorities, or in the manner in which such laws, regulations and actions are implemented or interpreted, as well as the application and implementation of new laws and regulations, may have a significant effect on CapMan's business operations.
Economic growth in the Nordic countries is expected to slow down in 2018. Sweden's growth is expected to weaken compared to previous year by the declining housing prices and private demand. The outlook for Finland's economic growth is expected to slow down as well; future growth is dependent on structural policies and labour participation rate. 1
Institutional investors' appetite for alternative investments have remained strong due to global low interest rate environment. According to an investor survey by Preqin, 39 per cent of respondents plan to increase allocations in private equity, 36 per cent in real estate, 50 per cent in infrastructure and 62 per cent in private debt.2
Private equity investments have played an increasingly important role in investor portfolios in recent years given the fact that private equity investment annual returns have been higher compared to public market performance. Especially buyout market which represents 57 % of the global private equity industry, looks set to be the destination of significant investor allocations in the coming years. According to Preqin survey buyout funds have had the best and most stable performance globally compared to other alternative asset classes.3
BULLETIN
The 10-year median net return of European buyout funds was 11 per cent p.a., which was 7 percentage points higher compared to a comparable stock market index.4 Private equity investments by Finnish pension insurance companies have returned on average 10 per cent p.a. during the past 10 years.5
The greatest investor appetite increase during the last 12 months is from family offices and sovereign wealth funds according to Preqin's survey for fund managers globally. Geographically the strongest investor appetite is from Asia.6
High activity in the fundraising market continues and reflects the increasing interest for private equity investments. Year 2017 reached a record-breaking level in terms of global fundraising market. Similar activity was previously seen in H1 2008. On the other hand, the number of established funds decreased compared to the previous year and to six earlier years.7

The competition for private equity and attractive transactions among fund managers is tightened: new investment strategies are being explored from geographical or industrial perspective among fund managers. Along with traditional fund launches the alternative structures, such as co-investments, are becoming more popular in fund managers offerings for investors.8
Global buyout market activity slowed down in 2017 compared to previous year in terms of number of deals completed while the value of deals increased slightly compared to previous year. 9
Fundraising for private debt funds reached record-levels in 2017. Debt funds were established faster and the target sizes of the funds were exceeded clearly. Direct lending funds were most numerous during the financial year. 10
Based on the preliminary market data, transaction volume in the Nordic real estate market amounted to approximately EUR 43 billion in 2017, which represents a 5 per cent increase year over year. 11 The acquisition of Sponda completed by Blackstone has increased the real estate transaction volume in 2017. The value of the transaction was approximately 3.8 billion euros.
The steady increase in transaction volumes across the Nordic region have compressed the yields further. Yield compression has especially impacted secondary assets and the yield gap to prime has decreased. In Sweden, prime offices traded at 3.3 per cent while cap rates for retail properties stood at 4.3 per cent as of Q4 2017.12 In Denmark, prime office and retail yields stood around 4.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent, respectively, at the end of the quarter.13
Also, the Finnish property investment market has remained strong during the review period with prime yields ranging between 3.5 per cent (office) and 3.8 per cent (retail).
The Nordic occupancy markets have benefitted from the macro-economic growth and positive momentum has continued leading to deceasing vacancies and rent hikes. During 2017, occupancy activity has notably increased in the Helsinki and Copenhagen Metropolitan Area which has previously suffered from high market vacancy.14
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BULLETIN
14 KTI, CapMan Real Estate
The growth objective for Management Company and Services business is more than 10 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for return on equity is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for net gearing, that is ratio of net interest-bearing debt to equity, is a maximum of 40 per cent on average. CapMan's objective is to pay at least 75 per cent of earnings per share as dividend.
CapMan expects to achieve these financial objectives gradually and key figures are expected to show fluctuation on annual basis considering the nature of the business. CapMan expects fees from services to continue to grow and have an impact on results from the Management Company and Services business in 2018. Our objective is to improve the profitability of Management Company and Services business before carried interest income and any possible items affecting comparability.
The return on CapMan's investments have a substantial impact on CapMan's overall result. The development of industries and local economies, inflation development, valuation multiples of peer companies, exchange rates and various other factors outside of CapMan's control influence fair value development of CapMan's overall investments in addition to company and real estate specific development. CapMan's objective is to improve results longer term, taking into account annual fluctuations affecting the business. For these and other above-mentioned reasons, CapMan does not provide numeric estimates for 2018.

