About Georgia Capital PLC
Georgia Capital PLC (LSE: CGEO LN) is a platform for buying, building and developing businesses in Georgia (together with its subsidiaries, "Georgia Capital" or "the Group"). The Group's primary business is to develop or buy businesses, help them institutionalize their management and grow them into mature businesses that can further develop largely on their own, either with continued oversight or independently. The Group's focus is typically on smaller or early stage businesses in sectors capable of rapid development and consolidation, while also considering more developed sectors, where a strong market position can be achieved through an acquisition or larger greenfield project. Once Georgia Capital has successfully developed a business, the Group actively manages its portfolio to determine each company's optimal owner. Georgia Capital will normally seek to monetise its investment either through initial public offering, trade sale, fund structure or promoting interest over a 5-10 year period from initial investment.
Georgia Capital currently has nine private businesses: (i) a water utility business (GGU); (ii) a renewable energy business (hydro and wind assets held through GRPC, Hydrolea and Qartli wind farm); (iii) a housing development business (m2, renamed as Georgia Real Estate); (iv) a hospitality and commercial real estate business (m2, renamed as Georgia Real Estate); (v) a property and casualty insurance business (Aldagi); (vi) a beverages business (Georgia Beverages); (vii) an education business (three partners: BGA, Buckswood and Green school); (viii) an auto service business (Greenway and Amboli) and (ix) a digital services business (Redberry). We also have two public company holdings (London Stock Exchange premium-listed Georgian companies): (i) Georgia Healthcare Group PLC ("GHG"), (70.6% equity stake), a UK incorporated holding company of the largest healthcare services provider in Georgia, which is also the largest pharmaceuticals retailer and wholesaler in the country; and (ii) Bank of Georgia Group PLC ("BoG"), (19.9% equity stake), a leading universal bank in Georgia.
Georgia Capital aspires to deliver total shareholder returns of 10-times over 10-years[1]

CHAIRMAN AND CEO'S STATEMENT
2019 was a significant year of capital allocations and progress for Georgia Capital. We successfully converted active pipeline deals into 11 acquisitions, while our total portfolio value increased to GEL 2.3 billion. Our NAV per share (GEL) increased 5.7% in 2019 on the back of strong value creation across our private portfolio companies and disciplined share buybacks. NAV per share allocated to private businesses grew by 20.9%, translating into the weighted growth of 10.1% (48% share in total portfolio value). NAV per share allocated to listed businesses decreased by 8.4%, translating into the weighted decrease of 4.4% (52% share in total portfolio value).
In terms of what we track as value creation, our private portfolio businesses generated GEL 168 million value (18.6% growth in value during 2019), which was partially offset by a GEL 34 million decrease in the market value of our listed assets (-3.5% decrease in value during 2019) on the back of the lower GHG share price. We increased our stake in GHG from 57% to 70.6% on 18 December 2019 following the completion of a share exchange facility, whereby GCAP issued 3.4 million new shares in exchange for a 13.6% equity stake in GHG. The number of outstanding shares decreased by 1.7% in 2019, driven by our share buyback programme together with buybacks for the management trust and the subsequent cancellation of 2.7 million Georgia Capital PLC (CGEO) shares.
During 2019, dividend inflows from our portfolio businesses increased 69% y-o-y to GEL 122 million, which was supported by strong cash flow generation at late stage portfolio companies. Consolidated IFRS cash flow from operating activities, excluding IFRS 16 impact, was up 39.8% y-o-y in 2019. GCAP's stand-alone FY19 cash inflow of GEL 113 million was supported by GEL 40 million interest income, while management expenses were contained at below our targeted 2% level. Our resources available for deployment remained high at GEL 364 million at 31 December 2019.
Listed businesses
A significant increase in the BoG share price provided GEL 165 million value creation to Georgia Capital during 2019 on the back of more than 20% loan portfolio growth supported by a 26% return on equity and increased dividend payments. However, the GHG share price decreased by 40% during the year despite strong underlying business fundamentals. Following the completion of its 3-year investment programme in 2018, the continued double-digit growth in EBITDA and operating cash flow enabled GHG to generate significant amounts of free cash flow totaling GEL 77 million in 2019, up from GEL 14 million in 2018.
Private businesses
Our private businesses delivered a healthy GEL 168 million value creation in 2019 driven by continued growth in operating performance, the first-time valuation of greenfield projects and enhancement of valuation multiples. I am pleased to report that the value creation, excluding multiple changes, was GEL 145 million across our private portfolio companies.
Across our late stage portfolio, Water Utility led the value creation with a GEL 75 million contribution on the back of a 123% y-o-y increase in electricity sales revenues and continued efficiency improvements. I was delighted to see a 21% growth in operating cash flow, while following the fulfillment of all conditions under original privatization agreement, Water Utility's capex spending continued to decrease. We also saw significant value creation of GEL 46 million in our P&C insurance business, with stable operating performance together with multiple enhancement driving the result. Following the receipt of the construction permit for its largest ever residential project, Digomi, and together with the strong project pipeline, increased expected cash inflows in the housing development business led to GEL 36 million value creation. As a result, our late stage businesses generated GEL 157 million value for the Group.
2019 was busy within our early stage portfolio, with the businesses progressing well towards their established goals. Renewable Energy commissioned its first 50MW Mestiachala hydro power plants in June and successfully acquired 100% stakes in high quality wind and hydro assets during 4Q19, thereby reaching 91MW installed capacity. 50MW Mestiachala HPPs were damaged during a flooding event in July, however, the business successfully resumed operations of 30MW HPP at the originally planned generation level in December 2019. Based on the updated schedule, the 20MW HPP is expected to return online by the end of 1H21. The insurance company has already confirmed the amount of business interruption reimbursement for the year 2019 for both HPPs and is in process of remitting the funds to the business. The hospitality and commercial real estate business created GEL 10 million value for the Group on the back of revaluation of commercial assets and hotels. The business progressed in line with its strategy to develop more than 1,000 hotel rooms: our 121-room Gudauri Lodge Hotel, the first in-house branded hotel located in a leading ski resort in the Caucasus region, was opened in December 2019. The beer business reached a significant milestone and successfully launched five new brands, including locally brewed Amstel and Heineken. 2H19 beer EBITDA was at break-even level following a successful turnaround. The bolt-on acquisition of Alaverdi winery tripled the existing wine production capacity at our wine business and added 244 hectares of vineyards.
Within the pipeline portfolio, we launched the periodic vehicle inspection (PTI) business in March 2019, which led to GEL 17 million in value creation in 2019 supported by the business' stable operating performance. The PTI business generated GEL 2.9 million operating cash flow and GEL 3.3 million EBITDA during the year, capturing 36% of total market share.
Capital allocations
We invested GEL 358 million in existing and new portfolio businesses in 2019, of which GEL 113 million was for the non-cash acquisition of the 13.6% stake in GHG, GEL 68 million was used for bolt-on acquisitions, GEL 68 million was invested in pipeline businesses across Education, Auto Service and Digital Services, GEL 57 million was for development of pipeline hotels, renewable energy projects and the beer business, GEL 49 million for commercial real estate space valued at c. 10% yield (in US$ terms) was allocated to the commercial real estate business and GEL 2 million was allocated to the evaluation of new investment opportunities. Since 31 December 2019 we allocated a further GEL 38.7 million (US$ 13.8 million) capital for the buyout of the 34.4% minority shareholder in Renewable Energy. The buyout allows us to become a 100% owner of the existing and pipeline high quality wind and hydro assets with strong dollar-linked cash flows.
In line with our 360-degree investment analysis, we spent GEL 125 million on share buybacks in 2019. Following the completion of the US$ 45 million share buyback programme, we cancelled 2.7 million shares and transferred 0.7 million shares to the management trust. Additionally, the management trust also spent US$ 17 million on its share purchase programme during 2019.
We allocated GEL 10 million to the auto service business in 2019, where we acquired an 80% equity stake in the second largest auto service industry player, Amboli, for GEL 3.4 million. We target to be present throughout the full ecosystem of the auto services industry, a currently very fragmented GEL 2.8 billion market dominated by a single player.
We entered the high growth digital services business in 2019 by allocating GEL 9 million capital to acquire a 60% equity stake in Redberry, our platform for making small bets in digital businesses.
We allocated GEL 49 million to the high-margin, large and growing, but fragmented private school education market, where we secured three high quality partnerships with excellent management teams across premium, mid-level and affordable private schools. Through these carefully selected partnerships, we now have a clear pathway to approximately 11,000 learners and to more than 50% of our targeted GEL 70 million EBITDA by 2025.
Macroeconomic environment
The Georgian economy remained robust. Estimated GDP growth was 5.2% in 2019, up from 4.8% in 2018. As net exports continued to improve, the current account (CA) deficit shrank significantly to 2.7% of GDP in 9M19, a major improvement compared to 6.1% in 9M18. Based on National Bank's preliminary estimates the CA deficit is expected to be reported at a record low 4.4% in 2019, down from the 2016 highs of 12.5%. Tourism inflows showed resilience despite the air travel ban imposed by Russia, as we had 5.4% growth in 4Q19, while 2019 tourism revenues were up by 1.4% y-o-y. Average inflation was above the targeted level in 2019 leading the NBG to tighten its monetary policy by 250 bps to 9.0%. Georgia's strong progress was acknowledged by rating agencies as both Fitch and S&P upgraded ratings of Georgian sovereign bonds from BB- to BB with stable outlooks in 2019.
Outlook
The Georgian economy is expected to continue its strong growth in 2020 and beyond, supporting our business model and growth for the years to come. Our investments across early stage and pipeline portfolios are expected to start bearing fruit as we complete construction of pipeline hotels, hydro power plants and wind power plants, accelerate the accessing of international markets by our wine business, and scale up and expand our recently acquired top class private schools.
From management development perspective, I am delighted to announce that on 21 February 2020 we have promoted Ia Gabunia to a newly created role of Chief Exit Strategy Officer at Georgia Capital. Ia will become the member of the top management team and will oversee the establishment of institutionilised exit processes from our portfolio companies, as starting from 2020 we intend to engage in active price discovery of assets held.
Over the last few quarters we have laid strong foundations for significant value creation across all our private businesses, which together with continued strong cash flow generation across our late stage businesses, are expected to drive NAV per share growth.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Management Accounts
Under an exception to the usual principles of IFRS 10 that require consolidation of subsidiaries, entities that meet the definition of an "investment entity" instead measure their investments in their subsidiaries at fair value. Georgia Capital meets investment entity definition under IFRS from 31 December 2019 and, as a result, the accounting basis was changed from consolidation to fair value measurement effective on that date. Georgia Capital recorded a gain from the change to investment entity status of GEL 589 million in the FY19 IFRS income statement, representing the difference between: a) the previous carrying amount of the subsidiaries, and b) the fair value of the subsidiaries disclosed in NAV statement below.
For some time and increasingly, Management has been viewing itself as an investment entity and has been providing alternative performance measures ("APM") based on its statement of net asset value ("NAV Statement") and a Management Income Statement. The final step which triggered the adoption of the investment entity exception was the creation of the valuation process enshrined in the terms of reference of the new Audit and Valuation Committee and the creation of that Committee on 31 December 2019.
The application of this "investment entity exception" brings Georgia Capital's IFRS financial statements more into line with the NAV Statement and Management Income Statement, described below. Net asset value disclosed under the NAV statement immaterially differs from IFRS equity value as at 31 December 2019. While the opening NAV was not audited, year-end 2018 NAV is reported in NAV statement under the same methodology as closing year-end 2019 NAV. The Management Income Statement is prepared under the adjusted IFRS methodology in 2019 and represents an APM, which has not been audited. A detailed reconciliation of Management Income Statement and NAV Statement to the IFRS accounts is provided on page 22. A narrative reconciliation of the Management Income Statement is provided on page 14 .
Net Asset Value (NAV) Statement
Our NAV Statement breaks down NAV into its components and provides roll forward of the related changes between the reporting periods, including a snapshot of the Group's financial position at the opening and closing dates. For the detailed valuation methodology of the investments, please refer to pages 35-36. The methodology underlying the presentation of the NAV statement is included in Georgia Capital PLC's 2018 Annual Report and Accounts on pages 82-90.

