" The first quarter of 2026 entailed mixed performance across the holdings, with several businesses delivering organic growth and improved stability, while parts of the portfolio were affected by a tougher start to the year. Within the Venture Capital segment, activity has been high, with several transaction initiatives reflecting the maturity of the portfolio. EHAB's focus during the quarter has been to continue supporting the holdings on operational and financial matters, and to position the portfolio for future value realisations and long-term value creation."
