      Defensive growth with a disciplined approach 
 
 
 
  Oliver Gardey 
  Head of Private Equity Fund Investments, ICG 
    ICG Enterprise Trust's strategy of investing exclusively 
     in buyouts of businesses that exhibit defensive growth 
     characteristics - along with our capital allocation 
     policy - is delivering attractive shareholder returns. 
     In the last twelve months we have generated an NAV 
     per Share Total Return of 4.1%, and over the last 
     five years an annualised NAV Per Share Total Return 
     of 15.2%. 
     Although market-wide transaction activity was lower 
     during the period, we and our Managers have continued 
     to identify attractive opportunities for new investments 
     and realisations. Total Realisations during the period 
     generated proceeds of GBP94.1m, including 17 full 
     exits at a weighted average Uplift to Carrying Value 
     of 17.7%. Our investments of GBP64.1m during the period 
     included two Direct investments. 
     A challenging fundraising market for private equity 
     managers continues to be a favourable environment 
     for our perpetual capital structure, and we made nine 
     new commitments during the period, including to two 
     funds managed by ICG. 
     Our Portfolio is performing in line with our expectations, 
     and the Primary commitments made in recent quarters 
     are enabling us to continue to build a diversified 
     Portfolio through cycles. Our relationship with ICG 
     is demonstrating economic and broader benefits to 
     ICG Enterprise Trust, and we feel well positioned 
     for the months ahead and for the longer term.

OUTLOOK 
We are encouraged by the performance of our underlying 
 investments, which have continued to generate robust 
 revenue and EBITDA growth. 
 In the current market, we opt to retain a disciplined 
 approach to Direct investments, and our fund commitments 
 are enabling us to continue to invest in our portfolio. 
 We continue to see favourable dynamics in the Secondary 
 market as other private equity investors seek routes 
 to liquidity. Importantly, we remain confident in 
 the quality of our Portfolio, of our managers, and 
 of our team, to generate resilient long-term returns 
 for our shareholders.

ABOUT ICG ENTERPRISE TRUST

ICG Enterprise Trust is a leading listed private equity investor focused on creating long-term growth by delivering consistently strong returns through selectively investing in profitable, cash-generative private companies, primarily in Europe and the US, while offering the added benefit to shareholders of daily liquidity.

We invest in companies directly as well as through funds managed by Intermediate Capital Group ('ICG') and other leading private equity managers who focus on creating long-term value and building sustainable growth through active management and strategic change.

NOTES

Included in this document are Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs"). APMs have been used if considered by the Board and the Manager to be the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing the overall performance of the Company, and for comparing the performance of the Company to its peers and its previously reported results. The Glossary includes further details of APMs and reconciliations to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") measures, where appropriate.

In the Manager's Review and Supplementary Information, all performance figures are stated on a Total Return basis (i.e. including the effect of re-invested dividends). ICG Alternative Investment Limited, a regulated subsidiary of Intermediate Capital Group plc, acts as the Manager of the Company.

Equity securities in the Company have not been and will not be registered under the applicable securities laws of the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa (each an "Excluded Jurisdiction").

CHAIR'S FOREWORD

ICG Enterprise Trust aims to provide investors with exposure to private equity investments that can deliver resilient returns for our shareholders over the long term, with the added benefit of daily liquidity.

Your Company's NAV per Share Total Return during the period was 0.8% and at 31 July 2023 the Company's NAV stood at 1,904p per share. Over the longer-term, our track record is evidencing the success of our investment strategy: over the five years to 31 July 2023 we have generated an annualised NAV per Share Total Return of 15.2%, and over the three years to 31 July 2023 we have generated an annualised NAV per Share Total Return of 21.1%.

Despite this impressive track record and the resilient operational performance of our underlying investments, our discount has remained wide, in common with much of the listed private equity investment trust sector. In the face of this, the Board has taken a number of steps to optimise returns for our shareholders today, and to engage with the shareholders of tomorrow.

