3Q20 Highlights

November 13th, 2020 - This release reports the 3Q20 results of GP Investments, Ltd. ('GP') [B3: GPIV33], a leading firm in private equity and alternative investments.

Highlights of the quarter included:

  1. GP Investments' results in the third quarter of 2020 reflected the sustained volatility in capital markets, which continue to reverberate the uncertainties generated by the COVID-19 outbreak. Mark-to-market adjustments in our portfolio companies have translated into unrealized losses and the further devaluation of the Brazilian Real contributed negatively to GP's results. GP ended the quarter with a total net loss of USD 36.3 million. As of September 30, 2020, GP Investments' NAV totaled USD 239.1 million (USD 2.18 per share), a 13% decrease since last quarter.
  2. Operationally, GP continued to improve its efficiency, with 3Q20 operating expenses declining to USD 3.3 million, down 23% vs. 3Q19. The decline reflects the management's persistent focus on cost control.
