GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patria (Nasdaq:PAX) reported today its unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. The full detailed presentation of Patria's fourth quarter and full year 2024 results can be accessed on the Shareholders section of Patria’s website at https://ir.patria.com/.
Alex Saigh, Patria’s CEO, said: “The fourth quarter capped a very exciting and transformational year for Patria. We raised $5.5 billion in 2024, inclusive of $300 million in our Advisory business, exceeding our $5 billion target. A wide variety of strategies and products, most of which did not exist at the time of our IPO four years ago, contributed to our fundraising. Our Fee Earning AUM reached $33 billion representing year-over-year growth of 38%, and we achieved our target FRE of $170 million for the full year, reflecting 15% year-over-year growth. Also, we generated Performance Related Earnings, or PRE, of $41 million, primarily reflecting the sale of Aguas Pacifico, a highly successful infrastructure investment in our Infrastructure Fund III. Overall, driven by strong FRE growth and PRE, we delivered $89 million of Distributable Earnings or $0.58 per share in the quarter and $189 million or $1.24 per share for the full year.As we look ahead to 2025, we believe we are well positioned to generate the $6 billion of fundraising and $200 to $225 million of FRE we are targeting for the full year. Our success highlights how the increased diversification of our platform and the investments we are making in distribution and new product development are translating into stronger and more diverse growth for the firm, leaving us very excited about what lies ahead.”