Costs remain a focus for the Board, and this period benefits from the management fee cap and cost sharing agreement we entered into with the Manager, effective from 1(st) February 2023. In aggregate we estimate shareholders have saved approximately GBP1m in this period as a result of these actions, including the management fees of GBP8.0m being approximately 8% lower than they would have been had the management fee cap not been in place.

Our buyback programme has been successfully and regularly implemented since its introduction almost a year ago today: we have repurchased just under 1 million shares at a weighted average discount to NAV of 40.6%. These buybacks represent GBP10.6m of capital returned to shareholders, equivalent to approximately one third of total cash returns during the period. Alongside this, we reiterate our commitment to the Company's progressive dividend policy.

Finally, your Board recognises the importance of transparent and open shareholder engagement, and I look forward to seeing a number of you in the coming months. I was delighted to represent the Board at ICG Enterprise Trust's first Investor Day earlier this year. Then, as now, your Board remains confident that ICG Enterprise Trust is well positioned to navigate the current macroeconomic environment. The portfolio has performed well over the last year, reassuring us that it will be resilient and defensive through the cycle. Our underlying earnings continue to grow, which should provide long term returns for our shareholders.

MANAGER'S REVIEW

Alternative Performance Measures

The Board and the Manager monitor the financial performance of the Company on the basis of Alternative Performance Measures (APM), which are non-IFRS measures. The APM predominantly form the basis of the financial measures discussed in this review, which the Board believes assists shareholders in assessing their investment and the delivery of the investment strategy.

The Company holds certain investments in subsidiary entities. The substantive difference between APM and IFRS is the treatment of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries. The APM basis "looks through" these subsidiaries to the underlying assets and liabilities they hold, and it reports the investments as the Portfolio APM. Under IFRS, the Company and its subsidiaries are reported separately. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are presented on the face of the IFRS balance sheet as a single carrying value. The same is true for the IFRS and APM basis of the Cash flow statement.

The following table sets out IFRS metrics and the APM equivalents:

Our investment strategy

We focus on investing in buyouts of profitable, cash-generative businesses in developed markets that exhibit defensive growth characteristics which we believe support strong and resilient returns across economic cycles.

We take an active approach to portfolio construction, with a flexible mandate that enables us to deploy capital in Primary, Secondary and Direct investments. Geographically we focus on the developed markets of North America and Europe which have deep and mature private equity markets supported by a robust corporate governance ecosystem.

ICG Enterprise Trust benefits from access to ICG-managed funds and Direct investments, which represented 29.4% of the Portfolio value at period end and generated a 5.1% return on a local currency basis.

Performance overview

At 31 July 2023, our Portfolio was valued at GBP1,398.8m, and the Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis for the first half of the financial year was 4.6% (H1 FY23: 7.3%).

All investment categories, Primary, Direct and Secondary, generated positive Portfolio returns during the period:

   -- Primary investments generated a local currency return of 4.8%. Returns 
      were broad based, with notable outperformance from funds managed by ICG 
      and Gridiron, among others 
 
   -- Direct Investments generated a return of 3.8%, reflecting resilient 
      operational performance, as well as a number of realisations agreed 
      during the period 
 
   -- Secondary investments generated a return of 5.5% 

Over the last five years, our Portfolio has generated an annualised Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis of 17.9%.

Due to the geographic diversification of our Portfolio, the reported value is impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. During the period, the Portfolio decreased by GBP42.5m (3.0%) due to FX movements, driven by Sterling appreciation versus both the Euro and US Dollar. In Sterling terms, Portfolio growth during the period was 1.6%.

ICG Enterprise Trust generated a NAV per Share Total Return of 0.8% during H1 FY24 (4.1% on an LTM basis), ending the period with a NAV per Share of 1,904p.

Over the last five years, ICG Enterprise Trust has generated an annualised NAV per Share Total Return of 15.2%.

Portfolio company performance

Our Portfolio companies delivered robust financial performance during the period, generating double digit revenue and EBITDA growth over the last twelve months. As well as performance metrics for our Top 30 companies, we include data for our "Enlarged Perimeter", which represents the aggregate value of the Top 30 Companies and as many of the managers from within the Top 30 funds as practicable. At 31 July 2023, the Enlarged Perimeter represented 66.4% of the Portfolio by value.

