Solid start to the year

CapMan Plc | 9 May 2025
• In March, CapMan Real Estate fund CapMan Hotels II closed the acquisition of Midstar Fastigheter AB's hotel portfolio, growing CapMan's assets under management by EUR 0.4 billion

CapMan has had an excellent start to the year. Fee income grew 8% and continued scale benefits supported a fee profit growth of 46%. At the end of March, we closed one of the largest transactions of its kind, as CapMan Hotels II fund acquired Midstar Fastigheter AB's hotel portfolio. The transaction doubled the size of the fund and grew CapMan's assets under management with EUR 400 million. CapMan's total assets under management at the end of the first quarter stood at EUR 6.4 billion, an increase of 6% from the beginning of the year.
In our Capital Markets Day on 11 March 2025, we re-iterated our growth objective to reach EUR 10 billion assets under management during the strategy period. With the structural moves we have completed, including the establishment of Natural Capital, strong organic growth of Infra and Real Estate, and divestment of service businesses, CapMan is positioned for profitable growth.
The increased geopolitical turmoil and tariffs have limited direct impact on CapMan's fee generating business, which is based on fee income from long-term predictable agreements. However, the increased uncertainty is likely to prolong fundraising processes.
Real Estate has completed several transactions with Nordic Real Estate III fund making two new investments and the Hotels II fund's transformative acquisition of Midstar Fastigheter. The Midstar portfolio consists of 28 hotel properties, making the fund a leading private Nordic hotel platform. The properties are located in major metropolitan areas such as Copenhagen, Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Oslo in addition to regional hotels in prime locations.
CapMan's DNA of active value creation is a strategic advantage especially in turbulent economic times. By working closely with our assets, we actively enhance value, adopt to changing external requirements and work to future-proof the assets. During the first quarter several refurbishment projects have been announced within Real Estate and for the Midstar portfolio, value creation work has already started, aiming to reduce operating expenses and emissions, and create positive social impact.
Within private equity we increased the share of portfolio companies with Science-Based Target emission reduction plans in place to 17%, as Hydroware and Netox had their targets validated.
CapMan Wealth's annual Investment Partners program held its final close for the fourth fund in March, at a record USD 120 million. Since the inception in 2021 the program has raised in total some USD 330 million.
Fundraising for the flagship funds Nordic Real Estate IV and European Forest Fund IV are ongoing, and both funds are seeking to significantly increase fund size compared to earlier vintages. Investor response to both funds is positive, but with the increased geopolitical uncertainty investors are postponing decision making, which pushes the target for first closes to the latter part of the year. Market turmoil also creates opportunities. CapMan has a strong balance sheet and strong solidity, and in addition to scaling existing products, we continue to explore growth by introducing new products, as well as, evaluating selected acquisitions.

