MAR

Key events during the quarter

  • On June 1, VEF’s shares commenced trading on Nasdaq Stockholm’s Main Market. A key event in VEF’s journey to be the leading investor in the future of finance across the emerging world.
  • VEF issued SEK 500 mln sustainability bonds to invest in financial inclusion. We are proud that our capital is having a positive impact on access to fair and affordable financial services.
  • During the quarter VEFs NAV decreased with 40% driven by the sell-off in financial markets causing multiples for comparable companies to materially derate.
  • VEF deployed an additional USD 6.6 mln into the current portfolio. Follow-on investments were made into Juspay (USD 4.1 mln), Magnetis (USD 1.0 mln), FinanZero (USD 1.0 mln) and Abhi (USD 0.5 mln).

Net asset value

  • NAV of VEF’s portfolio decreased during 1H22 to USD 441.2 mln (YE21 761.7). NAV per share decreased by 42% to USD 0.42 (YE21: 0.73) per share during 1H22.
  • In SEK, NAV decreased to 4,483 mln (YE21: 6,885). NAV per share decreased by 35% to SEK 4.30 (YE21: 6.61) per share during 1H22.
  • Cash position, including liquidity investments, was USD 64.1 mln (YE21: 61.8) at the end of 1H22.

Financial result

  • Net result for 2Q22 was USD -296.6 mln (2Q21: 0.5). Earnings per share were USD -0.28 (2Q21: 0.00).
  • Net result for 1H22 was USD -320.7 mln (1H21: 15.8). Earnings per share were USD -0.31 (1H21: 0.02).

The negative financial result for the quarter was driven by the sell-off in financial markets causing multiples for comparable companies to materially derate. This sell-off has been the main driver of each of the portfolio company valuation moves during the quarter. Aside from peer valuation multiple contraction, delivery at VEF portfolio company level has remained strong.