NAV per share increased by 5.7% during 2019 on the back of value creation13 across our portfolio companies and share buybacks. The value creation and buybacks contributed by 8.0% and 3.2% to the NAV per share growth, respectively, which was partially offset by: a) 3.4 million GCAP share issuance for the acquisition of 13.6% stake in GHG (-2.1% impact); b) management platform related costs (-2.0% impact); and c) net interest expense and FX movements (-1.3% impact).
Portfolio overview
Our portfolio value was up by 19.6% to GEL 2.3 billion in 2019, reflecting 5.1% and 35.3% growth in listed and private businesses, respectively. The value of our investment in listed assets increased by GEL 50 million during 2019 on the back of: a) GEL 140 million market value increase of our investment in BoG; b) GEL 113 million investment in GHG to increase equity stake from 57% to 70.6%; c) GEL 203 million market value decrease in our 70.6% holding in GHG and d) GEL 29 million dividends from BoG and GHG. The value of our private portfolio companies increased by GEL 320 million in 2019 reflecting GEL 168 million value creation and GEL 151 million net capital allocation from Georgia Capital.
1) Value creation
The private portfolio businesses generated GEL 168 million value for the Group in 2019 (10% growth in NAV per share), as a result of the strong operating performances and uplifts in valuations from changes in the peer group multiples. However, this was partially offset by GEL 34 million negative value creation from listed assets (-2.0% impact on NAV per share). BoG share price recovery during 2019 strongly supported NAV per share growth with GEL 165 million value creation (9.8% growth in NAV per share). However, we had a GEL 199 million negative value creation on our investment in GHG (-11.8% impact on NAV per share), as GHG share price decreased from 2.04 on 31 December 2018 to 1.23 on 31 December 2019. Our holdings of GHG equity shares increased from 57% to 70.6% on 18 December 2019 following the completion of a share exchange facility ("Share Exchange Facility"), whereby GCAP exchanged one share in GHG for 0.192 shares in GCAP. Further details of the transaction are available at the following link: https://georgiacapital.ge/ir/ghg-shares . Following the completion of the Share Exchange Facility, GCAP issued 3.4 million new shares valued at GEL 113 million for the acquisition of 13.6% equity stake in GHG.

