FY22 Trading Update
Continuing to deliver on our growth strategy
Foresight Group Holdings Limited ("Foresight", "Foresight Group", "the Group"), a leading infrastructure and private equity manager, today provides an update on its performance for the financial year ended 31 March 2022 ("FY22").
Financial Highlights(1)
-- Strong growth in AUM to GBP8.7 billion, up 21% on the prior year and meeting our ambitious target, with FUM increasing 27% to GBP6.5 billion. This increase was achieved through wholly organic growth -- Both Revenue and Core EBITDA (pre share-based payments) are anticipated to be in line with or slightly ahead of our expectations, with operational margins remaining robust -- Total net inflows and performance of GBP1.5 billion for FY22, an increase of 57% on the prior year (FY21: GBP0.9 billion) with positive inflows in every quarter. Further disclosure on inflows and performance will be provided in the Group's FY22 results
Operational Highlights(1)
Infrastructure
-- Continued to invest in core asset classes including Forestry and Fibre networks, while expanding into adjacent assets such as Geothermal Energy, Pumped Hydro, and Interconnectors. This has been largely achieved through further investment in development platforms which involve moderate initial deployments but provide substantial opportunities for further future deployments -- FY22 deployment figures reflect this, with 41 transactions at a total value of GBP484 million coupled with substantial future deployment rights(2) of GBP427 million giving a total of GBP911 million (FY21: 46 transactions, GBP595 million deployed, future deployment rights(2) GBP47 million)
Private Equity
-- Deployed GBP81 million across 53 equity transactions as SME entrepreneurs and owner-managers were able to focus on their corporate strategies as the uncertainties created by COVID-19 ease (FY21: GBP59 million deployed, across 41 equity transactions) -- Considerably grew our presence in secured lending, investing GBP47 million (FY21: GBP13 million) -- As announced in January, strong performance by the Group's first North-West fund (FRIF) exceeded expectations, generating performance fees in FY22
Foresight Capital Management ("FCM")
-- Expanded the OEIC offering in Q4 FY22 with the launch of the FP Foresight Sustainable Future Themes Fund. This fund aims to deliver growth by investing in the shares of listed companies that operate across five core themes, underpinned by sustainable development and decarbonisation -- At 31 March 2022, FCM had GBP1.6 billion of AUM, with net inflows and performance of GBP455 million in the 12 month period. This includes GBP72 million of net inflows and performance in Q4 FY22, which we view as a strong performance given the challenging market backdrop -- The Group has recently offset its scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions(3) using verified carbon credits from ClimateCare, a step on the Group's journey to becoming Net-Zero by 2050 or before -- Agreed an innovative new collaboration with the Eden Project, with launch scheduled by the end of June 2022 when further details will be announced
Bernard Fairman, Executive Chairman of Foresight Group Holdings Limited, commented:
" Foresight Group's first full year as a listed company has been extremely successful. We set out a clear strategy and ambitious targets at IPO and I am delighted that we are delivering as promised.
"Additionally, we are actively engaged in a number of strategically compelling M&A opportunities.
"Progress towards a low-carbon power system and a sustainable society more broadly is accelerating. This transition will impact multiple sectors, including energy itself but also industry, transport, agriculture and the way we value and use our land. We expect to see an increased appreciation of the natural capital services provided by forests, soil and oceans - in particular their ability to facilitate carbon sequestration and the reestablishment of biodiversity .
"Underpinned by strong business fundamentals and proven expertise as a sustainability-led investor, Foresight is well positioned to benefit from long term structural trends and macro conditions favouring both sustainable infrastructure and UK regional private equity investment. In short, the outlook for the Group through this year and beyond remains very positive."
