Net asset value

The net asset value on March 31, 2026, based on the market value of the ownership interests in quoted companies and the liquid portfolio and on the book value of the unquoted companies, amounted to € 17,604 million (€ 194.97 per share), representing an increase of € 1,186 million (€ 13.13 per share) compared to December 31, 2025.

Unquoted companies

Revenues from the unquoted companies for the first quarter of 2026 amounted to € 2,127 million (2025: € 2,291 million), representing a decrease of € 164 million (7.2%). Excluding the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and at constant currency exchange rates, revenues for the first quarter decreased by 4.1%. The decrease in the net asset value of the unquoted companies mainly reflects dividend distributions to HAL, which increased the liquid portfolio, partly offset by earnings generated by the unquoted companies.

Quoted interests

At the end of March, the stock market value of HAL’s interests in quoted interests (Safilo Group S.p.A., SBM Offshore N.V., Siltronic AG, Technip Energies N.V., TKH Group N.V. and Koninklijke Vopak N.V.) amounted to € 6.3 billion compared with € 5.1 billion at the end of 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to the increases in the share prices of Vopak, SBM Offshore and Technip Energies.

Liquid portfolio

As of March 31, 2026, the liquid portfolio amounted to € 2.8 billion compared to € 2.5 billion as of December 31, 2025. The liquid portfolio consisted of 98% fixed-income instruments and 2% equities. The liquid portfolio provided a return of 0.8% over the first quarter (2025: 0.7%).

The liquid portfolio excludes the investment in TKH Group N.V. As of March 31, 2026, HAL had a 10.2% interest in this company with a value of € 159 million (December 31, 2025, 9.9% with a value of € 154 million).

Divestments

In May, HAL signed an agreement to sell its ownership interest in RyK Holding S.p.A. ('Rotter y Krauss') to Inversiones SB S.A. ('Empresas SB'). Rotter y Krauss is an optical retail chain active in the Chilean market since 1914. The transaction is expected to result in a book profit of approximately € 26 million. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary approvals from the relevant authorities.

In March, HAL signed an agreement to sell its ownership interest in Atlas Professionals B.V. ('Atlas NextWave') to GCF IV Bidco 19 B.V. ('Avedon Capital Partners'). The transaction will result in a book profit of approximately € 60 million and is expected to be completed in May 2026.

Prospects

Because a significant part of the Company's net income is determined by the results of the quoted companies and in view of the broad composition of the investment portfolio as well as potential capital gains and losses, we generally do not express expectations with respect to net income.
