Christophe Bavière and William Kadouch-Chassaing, Co-CEOs, said: 

"With another quarter marked by strong fundraising, Eurazeo continues to gain market share from major international investors and individual clients, thanks to its leading European midmarket platform. In a market that remains sluggish, the Group made some landmark exits in the third quarter, in Buyout, Venture, Growth, and Biotech. This ability to rotate assets has become a key competitive advantage for our clients and enables the Group to pursue its dynamic policy of returns to shareholders."

2. FUNDRAISING

In the first nine months of 2025, Eurazeo continued to gain market share, raising funds of €3.2bn from its clients, up +4% year-on-year (€3.0bn in 9M 2024) in a global fundraising market declining by more than 10%[2]:

-             Private Equity fundraising totaled €1.4bn, up +38% year-on-year. Q3 2025 fundraising remained dynamic in the Secondaries & Mandates strategy. In the first half of the year, the Group closed fundraising for the Capital “EC V” program at €3.0bn, exceeding its target. The EPBF impact fund (Planet Boundaries) secured a first closing at more than €300m, out of a target of €750m (including c. €150m on the Eurazeo balance sheet). The Eurazeo Growth IV fund completed its first closing at €650m (including c. €250m on the balance sheet), with a target of €1bn;

-             Private debt reported strong fundraising in the third quarter (€0.9bn) to reach €1.7bn for the first nine months, taking advantage of its leading position in the mid-market Direct Lending segment.

The Group continues to grow its institutional Limited Partners (LP) client base and expand it internationally, particularly in Asia and Continental Europe. During the first nine months of 2025, the Group added 29 new institutional clients. LPs outside France accounted for 74% of institutional flows in the first nine months of 2025.

Wealth Solutions fundraising from private clients totaled €676m (+7% compared to 9M 2024). Initial successes were reported outside France, particularly in Belgium and the signing of distribution partnerships in Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Two new Luxembourg evergreen funds, EPIC and EPSO, received regulatory approval and should be launched shortly. They will strengthen the Group's growth ambitions in Europe.

3. ASSET ROTATION

Group realizations totaled €2.2bn in the first 9 months of 2025, including the exits announced in the third quarter and completed in October (CPK and UPD), demonstrating the Group’s ability to monetize its assets under good conditions. 

In the third quarter, the Group announced several eminent realizations: 

•       CPK (Capital), a European confectionery and chocolate champion with iconic brands (Carambar, Lutti, Krema, Terry’s, etc.) was sold to Ferrara Candy Group, a leading sugar candy company in the United States. The transaction was completed at the end of October and returned an additional €200m to Eurazeo’s balance sheet;

•       Cognigy (Growth), a global market leader in conversational and agentic AI applied to customer relations, was sold to a sector player for close to €1bn, generating a consolidated multiple for the Group of 2.1x its initial minority investment in only one year. This was the EGF IV fund’s first divestment;

•       Ultra Premium Direct (Elevate), France’s leading direct-to-consumer online pet food company, was sold for close to €140m to a sector player, generating a cash-on-cash gross return of 2.1x for the Group’s balance sheet;

•       ImCheck (Kurma partners) a biotechnology company pioneering a new generation of immunotherapy antibodies targeting various solid and hematological cancers, was sold to the IPSEN laboratory for €350m, potentially rising to €1bn if certain key milestones are reached. The transaction generates a cash-on-cash multiple of 3x to 7x the initial investment depending on the scenario envisaged.

Eurazeo balance sheet divestments currently total nearly 1.1bn representing c.14% of the portfolio value at the end of 2024, up on the same period in 2024 (11%). Several other divestment processes have been initiated, with the Group aiming to return to historical annual levels of c.20% of the previous year’s portfolio value. 

Since the launch of the strategic plan announced at the Capital Markets Day at the end of 2023, the Group has sold approximately €2.2bn of balance sheet assets, i.e. c. 27% of the portfolio at the end of 2023, with an average uplift of +8% on their most recent valuation, and a gross performance of 2.1x the initial investment. Over the same period, on average, global Private Equity funds distributed c.16% of their portfolio (source: Cambridge). 

Group deployments totaled €3.9bn in the first nine months of the year. In Private Equity, Eurazeo invested over €1.7bn in its target sectors, including:

-          Business services: 3P (procurement software), Mapal (HCR management software),

Ekoscan (non-destructive testing solutions for industrial applications), OMMAX (data and AI strategy consulting firm)

-          Tech & AI: Filigran (cybersecurity and AI), Dexory (logistics robotics)

-          Environmental Solutions: Bioline (agricultural biocontrol), SMP (geothermal), Aedifion (energy performance optimization)

-          Healthcare: Nuevocor (gene therapy), Deepull (sepsis diagnosis), Adcytherix (oncology antibody drugs), Protéor (prostheses)

-          Real Assets: the Group invested €128m, notably in Aquardens (thermal park in Italy), and an announced partnership with MPC OSE Offshore (service vessel fleet for offshore wind power). 