Based on the Enlarged Perimeter, valuation metrics and leverage of the Portfolio remained broadly stable during the period: EV/EBITDA for the Enlarged Perimeter was 14.4x for the period (FY23: 14.0x); and Net Debt / EBITDA for the Enlarged Perimeter was 4.7x (FY23: 4.6x).

Quoted company exposure

We do not actively invest in publicly quoted companies but gain listed investment exposure when IPOs are used as a route to exit an investment. In these cases, exit timing typically lies with the manager with whom we have invested.

At 31 July 2023, ICG Enterprise Trust's exposure to quoted companies was valued at GBP97.1m, equivalent to 6.9% of the Portfolio value (FY23: 7.8%). Across the Portfolio, quoted positions resulted in a marginal decrease of GBP0.1m in Portfolio NAV during the period. The share price of our largest listed exposure, Chewy, decreased by 24% in local currency (USD) during the period.

At 31 July 2023 there was one quoted investment that individually accounted for 0.5% or more of the Portfolio value:

During the period, BC Partners (the underlying manager of the PetSmart investment) announced a transaction between PetSmart/Chewy and Apollo, which is expected to close later this year. While we do not expect a meaningful near-term impact on our Portfolio valuation or realisation proceeds as a result of this transaction, we believe it provides some long-term flexibility around this investment for BC Partners.

Commitments

During the period we made nine new fund Commitments totalling GBP110.0m, including to two funds managed by ICG plc, as detailed below:

Our objective is to be fully invested through the cycle, while ensuring that we have sufficient financial resources to be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise. Drawdowns of commitments are funded from Total Proceeds and, where appropriate, the debt facility.

Dividend and share buyback

Reflecting the Company's ongoing focus on optimising shareholder returns, ICG Enterprise Trust maintains a progressive dividend policy alongside an active share buyback programme to return capital to shareholders.

The Board has declared a dividend of 8p per share in respect of the second quarter, taking total dividends for the period to 16p (H1 FY23: 14p). It remains the Board's intention, in the absence of any unforeseen circumstances, to declare total dividends of at least 32p per share for the financial year, implying an increase of 6.7% on the previous financial year.

In October 2022 the Board announced the introduction of a long-term active share buyback programme, which may be executed at any discount to NAV. Details of share repurchases made under this programme are provided below:

The Board believes the buyback programme demonstrates the Manager's discipline around capital allocation; underlines the Board's confidence in the long-term prospects of the Company, its cashflows and NAV; will enhance the NAV per share; and, over time, may positively influence the volatility of the Company's discount and its trading liquidity.

The Board reviews the size, mandate and efficacy of the buyback programme on a quarterly basis, to ensure it is working in the long-term interests of shareholders and in line with the objectives outlined above.

The Board retains absolute discretion as to the execution, pricing and timing of any share buybacks, subject to the conditions set out in the authority to execute share buybacks approved at the Company's 2023 Annual General Meeting. Any shares repurchased by the Company will be held in treasury.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are substantially the same as those disclosed in the Strategic Report and in the notes to the Financial Statements in the Company's latest Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2023 which was approved by the Board on 10 May 2023.

The Company considers its principal risks (as well as several underlying risks comprising each principal risk) in four categories:

Investment risks: the risk to performance resulting from ineffective or inappropriate investment selection, execution or monitoring.

External risks: the risk of failing to deliver the Company's investment objective and strategic goals due to external factors beyond the Company's control.

Operational risks: the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems and external event, including regulatory risk.

Financial risks: the risks of adverse impact on the Company due to having insufficient resources to meet its obligations or counterparty failure and the impact any material movement in foreign exchange rates may have on underlying valuations.

A comprehensive risk assessment process is undertaken regularly to re-evaluate the impact and probability of each risk materialising and the strategic, financial and operational impact of the risk. Where the residual risk is determined to be outside of appetite, appropriate action is taken.

