Commenting on the results, Patrick O'Donnell Bourke, Chairman, said: "We are pleased to report another strong year for the Company. This performance, in a continued period of market uncertainty, reflects the resilience of our diversified portfolio and the strength of our investment approach, which continues to deliver returns above our target. The successful realisation of Calpine and early value crystallisation from Intersect Power mark important milestones, reinforcing our ability to recycle capital effectively while supporting a progressive dividend and long-term value creation for shareholders."
Richard Sem, Partner at Pantheon and PINT's investment manager, comments on the portfolio and performance: "The portfolio delivered a strong performance over the year, generating a NAV total return of 14.4%, significantly exceeding our target. Performance reflects both the inherent resilience of the infrastructure asset class and the benefits of our diversified, yet focused, portfolio construction. While macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain, including continued volatility in global energy markets and supply chains linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, our emphasis on assets supported by long term, contracted revenues, regulatory underpinning and robust counterparties continues to provide meaningful defensive characteristics. The year saw continued progress on PINT's strategy of value realisation, including the successful execution of both the Calpine and Intersect Power transactions. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the long term investment case for infrastructure, with the portfolio well positioned to benefit from structural tailwinds such as digitalisation and the growing demand for power."

CHAIR'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am pleased to present the annual report for Pantheon Infrastructure Plc for the year ended 31 December 2025. We are proud of the fact that the Company has again delivered NAV Total Returns in excess of its pre‑IPO target, as it has done in each year that it has been fully invested.
While the market environment for listed infrastructure investment companies remains challenging, the Company has continued to demonstrate the resilience of its portfolio and the strength of its differentiated investment strategy. At the year end, the Company's NAV per share was 130.4p. Accounting for dividends of 4.273p per share paid during the year to 31 December 2025, this represents a NAV Total Return of 14.4% since 31 December 2024. Earnings per share during the year were 16.6p per share.
We started the year with a share price of 89.4p and were pleased to see a strong recovery to 108.5p at year end, a narrowing of the discount to NAV from 24.5% to 16.8%. Together with dividends paid, this represents a shareholder return of 26.8% for the year.
During the year, the Company completed a new investment into Intersect Power, reflecting the Board and Investment Manager's conviction in opportunities across energy transition, power infrastructure and digital demand.
The attractiveness of this opportunity was confirmed by the announcement of a partial exit at the end of the year, at a material premium to entry cost in less than three months, representing a Distribution to Paid-in Capital (DPI) ratio of 1.2x and reinforcing the Company's strategy to recycle capital proceeds into new investments.
Earlier in the year, the Company also announced its first realisation through the sale of its investment in Calpine Corporation to Constellation Energy Corporation ("Constellation"). Following completion of the sale early in 2026, the Company retains residual exposure to shares in Constellation. As this represents a material component of the Portfolio, movements in Constellation's share price have a meaningful impact on the Company's NAV. The Constellation share price has been volatile during the year and subsequent to the year end, reflecting broader volatility in AI-related sectors and disruption in global energy markets due to the conflict in the Middle East. Ignoring changes in any other investments, a $10 change in Constellation's share price equates to a change in PINT's NAV of approximately 0.5p per share.
The strong operational performance across the Portfolio continued to translate into increased EBITDA, NAV Total Returns and robust cash flow generation, supporting dividend payments and improved liquidity for reinvestment. Cash dividend cover during the year approached 1.1x, without the benefit of any proceeds from realisations.
The improved cover reflects the increasing maturity and cash-generative nature of the Company's assets. Further details of dividend cover for the year can be found in the Investment Manager's report on page 40 in the annual report.
Progress during the year in relation to the Company's first realisation, together with ongoing engagement with shareholders regarding capital allocation priorities and with the Investment Manager on attractive pipeline opportunities, underpins the Board's confidence in the Company's outlook and its ability to deliver long-term value for shareholders.
Economic environment
The conflict in the Middle East has the potential to cause substantial disruption on a global scale, both societally and economically. A sustained oil price shock will likely result in further inflation and higher, rather than lower, interest rates. Furthermore, bond yield volatility and concerns around fiscal sustainability continue to influence investor sentiment across listed markets, including infrastructure investment companies.
Against this backdrop, demand for reliable, scalable and low-carbon power infrastructure has continued to accelerate, driven in large part by the rapid expansion of data centres and AI-related computing requirements.
This dynamic has further strengthened the investment case for certain assets within the Portfolio, particularly those with long-term contracted revenues and strong counterparties.
Calpine realisation
The Company's first major realisation, relating to its investment in Calpine, completed after the year end. In January 2026, PINT received $28.5 million in cash and over 325,000 Constellation shares, of which 50% are subject to lock-up until July 2026 and the remaining 50% until July 2027. The completion of the sale represents an important milestone in the Company's development. As at 31 December 2025, the Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) was 3.0x.
As mentioned earlier, the transaction results in residual exposure to shares in Constellation, reflecting the structure of the sale. The Company was issued with its Constellation shares directly, which provides flexibility around the disposal of the shares in the future and potentially implementing hedging initiatives.
Investor sentiment and discount management
This remains a challenging time for the investment trust sector, which is characterised by sustained discounts to NAV, limited access to new capital, and a contraction in aggregate sector size through buybacks, tender offers and the wind-up of a number of vehicles, either following strategic reviews or discontinuation votes. Against this backdrop, the Board takes some comfort from the Company's relative performance, with a share price total return over the year of 26.8% and from the narrowing of the Company's discount to NAV over the course of the year.
Nevertheless, the Board remains of the view that the prevailing discount means the share price does not reflect the underlying value of the Portfolio.
In the Company's IPO prospectus, the Company set out a discount control framework under which the Board stated its intention, following the third full financial year after IPO, to use excess cash flows from realised net gains to buy back shares should a discount wider than 5% persist over any financial year.
In this regard, consideration will be given to, amongst other things, the prevailing market conditions; the estimated performance of the portfolio since the last NAV calculation date; the degree of NAV accretion that would result from the buy-back; the Company's cash resources; the immediate pipeline of investment opportunities open to the Company; the level of the Company's existing borrowings and its working capital requirements. This framework continues to inform the Board's approach to capital allocation, in conjunction with views from shareholders.
The Board considers it important to emphasise that it remains committed to take action to address a discount where prevailing market conditions justify doing so, taking into account and weighing carefully those factors noted above.
During the year, the Board did not undertake any further share buybacks but continues to reserve £9.2 million capital to do so. The Board and the Investment Manager are currently seeing a strong case for making new investments, and feedback from shareholders has indicated broad support for the Company to continue to deploy capital selectively into such opportunities where this is expected to enhance long-term value creation. At the same time, the Board remains mindful of its responsibility to manage the Company's share price discount and retains flexibility to consider share buybacks should market conditions warrant such action in the future.
Portfolio performance and dividends