At the beginning of the year the private market outlook was cautiously positive, with expectations for the transaction and fundraising market turning positive after three years of lower activity. Over the past month, the sentiment has changed with increased uncertainty from geopolitical turmoil, tariff regimes, and looming trade wars.
Short-term the increased uncertainty is slowing down decision making, with both transaction activity and fundraising environment thus likely to be more subdued than earlier expected.
Mid-term impacts on capital flows are less obvious and depend on how long the economic uncertainty prevails. Private markets offer an attractive portfolio diversification, with valuations based on fundamentals of the underlying assets creating more stable value development. The drawback is the low liquidity. Fast declining public markets can also skew the ratio between public and private allocations, restricting new commitments for some investors.
With the geopolitical turmoil investors are re-evaluating the geographical focus of their portfolios. The Nordics' stable political environment and track record of strong private asset returns, makes the region well positioned to continue to attract capital from European, North American and Asian institutional investors alike.
In the long-term, private asset markets are expected to continue solid growth. A challenging macroeconomic environment creates attractive investment opportunities, and historically the best fund vintages have been deployed in turbulent times. Looking back private markets have consistently outperformed the public markets in both bull and bear markets. With an increasing share of assets being developed longer in private ownership, and a growing amount of investors accessing private markets, the role of the asset class in the economy is posed to grow.
CapMan Real Estate has transformed KOY Mastolan Keskusvarasto in Vantaa, Finland, from a 100% logistics centre to a temperature- and humidity-controlled public-use asset. The property now serves a societally significant purpose, used mainly for research, conservation and storage by The Finnish Heritage Agency. The conversion project implemented EU Taxonomy aligned building practices, resulting in both improved sustainability and increased financial value. Energy costs were lowered by installing a194 kWp solar power system with an estimated annual production of 155,000 kWh representing 6–7% of the property's annual energy use and by improving energy efficiency. The energy efficiency rating was upgraded to class B and the property received BREEAM In-Use certification at level Excellent. The asset is owned by the Kokoelmakeskus Ky fund.
CapMan Natural Capital's Davvi Metsä Oy recently established over 160 hectares of new nature conservation areas in Finnish Lapland. This includes the 100-hectare Ruopsanaava area, accepted into the Helmi habitats programme aiming to strengthen Finland's biodiversity, led by the Ministry of the Environment. These conservation efforts are part of sustainable forest management, that combine sustainability and financial performance. The efforts improve biodiversity through prohibition of forestry activities and create social well-being by still allowing hiking and outdoor activities in the area. At the same time the conservation areas contribute to the FSC® criteria of Davvi Metsä Oy, ensuring demand and competitive prices for the timber. Davvi Metsä Oy is owned by Dasos Timberland Fund II SICAV SIF.

*In the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, CapMan classified CaPS business as a discontinued operation in the income statement and restated the comparison periods' figures accordingly.
CapMan Group's revenue totalled MEUR 13.0 in the period spanning 1 January–31 March 2025 (1 January–31 March 2024: MEUR 15.6), down 17% from the comparison period. While the Fee Income increased 8% year-on-year, no material Carried Interest was realised during the period.

• Other operating expenses MEUR 2.6 (MEUR 3.8).
Comparable operating expenses were 5% above the comparison period at MEUR 11.5 (MEUR 11.0).

The year-on-year decrease in the value of external fund investments is mainly due to a secondary transaction completed in December 2024. New external fund investments are currently not planned and thereby the share of external fund investments and their impact on Group level fair value changes will decrease over time.
Investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG). Investments in real estate and natural capital are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent external experts.

CapMan employed 198 people on average in the first quarter of 2025 (1 January–31 March 2024 average: 200), of whom 146 (149) worked in Finland and the remainder in the other Nordic countries, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. A breakdown of personnel by country is presented in the Tables section of this report.

CapMan's variable remuneration consists of short-term and long-term incentive schemes.
The short-term scheme covers all CapMan employees, excluding the CEO of the company, and its key objective is earnings development, for which the Board of Directors has set a minimum target.
In March 2025, CapMan Plc's Board of Directors resolved to establish a new long-term share-based incentive plan (Performance Share Plan 2025) for the CEO, Management Group and selected key employees. The aim of the plan is to align the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees and to retain the key employees at CapMan.
The long-term incentive plan consists of annually commencing individual three-year performance periods. During a performance period, the target group has an opportunity to earn CapMan shares based on achieving set performance targets. The target group, the maximum number of shares that can be allocated to the plan, and specific targets are decided upon annually by the Board of Directors for each performance period.
The prerequisite for receiving a reward from performance share plan is that a participant allocates newly acquired or previously owned CapMan shares to the Performance Share Plan and retains the investment during the performance period. The reward is paid after the end of the performance period subject to reaching the performance targets and continuous employment. As a rule, no reward will be paid if the participant's employment or service contract is terminated before reward payment. All reward shares are subject to a lock-up period of one year.
The first three-year performance period will commence on 1 April 2025 and end on 31 March 2028. The target group for the performance period includes all members of the Management Group, including the CEO, as well as other selected key employees. Altogether there are approximately 25 participants in the target group. The potential reward from the performance period is based on achieving performance targets that, in order of significance, are linked to total shareholder return, fee profit growth, sustainability, and on a participant's employment or service upon reward payment.
Further information related to CapMan's share-based incentive plans is available on the Company's website at https://capman.com/shareholders/share-shareholders/performance-share-plans/.
On 20 February 2025, CapMan announced that its Real Estate fund CapMan Hotels II has signed an agreement to acquire Midstar Fastigheter AB, a well-established Nordic hotel real estate portfolio, encompassing 28 assets in the Nordics.

