SYDNEY (31 August 2018) - Pacific Current Group (ASX: PAC, “Pacific Current”) is pleased to report the Company’s full-year results for the period ended 30 June 2018. Building on the momentum from the prior year, PAC’s FY18 results reflect the progress made in its portfolio and in the management of PAC’s business.
OPERATIONAL RESULTS
PAC’s underlying profit after tax was A$17.8m for FY18, up 7.2% from FY17. Statutory profit after tax was A$93.2m compared to a loss of A$68.2m in FY17. Underlying profit before tax was A$18.6m for FY18, up 7.5% from FY17.
Contributions from boutiques declined during the year. This was primarily due to the loss of Investors Mutual Limited (IML) earnings after PAC sold its ownership in IML to Natixis. These proceeds earned bank deposit returns during most of FY18 and were not reinvested until early FY19. Underlying EPS declined from 53.3c to 37.4c during FY18, reflecting both the reduction in contributions from boutiques as well as a 53% increase in weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Results reflect GQG contributions only through 31 March 2018.
DIVIDEND
The Board has declared a A$0.22 fully-franked final dividend, which compares to A$0.18 in FY17.

PORTFOLIO COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS
Total funds under management (FUM) at 30 June 2018 was A$75.2bn, up 45% from the end of FY17, mainly due to strong inflows at GQG Partners (GQG) and Aperio Group (Aperio) and cooperative equity markets in the first half of the fiscal year.
Total funds under management represents the aggregate of all boutiques’ FUM as if each boutique was 100% owned by PAC and excludes boutiques sold during the year. Note that the relationship between FUM and the economic benefits received by PAC can vary dramatically based on each boutique’s fee levels, PAC’s ownership stakes, and the specific economic features of each relationship. Accordingly, management cautions against simple extrapolation based on FUM updates or trends.
The group’s overall growth in FUM was driven by GQG and Aperio. Since launching as a start-up in mid 2016, GQG has grown rapidly, reaching A$18.4bn at 30 June 2018, up 136% from the end of the previous year. Aperio has continued to grow steadily, with FUM growing 38% in the last year and nearly doubling since PAC initially invested in early 2016.
Global Small and Micro Cap manager, EAM Global Investors (EAM), with the assistance of PAC’s distribution efforts, grew substantially in FY18 and remains well positioned to continue its growth into FY19. Seizert Capital Partners (Seizert) experienced another flat year of FUM, while Aether Investment Partners’ (Aether) FUM increased modestly in advance of its efforts to raise its next closed-end fund.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
In October 2017, the Company sold its 40% interest in IML for approximately A$120m. IML was the initial investment for the Company, and its growth and success were important contributors to PAC’s early expansion.
Other developments throughout FY18 included PAC increasing its equity stake in EAM from 15% to 18.75% in February 2018 in order to facilitate management’s repurchase of equity from an outside shareholder. Around this time PAC ended its nine-year investment in Goodhart Partners (Goodhart), selling its interest to the firm’s founders and management team.
In April 2018, the Company redeployed a small portion of the IML proceeds into a new investment in Capital & Asset Management Group (CAMG), a recently launched private infrastructure firm based in London and Washington, DC. CAMG is led by CEO and CIO Andrew Charlesworth, who was previously portfolio manager at John Laing Infrastructure Fund. This investment is consistent with PAC’s stated goal of diversifying its portfolio into companies with revenue streams that are less sensitive to equity market fluctuations.
Following the end of FY18, PAC announced that it would be “putting” its residual 10% stake in RARE Infrastructure Limited (RARE). It expects the proceeds from this sale to be received by 30 September 2018.

In July 2018, the Company announced a new strategic investment in Victory Park Capital (Victory Park), a Chicago-based alternative investment firm focused on providing flexible private debt and equity solutions worldwide. PAC acquired a 24.9% stake in Victory Park for A$94.6 million (US$70 million). The investment was the largest-to-date in PAC’s history.
In early August 2018, PAC announced the pending sale of its 23.4% stake in Aperio to San Francisco-based Golden Gate Capital for approximately US$73m. PAC invested in Aperio in January 2016, paying a total of US$31.8m. Combined with distributions previously received from Aperio, PAC expects to receive a total of roughly 2.5 times its investment.
PAC management is optimistic about both the quality and quantity of opportunities under review and expects to redeploy capital into new investments during the first half of FY19. Investors should expect PAC to continue to invest across a broad size spectrum while also emphasizing investments that have both strong growth and diversification characteristics.
OUTLOOK
Pacific Current’s Chairman, Mr. Mike Fitzpatrick commented, “2018 saw the continued evolution of the portfolio. The sale of IML and pending sale of Aperio, whilst great businesses, crystallise significant returns for shareholders. The portfolio is performing exceptionally well, and the balance sheet is positioned for future growth. The team has reduced complexity in the structure and the company is ready for a new phase of growth.”
Pacific Current Managing Director & CEO and Global CIO, Mr. Paul Greenwood added, “FY18 was a very busy year for our business, and I feel great about how our team executed. The result was widespread growth across our portfolio, a more efficient operation, and significant portfolio modifications. We enter FY19 stronger financially and better prepared to exploit some of the exciting opportunities in front of us.”

Traditional Economics Economics to PAC are broadly correlated with their equity ownership in the funds Non-Traditional Economics Economics to PAC are leveraged to revenue and FUM growth of the funds.
-
❯ PAC earnings from Core Boutiques generally operate under traditional economics, with fees directly correlated to FUM.
-
Core Boutiques accounted for > 70% of boutique earnings in FY18; Aether and Seizert were the largest contributors contributing approximately equal proportions.
-
❯ PAC earnings from Growth Boutiques are often disproportionate to its shareholding, with potential for PAC to participate in fee revenues/earnings above the level of equity ownership.
