GBL continued to pursue the simplification of its portfolio, with plans to dispose the majority of assets at GBL Capital and Sienna Investment Managers.
These developments are in line with GBL's strategic priorities of: (i) portfolio simplification,
GBL communicated on November 3, 2025 that it had launched the sale of a significant portion of assets from GBL Capital, the group's indirect private asset activity.
This activity had a net asset value ("NAV") of €2.8bn at the end of Q1 2025, which was used as a reference for the sale process. Through a dozen transactions, including a large portfolio divestment to Carlyle AlpInvest, GBL has agreed to divest €1.7bn of NAV, generating total cash proceeds of €1.5bn (implied 9%1 blended discount on all transactions). The divestments also involve the transfer of €0.6bn in unfunded commitments.
All transactions are expected to close by Q4 2025 / Q1 2026, with a €0.4bn deferred payment to be received 12 months post-closing. Closing is subject to customary conditions for transactions of this type.
GBL Capital will no longer be making new commitments.
GBL announced on October 2, 2025, that it had entered into exclusive negotiations with Malakoff Humanis to sell its stakes in activities within Sienna Investment Managers, GBL's third-party asset management business. These include the listed asset and private debt operations (Sienna Gestion and Sienna Private Credit, respectively).
Since GBL's entry in Affidea in 2022, the company has created significant value organically and through accretive investments. As there is further room for substantial growth and value creation, GBL made a €150m equity injection in October 2025.
Between October 1 and October 31, 2025, GBL acquired 0.3m shares, accounting for 0.22% of the shares representing the capital and valued at €22.7m on October 31, 2025. On this date, 14.6% of the eighth share buyback envelope had been executed.

Delivering Meaningful
Growth
As at September 30, 2025, GBL's NAV totaled €14.0bn. Within the portfolio, listed assets accounted for 54%, while direct private assets and indirect private assets (GBL Capital) represented 29% and 17%, respectively.
Listed assets include stakes in SGS, Pernod Ricard, adidas and Imerys, among others.
NAV of Listed assets 9/30/2025

The NAV of the listed assets as at September 30, 2025 stood at €7.1bn, compared to €9.1bn as at December 31, 2024. This evolution was significantly impacted by a reduction in the group's stake in SGS, representing €772m. In addition, a volatile market environment was a significant factor behind the change in fair value, with, in particular, an impact on certain consumer names, such as Pernod Ricard and adidas. Despite this difficult context, Umicore delivered a particularly strong share price performance.


Direct private assets include controlling stakes in Affidea, Sanoptis and Canyon (fully consolidated assets) as well as minority stakes in Voodoo and Parques Reunidos (non-consolidated assets or assets accounted for using the equity method). Given the attractive long-term potential of direct private assets, GBL's ambition is to increase the weight of this asset category within the group's portfolio.
NAV of Direct private assets 9/30/2025

As at end September 2025, the NAV stood at €3.9bn, an increase of + €602m compared to year-end 2024. This increase predominately reflects value creation of + €584m, driven by the healthcare platforms Affidea and Sanoptis. Such value creation reinforces the group's strategic ambition to upweight direct private assets within its portfolio.


GBL Capital, established in 2013, is the group's indirect private asset activity that invests in funds and co-investments. On November 3, 2025, GBL announced that it had launched a sale of a significant portion of these assets and that it would no longer be making new commitments.
NAV of GBL Capital 9/30/2025

GBL Capital's NAV stood at €2.2bn at the end of September 2025, compared to €2.7bn at the end of December 2024. The principal contributions to the decrease in NAV were distributions and the change in fair value.

Net asset value per share amounted to €104.83 as at September 30, 2025 compared to €113.30 as at December 31, 2024.
Net divestments totalled €(747)m, with the majority reflecting divestments of SGS shares for €(772)m. These disposals crystallized €164m of gains4 and are aligned with GBL's strategic trajectory as communicated at the group's mid-term Strategic Update on November 7, 2024. Subject to market conditions, GBL intends to execute €5bn of disposals from 2024 through 2027, to be redeployed into new assets and returns to shareholders. Net investments/(divestments) also include €319m of investments, primarily comprising share buybacks of €259m.
GBL held net debt of €(248)m on September 30, 2025, compared to net debt of €(460)m on December 31, 2024.
Cash earnings were stable, amounting to €311m as at September 30, 2025 compared to €315m as at September 30, 2024.
The consolidated net result as at September 30, 2025 amounts to €(209)m compared to €55m as at September 30, 2024. This variation is mainly explained by GBL Capital's contribution of €(303)m impacted by the mark-to-market at the estimated transaction value of the assets sold / held for sale and the foreign exchange evolution.

The healthcare assets, which account for 78% of the NAV of the direct private assets, continued their strong momentum throughout the period. As for Canyon, the commercial performance of several bike segments remained robust. However, one-off issues on certain models and a generally challenging environment for the bicycle sector impacted the financial results. To mitigate the impact, Canyon is pursuing several initiatives to enhance performance.
Accretive M&A, operating leverage and margin initiatives drove EBITDA growth of + 39%.