BULLETIN
The Group's income taxes in the Income Statements are calculated on the basis of current taxes on taxable income and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of all temperary differences between book value and fiscal value.
CapMan's Board of Directors proposes a dividend of 11 cents per share to be paid for financial year 2017, a total of EUR 16 million. A dividend of EUR 0.09 per share, totalling EUR 13.0 million, for the financial year 2016.
The Group uses standardized derivative contracts to make portfolio management more effective. The fair values of the derivative contracts as well as the underlying values are given in the table below. The fair values are adjusted for the corresponding share's dividend income. Derivative contracts are recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. The fair value of futures corresponds to the futures' gain or loss. Hedge accounting is not used.

Growth Equity investments include direct minority investments in Nordic unlisted companies. Associated companies being growth equity investments are measured at fair value according to the exemption from applying the equity method under IAS 28. If the investments have no active market then the fair value is determined quarterly by using valuation methods according to IPEVG. The valuations are based on forecasted cash flows or peer group multiples. In estimating fair value of an investment, a method that is the most appropriate in light of the facts, nature and circumstances of the investment is applied.
In conjunction with the establishment of the Growth Equity fund CapMan sold its shares in six growth companies to the fund for MEUR 26.6 and made a corresponding equity commitment into the fund. The sales price was based on the fair values of the investments and did not have a profit impact.

CapMan has made some investments also in funds that are not managed by CapMan Group companies. The fair values of these investments in CapMan's balance sheet are based on the valuations by the respective fund managers. No separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan for these investments.
The changes in the peer group earnings multiples and the peer group discounts are typically opposite to each other. Therefore, if the peer group multiples increase, a higher discount is typically applied. Because of this, a change in the peer group multiples may not in full be reflected in the fair values of the fund investments.
The foreign exchange rates at the time of valuation have been applied in determining the fair values. Changes in the rates of Norwegian krone or Swedish krona would, in CapMan's estimate, have no significant direct impact on the fair values calculated by peer group multiples. A change in the exchange rate for the Russian rouble have had an impact and they have been taken into account in the valuation of the Russia funds.
The valuation of CapMan funds' investment is based on international valuation guidelines that are widely used and accepted within the industry and among investors. CapMan always aims at valuing funds' investments at their actual value. Fair value is the best estimate of the price that would be received by selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Determining the fair value of fund investments for funds investing in portfolio companies is carried out using International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG). In estimating fair value for an investment, CapMan applies a technique or techniques that is/are appropriate in light of the nature, facts, and circumstances of the investment in the context of the total investment portfolio. In doing this, current market data and several inputs, including the price at which an investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment, are evaluated and combined with market participant assumptions. In selecting the appropriate valuation technique for each particular investment, consideration of those specific terms of the investment that may impact its fair value is required.
Different methodologies may be considered. The most applied methodologies at CapMan include the price of recent investments, which is typically applied in the case of new investments, and the earnings multiple valuation technique, whereby public peer group multiples are used to estimate the value of a particular investment. CapMan always applies a discount to peer group multiples, due to e.g. limited liquidity of the investments. Due to qualitative nature of the valuation methodologies, they are mainly based on CapMan's judgment.
The Group has a Monitoring team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of the investment portfolio (financial assets entered at fair value through profit or loss) independently and objectively of the investment teams. The Monitoring team is responsible for reviewing the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals made by the case investment professionals are examined by the Monitoring team and subsequently approved by the Valuation Committee, which comprises the Chairman of the Investee Committee, the Group CFO and Heads of investment teams. The portfolio company valuations are reviewed in the Valuation Committee quarterly. The valuations are back tested against realised exit valuations, and the results of such back testing are reported to the Audit Committee annually.
Investments in real estate are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent external experts, who follow International Valuation Standards (IVS). The method most appropriate to the use of the property is always applied, or a combination of such methods. For the most part, the valuation methodology applied is the discounted cash flow method, which is based on significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include the following:
| Future rental cash inflows | Based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties; |
|---|---|
| Discount rates | Reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; |
| Estimated vacancy rates | Based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease; |
| Property operating expenses Including necessary investments to maintain functionality of the property for its expected useful life; | |
| Capitalisation rates | Based on actual location size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date; |
| Terminal value | Taking into account assumptions regarding maintenance costs, vacancy rates and market rents. |
The value of investments in joint ventures consist almost entirely of investments in Maneq Investments Luxembourg which is indirectly invested into portfolio companies in funds managed by CapMan. The fair values of investments are determined in the same way as in funds investing in portfolio companies. The investment is made through several separate instruments and their values are co-dependent. Therefore the investment has been values as one entity based on the fair values of underlying portfolio companies.