GHG continued to deliver a strong operating performance in 2019 with EBITDA increasing 16.6% [16] y-o-y in 2019. GHG improved its adjusted return on invested capital, from 13.9% to 14.9%, and posted 25.7% y-o-y growth15 in operating cash flow generation in 2019. A substantially reduced investment programme was reflected in a positive free cash flow generation of GEL 77 million in 2019 (up from GEL 14 million in 2018). Georgia Capital received a GEL 4.0 million dividend payment from GHG on 12 July 2019. The strong operating performance was not reflected in GHG's share price, which retreated from GBP 2.04 at 31 December 2018 to GBP 1.23 at 31 December 2019. As a result, we had a GEL 199 million negative value creation on our investment in GHG. GHG's public announcement on FY19 performance is available at http://ghg.com.ge/financial-results .
BOG's share price recovered during 2019 by 18.0% to GBP 16.25 at 31 December 2019 leading to GEL 140 million increase in the market value of the Group's equity stake in BOG. In June 2019, we received GEL 25.0 million dividend payment from BoG. As a result, aggregate value creation from BoG investment was GEL 165 million in 2019. BoG's public announcement on FY19 performance is available at https://bankofgeorgiagroup.com/results/earnings .
Private late stage businesses
The 14.0% increase in Water Utility's LTM EBITDA contributed to approximately GEL 99.3 million growth in Enterprise Value (EV), which was partially offset by GEL 46.3 million net debt widening. Strong cash flow generation and operating performance enabled business to pay GEL 22.0 million dividend in 2019, which was reduced y-o-y. While the recent investment in infrastructure and water supply network modernization are expected to positively affect the tariff-setting process. The scheduled WSS[17] tariff revision for the upcoming 3-year regulatory period effective from 1 January 2021 dictated prudence in setting the dividend. The valuation was slightly affected by a negative GEL 4 million effect from the multiple decrease from 8.84 at 31 December 2018 to 8.80 at 31 December 2019. As a result, GEL 75.0 million equity value was created in 2019.
Housing Development is valued at GEL 43.9 million using discounted cash flow method. Following the receipt of construction permit for its largest residential project, Digomi, together with the strong project pipeline, expected cash inflows were increased, leading to GEL 35.6 million in value creation. Construction works commenced on 1 July 2019 and the business already reached 76.9% sales progress in the first stage of Digomi project. Completion of earlier projects and strong sales allowed the business to make a GEL 59.3 million dividend distribution in 2019, up from GEL 10 million last year.
The 7.3% increase in P&C Insurance's LTM net income resulted in GEL 12 million increase in fair value, while the multiple increase from 7.4 to 9.0 generated GEL 24.1 million in value. Multiples improved significantly across all peer group companies during 2019. P&C Insurance paid a dividend of GEL 12.0 million in 2019 on the back of strong cash flow generation and stable operating performance. As a result, GEL 46.4 million value was created in 2019.
Private early stage businesses
Renewable Energy has successfully commissioned its first hydro power plant in 1H19, which is still carried at cost in the NAV statement. The 50MW Mestiachala HPPs posted GEL 12.6 million EBITDA since the launch in April 2019, of which, GEL 10.0 million represents the expected insurance reimbursement for business interruption due to flood damage discussed on page 18. We expect that value creation from Mestiachala HPPs will be reflected in the NAV over the coming quarters, as the hydro demonstrates stabilised performance and cash flow generation following the full recovery from the flood damage.
Hospitality & Commercial Real Estate created GEL 9.9 million value during 2019. The business recorded GEL 18.6 million revaluation gain from the first-time revaluation of greenfield hotels and commercial assets, which was partly offset by GEL 8.6 million decrease in NAV due to the increased operating expenses for development of pipeline hotels. Our new hotel in the ski and mountain resort Gudauri was opened on 13 December 2019, and the business is working on two new Tbilisi hotels: we plan to open the Ramada Melikishvili in 1H20 and follow with the Kempinski hotel in 2H20. The December 31, 2019 NAV growth also reflects a GEL 49.3 million addition of commercial space (ground floors in completed residential projects) allocated to Hospitality and Commercial Real Estate from Housing Development. The properties were valued at c. 10% yield in US$ terms.
The Wine business continued to progress in line with its strategic priorities, delivering a 44% topline growth. However, the continued investment in export market diversification together with integration costs of the Kindzmarauli and Alaverdi acquisitions drove GEL 4.6 million negative impact from operating performance. The multiple increase from 9.1 to 10.0 added GEL 3.5 million value and as a result, value creation was negative GEL 1.1 million in 2019. The business expects to continue extracting synergies from Kindzmarauli and Alaverdi and to benefit from export market diversification in the coming quarters. The Alaverdi winery, which added 244 hectares of vineyards and tripled the business's production capacity, is carried at its acquisition price.
The Beer business performance was negatively affected by delays in launching Heineken brands, and had a negative GEL 13.9 million impact on value creation. The 67.9% increase in LTM normalized[18] revenue drove GEL 43.0 million increase in Enterprise Value, which was offset by GEL 22.3 million net debt widening and GEL 14.6 million capital allocation from Georgia Capital to finance working capital needs. Operating performance began to improve significantly in 2H19, while all Heineken brands have been launched from July, and the beer EBITDA was at break-even level in 2H19.
Pipeline businesses
Auto Service combines our vehicle technical inspection business valued at GEL 20.7 million and our Amboli auto service business valued at its acquisition price of GEL 5.0 million at 31 December 2019. Periodic technical inspection became mandatory in Georgia in 2H18 and the business successfully launched 26 PTI centers in March 2019, while managing to generate GEL 3.3 million EBITDA in 2019. At 31 December 2019, the periodic technical inspection business was valued using EBITDA earnings of GEL 6.7 million[19] and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.4, resulting in the GEL 20.7 million valuation. As the greenfield business has demonstrated stable performance, a GEL 17.1 million value was created from the revaluation in 2019 on top of the GEL 5.0 million capital allocated from Georgia Capital.
The Education business and the Digital Services business are carried at acquisition prices at 31 December 2019. We expect that value creation from recent acquisitions will be reflected in NAV Statement over the coming quarters.
We continued the research and evaluation of new investment opportunities, while GEL 0.7 million feasibility costs were expensed during 2019, representing a negative value creation on Other pipeline projects .
2) Investments
During 2019, we invested GEL 358 million across our portfolio, of which, GEL 113 million was invested in listed businesses, GEL 173 million was invested in early stage portfolio companies and GEL 71 million in the pipeline businesses. The following capital allocation decisions were made during 2019:
Ø GEL 113 million capital was used for the acquisition of 13.6% holding in GHG as part of Share Exchange Facility.
Ø GEL 45.6 million was allocated to Renewable Energy in 2019 for the acquisition of Hydrolea HPPs (GEL 29.5 million) and Qartli WPPs (GEL 12.6 million), while GEL 3.5 million was allocated for the development of pipeline HPPs and WPPs.
Ø GEL 37.3 million cash capital was allocated to Hospitality for development of pipeline hotels, while we also allocated finished commercial properties of GEL 49.3 million valued at c. 10% yield in US$ terms.
Ø GEL 16.4 million was allocated to Wine for the acquisition of Alaverdi winery.
Ø GEL 10.1 million was invested in Beer for the acquisition of prominent beverages brand Kazbegi. We also allocated GEL 14.6 million to finance working capital needs.
Ø GEL 49.3 million was allocated to Education in 2019. GEL 39.7 million was invested in securing high quality partnerships with three top schools with excellent management teams. GEL 1.3 million was allocated for the existing land development, GEL 2.3 million was used to acquire new land for a premium school development and GEL 5.2 million was used to acquire new land for a mid-level school development.
Ø GEL 10 million was allocated to Auto Service, of which GEL 5 million was for the launch of PTI business. In addition, GEL 3.4 million was used to acquire an 80% equity stake in Amboli and GEL 1.6 million was an additional pro-rata equity capital injection into Amboli to fund the growth of the business.
Ø GEL 9 million was allocated to Digital Services, of which, GEL 1.2 million was for the acquisition of Redberry and GEL 7.6 million was an additional equity capital injection to fund the business growth.
Ø GEL 2 million capital was invested in the research and evaluation of new investment opportunities.
3) Dividends
Georgia Capital recorded GEL 122 million dividends in 2019, of which, GEL 29 million were from listed assets and GEL 93 from late stage businesses: BoG - GEL 25.0 million, GHG - GEL 4.0 million, P&C insurance - GEL 12 million, Water Utility - GEL 22.0 million and Housing Development - GEL 59.3 million .