In addition to these, emerging risks are regularly considered to assess any potential impact on the Company and to

determine whether any actions are required. The Board also regularly considers the evolution of requirements and standards

relating to ESG and responsible investing.

Related Party Transactions

There have been no material changes in the related party transactions described in the 31 January 2023 Annual Report.

Directors' Responsibility Statement

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:

   -- The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in 
      accordance with UK-adopted IAS 34 Interim condensed financial statements 
      and gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial 
      position and profit or loss of the Company; 
 
   -- The Chair's Statement and Manager's Review includes a fair review of the 
      information required by DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and 
      Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have 
      occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their 
      impact on the condensed interim financial statements, and a description 
      of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of 
      the year; and 
 
   -- The interim financial statements include a fair review of the information 
      required by DTR 4.28R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, 
      being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six 
      months of the financial year and that have materially affected the 
      financial position or performance of the Company during that period, and 
      any changes in the related party transactions described in the last 
      Annual Report that could do so. 

The Interim Report was approved by the Board and the above Directors' Responsibility Statement was signed on its behalf by the Chair.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period ended 31 July 2023

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

These interim condensed financial statements relate to ICG Enterprise Trust Plc ('the Company'). ICG Enterprise Trust Plc is registered in England and Wales and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered office is Procession House, 55 Ludgate Hill, London EC4M 7JW. The Company's objective is to provide long-term growth by investing in private companies managed by leading private equity managers.

2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The interim condensed financial statements are unaudited and do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of

section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Within the notes to the interim condensed financial statements, all current and

comparative data covering the period to (or as at) 31 July 2023 is unaudited. Data given in respect of the year to 31 January 2023

is audited. The statutory accounts for the year to 31 January 2023 have been reported on by Ernst & Young LLP and delivered to

the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph,

and (iii) did not contain any statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

3 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted IAS 34 Interim financial Reporting (IAS 34) and on the basis of the accounting policies and methods of computation set out in the financial statements of the Company for the year to 31 January 2023.

The financial information for the year ended 31 January 2023 was prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ('UK-IAS') and the Statement of Recommended Practice ('SORP') for investment trusts issued by the Association of Investment Companies in July 2022.

The Company comprises one operating segment which is also a reporting segment.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on the historical cost basis of accounting,

modified for the revaluation of certain assets at fair value. In making their going concern assessment, the Directors have

considered the potential impact of principal risks on the Company's business activities; the Company's net cash position; the

availability of the Company's credit facility and compliance with its covenants; and the Company's cash flow projections, in

particular those arising from committed but undrawn commitments.

The Directors have concluded based on the above assessment that the preparation of the interim condensed financial

statements on a going concern basis, to 31 October 2024, a period of more than 12 months from the signing of the interim

condensed financial statements, continues to be appropriate.

Capital return per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the capital return attributable to equity shareholders of GBP6.4m (2022: GBP125.9m) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share are calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to equity shareholders of GBP6.9m (2022: GBP125.9m) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (excluding those held in treasury) during the year was 68,040,279 (2022: 68,517,055). There were no potentially dilutive shares, such as options or warrants, in either year.

There were no potentially dilutive shares, such as options or warrants, at either year end. Calculated on both the basic and diluted basis the net asset value per share was 1,904.1p (31 January 2023: 1,903.3p).

7 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION

IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements of financial instruments categorised according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

   -- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or 
      liabilities (level 1). 
 
   -- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are 
      observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as 
      prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2). 
 
   -- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market 
      data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). 

The valuation techniques applied to level 3 assets are described in note 1(c) of the annual financial statements. No investments were categorised as level 1 or level 2.

The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting year when they are deemed to occur.

The following table presents the assets that are measured at fair value at 31 July 2023 and 31 January 2023:

7 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION (CONTINUED)

All unquoted and quoted investments are valued at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13. The Company has no quoted investments as at 31 July 2023; quoted investments held by subsidiary undertakings are reported within Level 3.

Investments in level 3 securities are in respect of private equity fund investments and co-investments. These are held at fair value and are calculated using valuations provided by the underlying manager of the investment, with adjustments made to the statements to take account of cash flow events occurring after the date of the manager's valuation, such as realisations or liquidity adjustments.

