Value creation in 2020

The pandemic has had a significant impact on the entire global economy. As a result, the assets of Brederode and its subsidiaries were all affected, but in very different ways. Some investments were hard hit by the unprecedented crisis, while others benefited and were even able to take advantage of it. In total, the quality and the diversification of Brederode's assets meant that the results of the financial year remained positive despite the circumstances.

BREDERODE's net profit for the 2020 financial year was € 262 million, down 43% over that of the previous year.

The contribution to this result from the Private Equity portfolio was € 205 million. The annual performance of this part of the portfolio, expressed in terms of internal rate of return (IRR) amounted to 15.4%, in line with the ambitious objectives set.

The contribution from the listed securities portfolio was €62 million. It's annual performance was 5.3%.

During the 2020 financial year, the net asset value per share of BREDERODE rose from € 83.27to € 91.19, an increase that, taking into account the distribution of € 1.02 per share to shareholders in the course of the financial year, represents a growth of almost 10.7%. During the same period, the profit per share went from € 15.62 to € 8.94.

The Board of Directors decided at its meeting on March 9th, 2021 to propose to the General Meeting to be held on May 12th to vote in favour of a distribution to shareholders of € 1.08 per share.

Such a distribution would make it possible to devote € 230.4 million to augmenting the shareholders' equity. If the General Meeting approves this proposal, this would represent an increase of 6% in the remuneration of shareholders and the 18th consecutive annual increase.
