Virginie Morgon, Chairwoman of the Executive Board, declared: "Eurazeo's excellent business performance at the end of September is a fitting testament to the strength of its fundamentals and its strategic priorities. The twofold increase in fundraising, which has reached a new record high, illustrates the trust that investors have placed in Eurazeo's ability to invest in the best companies and the most buoyant sectors. The relevance of these choices has also been demonstrated through steady realizations that have created significant value, and deployment in the tech, healthcare, financial services and energy transition sectors. Furthermore, with 20% of AUM already allocated to a more inclusive, low-carboneconomy, Eurazeo has strengthened its position as ESG leader and renewed its commitment to making a positive impact on the economy. With these solid cornerstones, Eurazeo has got what it takes to stay on the offensive in a context of global recover y."

Over 9 months, Eurazeo raised €3bn from limited partners, nearly twice that raised period- on-period.The excellent first-halfmomentum continued in Q3, with fundraising in several major programs surpassing initial targets (Growth, Secondaries, Private Debt) and the launch of fundraising in the fourth Small-MidBuyout program.

Considering the successes achieved since the beginning of the year, the Group expects 2021 fundraising to break the €4bn mark.

Furthermore, Eurazeo has announced its intention to raise its stake in Kurma Partners by acquiring an additional 30% of its capital. It now holds 70.6%. Kurma Partners is a French venture capital firm managing around €500m in assets that specializes in biotechnologies and medical innovation. Following the decision of the French Insurance Federation (FFA) and Caisse des Dépôts to entrust Eurazeo with the management of the Nov Santé fund, the increase in the Group's stake in Kurma Partners confirms Eurazeo's position as a leading investor in healthcare.

Over 9M 2021, Group's deployment surged in all asset classes, totaling €4.1bn compared to €1.7bn over 9M 2020. The Group has set up divisions offering cross-cutting sector expertise in buoyant segments such as Tech and Digital, Healthcare and the Green Economy. This expertise enables the Group to enjoy a very rich dealflow and remain particularly selective in its deployment.

Realizations completed over 9M 2021 rose sharply to €2.4bn (vs €0.7bn over 9M 2020), as the Group continued its ambitious asset divestment program in a buoyant environment.

2. REVENUE FROM THE ASSET MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY

The asset management activity posted solid revenue growth in 9M 2021, demonstrating the platform's appeal.

The development of this strategic business creates numerous synergies within the Group, mainly through risk diversification, the greater investment universe, the increase in the share of recurring foreseeable income, the leverage impact on costs and the appeal for talents.

  • Management fees increased by +24% to €221m for the nine months ended September 30,
    2021 and break down as follows: i) management activities for limited partners up by +36% to €158m, driven by the embedded effect of good fundraising in 2020 and H1 2021; ii) management fees calculated on Eurazeo's balance sheet of €62m, up slightly by +1% due to numerous recent realizations and completed syndications;
  • Realized performance fees were substantial during the period (€75m) due to completed realizations, and accrued for Growth companies whose change in fair value was taken to P&L.

3. PORTFOLIO REVENUE

Portfolio economic revenue carried on the balance sheet rose by 20% over 9M 2021 at constant Eurazeo scope. Excluding the Travel & Leisure segment (T&L), economic revenue rose sharply by +23% compared to 9M 2020.

As a reminder, the comparable base for the first nine months of 2020 was high. Compared to 9M 2019, economic revenue excluding T&L at constant Eurazeo scope increased by +21%. This striking performance once again demonstrates the quality of the Group's portfolio.

The Growth portfolio benefits from its digital native positioning and reported weighted average revenue growth of approximately 50% in Q3 2021 (not included in the figures below as the companies are not consolidated).

Travel & Leisure segment revenue has shown encouraging signs of recovery but has yet to fully regain its 2019 level: the occupancy rate of Grape Hospitality hotels stood at over 60% in Q3 and WorldStrides student travel bookings indicate the strong likelihood of a more marked turnaround in 2022. These two assets represent less than 3% of NAV as of September 30, 2021.

Given the strong capitalization of portfolio companies and their performance, the Group does not expect to provide them with additional financial support.

4. ESG COMMITMENT

An ESG (environmental, social and governance) pioneer for nearly 20 years, Eurazeo has again sought to integrate the highest ESG standards, with the launch of its "O+" strategy in 2020.

In 2021, the Group stepped up its commitments and accelerated its investments to drive forward the transition to a more inclusive, low-carbon economy: 20% of its private equity assets, i.e. around €4bn, are already dedicated to this focus.

Committed to accelerating the emergence of a more inclusive, low-carbon economy, Eurazeo has incorporated ESG criteria into each of its investment strategies, as illustrated by some 80% of its active funds having Article 8 or 9 classification under the new European Disclosure regulation.

Decarbonization and inclusion are two pillars of the Group's ESG strategy:

  • With respect to decarbonization, Eurazeo has submitted a CO2 emissions reduction trajectory calculated using the SBTi methodology, the most stringent benchmark in this area. In one year, Eurazeo has already reduced its carbon emissions by 27% and increased its share of renewable energies to 56%.
  • With respect to inclusion, women accounted for 50% of hirings in the past nine months, raising the company's gender diversity rate to 43%. Furthermore, 73% of the 160,000 employees working in the Group's portfolio companies across the globe now benefit from a health plan.

Eurazeo also joined the initiative to bring about a green economy at the One Planet Sovereign Wealth Funds (OPSWF) fourth annual summit by signing the One Planet Private Equity Funds Statement on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures.