Net debt overview
Net debt increased by GEL 297 million to GEL 494 million in 2019, where the increase was driven primarily by GEL 125 million share buybacks and by net GEL 121 million cash investments. GCAP cash operating expenses of GEL 20 million, foreign exchange loss of GEL 21 million and Share Exchange Facility transaction costs of GEL 6 million also contributed to the widening of Net Debt.
1) Investments and Dividends
During 2019, GEL 358 capital was invested across our portfolio companies, of which GEL 194 million was cash capital allocation, GEL 113 million was share capital allocation and GEL 49 million was commercial real estate spaces allocation to the commercial real estate business , as described earlier in this report. Further, GEL 73 million cash dividends were collected from our portfolio companies. As a result, net increase in net debt from net cash investments was GEL 121 million.
2) Buybacks
During 2019, 3.5 million shares were bought back for total cash consideration of GEL 125 million (US$ 43.8 million), of which, 2.1 million shares were bought under the share buyback programme and 1.4 million shares for the management trust. GCAP cancelled 2.7 million shares bought back under the completed US$ 45 million share buyback programme, transferred 0.7 million shares from treasury to the management trust and issued 0.7 million shares for share compensation awards in respect of FY18 services. The buyback and cancellation (3.2% growth in NAV per share) together with issuance of 3.4 million shares (-2.1% impact on NAV per share) drove a 1.7% decrease in the number of outstanding shares during 2019. Please see the detailed rollforward of changes in the number of outstanding shares on page 25.

Cash and liquid funds
In line with its risk management practices, the Group actively monitors the allocation of its liquid resources and its commitment to maintain at least US$ 50 million liquid funds. At 31 December 2019, cash and liquid funds were allocated in internationally and locally listed debt securities. Internationally listed debt securities include Eurobonds issued by Georgian corporates. Locally listed debt securities are local bonds issued by Georgian corporates, which are listed and traded on the Georgian Stock Exchange.
At 31 December 2019, loans issued primarily refer to the following facilities: (i) a GEL 49.7 million (US$ 17.3 million) to the housing development business; (ii) a GEL 28.8 million (US$ 10.0 million) loan to the hospitality & commercial real estate business; (iii) a GEL 35.7 million (US$ 12.4 million) loan to the renewable energy business and (iii) a GEL 34.4 million (US$ 12.0 million) loan issued to the BoG holding company as part of the demerger, maturing in March 2020. During 2019 we collected GEL 199 million net cash from the repayment of our high quality loans issued to portfolio companies, leading to a 50% decrease in issued loan balance.
Gross debt
At 31 December 2019 the outstanding balance of US$ 300 million six-year Eurobonds due in March 2024 was GEL 857 million, reflecting foreign exchange loss of GEL 57 million from GEL depreciation against USD during 2019 [26] . Gross debt balance further increased by GEL 55 million coupon accrual26, which was offset by GEL 57 million coupon payment26 in 2019.

Georgia Capital generated Gross operating income of GEL 115.7 million in 2019 on the back of strong dividend inflows, as discussed above in this report. Georgia Capital earned an average yield of 7.6% on the liquid assets and issued loans in 2019, of which 9.6% was earned on the loans issued and 5.4% on the liquid funds. The coupon on the $300 million bond, issued in March 2018, is 6.125%. As a result, GEL 6.5 million of net interest expense was recorded during 2019 at GCAP level. The table below summarises net interest expense components for 2019 and 2018:

GCAP management fee expenses have a targeted cap of 2% of Georgia Capital's market capitalisation. LTM management fee expense ratio was 1.8% at 31 December 2019. Total LTM operating expense ratio including fund type expenses31 was 2.4% in 2019. FY18 expense ratio is not comparable due to incomplete year of operations for GCAP since its demerger on 29-May-18.

Total investment return represents the increase (decrease) in the fair value of our portfolio. Total investment return of GEL 12 million and dividend income of GEL 122 million together led to GEL 134 million value creation in 2019 as presented in the NAV statement. Investment return in 2018 was negatively impacted by adverse global market conditions at year-end and amounted to negative GEL 756 million. The reconciliation of FY19 value creation with NAV Statement is provided on page 25. We discuss valuation drivers for each business on pages 9-10 and the performance of private businesses is discussed on pages 15-21.
The Group's net income is then driven by net foreign currency loss during 2019. GCAP incurred a net foreign currency loss of GEL 20.9 million in 2019 from GEL devaluation against US dollar due to its net foreign currency liability balance amounting to c. US$ 192 million (GEL 550 million) at 31 December 2019, i.e. difference between foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities. As a result of the movements described above, net income was GEL 71.6 million in 2019.
In line with the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") guidelines about the use of alternative performance measures (APMs) in the preliminary announcement, we discuss below the reconciliation of net income under management accounts with IFRS consolidated results.
Before the transition date of 31 December 2019 (please see more details on change in accounting basis on page 8), Georgia Capital consolidated the results of its investments in its IFRS income statement. As a result of reflecting the change in the status of the business to an investment entity, a cumulative transition gain of GEL 589 million was recognised on 31 December 2019. Therefore, the FY19 profit for the year within the IFRS consolidated income statement was GEL 604.3 million compared to the net income under management accounts of GEL 71.6 million. A gain from the change to investment entity status represents the difference between: a) the previous carrying amount of the subsidiaries, and b) the fair value of the subsidiaries disclosed in NAV statement on page 8. Starting from 2020, the IFRS income statement is expected to be closely aligned to the Management Income Statement.
The FY19 IFRS results of each portfolio business together with management commentary are discussed on pages 15 to 21. A detailed reconciliation of our Management Income Statement to the IFRS income statement is provided on page 22.

KEY POINTS
Ø 9.6% growth in FY19 revenues primarily driven by increased electricity sales
Ø FY19 energy revenue more than doubled y-o-y, reflecting 64.4% increase in the average electricity sales price
Ø Positive operating leverage of 9.0 ppts in 2019 drove 14.0% growth in EBITDA
Ø Outstanding collection rates and positive operating leverage drive FY19 operating cash flow up 21.3%
Ø Development capex down significantly by 49.2% and FCF was positive at GEL 16.8 million in 2019
INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The 9.6% growth in FY19 water utility revenues was primarily driven by increased electricity sales, which more than doubled y-o-y and amounted to GEL 20.2 million. The solid growth in electricity sales reflects significant improvements in average electricity sales price (up from 6.9 Tetri/KWh to 11.3 Tetri/KWh) and continued savings in Water Utility's self-produced electricity consumption. Over the last four years the business reduced self-produced electricity consumption by 45.5% from 319 million kwh in 2015 to 174 million kwh in 2019 (down by 9.9% y-o-y in 2019). Electricity market deregulation, effective from May 2019, had an immediate impact on electricity sales prices and is anticipated to positively affect revenue streams from electricity sales going forward. Growth in top-line was also supported by increased water supply revenues (up 1.1% y-o-y) mainly on the back of strong business activity across various industries. Continued efficiency improvements were reflected in positive operating leverage of 9.0 ppts in 2019, leading to 14.0% y-o-y growth of FY19 EBITDA to GEL 95.1 million.
Net interest expense was up 71.7% y-o-y in 2019 in line with increased leverage during 2H18 to finance capital expenditures. The average balance of borrowings increased from GEL 284 million in 2018 to GEL 348 million in 2019. Foreign exchange losses of GEL 7.6 million in 2019 reflect the currency translation impact of GEL depreciation against the Euro. GGU recorded losses on its unhedged position of GEL 126.4 million in Euros at 31 December 2019. As a result, Water Utility profit was GEL 33.2 million in 2019 (down by 3.8% y-o-y).
BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
The 13.3% increase in property, plant and equipment in 2019, was primarily due to development works on water utility infrastructure carried out during the year in order to upgrade the network. Such efficiency programmes have a dual effect of reducing own electricity consumption and increasing third party electricity sales. Additionally, regulated CAPEX is included in the Regulated Asset Base, used by the regulator to calculate fair return on investment. Development CAPEX substantially decreased during the year by 49.2%, following the completion of privatisation obligations in 1H19. The increase in total liabilities is due to increased borrowings obtained from financial institutions to support capital expenditures.
Water Utility switched from fair value measurement of its property plant and equipment to cost model based on international best practices, in order to better align IFRS treatment of PPE with regulatory accounting principles4. Comparative periods were also retrospectively restated.
CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS
FY19 operating cash flow was up by 21.3% to GEL 99.0 million on the back of stronger EBITDA and outstanding water supply receivable collection rates. During 2019, the collection rates for legal entities and households were 99% and 94%, respectively. On top of improved operating cash, the development CAPEX almost halved and free cash flow was positive GEL 16.8 million in 2019 (up from negative GEL 66.0 million in 2018). In 2019 Water Utility distributed dividends in amount of GEL 22.0 million.