During the year, the Company completed one new investment into Intersect Power, reflecting its focus on assets with long-term contracted revenues, strong counterparties and attractive risk-adjusted returns. Overall Portfolio performance was driven by continued strong operational delivery with valuation gains across a number of core assets, reflecting both asset-specific execution and favourable structural tailwinds. This included the announced sale, at a material premium to NAV, of the majority of Intersect Power's assets to Alphabet only three months after acquisition.
Valuation uplifts were also recorded at Vantage Data Centers and CyrusOne, both of which continue to benefit from accelerating demand for hyperscale and AI-driven data centre capacity.
At Vantage, value creation was underpinned by contracted revenue growth, including the noteworthy Stargate campus development announced alongside Oracle and OpenAI. At CyrusOne, performance reflected sustained leasing momentum, strong cash flow generation and the strategic importance of its assets within an increasingly capacity‑constrained market.
Our investment in National Gas also made a positive contribution to performance, supported by the company's critical role within the UK's energy infrastructure, its stable regulated cash flows, a favourable outcome for the upcoming regulatory price control period, and increasing strategic relevance as the energy system adapts to support decarbonisation and security of supply.
Performance across the Portfolio has not all been positive. Cartier Energy's performance remains under expected plan, although the company has shown encouraging signs of recovery following the adoption of a more prudent and sustainable business plan. Delta Fiber encountered challenges around customer adoption and regulatory challenges arising from a proposed partial asset sale; however, it has been encouraging to see the company's Sponsor work constructively through these issues. At Vertical Bridge, while the long-term investment thesis remains intact, valuation growth has been curtailed by the upfront impact of the acquisition of the sizeable Verizon portfolio in the prior year.
Taken together, these experiences underline the importance of portfolio diversification and active asset management, with challenges in individual assets being balanced by strength elsewhere in the Portfolio and addressed through constructive engagement with experienced Sponsors.
The Portfolio delivered net cash flows of £22.5 million (31 December 2024: £12.8 million), supporting further improvement in dividend cover to 1.1x, as detailed in the Investment Manager's report on page 40 in the annual report. The Company has declared a second interim dividend of 2.173p per share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025 making a total of 4.346p per share for the full year. The Board remains committed to dividend progression while maintaining an open dialogue with shareholders on future policy.
Oversight of the investment process and strategy
The Board continues to prioritise active oversight of the investment process and maintains close engagement with the Investment Manager. During the year, the Directors again participated in asset-level engagement and sponsor meetings, providing valuable insight into Portfolio performance, governance and risk management. In September 2025, all members of the Board joined the Investment Manager on a site visit to National Broadband Ireland (NBI), providing the opportunity to engage directly with management on the ground and to gain first-hand insight into the operational delivery of one of the Company's portfolio assets. The visit reinforced the Board's confidence in the quality of execution, the robustness of governance arrangements and the strategic importance of NBI's role in delivering critical digital infrastructure across Ireland.
The Board remains vigilant as to the level of investment management fees payable across the sector, particularly given recent changes amongst some of the Company's peer group. As part of its responsibilities, the Management Engagement Committee (MEC) undertook a review of the investment management fees payable to the Investment Manager. Given the Company's investment strategy and continued strong performance, the Board satisfied itself that the fees payable are competitive and that the link to the Company's NAV remains appropriate, and will continue to keep this under review.
Regulatory environment
The regulatory landscape for investment trusts remained an important area of focus during the year, with ongoing developments in disclosure requirements and the introduction of the Consumer Composite Investment regime.
In this context, the Board was encouraged by recent progress on investment company cost disclosures, following constructive engagement between a number of industry bodies and the Financial Conduct Authority. The resulting clarification represents a positive and pragmatic outcome, addressing the long-standing issue of inappropriate double counting of costs for closed-ended investment companies.
The Board hopes and expects that this development will lead to clearer, more meaningful disclosures for investors, improve comparability across products and support a fairer regulatory environment for investment companies, which in turn should help to further rebuild investor confidence in the sector over time.
Shareholder engagement
Engagement with shareholders remains a core responsibility of the Board. Shortly after the year end, Anne Baldock, Senior Independent Director (SID), and I met some of the Company's largest shareholders. These discussions provided valuable insight into shareholder perspectives and reinforced the importance of maintaining an open and constructive dialogue, particularly in relation to capital allocation priorities and discount management.
The Board welcomes ongoing engagement with shareholders and encourages contact through the Company Secretary or our registered office should shareholders wish to raise matters or request meetings.
Board composition
During the year, the Board implemented planned changes in its composition to support continuity, effective succession and the ongoing development of the Company's governance framework.
I became Chair of the Company in June 2025, following Vagn Sørensen's decision to step down as Chair. The Board would like to record its gratitude to Mr Sørensen for his strong leadership and contribution during a formative period in the Company's development.
Early in the year, Anthony Bickerstaff was appointed to the Board and assumed the role of Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee in June 2025, bringing with him extensive experience in financial oversight and risk management. At the same time, the Board was also pleased to welcome Sapna Shah as a new Director, further strengthening the Board's breadth of experience and perspectives. Ms Shah brings an extensive understanding of the investment company sector.
The Board remains committed to maintaining an appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and diversity, and will continue to keep its composition under regular review to ensure it remains well positioned to oversee the Company's strategy and support long-term value creation.
Outlook
The long-term investment case for infrastructure remains highly compelling. Structural demand driven by digitalisation, energy transition, decarbonisation, and the need for resilient power and communications networks continues to create a substantial and durable opportunity set for long-term investors.
While near-term market conditions remain uncertain and valuation volatility is likely to persist, particularly for assets with public market exposure, the Board believes there are good reasons to be optimistic. The completion of the Calpine sale, the Company's investment into Intersect Power and the validation provided by long-term arrangements with high-quality counterparties, including global technology companies, provide clear evidence of the strategic value and relevance of the Portfolio.
The Board believes that these developments, together with continued operational performance and progress on capital recycling, should support increasing recognition of the Company's underlying value. In this context, the Board sees a clear rationale for the Company's share price discount to continue to narrow as confidence builds in the sustainability of cash flows, the credibility of NAV and the delivery of realisations.
Looking ahead, the Company is well positioned to benefit from the very significant investment opportunities available in private infrastructure markets. The Investment Manager has deep relationships, proven execution capability and a track record of accessing differentiated transactions, particularly in sectors benefiting from long‑term structural tailwinds.
The Board believes that disciplined reinvestment into high-quality infrastructure opportunities offers the potential to deliver superior long-term value for shareholders, while maintaining flexibility to respond to market conditions, including through discount management where appropriate. The Board believes that patience, discipline and continued execution against the Company's strategy should, over time, be rewarded through improved investor confidence, a further narrowing of the share price discount to NAV and the delivery of attractive long‑term returns for shareholders.

