VEF interim report third quarter 2025
22 oktober, 08:00
Key events during the quarter
- In 3Q25 our NAV was up 8% QoQ, to USD 405.7 mln. The positive NAV movement reflects a blend of portfolio performance and supportive market comps and FX. Konfío (+ USD 28.6 mln/39% QoQ) was a key contributor, as we moved from last transaction to mark to model, unlocking 12 months+ of value accretion.
- Creditas released its 2Q25 results showing continued growth momentum, as its portfolio grew +14% YoY (up from +11% YoY in 1Q25) while posting record quarterly revenues of BRL 583 mln (+18% YoY and +6% QoQ). We expect the improving trend to continue and be evident with its 3Q25 filing.
- Creditas announced they are planning a new equity fund raise, targeting USD 100 mln minimum. Indicative valuation for the round was communicated at approximately USD 3.3 bln. As per our related press release: we clearly welcome any fundraising that strengthens Creditas’ capital position. Only once any fundraising has been completed, will VEF be in a position to assess the full implication on our NAV.
Net asset value
- In USD, NAV equals 405.7 mln (YE24: 353.0), +8% QoQ and +15% YTD. NAV per share is USD 0.40 (YE24: 0.34), +9% QoQ and +18% YTD.
- In SEK, NAV equals 3,817 mln (YE24: 3,882), +7% QoQ and -2% YTD. NAV per share is SEK 3.75 (YE24: 3.73), +8% QoQ and +1% YTD.
- Cash position, including liquidity investments, was USD 17.6 mln (YE24: 12.8) at the end of 9M25.
Financial result
- Net result for 3Q25 was USD 32.2 mln (3Q24: 38.2).
- Net result for 9M25 was USD 57.5 mln (9M24: 32.3).
VEF CEO, Dave Nangle, comments:
"Our experience tells us we are on an early upswing. Each quarter brings with it fresh proof points: improving portfolio performance, delivery on exits, balance sheet strengthening, a more focused quality pipeline. This quarter, we again, see our NAV per share moving higher, while we maintain a clear goal of continuing the process of reducing our traded discount to NAV.”