For most of 2019 and in the medium term, however, the largest driver of the cycle of our projects was and will be the Digomi project, which is currently our only ongoing housing project. Digomi is our largest ever in-house residential project, with an aggregate c. 132,000 sq.m. in residential space, and also includes 35,000 sq.m. in commercial space. The project is being developed in three stages. Stage I involves 22,089 sq.m. of residential space. Stage II will add 47,167 sq.m. in residential space to Housing Development's inventory. Stage III is the largest, with more than 63,014 sq.m. in residential space. A delay in receiving the construction permit from Tbilisi City Municipality delayed the project's launch by several months and slowed the planned momentum of our project cycle. Construction works for Stage I finally commenced in July 2019. The project is expected to be completed in 2023.
With the permit finally approved at the end of June 2019, continued healthy market conditions meant that the Digomi project contributed to the significant growth in 2H19 gross profit (more than doubled h-o-h and up by 8.4% y-o-y). The Digomi project's sales progress reached 77% of total sellable area in Stage I where 16,980 sq.m., with US$ 18 million value has been sold in 2019. However, the business recognized only US$ 5.0 million sales revenue, in line with the IFRS construction progress of the project4. In December 2019, Housing Development started apartment pre-sales for the second stage of Digomi which adds an estimated US$ 53 million sales value to the Housing Development's inventory. The pre-sales for Stage III (the largest), are expected to kick in from 4Q20.
FY19 gross real estate profit was strongly supported by the construction segment, which generated gross profit of GEL 7.6 million in 2019, up 42.5% y-o-y. Construction fees were mainly driven by six on-going hotel projects during the year in the hospitality business and by two third-party projects: i) the shell and core construction of a new shopping mall located in Tbilisi's Saburtalo district and (ii) fit-out works for Radisson Tsinandali in Kakheti region.
FY19 operating expenses increased by 76.6% y-o-y to GEL 19.3 million and resulted in negative FY19 EBITDA of GEL 3.5 million. The operating expenses include upfront costs for the new projects. The increase reflects continued growth of the company, while anticipating to launch the residential and construction projects in the pipeline.
Following commencement of construction the Digomi project, Housing Development generated GEL 7.8 million operating cash flow in 2H19. However, FY19 operating cash flow was negative GEL 8.9 million due to low levels of inventory in 1H19. In November 2019 Housing Development has successfully placed US$ 35 million of a 3-year bonds into the local market with an annual coupon rate of 7.5%. The proceeds from placement were used to refinance existing US$ 25 million local bonds issued in 2016. The remaining proceeds were earmarked to finance the development of Digomi project, where cash collection was lower than expected at 42%, negatively impacted by construction permit delay.

KEY POINTS
Ø Border third-party liability insurance and organic business growth drive revenue up 11.6% y-o-y
Ø GEL 12 million dividend was paid out on the back of strong operating cash flow generation
INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The FY19 P&C insurance business revenues increased by 11.6% y-o-y as a result of growth in earned premiums from: (i) compulsory border third-party liability insurance, introduced in March 2018 (up GEL 1.5 million y-o-y); (ii)
organic growth in credit life insurance (up 23.0% y-o-y); (iii) credit unemployment and property insurance (up
GEL 2.3 million y-o-y); (iv) agro insurance (up GEL 0.6 million y-o-y); (v) compulsory personal accident insurance, effective from 1 January 2019 (up GEL 0.5 million y-o-y on the back of 26,328 policies written in 2019). P&C Insurance's key performance ratios remained healthy during 2019 as noted below:
Key Ratios | 2H19 | 2H18 | Change | 1H19 | Change | FY19 | FY18 | Change |
Combined ratio | 83.9% | 76.1% | 7.8ppts | 80.2% | 3.7ppts | 82.1% | 75.5% | 6.6ppts |
Expense ratio | 42.4% | 39.3% | 3.1ppts | 38.6% | 3.8ppts | 40.6% | 37.3% | 3.3ppts |
Loss ratio | 41.5% | 36.8% | 4.7ppts | 41.6% | -0.1ppts | 41.6% | 38.2% | 3.4ppts |
The 6.6 percentage point y-o-y increase in the FY19 combined ratio was mostly due to increased loss ratio and higher commission rates on credit life, property and compulsory insurance. The 3.4 percentage point y-o-y increase in the FY19 loss ratio was due to increased net claim expenses, predominantly in the credit life insurance portfolio. Additionally, unusually high claims were incurred on several large contracts in motor and property insurance, among them losses caused by natural disasters. As a result, Aldagi's net income was up 7.3% y-o-y, resulting in 30.4% ROAE in 2019 (34.4% in 2018). Over the next several years, the P&C business expects to build a healthier retail client portfolio in motor insurance, which is a largely untapped market with only 4% existing penetration providing significant room for growth.
BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
At 31 December 2019, total assets stood at GEL 200.3 million, up 37.4% from 31 December 2018. The growth was driven by 10.6% increase in cash and liquid funds. The decrease in pension assets and pension liabilities resulted fully from new state pension regulation that came into effect from 1 January 2019. P&C Insurance's solvency ratio stood at 119% at 31 December 2019, above the required minimum of 100%.
CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS
Operating cash flow was down 6.8 % y-o-y in 2019, due to a settlement of large claim in 2H19, for which the reinsurers' share was received in prior periods. P&C insurance paid a GEL 12 million dividend in 2019, up 20% from GEL 10 million in 2018.