Investment Manager's report
Portfolio1
PINT has constructed a diversified global portfolio with a focus on developed market OECD countries, with all investments currently in Western Europe and North America. Over the medium term, the Investment Manager expects, in line with the initial prospectus, the composition of the Portfolio to include investments in the following sub-sectors: Digital Infrastructure, Power & Utilities, Transport & Logistics, Renewables & Energy Efficiency, and Social & Other Infrastructure.
As at 31 December 2025, the Company had a total of £620.0 million invested or committed across 14 investments.
The Portfolio is diversified across sectors and geographies, and the Investment Manager believes that it is well positioned to withstand any external market challenges. The investments typically benefit from defensive characteristics including long-term contracted cash flows, inflation protection and robust capital structures.
Seven investments are in Digital Infrastructure, representing 39% of NAV, across the data centre, towers and fibre sub‑sectors. Three investments, representing 29%, are in the Power & Utilities sector including: gas transmission, district heating and electricity generation. Three investments are in Renewables & Energy Efficiency (22%) and the remaining investment is in Transport & Logistics (10%).
The largest geographical exposure is in North America (46%), with the remaining exposure in Europe (39%) and the UK (15%).
NAV pence per share movement (year to 31 December 2025)
NAV increased over the year by 12.3p per share (year to 31 December 2024: 11.5p per share), after adjusting for the dividends paid of 4.3p per share over the year (year to 31 December 2024: 4.1p per share). The movement in the year was principally driven by fair value gains of 17.6p per share (year to 31 December 2024: 17.5p per share), partially offset by foreign exchange movements of (0.9)p per share (year to 31 December 2024: (1.1)p per share), attributable principally to the weakening of USD during the year, which was offset by a 1.9p per share movement from the foreign exchange hedging programme (year to 31 December 2024: 1.1p per share).
There was no NAV impact from share buybacks in the year (year to 31 December 2024: 0.2p per share). Finance income contributed 0.1p per share (year to 31 December 2024: 0.0p per share), and operating expenses resulted in a reduction of (2.1)p per share (year to 31 December 2024: (2.2p) per share), resulting in a closing NAV of 130.4p per share, after the payment of dividends. This excludes the impact of the second interim dividend for the year to 31 December 2025 of 2.173p per share, which is to be paid on 24 April 2026.

