Update on the portfolio and Capital Markets Seminar
3i Group plc ("3i" or "the Group") will be holding a Capital
Markets Seminar via webcast today, involving presentations on our
approach to ESG and responsible investment, as well as on Evernex
and SaniSure, two of our recent Private Equity Investments. In
addition, Simon Borrows, our Chief Executive, will provide an
update on the portfolio, the key elements of which are outlined
below. The seminar will start at 14.00 and the joining details are
provided at the end of this press release. The presentation
materials and a recording of the webcast will also be made
available on our website.
We have now completed our September semi-annual portfolio
company reviews for Private Equity, Infrastructure and Scandlines,
which have reinforced our belief in the resilience and strength of
earnings performance in the significant majority of our
investments. The automotive sector remains challenged, and public
health policy has prolonged the uncertainty for the travel sector.
However, we continue to see strong momentum in portfolio companies
exposed to medical technology and personal care products and very
good recovery in our retail businesses, particularly in online, and
of course in Action.
Action's impressive performance has continued with sales, EBITDA
and cash generation above expectations for P7 (July), P8 (August)
and P9 (September) to date. YTD sales at over EUR3.7 billion have
now recovered to be approximately 8% ahead of last year with strong
trading continuing across all geographies. We expect LTM EBITDA to
the end of P9 to be approximately EUR575 million compared to EUR506
million at September last year and EUR491 million at the end of P4
this year. Cash generation has continued to be strong with a
current cash balance of over EUR625 million after a EUR51 million
repayment of the RCF. Action has now opened 88 stores in 2020
including its first five stores in the Czech Republic. Initial
trading in the Czech Republic has been significantly ahead of
expectations.
A live webcast of the seminar will be available at 14.00. To
