Investcorp Capital, an alternative investment company that invests in private markets, on Friday reported announced dividends amounting to a total of $112 million to its shareholders for approval at the annual general meeting (AGM) to be held next month, of which $56.3 million was paid in March, reflecting an annualised dividend yield of approximately 111%.
The company’s net profit of $81 million was achieved as against $105 million in FY24, representing a 23% decrease due to higher financing costs associated with strategic drawdowns to fund new investments – a deliberate move which significantly expanded the asset base and expected recurring income.
The gross operating income of $124 million versus total operating expenses of $10 million, with a cost-to-income ratio of 8%. Total assets increased by 9% to over $1.9 billion, as a result of over $1.31 billion in acquisitions and $1.09 million in realisations.
Investcorp Capital’s Chairman Mohammed Alardhi said that the strong results in a volatile global market have allowed the company to once again generate attractive dividends to its our shareholders.
According to him, the company continued to provide unique exposure to global private markets and remains the only listed vehicle of its kind on ADX, and thank the shareholders for their continued support.
“In FY25, Investcorp Capital achieved robust growth across both the capital deployment and capital financing services segments. We expanded our asset base, successfully executed strategic acquisitions, and realized strong exits. With a diversified platform and a robust pipeline, Investcorp Capital is well positioned to scale and deliver sustainable, long-term, value for our shareholders,” he added.
Acquisitions
The company made strategic investments in Epipoli, PKF O’Connor Davies, Miebach Consulting, Student Housing V, and Industrial Fund II during the year and it will continue disciplined capital deployment and financing activities across its four asset classes, leveraging Investcorp Group’s 40+ year global track record in alternatives.
With a strong pipeline and diversified platform, the Company is positioned to capitalize on long-term demand for global private market opportunities.