£58m PINT NAV 31 December 2025
1.5x MOIC 31 December 2025
21.03.22 Date of commitment
Specialised temperature‑controlled transportation and logistics company in Europe primarily focused on the export of fresh fruit and vegetables from Iberia to Northern Europe.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Niche market leader providing an essential service to resilient end markets. The company has demonstrated strong organic growth over a 15+ year operating history, including during major economic dislocations (2008‑2009 global financial crisis and 2020‑2021 Covid-19). The essential nature of Primafrio's market and its operations provides strong downside protection.
· Value creation opportunities include inorganic growth, strategic M&A and continued investment in Primafrio's cold storage logistics infrastructure footprint.
Performance update
Primafrio saw total volumes increase, along with a recovery in margins resulting from falling fuel and leasing costs. The company currently operates nine logistics centres with a total floor area exceeding 1.5 million m2. Utilisation of the company's new facilities, including 112,000 m2 across Belfort and Valencia opened in 2024 and 15,000 m2 in Lleida opened in early 2026, is expected to ramp up over the coming year as management focus on further potential growth opportunities.

28.03.22 Date of commitment
Operates more than 50 high‑performance data centres representing more than four million sq ft of capacity across North America and Europe.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Growth in data usage continues to drive data centre demand. In particular, the hyperscale segment represents a strong growth opportunity due to increasing cloud adoption and increasingly data‑heavy technologies (5G, AI, gaming, video streaming).
· Benefits from defensive characteristics such as long‑term contracts with a largely investment‑grade credit‑quality customer base, price escalators and limited historical customer churn.
Performance update
CyrusOne's excellent performance since PINT's investment has continued with the company benefiting considerably from AI‑related tailwinds. The strong demand for data centre capacity continues to support highly favourable pricing for established developers, making for a favourable trading environment. A chief focus remains on ensuring sufficient availability of power and capital to meet increased demand. The company has entered into a number of strategic relationships with large energy utilities, including Eolian and Calpine, in order to accelerate the timeline for development.

£51m PINT NAV 31 December 2025
1.5x MOIC 31 December 2025
28.03.22 Date of commitment
The owner and operator of the UK's sole gas transmission network, regulated by Ofgem, and an independent, highly contracted metering business.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Stable inflation‑linked cash flows with returns positively correlated to inflation.
· Strong downside protection; regulatory framework allows for the recovery of costs and a minimum return on capital. The company also holds a monopolistic position through sole ownership of the UK's gas transmission network.
· Significant growth opportunity. The transmission system is expected to play a leading role in any future transition from natural gas to hydrogen. The company hopes to support the expansion of hydrogen's role in the energy mix while working closely with the government and Ofgem to maintain security of supply.
Performance update
Following submission of its business plan in December 2024, National Gas received Ofgem's final determination for RIIO-GT3 in December 2025. The final determination allowed a baseline funding level of £3.2 billion, following a draft determination of £2.5 billion. A decision is still awaited from government in relation to the blending of up to 20% hydrogen in the existing gas transmission network and investments related to hydrogen and CO2 are expected to be agreed under a standalone regulatory control framework. However, it is expected that blending up to 2% hydrogen will be approved for commencement as soon as 2026.

The largest private owner and operator of towers and other wireless infrastructure in the US, with more than 18,000 owned towers across the country.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Track record of organic and inorganic growth: since its founding in 2014, Vertical Bridge has been one of the most active acquirers and 'build‑to‑suit' (BTS) developers amongst tower companies and expects to further accelerate these activities.
· 5G build-out supporting continued growth: US carrier annual capex is forecast to increase materially, prioritising macro towers in the 5G rollout.
· Top‑tier management team and Sponsor: key members of Vertical Bridge and DigitalBridge (including both CEOs) have worked together since 2003.
Performance update
Vertical Bridge continues with the integration of the portfolio acquired from Verizon at the end of 2024, which represented an increase of approximately 6,000 towers. Management views the acquired portfolio as highly complementary to the company's existing assets, citing strong strategic synergies and the significant lease-up potential, given its currently low tenancy ratio. The business's primary growth focus now is on increasing co‑location revenues, which have grown materially year on year and will be augmented by its BTS programme, driven by expanding partnerships with major mobile network operators focused on accelerating 5G deployment.

