Rotterdam, the Netherlands – PB Holding N.V. ('PBH' or the 'Company') is a public company with limited liability (Naamloze Vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and with its corporate seat in Amsterdam. The Company is active in the holding and management of 515,000 certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V. PBH is listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange (Euronext Amsterdam) and has no other subsidiaries and/or business entities.
This report was approved by the Management Board on 15 July 2025. The financial statements are unaudited. The audited financial statements for the financial year 2024 are available on www.pb-holding.nl.
The income from equity interests is income, which consists of a revaluation to fair value and dividend received, which is directly related to the 5.35% interest held by PB Holding N.V. in Bovemij N.V. The income from equity interests in H1 2025 was nil (H1 2024: nil), as no revaluation of the interest in Bovemij N.V. occurred. In addition, no dividend was received from Bovemij in H1 2025 (H1 2024: nil).
Operating expenses in H1 2025 amounted to €273 thousand (2024: €121 thousand). Personnel expenses totaled €76 thousand (H1 2024: €44 thousand), and other operating expenses amounted to €197 thousand (H1 2024: €77 thousand). The increase of the personnel expenses is attributable to the termination of the management agreement with Mr. H.H. van der Kwast – please also refer to Note 5 'Personnel expenses'. The significant increase in other operating expenses compared to H1 2024 is primarily attributable to the public offer of Nafimij B.V. and other associated costs. The financial result before tax for H1 2025 was a loss of €275 thousand (H1 2024: €122 thousand). The net after-tax result was €275 thousand (H1 2024: €122 thousand).
The balance sheet as of 30 June 2025 shows shareholders' equity of €16,318 thousand (H1 2024: €16,593 thousand). The tax loss carryforward of €10.0 million has currently not been recognized as an asset. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €53 thousand (H1 2024: €48 thousand). PBH has a credit facility of €300 thousand with Handelsbanken, of which €208 thousand was drawn (H1 2024: nil). On 18 February 2025, the 575,000 held treasury shares were cancelled [ingetrokken]. Taking into account the cancelled treasury shares and the financial result for H1 2025, the book value per share ultimo H1 2025 is equal to €3.05 per share.
On 24 June 2024 BOVAG had informed Bovemij N.V. of its intention to sell a minority stake in Bovemij N.V. ("Project Vaals"). On 11 September 2024 and 31 March 2025, the BOVAG updated the holders of certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V. on its progress. On 25 June 2025, BOVAG informed PBH to have terminated Project Vaals, as none of the bids met the expectations and criteria of BOVAG. PBH is actively engaging with BOVAG, Bovemij and the Stichting Administratiekantoor Bovemij Verzekeringsgroep ("STAK"). In line with the strategy, the STAK and Mr. Admiraal agreed that Mr. Admiraal joins the board of the STAK.
In the 2024 annual report, PBH included a description of associated risks with its strategy and its implementation such as, but not limited to, risks associated to the holding of the certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V. and liquidity risks. In the Company's view, the nature of these risk factors has not materially changed during the first half of 2025 and anticipate these risks will continue to exist for the second half of 2025.
Due to the fact that a significant part of the Company's net income is determined by the result of Bovemij N.V., PBH does not express expectations with respect to net income or otherwise.

PB Holding N.V. ('PBH' or the 'Company') is a public company with limited liability (Naamloze Vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and with its corporate seat in Amsterdam. It is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 24064937. The address of the Company's registered office is Wilhelminakade 89 (3072 AP) Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Company is active in the holding and management of the 515,000 certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V. PBH is listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange (Euronext Amsterdam). The Company has no other subsidiaries and/or consolidates no other business entities.
These financial statements were approved by the Management Board on 15 July 2025. These financial statements are unaudited. The audited financial statements for the financial year 2024 are available on www.pb-holding.nl.
The financial statements of PBH have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The company financial statements and notes to the company financial statements are presented in thousands of euros unless otherwise stated and have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated. The company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the company financial statements are disclosed in the Notes to the Company Financial Statements.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
In the absence of an active and liquid financial market for the certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V., the certificates of shares have been valued by an external valuation expert of KPMG Corporate Finance & Valuation ('KPMG'), appointed by Bovemij N.V. The valuation is based on the unweighted average of two approaches: the Dividend Discount Model ('DDM') and a Comparable Company Analysis ('CCA'). Subsequently, KPMG applied a 20% discount to the valuation of the certificates due to the limited control associated with the minority shareholding of Bovemij N.V. certificate holders. The certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V. are thereby measured at fair value. The resulting changes in value, and received dividends, are recognized in the Company Statement of Income under 'Value Changes of Financial Fixed Assets'. The most recently available valuation report from KPMG, dated 1 March 2024, serves as the basis. The Company anticipates Bovemij N.V. to commission a new valuation later this financial year. The certificates of shares in the capital of Bovemij N.V. are classified as Level 3 financial instruments.
The results of Bovemij N.V. are publicly available at publicaties.bovemij.nl.
The Company has no other subsidiaries and/or consolidates no other business entities.
The preparation of interim reports requires judgments by the Management Board, which involves making estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the reported values of assets and liabilities, as well as the recognition of income and expenses. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. Interim results do not necessarily predict the results of the remainder of the year.
In preparing this Financial Report, the usual judgments applied by the Management Board in the implementation of PB Holding N.V. accounting policies, as well as the sources of estimation used, are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the 2024 annual report. Reference is also made to the notes in the Company's 2024 annual report, which provide further information on the Company's financial risk management. No significant changes have occurred during H1-2025.
Expenses related to the remuneration of the Management Board and Supervisory Board are included in the personnel expenses. PBH employs no other personnel (2023: 0). The costs associated with the termination of the management agreement with Mr. Van der Kwast are included in the 'Other personnel expenses' (H1-2024: nil).

Expenses related to IT, travel, office, and other general expenses are included in the segment 'Other operating expenses' and increased to €196 thousand (H1-2024: €77 thousand).
