Dear Shareholders,
The first half of the year has been marked by a strong activity for Luxempart.
We were able to maintain our investment pace with two new large direct investments in French companies, several add-on acquisitions in our portfolio companies and continued deployment in our growing private equity funds portfolio. Furthermore, the streamlining of our portfolio started three years ago is now mostly complete.
With a renewed and strengthened team, we have been able to execute the strategy that we fine-tuned three years ago. But our aim remains the same: build a solid and resilient portfolio, creating value over the long term. To achieve this, we seek to support great entrepreneurs and management teams in their development, and to select the best performing private equity funds to cover areas that we have decided not to cover directly.
In Direct Investments, we team up with entrepreneurs that seek capital and a supporting and constructive partner. They need to partner up to bring their company to the next level, either :
What does that mean for Luxempart and our investment approach? In our view, a number of elements are fundamental:
• We don't pretend to manage our companies, we remain in our role of active investors. Successful investors know what they are good at and what they don't master. This means that first and foremost, we need to be associated to entrepreneurial managers, who are significantly invested in their business, and who have shown success in running it for a long time. Investing in a business where you have to change everything is not a transaction for Luxempart. We team up with exceptional entrepreneurs and like-minded investors.
ANNUAL 2019 REPORT • We want to be close to our investments, to play a meaningful role and be the partner the entrepreneur turns to when he faces a challenge, be it positive or negative. This means that we need to have a more limited portfolio of investments, commensurate with our team. We believe that 20 to 25 lines can be handled with a team of 20 investment professionals. We have reduced our portfolio from 43 to 29 lines as of today. We have more time to spend on creating value for each line and to be a good partner to our coshareholders.
• We can help our companies develop by bringing competences to the table that do not necessarily exist before we invest, such as support in M&A transactions and balance sheet structuring. Moreover, our presence in various European countries (such as France, Germany, Italy, Belgium) allows for an efficient support in developing our portfolio companies internationally, but our network also helps them identifying talent to reinforce their teams and hence execute their business plans.
• We bring an external eye that has seen many different situations, businesses and sectors, acting as a sparring partner to the entrepreneur on strategic matters.
• We grant time! A strategy and a successful management can be initiated in two quarters, but needs to be carried out over a much longer time horizon. An entrepreneur, who by nature is attached to the long term development of his company will seek partners that are patient, supportive and professional. We strive to be such partners, to support our investments with no pre-defined horizon, but to also never become complacent. When we are not the best shareholder any more, we will seek for an exit, in order to hand over the company to a new partner. We might remain associated to the company, but let the lead to another investor, as we already sometimes do when we team up with other investors. We have a number of examples to give for this.
• Eventually, we know that alone, we might go faster, but together, we get farther. We are happy to partner up with like-minded investors that share the same principles, goals and approach. This allows us to invest in larger companies, which reduces risks, because they benefit from a broader and well-established base of operations.
How does that translate in the strategy that we have been executing since 2020 ?
• Reducing the number of lines means that we need to invest larger amounts per line. We have successfully initiated this move and today invest in general amounts above EUR 40m (with a target to reach EUR 50m-100m on average). Investing bigger amounts in a single company may seem more risky. But we believe it is not. It means that our team can dedicate more time and help more actively in developing the company. It also means that the company is usually larger, hence more stable and less risky. And in the end, investing even EUR 100m in a company means investing less than 5% of our NAV. As such, we can achieve satisfactory diversification while deploying more money on a single investment.
• However, we believe that our shareholders, by investing in Luxempart, seek for good diversification of their investment. This is where our Investment Funds activity comes into play. Thanks to this activity, we increase Luxempart's investment reach significantly beyond our European home base. We invest across the globe, mainly in North America, but also in other dynamic regions such as Asia. We do not supervise these investments, but select third-party private equity funds that have proven their performance, professionalism and resilience. We maintain close contacts with these teams and benefit from these interactions, since they provide meaningful and valuable market insight and business intelligence on various sectors that we can also use in our Direct Investment activity.
Before discussing our half year results and outlook, we would like to put our recent investments or divestments into perspective, given the strategy we have outlined :
• We are able to team up with seasoned investors that share our philosophy, e.g. Cobepa (Crealis and Salice), Armira (Tonies, ESG), Eurazeo (IM Global Partners) or more recently DBAG (Metalworks), and Caravelle (Kestrel Vision).
• During this period, we have disposed of a significant number of investments (out of a portfolio of 43 companies at the end of 2019). It is because we felt that for many it was the right time to sell at attractive values, and for the remainder that these investments did not fit our new strategy and that your funds might be better employed in new investments. In this context, we have significantly downsized our portfolio in listed investments. We totally exited from Ascom and TCM during the first half of the year. In May 2023 a take-over bid was launched on SNP, in which we tendered our stake in July. Also in July, we sold over half of our stake in Süss Microtec. Our main remaining listed lines are now composed of Nexus, Technotrans, Tonies and Atenor. These investments fit our strategy: we have a meaningful exposure, a board seat, and/or we are close to management or other significant shareholders that allow us to actively participate in the groups' development. On the combined exits we have made in listed companies since 2020, we have recouped 1.7x our invested moneys, representing an IRR of ca.16.4%.
ANNUAL 2019REPORT Considering the high amount of cash at the beginning of the year (20.6% of our NAV as at 31 December 2022), we deem our performance satisfactory.
We are confident that this strategy will continue to bear fruit. We have been telling you over the last three years that times were uncertain, for various reasons, but that we would be ready to seize good investment opportunities. We have done so in 2021 and 2022, but have intensified our activity in 2023, which was a busy first 6 months. We have deployed EUR 183.3m in Direct Investments, both in Kestrel Vision and Coutot-Roehrig, which will be presented in more detail hereafter, but also by reinforcing our investments in Evariste (to fund its significant and successful acquisition strategy), Nexus and Tonies. Seven of our portfolio companies have made acquisitions on their own, which we have either helped or overseen. Our portfolio fares well. This is shown by the significant growth in its key financial indicators. The average weighted LTM EBITDA at the end of June of our portfolio companies has grown by 8% compared to the end of 2022. This is a significant growth rate, achieved both organically and through acquisitions.
On the exit front, we have achieved proceeds of EUR 22.9m mainly stemming from the sale of the remainder of our listed portfolio, as explained here above (not counting ca. EUR 25m from the tender offer on SNP and ca. EUR 20m from the partial exit on Süss Microtec, settled in July and August).
Finally, our Investment Fund activity is pursuing its active deployment. We have invested EUR 60.9m across 25 active funds (hence spreading the risk), but have also received proceeds of EUR 19.3m. This might seem low, but it represents nevertheless 5% of our NAV in Investment Funds as of December 2022, that was translated into cash thanks to exits realized by the funds in the first half of 2023.
In terms of overall performance, our NAV has grown by 2.3% over the first 6 months of the year which represents a performance of 4.1% when adjusted for the dividend we paid in May 2023. Both pillars of our portfolio, Direct Investments and Investment Funds, saw an increase in their NAV.
Our benchmark, MSCI Europe Mid Cap net return showed an increase of 7.29% over the same period. However, looking over the period of the last 4 years, we significantly overperform our benchmark by 8.2%.
We are actively preparing the rest of the year. We consider having a good pipeline of opportunities and are more than confident that we will be able to complete at least one more transaction in our Direct Investment activity before yearend, and will also actively pursue our support in helping our existing portfolio companies to acquire competitors. We believe and are confident that this will also help us deploy additional funds. Our consolidated cash position stands at ca. EUR 233m as of 30 June 2023 (11.5% of our NAV), down from EUR 451m as of December 2022. Luxempart hence has ample means to finance these additional investments, without drawing our confirmed credit lines.
As a word of conclusion, please let us thank our growing team for their professionalism, support and commitment. Without them, none of this would be possible. We are also humbled by the trust and support that our Board of Directors places in the team, and assure you that we will do everything to pursue the development of your company.