The acquisition grows CapMan's assets under management by EUR 0.4 billion and significantly supports CapMan's objective to increase assets under management to EUR 10 billion during the ongoing strategy period. The transaction was closed on 31 March 2025.
On 11 March 2025, CapMan held a Capital Markets Day for investors and analysts in Helsinki. During the event, CapMan's management provided insight about the company's strategy and operating environment, as well as presented the company's financial development. CapMan continues on the path to doubling the assets under management to EUR 10 billion during year 2027, which is the strategic objective that was set in 2022. CapMan is committed to reaching this objective by scaling real asset investment strategies, launching new products and with targeted acquisitions.
On 25 March 2025, CapMan announced that it changes its financial reporting structure to reflect its current operations. Segment reporting is discontinued, and the financial performance of CapMan's

current operations is reported under the Group Income Statement. For more information, refer to the Note "Accounting principles" in the tables section of this report.
On 25 March 2025, CapMan Plc's Board of Directors resolved to establish a new long-term share-based incentive plan (Performance Share Plan 2025) for the CEO, Management Group and selected key employees. More information on the resolution is available in the Remuneration and incentives section of this report.
On 4 April 2025, CapMan announced that CapMan Wealth's annual programme had raised USD 120 million of new capital. CW Investment Partners Fund IV (non-UCITS) is part of the annual CapMan Wealth Investment Partners programme that invests in sought after US mid-market buyout funds alongside AlpInvest, a leading global private equity asset manager.
On 5 May 2025, CapMan announced that Jyri Hietala has been appointed as Managing Partner at CapMan Natural Capital and member of CapMan's Management Group. The appointment is part of a planned transition as current Managing Partner Olli Haltia steps into a Senior Advisor role. Jyri will start in his position at the latest in October 2025.
CapMan faces many different risks and uncertainties which, if realised, could affect its strategic direction, financial position, earnings, operations and reputation. Assessment and management of risks is an integral part of CapMan's ability to conduct its operations in a successful manner. CapMan classifies risks according to various categories and identifies principal risks for each category. CapMan performs an annual review of the risk environment at the end of the financial year and reports on any material developments quarterly. An annual risk assessment and risk descriptions is presented on the website under https://capman.com/shareholders/risks/. A summary of risks and observed changes in the short-term risk environment are presented in Table 9.
| Risk classification | Principal risks | Changes in the short-term risk environment |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Strategic risks | • Failure to achieve strategic or performance targets • Failure to select the correct strategy in a competitive environment • Failure to recruit and retain key personnel • Failure to scale the business |
• No changes |
| 2. Financial risk | • Poor financial performance • Insufficient liquidity position • Failure to obtain financing |
• No changes |
| 3. Market risks | • Interest and foreign exchange rate, inflation and asset valuation volatility • Changes in customer preferences • Fluctuations of the transaction market • Failure in fundraising |
• A potential widespread and prolonged global trade war increases general uncertainty and may negatively affect fundraising, fair values, and exit opportunities |
| 4. Operational risks | • Cyber threats and system errors • Inadequate or failed processes or controls • Corruption, fraud or criminal behaviour • Mistakes |
• No changes |
| Table 9: Risk classification, principal risks and short-term changes | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -- | -- | -- |