CapMan acquired Norvestia Group on December 19, 2016 in a voluntary public exchange offer. Thereafter, CapMan submitted an application to the Redemption Committee of the Finnish Central Chamber of Commerce to commence arbitration proceedings of all Norvestia Oyj's shares held by minority shareholders. CapMan offered EUR 7.14 per share in cash to Norvestia's shareholders in the compulsory redemption proceeding. The Arbitral Tribunal rendered its decision on October 9, 2017, according to which the redemption price of a Norvestia share shall be EUR 7.31 per share. In accordance with the decision by the Arbitral Tribunal, CapMan paid the redemption price on January 12, 2018, to all Norvestia's minority shareholders and recognised a loss of EUR 0.1 million in the consolidated income statement in 2017 as a change in fair value of a financial liability.

BULLETIN
The tables below show the status of the funds managed by CapMan as of 31 December 2017. CapMan groups its funds into four categories in terms of their life cycle as follows: 1) Funds generating carried interest; 2) Funds in the exit and value creation phase (current strategies); 3) Funds in the active investment phase (current strategies; and 4) Other funds.
Exits made by funds generating carried interest provide CapMan with immediate carry income, while those in the exit and value creation phase can be expected to start generating carried interest within the next 1-5 years. The carry potential of funds in the active investment phase is likely to be realised over the next 5-10 years. The final category comprises funds that are not part of CapMan's current strategy or do not offer any carried interest potential for CapMan, either because CapMan's share of carry in the funds concerned is small or because the funds are not expected to transfer to carry.
When analysing the projected timetable within which a fund could transfer to carry, the cumulative cash flow that investors have already received should be compared to the fund's paid-in capital. In order for a fund to enter carry, it must first return its paid-in capital and pay an annual preferential return to
investors. In the case of funds in the exit or value creation phase, the table shows the cash flow that must be returned to investors to enable a fund to transfer to carry. The carry potential of each fund can be evaluated by comparing this figure to the fair value of the fund's portfolio. A portfolio's fair value, including its possible net cash flows, provides an indication of the distributable capital available as of the end of the reporting period. Any uncalled capital in a fund (particularly relevant for funds in the active investment phase) should be taken into account when evaluating the cash flow that will be needed to enable a fund to transfer to carry.
The percentage shown in the last column indicates the share of each fund's cash flow due to CapMan as and when the fund transfers to carry. Following a previous distribution of carried interest, any new paid-in capital, together with the annual preferential return payable on it, must be returned to investors before any further distribution of carried interest can take place. Definitions of the column headings are shown below the table.

Explanation of the terminology used in the fund tables
Total capital committed to a fund by investors, i.e. the original size of a fund. For real estate funds, investment capacity also includes the share of debt financing used by a fund.
Total capital paid into a fund by investors as of the end of the review period.
The determination of the fair value of fund investments for funds investing in portfolio companies is carried out using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG,
www.privateequityvaluation.com). In estimating fair value for an investment, CapMan applies a technique or techniques that is/are appropriate in light of
the nature, facts, and circumstances of the investment in the context of the total investment portfolio. In doing this, current market data and several inputs, including the price at which an investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment, are evaluated and combined with market participant assumptions. In selecting the appropriate valuation technique for each particular investment, consideration of those specific terms of the investment that may impact its fair value is required.
Different methodologies may be considered. The most applied methodologies at CapMan include the price of recent investments, which is typically applied in the case of new investments, and the earnings multiple valuation technique, whereby public peer group multiples are used to estimate the value of a particular investment. Due to qualitative nature of the valuation methodologies, they are mainly based on CapMan's judgment.