On June 30, 2023, we agreed on the sale of 50% of our stake in Süss Microtec AG, for a cash amount of EUR 19.7m. Given that the settlement date of this operation was July 4, 2023, we only booked the transaction, and the related cash proceeds, in July 2023. Our full participation was still recognized under "Financial assets" on June 30, 2023.
On May 16, 2023, Octapharma AG, a company controlled by the main shareholder, launched a voluntary take-over bid on the shares of SNP Schneider Neureither & Partners SE, at a stock price of EUR 33.50/share.
On July 18, we decided to contribute our shares to the tender, lacking a clear visibility on the company's strategy and governance. The proceeds from this operation amounted to EUR 25.5m, resulting in a gain of EUR 4.9m versus our NAV as of 31 December 2022 but a loss of EUR -16.1m on the invested amount.
On August 11, 2023, Atenor convened its shareholders to an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on September 11, in order to (among others) resolve on a capital increase by contribution in cash with preferential subscription rights for the existing shareholders at an issue price that may not be inferior to EUR 10.23/share.
On August 16, 2023, Atenor published its half-year financial report (up to June 30, 2023), showing a net loss of EUR -53.8m with additional losses foreseen at year-end. Following this publication the stock price of Atenor decreased significantly.
Our stake in Atenor represents EUR 21.5m in our NAV as at June 30, 2023, and is based on the Atenor stock price at that date, as prescribed by IFRS 13.
As mentioned in the previous annual report, Luxempart has formalised the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance aspects in its business strategy and operations, based on existing investment procedures and the extension into further fields of ESG.
Luxempart's main sustainability objective for 2023 is to conduct a comprehensive review of its direct investment portfolio, from an ESG perspective. In March 2023, we launched our first data collection campaign throughout our portfolio. We sent out an ESG questionnaire covering Luxempart's 9 priority themes presented in the 2022 annual report. The campaign enabled us to collect an extensive set of ESG indicators for each of our portfolio companies, and to carry out an exhaustive mapping of sustainability parameters across our portfolio. Analysis of this data is still ongoing, but we can already see the first trends.
So far, we haven't observed any major sustainability risk across the portfolio, that is not known nor addressed at both portfolio company and Luxempart level. Some companies have more risky profiles than others, but in general we can conclude that their main ESG risks are properly mitigated.
Our portfolio companies are currently at different stages of ESG maturity. The ESG data collected will enable us to determine the ESG profile of each company, and to work with them to define their ambitions and objectives in terms of sustainability.
Next to individual areas of improvement for each company, we have observed that three transversal risk areas apply to several of our current portfolio companies:
We will put a special focus on those three areas during the second semester. Detailed conclusions of this in depth review will be presented in the Sustainability Report issued in our 2023 Annual Report.
The financial statements of Luxempart have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards at 30 June 2023.
| Main KPI (in M EUR) | 30/06/2023 | 31/12/2022 | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equity (group share) | 2,233 | 2,183 | 2.3% |
| Net result | 89 | 46 | 93% |
| Equity per share (EUR) | 110.67 | 108.28 | 2.2% |
As of June 30, 2023, our portfolio is broken down as follows:

