"Antin delivered strong financial results in 2023, with significant growth across all financial metrics, including considerably higher EBITDA and net income. This is entirely driven by increased management fees that are long-term contracted, while the potential for future performance fee revenues remains substantial.
In a challenging market for fundraising, we already secured 90% of Fund V's target, raising significant commitments from existing investors and record commitments from new investors. We also closed NextGen Fund I at its target. Meanwhile, our portfolio companies continued to deliver growth and robust margin improvements, resulting in resilient fund valuations.
Most important, we believe the medium-term prospects for infrastructure and for Antin are better than ever, with supportive megatrends such as the energy transition and the digitalisation of infrastructure providing substantial growth opportunities."
• All funds continued to perform either on plan or above plan, supported by continued growth and robust margin evolution across the portfolio, demonstrating the strength of Antin's riskreward investment framework and the resilience of the portfolio companies held by the Antin Funds
• Flagship Funds II and III are ahead of plan with Gross Multiples of 2.6x and 1.8x respectively. Flagship Fund IV and Fund III‑B are early in their post-investment periods and performing on plan with Gross Multiples of 1.3x and 1.6x. Mid Cap Fund I, NextGen Fund I and Flagship Fund V are in the investment period. They continue to deploy capital and build their respective portfolios, with Gross Multiples of 1.2x, 1.0x and 1.1x respectively
• Underlying EBITDA reached €175.5m in 2023, up +48.2%, significantly above the revenue growth of +32.1%. It benefited from operating leverage, resulting in a larger increase in

revenues than in operating expenses, following the hiring of employees and investments in the build-out of the operating platform in prior years. Underlying EBITDA margin stood at 62%, up 7 percentage points compared to 2022. The growth in underlying EBITDA and the margin expansion demonstrate the scalability of Antin's business model and are the result of operating leverage embedded in our business model
• Acquisition of Excellence Imagerie. Antin announced on 22 January 2024 the investment in Excellence Imagerie, a leading medical imaging group in France, marking the sixth investment for Mid Cap Fund I
