The firm focused on supporting portfolio companies through add-on financings and follow-on transactions, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital deployment. Leverage levels were carefully managed, and documentation standards remained stringent. In addition, the firm continued to take advantage of its multi-local platform to diversify investments across geographies. The first half was notably marked by Tikehau Capital's first investment in the Asia Pacific region through its partnership with UOB-Kay Hian as well as investments in Spain, Belgium and Italy, leveraging the strength of its global deal-sourcing capabilities to access high-quality opportunities beyond its home market.
- The firm maintained an opportunistic stance on new CLO issuances and remained highly focused on resetting older vintages to capture more attractive financing terms and enhance returns.

These transactions offer more co-investment opportunities, reflecting both increased market conviction and the depth of the Group's sourcing capabilities.
- These investments underscore Tikehau Capital's conviction-led approach across dedicated verticals such as decarbonization, aerospace defense, and cybersecurity, areas where the firm has built strong positions and continues to identify as long-term structural themes.

The firm launched its first semi-liquid Private Debt fund, Tikehau European Private Credit17, and a private equity fund dedicated to European defense and security (Tikehau Défense et Sécurité)18. The latter is available as a unit-linked product within the life insurance and retirement savings policies of Société Générale Assurances, CNP Assurances, and CARAC Group.

The fundraising pipeline for these strategies remains healthy, with a growing interest from Asian investors in the Group's high-conviction thematic strategies. The second vintage of Decarbonization strategy reached €2.1bn in total commitments as of 30 June 2025.

- Tikehau Capital's balance sheet investment portfolio amounted to €4.4bn as of 30 June 2025, compared to €4.0bn as of 31 December 2024. Over the first half, the main variations in the portfolio were the following:

In the first half of 2025, Tikehau Capital published its inaugural Sustainability Statement in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), while continuing to integrate sustainability features across all its strategies:
- Private Equity: €1bn raised to support Egis, a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations, and mobility services firm.

As of 30 June 2025, Tikehau Capital manages €4.7bn in assets dedicated to climate and biodiversity, putting the Group firmly on track to reach its €5bn target by end-2025.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
- 13% growth in Asset Management revenues driven by Fee-Paying AuM growth, resilient fee margin and performance-related revenues growth
- Fee-paying AuM amounted to €40.8bn as of 30 June 2025, up 10% year-over-year. This growth was notably driven by Private Debt funds which have been dynamic in both fundraising and deployment across Direct Lending, CLOs and Credit Secondaries strategies, as well as inflows for Private Equity funds and Capital Markets Strategies.
- Future fee-paying AuM grew 24% year-over-year to €5.4bn as of 30 June 2025, notably driven solid fundraising in Direct Lending strategies, which charge management fees on invested capital as well as the continuation fund linked to Egis and the launch of the unit-linked product dedicated to European defense and security, which will begin to generate fees in the course of H2 2025.
- Non-fee-paying AuM increased 20% year-over-year to €4.8bn as of 30 June 2025, reflecting revaluations of funds in their post-investment period, leverage for some Real Estate funds and a portion of the continuation fund linked to Egis.

- Average management fee rate was resilient and stood at 0.90% in H1 2025 (vs. 0.88% in H1 2024). Its evolution reflects the fundraising mix as well as calendar effects on high fee-generating strategies.
- Performance-related revenues amounted to €13m in H1 2025, mainly coming from the third vintage of Direct Lending strategy, co-investment vehicles linked to Egis and Capital Markets Strategies' fixed income funds.
Performance-related revenues represent a significant value-creation driver embedded in Tikehau Capital's operating model with €24bn of AuM eligible to carried interest as of 30 June 2025, representing a 17% year-over-year growth. This profit engine is not yet crystallized in its financial statements, given the firm's conservative accounting policy. Unrealized performance-related revenues for Tikehau Capital, provisioned within the Group's funds stand at approximately €215m24 at 31 March 2025. This amount only reflects a portion of the long-term value creation potential linked to this type of revenues and will increase as the funds approach maturity and crystallize their performance.

