NAV increases by 0.3% in March
· Net asset value increased by 0.3% to EUR 14.83 per share, total NAV at EUR 1'025.21 million
· Portfolio revaluations were positive (+0.5%) and currency movements were negative (-0.3%)
In March, Princess' NAV continued to develop positively and increased by 0.3%. The main contributor to the positive performance was KinderCare, the largest for-profit provider of early childhood education and care services in the US, whose valuation increased over the first quarter of 2023. Over the last twelve-month period ending January 2023, KinderCare reported double-digit growth in revenue and EBITDA, mainly attributable to strong enrolment rates.
Post-month end, on 19 April, the Board of Directors announced a first interim dividend of EUR 0.365 per share for FY 2023, in-line with previous guidance to distribute 5% of opening net asset value for each financial year, via semi-annual payments. The first interim dividend will be paid on 02 June 2023, with the corresponding ex-dividend date being 27 April 2023.