26.04.22 Date of commitment
Owner and operator of fixed telecom infrastructure in the Netherlands, providing broadband, TV, telephone and mobile services to retail and wholesale customers over a predominantly fibre network.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· High-quality fibre network with high barriers to entry as a regional leader in its core footprint of suburban and rural areas with historically high penetration and low churn rates.
· Well positioned to capitalise on extensive rollout programme via first‑mover advantage in its core markets, exhibited through its track record of fast build rates and ramp up of construction capacity.
Performance update
Delta Fiber has substantially completed its network rollout, delivering the project on time and within budget. With the build phase now behind it, the business is shifting focus from development to steady-state operations. Against a backdrop of competitive pressure from continued overbuild and aggressive retention discounts by competitors, the company is prioritising increased customer adoption to drive penetration. Alongside efforts to enhance network densification through its retail business, Delta Fiber sees further wholesale network sharing agreements - such as those already established with Odido (formerly T-Mobile Netherlands) and, more recently, VodafoneZiggo - as key growth levers.

23.05.22 Date of commitment
Platform of eight district energy systems located across the Northeast, Mid‑Atlantic and Midwest of the US.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Gross margin structure underpinned by availability‑based fixed‑capacity payments and consumption charges and pass‑through pricing mechanism limits commodity price exposure, providing robust downside protection.
· Predominantly 'sticky' customer base with an average relationship tenure of ~15‑20 years and ~10‑12-year average remaining contractual life.
· Provides customers with a path to decarbonisation and increased thermal efficiency.
Performance update
Cartier has entered a period of operational stability following a challenging start. The business has benefited from more stable hot water and steam volumes this year, alongside incremental gains from rising chilled water demand and favourable capacity market pricing, bringing financial performance on existing assets closer to original underwriting expectations. A new business plan has been agreed with management, shifting away from large-scale growth opportunities towards smaller infill opportunities, resulting in a moderated growth outlook.

Independent power producer with c.26GW of principally gas-fired generating capacity, including c.770MW of operational renewables.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Vital supplier to the US electricity grid, providing reliable power generation capacity and playing an important role in the energy transition as many US corporations target net‑zero carbon emissions by 2050. Calpine benefits from highly predictable, diversified cash flows underpinned by contracts supported by a robust hedging programme.
· Strong renewables development pipeline of solar and battery storage projects, financeable through the cash flows generated by existing assets, which are projected to nearly triple its renewables power generation capacity over the next five to six years.
Performance update
Calpine continues to benefit favourably from increased demand from AI data centres, which has dramatically shifted the long-term outlook for base load power generators. The sale to Constellation was announced in January 2025 and completed after PINT's year end in January 2026, with PINT receiving $28.5 million in cash and approximately 325,000 Constellation shares, 50% of which are locked up until July 2026 and the remainder until July 2027. The combined entity has 55GW of generation capacity across nuclear, gas, geothermal and other renewable technologies. Constellation's operational performance remains strong, supported by growing recognition of nuclear energy's role in powering the data economy.

Leading provider of wholesale data centre infrastructure to large enterprises and hyperscale cloud providers.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Secular data usage growth through increasing cloud adoption and increasing data‑heavy technologies continue to drive data centre demand.
· Strong growth pipeline from favourable existing relationships with hyperscale customers.
· Downside protection from strong position in supply-constrained core geographies, long‑term contracts with investment‑grade counterparties and low customer churn due to high switching costs and barriers to entry.
Performance update
Vantage continues to deliver strong growth, supported by resilient demand and disciplined execution with the business maintaining high occupancy and leasing momentum. During the year, the company announced plans to develop a 1GW data centre campus in Wisconsin in partnership with OpenAI, as part of its Stargate expansion of up to 4.5GW. The project has secured 100% of its required power from We Energies at a dedicated rate. To address growing power constraints and accelerate capacity deployment, Vantage has partnered with Liberty Energy and VoltaGrid to deliver over 2GW of off-grid power across its portfolio, accelerating RFS (ready-for-service) dates across a number of key developments.

25.07.22 Date of commitment
Dutch market-leading owner and provider of medium‑voltage electricity infrastructure to business customers, with a focus on transformers, metering devices and related data services.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Highly stable inflation‑linked cash flows from large and diversified locked‑in customer base with long-term contracts, low churn and inflation protection.
· Strong downside protection with a quasi‑monopoly positioning in its core regional markets characterised by high barriers to entry.
· Energy efficiency and decarbonisation tailwinds driving growth opportunities to broaden service offering to customers including EV charging, solar panels, heat pumps and battery storage.
Performance update
Fudura's profitability continues to track slightly ahead of plan, driven by higher margins on its core transformer business, despite grid congestion proving to be a major bottleneck for the company's medium‑voltage infrastructure offering. This performance has been partially offset by a slower rollout to date of the adjacent product lines that formed a key pillar of the investment thesis. The company completed a €765 million refinancing in Q4 2025, enabling a substantial dividend distribution. The new financing will also support the continued expansion of the company's energy infrastructure portfolio.