KEY POINTS
Ø A year of significant growth - increasing installed capacity to 91MW and progressing on the 350MW pipeline
o The first hydro power plants ("HPP"), Mestiachala HPPs launched in 1H19 on time and within budget before suffering flood damage
o Acquisition of Hydrolea HPPs with an aggregate 20.6MW installed capacity
o Acquisition of 20.7MW Qartli wind farm, the only operational wind farm in Georgia
o Construction works commenced on 46MW Zoti HPPs in 4Q19, expected to be operational in 2H21
o The Government approved the concept of 108MW wind power plant ("WPP") projects, expected to be commissioned in 2H22
Ø FY19 EBITDA at GEL 13.1 million with 80.9% EBITDA margin
INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The Renewable Energy's FY19 revenues of GEL 16.2 million includes revenue from electricity sales of GEL 6.1 million, of which GEL 4.7 million was contributed by Mestiachala HPPs with 54.1 GWh generation. The annual net generation capacity of Mestiachala HPPs is projected at approximately 171GWh on stabilized basis. Hydrolea HPPs added GEL 1.4 million to FY19 revenues on the back of 8.6 GWh generation since acquisition on 29 October 2019. The remaining GEL 10.0 million revenue represents expected business interruption ("BI") reimbursement by insurance company for foregone electricity sales revenues from Mestiachala HPPs during Aug-Dec. The insurance company has confirmed the amount of BI reimbursement for the year 2019 for both HPPs and is in process of remitting the funds to the business. The first phase (30MW) of Mestiachala HPPs was launched on 8 April 2019, followed by the second phase (20MW) on 4 June 2019. Total project cost was US$ 62.0 million, in line with budgeted US$ 1.2 million per MW. The HPPs were affected by flooding resulting from a rock avalanche and were taken offline in late July 2019. Operations successfully resumed at the first phase (30MW) within the expected timeline and at the originally planned generation level in December 2019. Based on the updated schedule the second phase (20MW HPP) is expected to return online in 1H21 following the comprehensive assessment of remaining restoration works. As a result, FY19 EBITDA amounted to GEL 13.1 million with 80.9% EBITDA margin.
BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
In 2019 Georgia Capital continued to invest in the renewable energy business, successfully acquiring 100% equity stakes in high quality assets: Hydrolea HPPs (total consideration of GEL 66.5 million, of which GEL 29.5 million is GCAP equity) on 29 October 2019 and Qartli wind farm (total consideration of GEL 41.3 million, of which GEL 12.7 million is GCAP equity) on 15 November 2019. Hydrolea operates three HPPs with an aggregate 21MW installed capacity and has a greenfield 19MW HPP project, expected to be operational by the end of 2022. All of the acquired hydro and wind assets have high gross capacity factors (58% for hydro and 47% for wind on average) and benefit from guaranteed prices via Power Purchase Agreements ("PPA") with the Government of Georgia for the next 8-10 years. The wind PPA has USD 65/MWh tariff and hydro PPA prices range from 55.4 USc/MWh to 56.6 USc/MWh.
The 58.8% y-o-y increase in total equity is mainly driven by capital allocation from GCAP for recent acquisitions. Overall the energy business is financing the projects with up to c. 30% equity contribution. In addition to recent acquisitions, the increase in total assets also reflects finalization of construction works on Mestiachala HPPs.
Renewable Energy continues to develop its pipeline projects with targeted 350MW installed capacity in the medium-term. The concept approval of Tbilisi and Kaspi WPPs represents significant milestone in the process of obtaining PPAs, expected to be finalised in the near future.
The table below summarises the indicative pipeline of the upcoming energy projects, with targeted blended ROIC of 12%:

Gross profit from operating leases increased by 40.8% y-o-y in FY19 primarily due to the expansion of the commercial real estate portfolio, supported by high occupancy levels. Georgia Capital allocated GEL 49.3 million commercial space in the completed residential projects valued at c. 10% yield in US$ terms. The commercial portfolio increased by 76.5% to US$ 44.9 million in 2019 (US$ 25.3 million in 2018), while occupancy level and gross income yield stood at 87.1% (90.1% in 2018) and 9.5% (9.9% in 2018), respectively. New additions to the portfolio will reach stabilized occupancy and income yield in 2020. Nearly 80% of the total commercial assets portfolio represents office and retail areas and another 20% residential and industrial spaces.
Within the hospitality business, the hotel room utilization picked up from 44% in 2018 to 54% in 2019 in Ramada Encore hotel, our first hotel launched in March 2018. In December 2019, Amber Group opened the first in-house branded hotel "Gudauri Lodge Hotel", which added 121 operational rooms to the hospitality business portfolio. Amber Group's investment in the Hotel, including the land value, totals US$ 16.0 million.
In 2019 the business booked revaluation gain of GEL 22 million on hotels and commercial assets (valued at c. 10% yield), of which GEL 8 million represents revaluation gain on under construction Kempinski hotel, expected to open in 4Q20. Management hires an independent, internationally recognised valuation company to determine the fair values of hotels after a predetermined construction progress threshold is reached.
BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
At 31 Dec 2019, total assets amounted to GEL 462.3 million (up 56.8% from 31 December 2018) and was largely concentrated in investment property. Commercial real estate increased by 76.5% in 2019 mainly due to the allocation of finished commercial properties from Georgia Capital and construction works performed for hotels under construction. The business continued to build ground for its 1,222 hotel rooms portfolio by acquiring: an 8,964 sq.m. land plot for a total cash consideration of GEL 7.3 million in Zugdidi, a historical region in western Georgia and 7,500 sq.m. land plot for a total cash consideration of US$ 0.9 million located in Shovi, Racha - a health resort in the greater Caucasus mountain region. The business is on track to commission two under construction hotels in 2020: Melikishvili Ramada Hotel in 2Q20 and Kempinski Hotel in 4Q20. In 2019, Hospitality & Commercial Real Estate issued a 3-year US$ 30 million bonds into the local market with a 7.5% annual coupon rate. The bonds are backed by rental income stream from commercial properties and the proceeds are used for on-going hotel developments.
CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS
The first operational Ramada Encore hotel added GEL 1.9 million to FY19 operating cash flow, while contribution from rent-generating assets was GEL 6.1 million. The y-o-y decrease in FY19 operating cashflow reflects increased operating expenses due to the expected roll-out of the under-construction hotels. In 2019 the business spent GEL 101 million on capital expenditures and acquisitions of land plots for further hotel development. Amber group targets 70%:30% debt to equity leverage ratio at hotels after hotel opening and 50%:50% during construction stage.