| 5. Regulatory risks | • Adverse changes in the regulatory environment |
• Potential EU level deregulation may reduce administrative burden and risk of non compliance |
|---|---|---|
| 6. Sustainability risks | • Failure to invest in sustainable assets and ESG related incidents or lack of appropriate ESG approach in portfolio companies • Unreasonable increase in costs to comply with sustainability and reporting requirements |
• No changes |
| 7. Reputational risk | • Negative public perception | • No changes |
CapMan's distribution policy is to pay sustainable distributions that grow over time. CapMan's objective is to distribute at least 70% of the Group's profit attributable to equity holders of the company excluding the impact of fair value changes, subject to the distributable funds of the parent company. In addition, CapMan may pay out distributions accrued from investment operations, taking into consideration foreseen cash requirements for future investments.
The revenue growth target excluding carried interest income is more than 15% p.a. on average. The target for return on equity is more than 20% and for equity ratio more than 50%.
CapMan expects to achieve these financial targets gradually and key figures are expected to show fluctuations on an annual basis considering the nature of the business.
CapMan's objective is to improve results in the long term, taking into consideration annual fluctuations related to the nature of the business. Carried interest income from funds managed by CapMan and the return on CapMan's investments have a substantial impact on CapMan's overall result. In addition to asset-specific development and exits from assets, various factors outside of the portfolio's and CapMan's control influence fair value development of CapMan's overall investments, as well as the magnitude and timing of carried interest. For these reasons, CapMan does not provide numeric estimates for 2025.
CapMan estimates assets under management to grow in 2025. The company estimates fee profit also to grow in 2025. These estimations do not include possible items affecting comparability.

This unaudited interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the previous annual financial statements, except for segment information. Due to divestments of the service businesses in 2023-24, CapMan no longer has service businesses. Also, the income impact from CapMan's balance sheet investments materially equals fair value changes that are reported separately in the Group Income Statement. As a result of the aforementioned structural changes in the business, the overall reporting framework and accounting policies have been reassessed. As of January 1, 2025, CapMan Plc's Board of Directors, which is responsible for resource allocations and taking strategic decisions, is determined as the chief operating decision maker under IFRS 8. As Board of Directors evaluates CapMan's financial performance based on the Group Income Statement, CapMan has decided to discontinue segment reporting.
Figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.
CapMan uses alternative performance measures to denote the financial performance of its business and to improve the comparability between different periods. Alternative performance measures do not replace performance measures in accordance with the IFRS and are reported in addition to such measures. Alternative performance measures, as such are presented, are derived from performance measures as reported in accordance with the IFRS by adding or deducting the items affecting comparability and they will be nominated as 'comparable'. Such alternative performance measures are, for example, comparable operating profit, comparable profit for the period, and comparable earnings per share. In addition, CapMan discloses alternative performance measures that have been derived from the beforementioned comparable performance measures by further adding or deducting some income statement items that have been adjusted to exclude possible items impacting comparability. This kind of alternative performance measure is fee profit, which is comparable operating profit or loss deducted with carried interest and fair value changes of investments. As a new alternative performance measure, fee profit before group costs is disclosed, which is fee profit before costs related to CapMan's status as a stock-listed entity.
Items affecting comparability are, among others, material items related to mergers and acquisitions, such as amortisation and impairment of intangible assets recognised in the purchase price allocation, or costs related to major development projects, such as reorganisation costs. Items impacting comparability include also material gains or losses related to the acquisition or disposals of business units, material gains or losses related to the acquisition or disposal of intangible assets, material expenses related to decisions by authorities and material gains or losses related to reassessment of potential repayment risk to the funds.
Items impacting comparability and alternative performance measures with reconciliations are presented under the section "Revenue, items impacting comparability and alternative performance measures".

