Tikehau Capital Q1 2026 Announcement

Disciplined execution and continued strategic progress across the platform

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Tikehau Capital (Paris:TKO):

  

“In the first quarter of 2026, Tikehau Capital demonstrated its ability to generate value across market cycles. The successful exit of our Schroders investment, generating 64% Gross IRR and €239m of revenues over the holding period, the continued expansion of our Real Estate Debt franchise on both sides of the Atlantic, and the official launch of Tikehau Amova Investment Management reflect the maturity of our platform and the relevance of the strategic choices we have made in recent years.

 

Our flagship strategies continue to attract capital, and our portfolios are delivering solid underlying performance. Supported by a robust equity base, substantial dry powder and short-term resources, we are well-positioned to capture attractive opportunities across our markets.

 

As outlined during our Strategic Update, we are also actively working to further support the strategic development, growth and profitability of our Asset Management platform, including forging ties with global strategic partners.

 

We enter the rest of 2026 with a differentiated product pipeline, clear strategic priorities across geographies and asset classes, and strong confidence in the long-term fundamentals underpinning our business.”

 

Antoine Flamarion and Mathieu Chabran, co-founders of Tikehau Capital

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

  • Tikehau Capital investment portfolio amounted to €3.9bn as of 31 March 2026, compared to €4.4bn as of 31 December 2025. Over the quarter, the main variations in the portfolio were the following:
    • €83m of capital calls and investments, mainly driven by capital calls and investments into our Credit strategies as well as new ecosystem investments, notably one co-investment in a US cybersecurity and defense company;
    • €(484)m of returns of capital and exits, mainly linked to:
      • the exit of Schroders, generating €369m of returns of capital. Over the holding period, the investment delivered a 64% gross IRR and 1.65x gross MOIC and generated €239m in portfolio revenues5. As this investment had been revalued by €38m in prior periods, the net P&L impact in Q1 2026 amounts to €179m, after the reversal of previously recognized unrealized fair value gains
      • the successful reduction of our investment in EYSA, acquired through our Decarbonization strategy in Private Equity, demonstrating our ability to use our balance sheet to execute co-investments and thus enhance the profitability of our Asset Management platform
    • €(38)m of negative fair value changes on the remaining portfolio, reflecting positive revaluations for our Private Equity strategies and our co-investment in a leading US radiology services provider, offset by negative fair value changes related to some listed investments, including our listed REIT in Singapore
    • €26m of foreign exchange effects, linked to the appreciation of the USD and GBP against the EUR.

PRIVATE CREDIT PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE

Private Credit continues to offer compelling opportunities in a more selective market environment, particularly for managers with disciplined underwriting, strong structuring capabilities and resilient portfolios. Tikehau Capital is well-positioned in this context:

  • Underlying portfolio performance remains robust, with an annualized default rate of 1.3% as of 31 December 2025 for our Direct Lending strategies, consistent with long-term averages;
  • Our European semi-liquid fund continued to attract capital, reaching €180m AuM as of 31 March 2026;
  • Our disciplined approach sets us apart with rigorous selection, diversified sector exposure, including 9% of total AuM (12% of Credit AuM) in software, strong focus on profitability and cash flow and 100% covenanted transactions;
  • In the sixth vintage of our Direct Lending strategy, portfolio companies have actively deleveraged, with average leverage decreasing from 4.0x at closing to 3.5x today driven by EBITDA growth, reflecting robust underlying performance.

  • Tikehau Capital announces it has extended until 29 July 2026 (inclusive), the date of the Group’s H1 2026 results announcement, the share buy-back mandate, which was signed and announced on 19 March 2020 and previously extended until today.