The Private Debt activity deployed €2.0bn over nine months (+24%), in a market that remains strong in the lower mid-market segment.

4. REVENUE FROM THE ASSET MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY

Management fees totaled €316m in the first nine months of 2025, up +2% year-on-year excluding catch-up fees, and break down as follows:

i)                     third-party management fees of €230m (+5% excluding catch-up fees and currency effects):

a.       Private market activity fees up +5% to €166m. The difference compared to the increase in FPAUM (+10.5%) is due to contractual decreases in fee rates tied to the maturity of certain Growth and Venture funds, as well as a mix effect, with particularly dynamic fundraising and deployments in Private Debt and Secondaries & Mandates over the recent period. The average fee rate remains high at 108 bps ;

b.      IMGP fees totaled €64m (+4% excluding currency effects). The activity benefits from a positive market effect. Net flows are slightly negative, in line with the U.S. market trend for liquid assets (source : Morningstar).

ii)                   management fees on Eurazeo’s balance sheet totaled €86m, down -3% following the exits completed and the decrease in balance sheet commitments in the funds, in line with the strategy announced at the end of 2023.

Performance fees (PRE) totaled €10.2m thanks to recent successful exits in Buyout and EPVE3 performance commissions in Wealth Solutions. Some Group funds are approaching distribution levels that will allow higher performance fees to be recognized. PRE should gradually increase to represent around 10% of third-party revenues within a medium-term investment cycle.

5 Excluding announced divestments of c. €0.4bn for CPK and UPD completed in October 2025.  

In total, fees for the asset management activity amounted to €326.4m in the first nine months, increasing by +1% (total +5% in total third-party fees).

BALANCE SHEET PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

As of September 30, 2025, the net value of the investment portfolio carried on the balance sheet was €7.4bn. It is not revalued quarterly. As a reminder, the portfolio is composed of investments in over 70 significant companies, primarily held through the Group’s funds and programs. The portfolio value per share is €106.8 at the end of September 2025, up on the end of June 2025 following share buybacks.

In the first nine months of the year, portfolio companies to which the balance sheet is exposed reported strong revenue growth[3]:

-        Buyout[4] (+6% in 9M 2025 excluding WorldStrides): The portfolio delivered robust organic growth across most portfolio companies reflecting the Group’s positioning in high-quality assets in buoyant segments, despite a more uncertain macro-economic environment.

-        Growth (+15%): Activity remains strong, with growth levels varying according to business models. Companies are focusing mainly on improving their profitability. Doctolib, this strategy’s largest investment, continues to grow strongly and announced that it had achieved profitability in Q3 2025. The most recent investments, in EGF IV, generated average revenue growth of around +37% over the first nine months of the year, confirming their excellent momentum;

-        Real Assets: Revenue from hotel activities[5] was stable[6] over the nine-month period, in a less favorable environment for the industry. Sustainable infrastructure portfolio companies reported revenue growth of more than +24% on average.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

As of September 30, 2025, Group net financial debt[7] totaled €1.6bn (€23.0 per share[8]), including €1.4bn under various available lines, €191m of IMGP debt (without recourse on the Group), and €70m in gross cash. This limited debt represents a gearing of 23%.

Proforma of the exits announced in Q3 and completed in October (CPK, UPD) and of the €100m still receivable on the secondary transaction, net debt would have been €1.2bn, representing a gearing of 17%. 

At the end of October, Eurazeo SE has short-term credit lines totaling €1.9bn.

As of September 30, 2025, the Group held 5,615,568 treasury shares, i.e. 7.7% of total outstanding shares (73,085,760 shares). Excluding treasury shares held for cancellation, there are 69,090,661 shares outstanding.

SHAREHOLDER RETURN

The 2025 Shareholders’ Meeting of May 7 approved the payment of an ordinary dividend of €2.65 per share, i.e. a further increase of nearly 10% compared to the 2024 ordinary dividend (€2.42).  

At the beginning of 2025, the Executive Board decided to increase the share buyback program to €400m, from €200m in 2024. From the beginning of 2024 to the end of October 2025, the Group bought back 7.7 million of its own shares for €0.5bn, i.e. 10% of the share capital at the end of 2023 and should reach around 12% at the end of the current program. These buybacks are highly accretive for shareholders, given the discount on the Group’s share price compared to the intrinsic value of its assets (balance sheet portfolio and asset management activity, less net debt).

These increases in the dividend and the share buyback program are in line with the Group’s willingness to boost shareholder return, as announced at the Capital Markets Day on November 30, 2023.