- Group portfolio revenues reached €111m in H1 2025, up 42% YoY, despite unfavorable foreign exchange effects
- Realized revenues reached €114m in H1 2025, driven by an 18% growth in dividends, coupons and distributions, mainly coming from Tikehau Capital's asset management strategies, accounting for c. 70% of total realized revenues.

- Financial result reached €(33)m in H1 2025, compared to €(21)m in H1 2024. This change is due to the refinancing transaction carried out during the first half of 2025, as well as market effects related to interest rate swap.
- After taking into account €10m of positive result from non-recurring and other items (mainly €/$ exchange rate effects), net result before tax reached €115m, up +55% year-over-year. After deducting a €(29)m tax expense and minority interests, net result, Group share reached €87m, up +50% compared to H1 2024

- Tikehau Capital recently concluded a flagship private credit transaction with the successful refinancing of Dedalus, a leading European healthcare IT provider. This deal marks the conclusion of a multi-year partnership that began in 2016, during which Tikehau Capital's balance sheet invested alongside its Direct Lending funds to support Dedalus' rapid growth and international expansion.
Over the investment period, Dedalus' revenues grew sixfold, and the Group's €180 million financing package played a key role in supporting strategic acquisitions. The 2025 refinancing, arranged by KKR and ClearLake, generated strong returns and P&L for both the Group's Direct Lending funds and balance sheet, with 1.9x of Net MOIC and 14.2% of Net IRR. This transaction demonstrates the power of the Group's integrated investment approach and its ability to deliver value through disciplined, partnership-driven investing.
- On 28 July 2025, Eurogroup's main shareholder EMS and leading Asian private equity firm FountainVest announced a strategic alliance to accelerate the company's global growth. As part of this transaction, Tikehau Capital, Eurogroup's second largest shareholder, has agreed to sell its entire stake, held through its first vintage of Private Equity energy transition fund, to FountainVest at a significant premium, supporting the company's next phase of expansion. This follows Tikehau Capital's pivotal role in Eurgroup's journey since 2020, including its support during the company's successful IPO on Euronext Milan in 2023.
The deal, expected to close in H1 2026, will result in a new majority shareholding structure and a subsequent tender offer to delist Eurogroup from Euronext Milan. Tikehau Capital is proud to have supported Eurogroup's transformation into a global leader in electrification and energy transition, and welcomes this new chapter for the company.
SHARE BUY-BACK
- Tikehau Capital announces that it has extended until 23 October 2025 (included), the date of the Group's Q3 2025 announcement, the share buy-back mandate, which was signed and announced on 19 March 2020 and extended until today.
- As of 30 July 2025, 6,221,828 shares were repurchased under the share buy-back mandate. The description of the share buy-back program (published in paragraph 8.3.4 of the Tikehau Capital Universal Registration Document filed with the French Financial Markets Authority on
20 March 2025 under number D.25-0123) is available on the company's website in the Regulated Information section (https://www.tikehaucapital.com/en/shareholders/regulated-information).
OUTLOOK
- Favorable structural tailwinds are expected to continue to support the expansion of private markets globally. In this context, Tikehau Capital is well positioned to navigate ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, capitalizing on by its defensive portfolio construction, disciplined investment approach and compounding balance sheet.
- The Group's multi-local presence, thematic investment strategies and strong European footprint are proving increasingly relevant amid rising investor interest in the region.
- Tikehau Capital continues to view its balance sheet as a key asset, having driven the growth of its Asset Management platform. As the firm's well-established Asset Management strategies scale and capital is recycled, capital intensity in these strategies will decrease. Capital allocation will be increasingly rebalanced from these mature strategies toward scaling adjacencies, innovation, and ecosystem investments. Tikehau Capital will prioritize selective investments to generate complementary profits, enhance Return on Equity, and maintain strong alignment with clients.
- Looking ahead, Tikehau Capital anticipates an acceleration in both revenues and FRE generation in the second half of the year, while maintaining its disciplined approach to cost management.
- Tikehau Capital has set ambitious targets for 2026 that continue to define its strategic vision (generate €65bn of AuM, €250m of Fee-Relating Earnings and €500m of net income). While these goals remain central to its drive for excellence, they remain merely milestones in the Group's long-term growth journey, and their ultimate achievement will naturally depend on the evolving economic and geopolitical landscape.
