Net Asset Value

Pantheon Infrastructure PLC ("PINT" or the "Company"), the listed global infrastructure fund, announces that its Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 31 March 2023 was 99.2 pence per share.

Commentary

•     The Company's NAV total return in the quarter was 1.31%, with the NAV increasing by 0.3 pence per share in the quarter, after the payment of the 1.0 pence semi-annual interim dividend.

•     Underlying fair value movements on the investment portfolio contributed 1.8 pence per share during the period. Performance was driven by unrealized movements across eight of the Company's investments, which were largely in line with underwritten expectations. Three of the Company's eleven investments funded by the quarter end date (representing c.25% of NAV) continue to be valued at cost, in line with the underlying sponsor's valuation policy, given the recency of the investment.

•     There was a slight depreciation of both EUR and USD vs. GBP, which resulted in a negative FX valuation movement on the investment portfolio, equivalent to a decrease in NAV of 1.3 pence per share. This was partially offset by positive movements in the Company's NAV FX hedging instruments, contributing an increase in the NAV of 0.9 pence per share.

•     Other contributions to the movement in NAV included: deposit interest income receipts (0.2 pence per share) and operating costs (-0.4 pence per share).

•     As at 31 March 2023, the Company had an investment portfolio valued at £386.1 million, net working capital of £94.0 million and a derivative mark-to-market liability of £4.1 million. The Company had undrawn commitments of £14.8 million and its Revolving Credit Facility (£62.5 million as at 31 March 2023) was undrawn at the end of the quarter, and was expanded to £115 million post the period end.
