We reviewed AGA’s recent interim results in our 25 September note, Resilience in face of rising interest rates. The results reconfirmed AGA’s core strengths, notably i) Apax enhances the operational performance of the funds’ investments ‒ LTM revenue and EBITDA growth of 16.0% and 14.1%, respectively, are, we believe, ahead of the market, albeit slowing in 2Q, ii) a 24% uplift on exits, proving conservative accounting and that the NAV is realistic, iii) a 2.4% NAV return, with the five-year 12.4% annualised return, and iv) the Debt portfolio proved its worth, with diversified, more stable returns, and generating cash to pay the dividend. We expect the 9 November 3Q results to show similar resilience, albeit somewhat slower revenue and EBITDA growth.