WINE BUSINESS
KEY POINTS
Ø Export sales outperforming the strong export market growth in 2019 and driving FY19 revenues up 43.6% y-o-y
Ø Outstanding topline growth led to 22.1% y-o-y growth in FY19 EBITDA
Ø Acquisition of Alaverdi winery added 244 hectares of vineyards and tripled annual production capacity to 28.4 million wine bottles per annum
Ø FY19 operating cash flow at GEL 2.8 million (GEL 0.1 million in FY18), benefiting from decreased reliance on grape purchases
The wine business demonstrated a robust performance in 2019, which was supported by growth in exports. Strong demand in the Georgia's export markets resulted in a 9% y-o-y increase in volume in 2019, with export bottles sold reaching a 14 year high of 93 million. With its well diversified export portfolio compared to local peer companies, our business increased its wine bottle sales by 46.5% from c. 3.1 million bottles in 2018 to c. 4.5 million in 2019 - well above the market growth rate. As a result, revenue increased by 43.6% y-o-y to GEL 42.2 million in 2019. FY19 revenues reflect a GEL 2.9 million revaluation gain on grapes, up 0.8% y-o-y. Revaluation gain is expected to increase next year during the harvest season in 2H20, as Alaverdi grapes were already reflected at fair value in the acquisition price in 2019.
The wine business maintained a solid gross profit margin of 44.6% in 2019 (47.8% in 2018) despite the increased purchase prices for grapes. Management expects to minimize reliance on third party wine materials and manage gross margin levels, as the business benefits from Kindzamaruli and Alaverdi acquisitions. The business continued to invest in developing new export markets during the year, which led to increased operating costs in 2019. As a result, FY19 EBITDA was up by 22.1%.
Operating cash flow increased from GEL 0.1 million in 2018 to GEL 2.8 million in 2019, reflecting decreased reliance on purchased grapes. The cash used in investing activities increased by 114% to GEL 39.2 million in 2019 mainly due to Alaverdi acquisition for the total cash consideration of GEL 32.9 million (GEL 16 million was a capital allocation from GCAP). In addition to 244 hectares of vineyards, Alaverdi also added sizable existing wine inventory materials available for immediate sale and 135 hectares of free land available for immediate vineyard development. Following Alaverdi acquisition on 19 August 2019, the business has three top class wineries across Kakheti's three wine-making regions with 704 hectares of vineyards.
Starting from 2H19 the business strengthened its management team with a new CEO. Management expects to continue to focus on its strategic priorities to enter untapped strategic export markets, diversify its product mix by portfolio premiumization and optimise costs through increased production capacity.
BEER BUSINESS
KEY POINTS
Ø Beer business launched four new brands in 1H19, followed by the launch of Heineken in July 2019
Ø Strong beer sales volumes in 3Q19, driving market share growth from 14% in 2018 to 20% in 2019
Ø Beer business EBITDA at break-even level in 2H19
During the first half of 2019 the beer business was mainly focused on launching new brands: in March the business acquired a prominent Georgian beverages brand - Kazbegi, followed by launch of Kazbegi beer and lemonade in April. Krusovice, Amstel and a local light beer, Kayaki, three upper-mainstream segment beer brands, were also fully launched during May. In July 2019 business achieved a significant milestone and launched locally brewed Heineken. Starting from 2H19 the beer business benefited from full scale launch of new brands. Improved product mix allowed the business to increase beer market share from 14% to 20% in 2019 and to achieve a 58.1% y-o-y growth in 2H19 revenues. The 48.9% growth in FY19 revenues and negative GEL 6.5 million FY19 EBITDA does not reflect full year potential due to mid-year launches. FY19 revenues normalized for new brand launches would have been GEL 47.2 million, up 67.9% y-o-y. 2H19 EBITDA was at break-even level, while 2H19 revenues were up by 39.2% h-o-h. Operating cash flow was negative GEL 14.0 million in 2019, negatively affected by delays in launching Heineken brands. As a result, the business booked impairment loss of GEL 25.3 million in non-recurring items under IFRS. Increase in cash used in investing activities by GEL 8.6 million was mainly driven by acquisition of Kazbegi brand. In 2019 the business obtained borrowings from local banks to support growth in the HoReCa market, where it achieved leading position. Additionally, Georgia Capital provided GEL 15 million capital to finance working capital needs.

Pipeline businesses
Attractive service business - Auto Service
Georgia Capital sees strong value creation opportunity in the auto services industry, which is currently a very fragmented market with approximately GEL 2.8 billion[32] annual revenues. The leading player controls c. 16% of the market, while the rest of the market is dominated by small, owner-operated lower-end service shops. The number of vehicles has grown at 7% CAGR over the last seven years, while the vast majority of vehicles in the country remains largely outdated. The attractive growth rates combined with the expected increase in customer spending due to the stricter regulatory environment make the auto service business an attractive strategic opportunity. Georgia Capital aims to build a diversified business model with a digital platform combining different auto-related services: car services and parts, secondary car trading, car insurance and periodic technical inspection (PTI).
The Group's PTI business became fully operational from March 2019 under the name of Greenway Georgia (GWG), as described in more detail below. Additionally, the Group acquired an 80% interest in Amboli, at the end of June 2019. Amboli, the second largest player on the market with approximately 1% market share, was valued at 0.7x EV/Sales. The Group paid GEL 3.4 million for the acquisition and also contributed GEL 1.6 million capital into equity (its pro rata share) to fund the business growth.

As part of the Georgia-EU Association Agreement, Georgia started implementation of mandatory vehicle inspection programme in several phases starting from January 2018. In July 2018, GWG won a state tender to launch and operate 51 periodic technical inspection lines across Georgia with a 10-year license. Technical inspection prices are set at GEL 60 and GEL 100 for light vehicles and heavy vehicles, respectively. GWG is the only player on the market with support from an international partner, Applus+, a Spain-headquartered worldwide leader in testing, inspection and certification services with a market presence in more than 70 countries.
GWG finalized construction of 26 centres (10 locations in the capital city and 16 locations in the regions) and became fully operational from March 2019. Gross profit margin was 66% and EBITDA margin stood at 25% in 2019, both expected to substantially increase on a stabilized basis in 2020. GWG serviced 342,275 cars (of which, 246,932 were primary checks) in 2019, capturing approximately 36% of current total market. The number of cars serviced in 2H19 was up 43.9% h-o-h in 2H19 to 201,937 cars. The PTI businesses generated GEL 3 million operating cash flow during the year. GWG invested GEL 48 million to commence its operations, of which, GEL 5 million was equity capital provided by Georgia Capital and the rest was financed by borrowings from a local financial institution.
Education - Fragmented education market offers attractive opportunity for a scaled player
There are currently c. 60,000 learners in private schools in Georgia, representing 10% of total school education market. Georgia Capital expects that the private school market in Georgia will double in size over the next five years. The market is currently very fragmented, with no single player having more than 2% market share. Georgia Capital intends to create a diversified business model combining premium, mid-level and affordable school segments. The Group aims to implement a partnership model across all schools with the Group holding majority stakes. By 2025 the Group aims to generate GEL 70,000 million EBITDA with up to 30,000 learners and an additional GEL 185 million gross capital allocation.
In 2019 Georgia Capital acquired majority stakes in three leading schools: British-Georgian Academy (70% stake), the leading school in the premium segment of the market; Buckswood International School (80% stake), well-positioned in the mid-level segment and Green School (80%-90% ownership[33]), a leading player in the affordable education segment. BGA and Buckswood were acquired at a 6.4x EV/EBITDA 2020 and Green school acquisition multiple was 5.6x EV/EBITDA. We plan to increase maximum capacity of existing learners at all three schools by expanding the existing campuses and adding new ones in Tbilisi and surrounding areas.
The table below summarises the investments and expected growth pipeline in the education business:
School | Segment | Total existing & future capital allocation from GCAP | Debt/Equity | GCAP ownership | Current capacity of learners | Targeted capacity of learners | Targeted cost per learner |
BGA | Premium | GEL 75 million | 50% | 70% | 800 | 3,200 | GEL 35,000 -40,000 |

Redberry - a leading platform for investments in the digital services business
On 8 May 2019 Georgia Capital acquired a 60% equity stake in Redberry, a leading Georgian digital marketing agency. Redberry was fully owned and managed by two young Georgian entrepreneurs who will remain with the business. The total cash consideration for the acquisition was US$ 3.2 million, of which, US$ 0.4 million was used to acquire the equity stake from the existing shareholders and US$ 2.8 million capital was injected to fund business growth. To capitalise on the high growth digital sector, the Group plans to further focus on digital start-up developments by: 1) creating digital start-ups focused on Georgia, with small investment sizes of c.US$ 100 thousand per each start-up 2) developing digital sales channels/business lines for Georgian corporates through joint venture partnerships models.