The following tables present the changes in level 3 instruments for the period ended 31 July 2023 and 31 July 2022.

Direct Investments                               An investment in a portfolio company held directly, 
                                                  not through a private equity fund. Direct Investments

--------------------------------  -------------  --------------------------------------------------------------- 
Discount                                         Discount arises when the Company's shares trade at 
                                                  a price below the Company's NAV per Share. In this 
                                                  circumstance, the price that an investor pays or receives 
                                                  for a share would be less than the value attributable 
                                                  to it by reference to the underlying assets. The Discount 
                                                  is the difference between the share price and the 
                                                  NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. For example, 
                                                  if the NAV was 100p and the share price was 90p, the 
                                                  Discount would be 10%.

Limited Partnership                              A Limited Partnership includes one or more General 
                                                  Partners, who have responsibility for managing the 
                                                  business of the partnership and have unlimited liability, 
                                                  and one or more Limited Partners, who do not participate 
                                                  in the operation of the partnership and whose liability 
                                                  is ordinarily capped at their capital and loan contribution 
                                                  to the partnership. In typical fund structures, the 
                                                  General Partner receives a priority share ahead of 
                                                  distributions to Limited Partners.

Net Asset Value per Share         NAV per Share  Net Asset Value per Share is the value of the Company's 
                                                  net assets attributable to one Ordinary share. It 
                                                  is calculated by dividing 'shareholders' funds' by 
                                                  the total number of ordinary shares in issue. Shareholders' 
                                                  funds are calculated by deducting current and long-term 
                                                  liabilities, and any provision for liabilities and 
                                                  charges, from the Company's total assets. 
--------------------------------  -------------  --------------------------------------------------------------- 
Total Return                                     Total Return is the change in the Company's Net Asset 
                                                  Value per Share, assuming that dividends are re-invested 
                                                  at the end of the quarter in which the dividend was 
                                                  paid. 
--------------------------------  -------------  --------------------------------------------------------------- 
Net Debt                                         Net Debt is calculated as the total short-term and 
                                                  long-term debt in a business, less cash and cash equivalents. 
--------------------------------  -------------  --------------------------------------------------------------- 
Ongoing Charges                                  Ongoing Charges are calculated in line with guidance 
                                                  issued by the Association of Investment Companies 
                                                  ('AIC') and capture management fees and expenses, 
                                                  excluding finance costs, incurred at the Company level 
                                                  only. The calculation does not include the expenses 
                                                  and management fees incurred by any underlying funds.

Other Net Liabilities                            Other Net Liabilities at the aggregated Company level 
                                                  represent net other liabilities per the Company's 
                                                  balance sheet. Net other liabilities per the balance 
                                                  sheet of the subsidiaries include amounts payable 
                                                  under the Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual.

Overcommitment                                   Overcommitment refers to where private equity fund 
                                                  investors make Commitments exceeding the amount of 
                                                  cash immediately available for investment. When determining 
                                                  the appropriate level of Overcommitment, careful consideration 
                                                  needs to be given to the rate at which Commitments 
                                                  might be drawn down, and the rate at which realisations 
                                                  will generate cash from the existing Portfolio to 
                                                  fund new investment.

             Portfolio represents the aggregate of the investment 
              Portfolios of the Company and of its subsidiary Limited 
              Partnerships. This APM is consistent with the commentary 
              in previous annual and interim reports. The Board 
              and the Manager consider that disclosing our Portfolio 
              assists shareholders in understanding the value and 
              performance of the underlying investments selected 
              by the Manager. It is shown before the Co-investment 
              Incentive Scheme Accrual to avoid being distorted 
              by certain funds and Direct Investments on which ICG 
              Enterprise Trust Plc does not incur these costs (for 
              example, on funds managed by ICG plc). Portfolio is 
              related to the NAV, which is the value attributed 
              to our shareholders, and which also incorporates the 
              Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual as well as 
              the value of cash and debt retained on our balance 
              sheet.