Fibre-to-the-premises network developer and operator working with the Irish Government to support the rollout of the National Broadband Plan, targeting connection to 560,000 rural homes.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Stable cash flows with inflation protection expected through the terms of the project agreement with regard to the prices National Broadband Ireland (NBI) can charge to ISPs for access.
· Downside protection through a unique positioning in the intervention area (the franchise area granted by the Irish Government) and a flexible government subsidy regime.
· Attractive macro trends including increased remote working, demographics and growth in fibre broadband take‑up to date underpin the long‑term commercial viability of the network.
Performance update
The rollout of the National Broadband Plan - NBI's partnership with the Irish Government - remains on plan and on budget, with deployment now around 80% complete. A large number of ISPs are now available on the network and nationwide marketing campaigns are now underway. The company continues to experience favourable take-up, with penetration rates higher than levels predicted at this stage of the rollout, with the expectation that the remaining equity commitment to the company will not be required.

Largest tower operator and telecom infrastructure network in Western Europe with c.40,000 tower sites across Germany, now known as Deutsche Funkturm, and Austria, now known as Towers Infra Austria.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Majority of cash flows are contracted and index-linked, offering strong downside protection in challenging macroeconomic conditions.
· Favourable market tailwinds from regulatory‑driven 5G coverage requirements with significant growth opportunities.
· Organic and inorganic growth opportunities arising from acquisition opportunities from other market participants and numerous consolidation opportunities in Europe.
Performance update
GD Towers continues to perform broadly in line with the original investment case. The business has made significant progress in streamlining its BTS operations, significantly reducing lead times and addressing a key improvement area identified in the initial business plan. The company is now shifting its focus to managing unitary capex in light of cost inflation. Co-location revenues have also increased, driven by a strategic focus on expanding relationships with mobile network operators beyond Deutsche Telekom. The company completed a €2.5 billion debt refinancing during the period, resulting in a substantial dividend distribution.

Leading pan-Nordic wholesale and retail telecoms business with extensive fibre network and data centre portfolio.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Majority of cash flows are contracted and index‑linked, offering downside protection in challenging macroeconomic conditions.
· Favourable market tailwinds from fibre adoption trends across retail and business customers, with significant growth opportunities and long‑term secured revenues, protecting its market position.
· Organic and inorganic growth opportunities arising from rural fibre rollout, growing demand for larger bandwidth and numerous consolidation opportunities.
Performance update
In line with its focus on optimal allocation of capital given the varied dynamics of the markets it operates in, the company decided to withdraw from the German FTTP market. This has resulted in the business performing below plan due to lower revenues and an expected lower terminal value as a result. The company is instead refocusing on core markets as well as focusing on Finland, where FTTH adoption lags the rest of the Nordic market. The company launched a sale process in the second half of 2025, with a partial sale of the asset anticipated in 2026.

Zenobē provides essential infrastructure that contributes to international power and transport sector decarbonisation targets.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Substantial and growing market opportunity driven by significant capex required to meet demand for EV bus charging and electricity grid stability.
· Market leader in core regions in a high-growth sector with attractive expansion opportunities.
· Downside protection and inflation protection via long‑term availability‑style contracts with high-quality counterparties.
· Significant overseas growth potential in the US and Europe.
Performance update
Zenobē continues to regularly secure high‑profile contracts, though overall profitability is currently tracking behind the entry plan. This is primarily due to slower‑than‑expected growth in the bus segment and revenue volatility in battery trading, which has impacted the network infrastructure side of the business. Management remains confident in a recovery on the bus side, supported by strong customer relationships and the sector's decarbonisation obligations. Meanwhile, the company has made substantial progress in gearing up for international growth, now targeting projects in Europe as well as North America.

US based developer and operator of co‑located power infrastructure, with 2.2GWp solar and 1.4GWh battery capacity.
Investment thesis and value creation strategy1
· Attractive risk-adjusted returns with strong downside protection from its Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) and sizeable operating portfolio, alongside credible upside potential from its development pipeline.
· Highly experienced management team with more than 20 years of experience.
· Secured equipment from domestic supply chain protected from tariffs.
Performance update
Intersect is well positioned to benefit from increasing demand for hyperscale data centres, as well as increasing base load power requirements driven by cloud computing and AI-related tailwinds. Performance during the period was supported by continued progress across its data centre development projects. The sale of the company's pipeline of energy and data centre projects was announced in December 2025.
The transaction completed in March 2026, with PINT remaining invested in the business operating the retained generation assets, which has been rebranded as IPX Power. Asset development is expected to continue broadly as planned, with projects selectively retained and progressed, and the expectation that all portfolio assets will be sold upon the completion of the under-construction projects.