Management income statement preparation methodology
The management P&L is an aggregation of GCAP's stand-alone P&L and fair value change of portfolio companies during the reporting period.
· The top part of the income statement (GCAP Net Operating Income) represents the aggregation of the two stand-alone holding company accounts, which we call GCAP (i.e. the UK holding company Georgia Capital PLC and the Georgian holding company JSC Georgia Capital ), the performance of which reflects the net result of a) dividend income accrual based on paid or declared annual dividend proceeds from portfolio companies during the reporting period, b) interest income on liquid funds and loans issued, c) interest expenses on debt incurred at GCAP level (which consists of the bonds issued) and d) expenses incurred at GCAP level.
· Fair value change of portfolio companies (Total Investment Return) represents fair value changes in the value of portfolio companies during the reporting period, as valued in the period-end NAV statement. Holdings in listed and private portfolio companies are valued for the purposes of NAV as follows: i) listed portfolio companies are carried at the period-end market values based on closing share prices on respective reputable stock exchanges and ii) private businesses are carried at management's estimated fair values based on valuation technique believed to be most appropriate to the investment. A detailed valuation methodology is described on pages 35-36. We view fair value changes of portfolio companies as a metric to measure the total investment return of Georgia Capital's holdings, which itself reflects value creation for a shareholder.
· Following the aggregation of GCAP Net Operating Income and Total Investment Return, we arrive at management income before foreign exchange movements for the period.
· Below the income before foreign exchange movements line, to arrive at management net income, we present GCAP gains or losses from foreign exchange movements.
In line with the change to disclose private businesses at fair value instead of book value in the NAV statement from FY18 results announcement, Georgia Capital is presenting the performance of each portfolio company in its management income statement on fair value basis starting from 1H19 results announcement. y-o-y performance has not been discussed in details, as management believes that FY18 is not directly comparable and the discussion is not useful for users.
Appendices (cont'd)
Valuation methodology
Equity investments in Georgia Capital's portfolio companies are measured at the managements' estimate of fair value at the reporting date in accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date.
Equity Investments in Listed Portfolio Companies
Equity instruments listed on an active market are valued at the price within the bid/ask spread, that is most representative of fair value at the reporting date, which usually represents the closing bid price.
Equity Investments in Private Portfolio Companies
Equity investments in private portfolio companies are valued by applying an appropriate valuation method, which makes maximum use of market-based public information, is consistent with valuation methods generally used by market participants and is applied consistently from period to period, unless a change in valuation technique would result in more reliable estimation of fair value.
The value of an unquoted equity investment is generally crystallised through the sale or flotation of the entire business, rather than the sale of an individual instrument. Therefore, the estimation of fair value is based on the assumed realisation of the entire enterprise at the reporting date. Recognition is given to the uncertainties inherent in estimating the fair value of unquoted companies and appropriate caution is applied in exercising judgments and in making the necessary estimates.
Fair value of equity investment is usually determined using one of the valuation methods described below:
Listed Peer Group Multiples
The preferred method for valuing equity investments in private portfolio companies is comparison with the multiples of comparable listed companies. This methodology involves the application of a listed peer group earnings multiple to the earnings of the business and is appropriate for investments in established businesses which are profitable and for which the company can determine a group of listed companies with similar characteristics.
The earnings multiple used in valuation is determined by reference to listed peer group multiples appropriate for the period of earnings calculation for the investment being valued. The Group identifies peer group for each equity investment taking into consideration points of similarity with the investment such as industry, business model, size of the company, economic and regulatory factors, growth prospects (higher growth rate) and risk profiles. Certain peer-group companies can be more heavily weighted if their characteristics are closer to those of the company being valued than are those of the other companies in peer group.
Generally, last 12-month earnings will be used for the purposes of valuation. Earnings are adjusted where appropriate for exceptional or non-recurring items.
a. Valuation based on enterprise value
Fair value of equity investments in private companies can be determined as their enterprise value less net financial debt (gross face value of debt less cash) appearing in the most recent Financial Statements.
Enterprise value is obtained by multiplying measures of a company's earnings by listed peer group multiple (EV/EBITDA) for the appropriate period. The measures of earnings generally used in the calculation is recurring EBITDA for the last 12 months (LTM EBITDA). In exceptional cases, where EBITDA is negative, peer EV/Sales (enterprise value to sales) multiple can be applied to last 12-month sales revenue of the business (LTM sales) to estimate enterprise value.
Once the enterprise value is estimated, the following steps are taken:
Net financial debt appearing in the most recent financial statements is subtracted from the enterprise value. If net debt exceeds enterprise value, the value of shareholders' equity remains at zero if the debt is without recourse to Georgia Capital.
The resulting fair value of equity is apportioned between Georgia Capital and other shareholders of the Company being valued, if applicable.
Valuation based on enterprise value using peer multiples is used for profitable businesses within non-financial industries.
Appendices (cont'd)
Valuation methodology (cont'd)
b. Equity fair value valuation
Fair value of equity investment in companies can determined as using price to earnings (P/E) multiple of similar listed companies.
The measure of earnings used in the calculation is recurring adjusted net income (net income adjusted for non-recurring items and forex gains/ losses) for the last 12 months (LTM net income). The resulting fair value of equity is apportioned between Georgia Capital and other shareholders of the company being valued.
Fair valuation of equity using peer multiples can be used for businesses within financial sector (e.g. insurance companies).
Discounted cash flow
Under the Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") valuation method, fair value is estimated by deriving the present value of the business using reasonable assumptions of expected future cash flows and the terminal value, and the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate that quantifies the risk inherent to the business. The discount rate is estimated with reference to the market risk-free rate, a risk adjusted premium and information specific to the business or market sector. DCF is mostly used to estimate fair value of project-based cash-flow driven businesses.
Net Asset Value
The net assets methodology (NAV) involves estimating fair value of equity investment in private portfolio company as its book value at reporting date. This method is appropriate for businesses whose value derives mainly from the underlying value of its assets and the assets are already carried at their fair value (usually fair valuation of assets is performed by professional third-party valuers) on the balance sheet.
Validation
Fair value of investment estimated using one of the valuation methods described above is triangulated using several other valuation methods as follows:
Ø Listed peer group multiples - peer multiples such as P/E, P/B (price to book) and dividend yield are applied to respective metrics of the investment being valued. The company develops fair value range based on these techniques and analyses whether fair value estimated above falls within this range.
Ø Discounted cash flow (DCF) - Discounted cash flow valuation method is used to determine fair value of equity investment. Under discounted cash flow analysis unobservable inputs are used, such as estimates of probable future cash flows and internally-developed discounting rate of return. Based on DCF, the company might make upward or downward adjustment to the value of valuation target as derived from primary valuation method. If fair value estimated using discounted cash flow analysis significantly differs from the fair value estimate derived using primary valuation method, the difference is examined thoroughly, and judgement is applied in estimating fair value at the measurement date.

[1] 29 May 2018, Georgia Capital's listing date on the London Stock Exchange is the starting point for 10-year return calculation.
[2] Georgia Capital PLC is our UK holding company whose principal subsidiary is JSC Georgia Capital, Georgian holding company for our operating businesses.
[3]The Group operates as a holding company of a diversified group of companies focused on acquiring and developing businesses in Georgia, and its strategy is to exit portfolio companies over a five to ten year time horizon - it is not in the business of managing or owning portfolio companies indefinitely. As such, and in order to present our results in the most relevant and useful way for our investors, we have elected to also provide a set of management accounts that adjust the IFRS results to present Georgia Capital on a holding company basis ("management accounts"). Our Group level discussion therefore focuses more on the management accounts, whereas, at the portfolio company level we present IFRS financial statements for each company and our discussion focuses on IFRS results. Georgia Capital meets investment entity definition under IFRS from 31 December 2019 and as a result, the accounting basis was changed from consolidation to fair value measurement effective on that date. The application of this exception brings Georgia Capital's IFRS financial statements more into line with the management accounts. For details on the change in accounting basis please refer to page 8. To provide full transparency and appropriate balance between our management account and IFRS discussion, a full reconciliation of our holding company basis management accounts to the IFRS statements is provided on page 22.