Direct Investments Investment Funds Net cash and other assets & liabilities
• Kestrel Vision is a leader in designing inspection systems controlling rigid containers' production and filling (using machine vision), while providing complementary services to support clients (spare parts, upgrades/ refurbishment, software & data collecting…). Historically, the group has a strong expertise in glass packaging and has expanded to plastic and metal packaging through recent acquisitions. • The group operates mostly in the Food & beverage as well as in the Pharma end-markets where inspection on containers and filling is mandatory.
• Amount invested: EUR 112m
• Luxempart stake: 27.9%
In the course of the first semester 2023, we have decided to exit from several listed lines that were not core anymore in our Direct Investment's strategy.
Those exits are summarized in the table below:
| Company | Activity | Proceeds | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ascom Switzerland-listed leading global provider of critical information and communication solutions for healthcare institutions and enterprises with a strong presence in the USA and Western Europe |
EUR 13.1m Exit via the stock market | ||
| TCM Scandinavia's third largest kitchen manufacturer and joint number two in its home market, Denmark, selling to B2B and B2C customers through a network of branded independent franchise stores and dealers |
EUR 5.3m | Exit via participation in a share buy-pack program of the company and various block trades on the stock market. Total assignment for 14.57M (between April 2021 et February 2023) of which 5.33M during 1st semester 2023. |