Performance
Portfolio movement
During the year, the Portfolio generated underlying growth of £82.6 million, reflecting a 15.5% movement on the opening capital invested, adjusted for capital calls and investments totalling £28.5 million, but before adjusting for distributions to PINT totalling £31.1 million.
Movements in foreign exchange values resulted in a foreign exchange loss of £3.9 million (offset at a company level by a foreign exchange hedging gain of £8.9 million), resulting in a closing value of £607.8 million at 31 December 2025.
The Portfolio had a weighted average discount rate (WADR) of 12.7%1 at the year end (31 December 2024: 13.6%).
Portfolio cash flows
Over the medium term, the Company expects the Portfolio to generate cash flows both through distributions from its investments and from investment exits, the latter becoming realised in cash in due course through asset disposals. In turn, these cash flows are expected to support both the reinvestment of capital and a progressive dividend policy, or to manage the discount to NAV.
The Company's investment approach is to invest in assets with an expected hold period that is typically, but not always, five to seven years, after which it is expected to realise value by exiting positions according to the relevant Sponsor's time horizon. Whilst the Company does expect some of its investments to make distributions, cash generation is expected to be heavily weighted towards the receipt of sale proceeds at the point of investment exit, and in some cases, no distributions are forecast before exit.
The Company maintains a long-term forecast of both sources of cash flow, which is derived from either the Investment Manager's base case expectations or Sponsor updates where available. The latest projection of the Company's cash flows from the Portfolio is summarised on the next page, as at 31 December 2025.
The projection is based on existing investments only and does not factor in any potential for reinvestment of capital after realisations, which accordingly accounts for the downward trend of distributions after realisations occur.
Whilst these projections are intended to present a plausible long-term expectation of the Portfolio's cash flow generation, there is no guarantee around the quantum or timing of distributions or realisations, which remain dependent on multiple factors including underlying asset performance, exit timing and long-term FX rate assumptions. Accordingly, they should not be considered as guidance around financial performance.
Calpine sale
During the year, the Company announced the conditional sale of its investment in Calpine to Constellation, which was completed after the year end in January 2026.
As a result of tax planning around the completion of the sale, the Company elected to receive a distribution in kind of Constellation shares, which resulted in a reduction in the upfront cash consideration from approximately $35 million to $28.5 million, offset by the issuance of additional Constellation shares.
The Constellation stock issued to the Company is subject to lock-ups expiring in July 2026 (50%) and July 2027 (50%), and therefore the Company remains exposed to the performance of Constellation stock until at least those dates.
Until such time as the Company's effective holding in Constellation is partially or fully realised, or its exposure to Constellation is otherwise mitigated through hedging arrangements, PINT's NAV exposure is expected to be equivalent to a movement of approximately 0.5p per share for every $10 movement in the Constellation share price.
H2 2025 dividend
At IPO, the Company set out to target a NAV Total Return of 8-10% p.a. following full investment of the IPO proceeds, and an initial dividend of at least 2p per share for the first financial period ended 31 December 2022, rising to 4p per share for the year ended 31 December 2023, and a progressive dividend thereafter. In line with this, the Board recently declared the Company's second interim dividend of 2.173p per share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025, which is due to be paid on 24 April 2026.
Dividend cover
The Company uses a measure to assess dividend coverage by calculating the ratio of net cash flow to dividends declared in respect of a given period. This is calculated across the whole group, including the Company's subsidiary, Pantheon Infrastructure Holdings LP (PIH LP), through which the Company holds the majority of its investments.
Net cash flow for this purpose is calculated on a cash basis as income (the sum of all income and capital distributions that are not related to asset disposals, plus deposit interest income) plus disposal profits (realised profits on disposal, or disposal proceeds less original investment cost), less operating and financing (but excluding FX hedge settlements) expenses incurred during the same period.
On this basis, the Company's dividend cover for 2025 was 1.1x, as detailed below (year to 31 December 2024: 0.7x). The dividend cover has increased in the year due to higher Portfolio distributions. The Company expects material progression in cash flows from the Portfolio as realisations start to occur, which in turn is expected to flow through to increased dividend coverage.