Investments in real estate are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent external experts, who follow International Valuation Standards (IVS). The method most appropriate to the use of the property is always applied, or a combination of such methods.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Due to the nature of private equity investment activities, fund portfolios contain investments with a fair value that exceeds their acquisition cost, as well as investments with a fair value less than the acquisition cost.
When calculating the investors' share, a fund's net cash assets must be taken into account in addition to the portfolio at fair value. The proportion of debt financing in real estate funds is presented separately in the table.
This cash flow refers to the profit distributed by funds and the capital they pay back to investors. The figure indicates the size of the cash flow that must be returned to investors as of the end of the reporting period to enable a fund to transfer to carry. A fund's carry potential can be evaluated by comparing this figure to the fair value of its portfolio.
When a fund has generated the cumulative preferential return for investors specified in the fund agreements, the management company is entitled to an agreed share of future cash flows from the fund, known as carried interest.
When assessing the cash flow a fund needs in order to start generating carried interest, it should be noted that the capital of some funds has not yet been called and paid-in. After the previous distribution of profits, any new capital called in, as well as any annual preferential returns on it, must however be returned to investors before the new distribution of profits is paid.

CapMan's management considers it unlikely, in the light of the market situation, that further carried interest will be provided by the CapMan Real Estate I fund. As a result, the fund has been classified as a fund with no carried interest potential to CapMan. CapMan has recorded a EUR 7.6 million clawback provision for the CapMan Real Estate I KY fund. The sufficiency of the provision is reviewed quarterly by the management but its actual amount will
only be known after all target investments of the fund have been liquidated. The realisation of the clawback liability would have a negative cash flow impact and it is possible that the provision made is not sufficient.

BULLETIN
CapMan is a leading Nordic private asset expert with an active approach to value-creation in its target companies. Private equity investment means making direct equity investments in companies and real estate. Investments are made through funds, which raise their capital primarily from institutional investors such as pension funds and foundations, or directly from the balance sheet.
Private equity investors actively develop their portfolio companies and real estate by working closely with management and tenants. Value creation is based on promoting companies' sustainable growth and strengthening their strategic position. Private equity investment is of a long-term nature – investments are held for an average of four to six years and the entire life cycle of a fund is typically around 10 years. Over the long term, private equity funds have generated significantly higher levels of returns compared to other investment classes, and the industry's long-term prospects are favourable.1 By investing in CapMan, institutional and private investors can benefit from the profit potential of the private equity industry while diversifying their exposure. The Group has two operating segments: 1) a Management Company and Services business and 2) an Investment business.
In its Management Company and Services business, CapMan manages private equity funds that are invested by its investment partnerships. The investments are Nordic and Russian mainly unlisted companies and Nordic real estate. CapMan raises capital for the funds from Nordic and international investors. In addition, CapMan offers fund advisory (Scala Fund Advisory) and fund management services to external fund managers and investors in the asset class and procurement services (CaPS) to companies in Finland and Sweden.
The Management Company and Services business has two main sources of income, fee income and carried interest income. Fund investors pay a management fee to CapMan (typically 0.5-2.0% p.a.) during the life cycle of each fund. The management fee is based on fund size less realised exits during the fund's investment period (typically 5 years), after which the management fee is based on the remaining invested portfolio valued at cost.

fees generally represent a steady and highly predictable source of income. Fees, including retainers and success fees, are also generated from CapMan's service business comprising of CapMan Purchasing Scheme (CaPS), fund advisory services (Scala Fund Advisory) and services related to fund management. Fees generally cover CapMan's operating expenses.
The second source of income of the Management Company and Services business is carried interest received from funds. Carried interest denotes the Management Company's share of each fund's cash flow after paid-in capital has been distributed to fund investors and the latter have received their annual preferential return (so-called hurdle rate (IRR), typically 8% p.a.). CapMan books carried interest income when an exit is completed from a fund that is in carry or which will enter into carry as a consequence of the exit. The amount of carried interest generated depends on the timing of exits and the stage at which funds are in their life cycle.
Through its Investment business, CapMan invests in the private equity asset class and in the listed markets in a diversified manner. Private equity investments are made either directly, mainly as minority investments in unlisted growth companies, or through funds, which are mainly managed by CapMan. CapMan has a trading portfolio, which is mainly invested in Nordic listed equity, hedge funds and bonds. The trading portfolio is mainly for liquidity management.
Income in this business is generated by changes in the fair value of investments and realised returns following exits and periodic returns, such as interest and dividends. Fair value is determined by the development of portfolio companies
and real estate held by the funds, in addition to general market developments. Income from investments can sometimes be negative.
As there may be considerable quarterly fluctuations in carried interest and the fair value of fund investments, the Group's financial performance should be analysed over a longer time span than the quarterly cycle.