Ascom and TCM were fully exited, generating €18.5m of proceeds in total, realising an overall IRR of -10.4% on Ascom and +6.5% on TCM.
In addition, we also partially exited from a roll over investment we have in Marlink, for an amount of EUR 4.4m.
Luxempart faces specific risks due to the nature of its activities. Each of its investments is exposed to particular risks, mainly due to the business, location, regulation, customer base, and strategic decisions. Luxempart implements governance rules and closely liaises with the management of the major portfolio investments to mitigate the risk factors.
A major risk of Luxempart on all levels of the Group is the market risk. All our assets are impacted by the evolution of financial markets and macroeconomic indicators (stock markets, comparable transactions of peer companies, valuation multiples, interest rates…).
The liquidity risk is limited for Luxempart, as the Company is not an investment fund submitted to exit constraints. Our Group is a patient investor who is not driven by the financial markets and their volatility cycles. Our investment teams and our Audit, Compliance, and Risk Committee closely follow the evaluation of the portfolio investments. Investment and divestment decisions depend more on specific company analysis than financial market or fund investment cycles.
The financial risks (market, interest rate, foreign exchange, credit and liquidity risk) are disclosed in the note 25 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2022. The Group management risk system is described in more detail in the same note. There has been no significant change in the financial risks of the Group since 31 December 2022.
As at 30 June 2023, Luxempart holds a total of 526,413 own shares which corresponds to 2.5% of the issued share capital for a book value of EUR 18.8m.
The Board of Directors' responsibilities are determined by law. In that regard, it is responsible for the true and fair preparation and presentation of the annual and half-year interim financial statements in accordance with European directives, as transposed into Luxembourg law. The Board of Directors considers that it has fully complied with these obligations.
Pursuant to the Law of 11 January 2008 regarding transparency obligations relating to information on issuers whose transferable securities are admitted for trading on a regulated market, we hereby declare that, to our knowledge, the interim financial statements prepared in accordance with the applicable body of accounting standards provide a true and fair view of the Group's assets and liabilities, financial position, and profits and losses, and that the consolidated management report accurately reflects the firm's development and results, and the Group's financial position.

To the Board of Directors of Luxempart S.A. 12, rue Léon Laval L-3372 Leudelange Luxembourg
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Luxempart S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity".
A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, 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 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.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 June 2023, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

Luxempart S.A. ("the Company" or "Luxempart") is an investment company whose registered office is located at 12, rue Léon Laval, L-3372 in Leudelange. The Company was founded on 25 April 1988, under the name BIL Participations. The General Meeting of the shareholders of 15 September 1992 decided to change the Company's name to Luxempart S.A. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the first 6 months ending on 30 June 2023 ("Interim financial statements") incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group"). The Company is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LU2605908552) and registered on the trade register under no. B27846.
Luxempart is primarily active in Belux, DACH Region, France and Italy. It actively manages a portfolio of listed and nonlisted companies, and investment funds.

The interim financial statements of Luxempart and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2023 have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. Since they are condensed financial statements, they do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last consolidated financial statements.
The majority of dividends from investments is received during the first half of 2023. The Group's other activities and results are not significantly seasonal or cyclical in nature.
In preparing these interim financial statements as an investment entity, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last consolidated annual financial statements.
The interim financial statements are presented in thousands of euros (€). The functional and presentational currency is the euro (€).
The principles, methods and assessment and consolidation techniques used in preparing these interim financial statements are identical to those used by the Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2022.
Accounting principles and policies are applied consistently and continuously within the Group.

On June 30, 2023, we agreed on the sale of 50% of our stake in Süss Microtec AG, for a cash amount of € 19.7 million. Given that the settlement date of this operation was July 4, 2023, we only booked the transaction, and the related cash proceeds in July 2023. Our full participation was still recognized under "Financial assets" on June 30, 2023.
On May 16, 2023, Octapharma AG, a company controlled by the main shareholder, launched a voluntary take-over bid on the shares of SNP Schneider Neureither & Partners SE, at a stock price of € 33.50/share. On July 18, we decided to contribute our shares to the tender, lacking a clear visibility on the company's strategy and governance. The proceeds from this operation amounted to € 25.5 million, resulting in a gain of € 4.9 million versus our NAV as of 31 December 2022 but a loss of € -16.1 million on the invested amount.
On August 11, 2023, Atenor convened its shareholders to an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on September 11, in order to (among others) resolve on a capital increase by contribution in cash with preferential subscription rights for the existing shareholders at an issue price that may not be inferior to € 10.23/share. On August 16, 2023, Atenor published its half-year financial report (up to June 30, 2023), showing a net loss of € 53.8 million, with additional losses foreseen at year-end. Following this publication the stock price of Atenor decreased significantly.
Our stake in Atenor represents EUR 21.5m in our NAV as at June 30, 2023, and is based on the Atenor stock price at that date, as prescribed by IFRS 13.