Borrowings
In February 2026, the Company extended the term of its £115.0 million multi-currency RCF, to February 2029, effectively resetting the tenor at three years. The amendment also reduced the drawn margin from 2.85% to 2.65% per annum over the relevant currency benchmark rate or compounded reference rate. The RCF allows the Company to maintain liquidity for unfunded commitments and working capital requirements whilst minimising the inefficiencies of holding excessive cash. The RCF, which is secured on the assets of the Company, includes an uncommitted accordion feature, which will be accessible, subject to approval, by additional lenders, and is intended to increase over time in line with the Company's NAV progression.
Capital allocation
As at 31 December 2025, the Company had deployed a total of £9.2 million (out of a total commitment of £18.4 million), in buying back 11.4 million of its own shares. Repurchased shares are held in treasury and may be subsequently re‑issued if the Company's shares return to trading at a premium to NAV. At the year end, the Company continued to allow for the remaining £9.2 million allocated to share buybacks, as part of its liquidity management as detailed in the analysis presented opposite.
Cash and liquidity management
At the year end, the Company had total available liquidity of £120.0 million (31 December 2024: £138.8 million), comprising £5.0 million of cash (31 December 2024: £23.8 million) and £115.0 million (31 December 2024: £115.0 million) of undrawn RCF capacity.
The Company maintains a policy to hold liquidity sufficient to cover all investment commitments, including share buybacks, due in the next twelve months. At the year end, this amount totalled £21.4 million.
In addition to this, the Company has adopted a risk-based policy to hold specific cash buffers in respect of potential further liquidity requirements. These buffers include forecast operating costs, dividend payments, FX hedge settlements due (based on mark-to-market valuations), an allowance for emergency co-investment capital across the Portfolio, allowances for FX movements on undrawn non‑GBP commitments and amounts held against potential movements in the Company's FX hedging positions (calculated relative to notional amounts and contractual maturity). At the year end, these amounts totalled £82.4 million (31 December 2024: £87.5 million).
The net balance after taking account of all these considerations represents the funds available to the Company for further investment. As at the year end, this stood at £16.2 million (31 December 2024: £32.2 million). This has increased following the year end with receipt of the proceeds of the Calpine and Intersect disposals.

Ongoing charges
The Company's ongoing charges figure is calculated in accordance with the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) recommended methodology and was 1.28% for the year to 31 December 2025 (year to 31 December 2024: 1.29%).
Foreign exchange impact
In order to limit the potential impact from material movements in major foreign exchange rates on non‑local currency investments, the Company has put in place a foreign exchange hedging programme. The aim of this programme is to reduce (rather than eliminate) the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on the Company's NAV, and to this end, the Company has an internal policy to seek to limit its unhedged exposure to 25% of NAV at any time. Hedging is achieved through the execution of foreign exchange hedging contracts relative to the ongoing non-local currency investment exposure. This is subject to, inter alia, market liquidity and pricing for hedges, foreign exchange volatilities, the composition of the Company's portfolio and the Company's balance sheet.
The Company has entered into arrangements with seven hedging counterparties, all on an unsecured basis and subject only to margin calls if pre-specified credit limits are breached on an individual counterparty (not aggregate) basis. Furthermore, in line with the Investment Manager's risk policies, the Company has adopted a policy to maintain strict liquidity buffers in relation to these hedging positions to protect against extreme volatility‑driven margin requirements.
The depreciation of USD resulted in a negative foreign exchange movement in the year to 31 December 2025 of 0.9p per share (year to 31 December 2024: loss of 1.1p per share), which was offset by a gain on the hedging programme of 1.9p per share (year to 31 December 2024: gain of 1.1p per share).
Sensitivities
The Portfolio valuation is the largest component of the Company's NAV and is determined by valuations generally provided by the underlying investment Sponsors. These valuations are typically calculated on a discounted cash flow (DCF) basis, and are subject to a variety of underlying assumptions that are specific to the sector and characteristics of each Portfolio Company. The degree to which these long-term assumptions change or are adjusted has the potential to impact the Company's NAV. With this in mind, the Investment Manager regularly performs an analysis across the Portfolio to determine the Company's sensitivity to changes across key macroeconomic assumptions.
Discount rates
Discount rates are a measure of the relative risk of an investment and typically comprise a risk-free rate component along with a sector or project-specific equity risk premium, which is determined relative to specific project risks and benchmark transactions. In some cases, Sponsors use a WACC-based discount rate to derive an enterprise valuation which is then adjusted by net debt to give an equity value. The Company does not disclose individual discount rates but reports the Portfolio's aggregated WADR1, which at the year end was 12.7% (31 December 2024: 13.6%).
Inflation
The extent to which a Portfolio Company's existing revenues and costs are expected to inflate, or escalate, also impacts valuations. The escalation of revenues and costs is often determined through contractual arrangements, with measures including direct pass-through of a local inflation measure, fixed escalators, inflation linkage subject to escalation caps and/or floors, or no indexation at all. Where revenues and/or costs are directly linked to inflation, any changes to the inflation assumptions determined by Sponsors will impact on valuations. Sponsors typically utilise external economic forecasts or central bank guidance for inflation assumptions. Where revenues or costs are not contracted, escalation is determined by pricing power and therefore requires a greater degree of judgement.
Interest rate
Interest rate assumptions impact valuations if a Portfolio Company has an element of unhedged debt or expects to draw down on floating rate borrowing facilities within its business plan. Where this is the case, Sponsors will usually update valuations to reflect the latest projections for long‑term interbank lending, swap or risk-free rates.
1 Weighted average discount rate of 12.7% is based on the discount rate of each Portfolio Company investment at 31 December 2025, weighted on an investment fair value basis (excluding undrawn commitments) across all 14 investments, and adjusted for the component of Calpine relating to Constellation share consideration.
