· NAV decreased to EUR 13.38 per share, corresponding to EUR 919.9 million
· Portfolio revaluations (-2.2%, with Esentia contributing the largest impact of -1.3%) and unfavorable currency movements (-0.3%) weighed on NAV

In November, the NAV of PGPE Ltd declined by 2.8% on a total return basis. This was driven by the revaluation of listed holdings, primarily that of Esentia Energy Development ("Esentia"), a fully integrated natural gas pipeline network in Mexico. Unfavorable currency movements also contributed to the decline in NAV.
Esentia began trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange on 20 November 2025, following the pricing of its initial public offering ("IPO"), representing the largest Latin American IPO in 2025. Esentia's IPO priced at MXN 45 per share. Despite the share price being c. 5% up by month end, the company's carrying value in PGPE Ltd is below the pre-IPO carrying value, weighing on the NAV development in November. Partners Group has been invested in Esentia since 2014 and has overseen several major value creation initiatives, which has transformed Esentia from a developer and builder of natural gas pipeline assets to a leading pipeline operator. Today, Esentia's natural gas pipeline network transports approximately 16% of Mexico's daily natural gas demand and operates the largest privately held, interconnected gas system in Mexico, which delivers low-cost gas into the industrial high-demand regions of the country.
Over the same period, PGPE Ltd received EUR 9.6 million as part of the proceeds from Partners Group's full exit of its minority stake in Apex Logistics ("Apex"), the integrated global logistics provider. The transaction valued Apex at an enterprise value of over USD 4 billion. Since its initial investment in 2021, Partners Group supported the transformation of Apex into a global logistics platform. Key initiatives included enhancing technology and capabilities to serve global blue-chip clients, increasing charter-flight capacity to enable greater agility and customer responsiveness, and investing in operations. This has helped drive strong growth at Apex, with EBITDA increasing 151% over the last five years.
EUR 5.6 million came from a further sale of shares of Galderma, a pure-play dermatology category leader. As of 30 November 2025, the remaining NAV of Galderma in the portfolio of PGPE Ltd is EUR 20.3 million. Recently, Galderma reported record third-quarter net sales of over USD 3.7 billion, up 15% year-on-year on a constant currency basis, driven by volume growth and a favorable sales mix.
Finally, PGPE Ltd invested EUR 2.8 million in Omie, a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise resource planning ("ERP") software solutions for small and medium-sized companies ("SMBs") in Brazil. Founded in 2013, Omie supports the digitalization of SMBs in Brazil by providing a cloud-based, end-to-end solution to automate a range of "mission-critical" business processes. In addition, it offers embedded finance solutions such as cash management, payment processing, and credit solutions to its clients through banking-as-a-service partners. Omie has a diversified customer base with around 180,000 clients, and benefits from strong thematic tailwinds including rising digitization amongst SMBs. In line with its entrepreneurial governance approach, Partners Group will support the management team in implementing several value creation initiatives. These include accelerating new client acquisitions and increasing same-client growth.
