Release Date: July 17, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points EQT AB (EQBBF) achieved a significant increase in exit volumes, more than tripling compared to the first half of the previous year, with realizations exceeding investments. The company successfully closed Infra IV at hard cap and launched EQT XI, demonstrating strong fundraising capabilities. EQT Nexus expanded its availability to over 20 countries, and two new evergreen vehicles were launched, enhancing the company's private wealth offerings. EQT AB (EQBBF) maintained a strong global presence and geographical diversification, which positions it well to deliver alpha for clients in a volatile market. The company reported a robust pipeline for the second half of the year, with significant opportunities in Asia, particularly in India and Japan. Negative Points The fundraising environment remains challenging, with a slower deal-making environment in certain regions. EQT AB (EQBBF) faces potential risks from currency fluctuations, as the depreciation of the dollar against the euro negatively impacted fund valuations. The company anticipates a longer time to achieve target MOIC returns for EQT IX and Infrastructure V compared to prior vintages. There is uncertainty regarding the exact timing of when Infra IV will enter carry mode, with expectations set for 2027 unless market conditions improve significantly. The company is undergoing organizational changes to streamline operations, which may introduce short-term disruptions as it integrates functions and reduces complexity. Q & A Highlights Q: How should we view the EUR23 billion target for EQT XI compared to EQT X? Is it due to tough fundraising markets? A: The EUR23 billion target for EQT XI is based on the previous fundraising amount for EQT X, which was EUR20 billion, and ended up raising EUR22 billion. We see good momentum in the fundraising for EQT XI, and the final hard cap is yet to be determined. - Per Franzen, CEO Q: Could you explain the expected EUR100 billion fundraising cycle and the role of evergreen funds? A: The EUR100 billion fundraising cycle includes a significant portion from our flagship funds. Evergreen funds are expected to contribute around 10% of the capital, primarily through co-investments and US evergreen strategies. These funds invest alongside our main funds, not directly into them. - Gustav Segerberg, Head of Business Development Q: What are the strategic changes you have implemented since becoming CEO, and what more is planned? A: We've reorganized parts of the firm, established a new leadership team, and plan further actions to maintain agility and capitalize on growth opportunities. This includes slowing net headcount growth and optimizing costs. - Per Franzen, CEO and Kim Henriksson, CFO Q: How does the potential inclusion of 401(k) plans in private markets impact EQT's strategy? A: The 401(k) market presents a significant growth opportunity for our evergreen strategies. While initial focus may be on more liquid strategies like credit, we expect private equity, infrastructure, and real estate to become relevant over time. - Gustav Segerberg, Head of Business Development and Per Franzen, CEO Q: Can you provide more details on the EUR1 billion carry expected from existing funds? A: The EUR1 billion carry from funds currently in carry mode is expected to be realized over more than two years, depending on market conditions and exit readiness. - Kim Henriksson, CFO Q: What is EQT's approach to potential new strategies, such as private credit? A: We are exploring opportunities to fill gaps in our platform, including secondary solutions in private markets. This aligns with client interests and could strengthen our relationships with investors. - Per Franzen, CEO Q: How do you view the current exit environment, and what are your expectations for H2? A: We have a strong exit pipeline and are optimistic about achieving our original exit agenda for the year, provided market conditions remain stable. - Per Franzen, CEO Q: How do you plan to address the FX impact on EBITDA margins? A: We monitor FX impacts closely but do not hedge. Approximately 45% of our revenue and one-third of our costs are USD-based. We adapt as necessary to manage these impacts. - Kim Henriksson, CFO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