In the reporting period, there were no acquisitions or disposals. The acquisition made in the comparison period has an impact on the comparability of figures. The disposal made in the comparison period is accounted for as a discontinued operation.
On 1 March 2024, CapMan completed the acquisition of all the shares of Dasos Capital Oy. As of the acquisition date, Dasos Capital has been consolidated into CapMan's consolidated financial statements in full. The purchase price was paid by executing a directed issue of 17,672,761 new CapMan shares to the owners of Dasos Capital Oy, representing approximately 10.0% ownership in CapMan, and by a cash consideration of EUR 3.0 million. Fair value of the issued shares amounted to EUR 34.4 million. In addition, CapMan has committed to paying an additional earn-out consideration of a maximum EUR 5 million based on management fee turnover incurred in 2025 and 2026, payable when the management fees of the funds managed by Dasos exceed certain limits. The additional consideration will be paid later in 2026 and 2027 in CapMan's shares.
Dasos Capital Oy is a leading timberland and natural capital investment asset manager in Europe and a significant player globally. Dasos focuses on managing sustainable timberland investments, natural sites and forest carbon sinks, as well as developing value in Europe and emerging markets. The investors in the funds managed by Dasos are domestic and foreign institutions, mainly pension and insurance companies. The acquisition supports CapMan's vision of becoming the most responsible private asset company in the Nordics and significantly promotes CapMan's strategic objective to increase assets under management to EUR 10 billion during the ongoing strategy period.
The goodwill arising from the acquisition was EUR 22.2 million and was mainly attributable to Dasos' professional workforce, future customers and products, CapMan's cross-selling opportunities, and synergies. Dasos Capital forms CapMan's new investment area Natural Capital.
On October 31, 2024, CapMan Plc sold its ownership (92.7%) in subsidiary CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS) Ltd ("CaPS") to Proxer Bidco Oy together with subsidiary's non-controlling interest (7.3%). Debt free purchase price was EUR 70 million, of which CapMan's share is EUR 64.9 million, and in addition, CapMan is entitled to a maximum of EUR 4.6 million earn-out consideration, subject to CaPS reaching certain operating targets during 2025.
CapMan classified CaPS business as a discontinued operation in the income statement and restated the comparison periods' income statement accordingly.

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 primarily based on the valuations by the respective fund managers. No separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan for these investments. However, CapMan evaluates the significant investments individually and makes adjustments to them if necessary. Separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan for these adjustments.
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 valuations are based on euro. If portfolio company's reporting currency is other than euro, P&L items used in the basis of valuation are converted applying the average foreign exchange rate for corresponding year and the balance sheet items are converted applying the rate at the time of reporting. Changes in the foreign exchange rates, in CapMan's estimate, have no significant direct impact on the fair values calculated by peer group multiples during the reporting period.
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 nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and the financial situation 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 available market price for actively traded (quoted) investments, earnings multiple valuation technique, whereby public peer group multiples are used to estimate the value of a particular investment, and the Discounted Cash Flows method, whereby estimated future cash flows and the terminal value are discounted to the present by applying the appropriate risk-adjusted rate. CapMan always applies a discount to peer group multiples, due to e.g. limited liquidity of the investments. Due to the qualitative nature of the valuation methodologies, the fair values are to a considerable degree based on CapMan's judgment.
The Group has a Risk and Valuation 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 Risk and Valuation team is responsible for reviewing the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals are examined by the Risk and Valuation team and subsequently reviewed and decided by the Valuation Committee, which comprises at least Valuation Controller, Risk Manager and at least one CapMan AIF Manager's Board of
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 investments in natural capital funds that CapMan manages are valued based on appraisals made in cooperation with independent appraisers with specific experience in the valuation of investments in timberland assets. The main forest valuation approaches include income approach where the value is the net present value of expected cash flows discounted at a current market rate, cost approach where the value is based on historical investment cost of the forest asset (land cost, planting and management cost etc.) and market approach where the value is based on the transaction values of comparable forest assets.
Valuations based on appraisals by Independent external experts are updated annually for closed-end funds and quarterly for open-ended funds.

Carried inrerest income is accrued on an irregular schedule depending on the timing of exits. An exit may have an appreciable impact on the Group's result for the full financial year.
