Activity was driven by the Group’s international footprint, particularly its European and North American offices. The quarter also saw Tikehau Capital’s first investment in the Asia Pacific region through its partnership with UOB-Kay Hian, highlighting the strength of its global deal-sourcing capabilities and multi-local platform.

Tikehau Capital’s Credit strategies deployed €1.3bn, accounting for 71% of Q1 2025 deployment, mainly driven by Direct Lending strategies and the CLO platform in Europe and the US:

• The firm maintained solid momentum for its CLO business with the pricing of its US CLO VII ($500m) and European CLO XIII (€500m). Additionally, the firm launched the warehouse of its US CLO IX ($200m);

• The firm’s Direct Lending strategies continued to benefit from an active deal flow, attributed to its pioneering position in Europe. In the first quarter, the focus was primarily on supporting existing portfolio companies, particularly through add-on financings and follow-on transactions. Asset selection is key for the firm, and Tikehau Capital remained disciplined in its deployment, carefully managing leverage levels and maintaining stringent documentation standards:

  • The first quarter was notably marked by the inaugural investment of the Asia Pacific Strategy launched in partnership with UOB-Kay Hian⁴, through the structuring of a $60m Senior Secured Facility for Cladtek Holdings, a Singapore-based supplier of corrosion-resistant alloy pipe solutions;

  • In February 2025, Tikehau Capital arranged and secured a €150m financing package to support Bridgepoint in increasing its stake in SAMY Alliance⁵, a Spanish-based social media agency helping top brands such as Microsoft, Bimbo and L’Oréal enhance their online presence. This transaction reaffirms Tikehau Capital’s strong presence in the Iberian market, with over €800 million invested in private debt transactions and €400 million in exits across 10 deals.

• Tikehau Capital, through its Special Opportunities strategy, acted as a lead arranger on a €80m Senior Secured Loan Facility to support the development of cutting-edge modular data center designed for High-Performance Computing (HPC) near Oslo, Norway. This transaction underscores Tikehau Capital’s commitment to financing innovative infrastructure projects that supports Europe’s technological transformation and the growing demand for high-performance computing solutions.

Tikehau Capital’s Real Assets strategies deployed €0.2bn, accounting for 11% of Q1 2025 deployment. The firm continued to leverage its robust origination capabilities across geographies to source compelling off-market investment opportunities, in an overall muted market:

• The first quarter was marked by the second transaction of the firm’s second vintage of European value-add strategy in Germany. Alongside residential real estate company Forte, Tikehau Capital acquired two residential properties in Cologne and the greater Cologne area⁶, comprising 25,000 square meters of rental space and around 300 residential units;

• Additionally, in March 2025, Tikehau Capital completed, through a club-deal, the off-market acquisition of a multifamily residential building located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Originally built in 1963, the building comprises 179 residential units across a total leasable area of 174,387 square feet.

Tikehau Capital’s Private Equity strategies deployed €0.3bn, accounting for 18% of Q1 2025 deployment:

• The first quarter was marked by the second investment for Tikehau Capital’s Private Equity strategy dedicated to Regenerative Agriculture, with the acquisition of a controlling stake in Juan Navarro Garcia (JNG)⁷, a Spanish leading processor and distributor of paprika and oleoresins, internationally recognized for its product quality, safety and traceability, for approximately €43m;

• In January 2025, Tikehau Capital announced that its flagship Private Equity decarbonization strategy had signed a majority investment of approximately €150m in TTSP HWP⁸, a German technical advisor providing engineering, design and project management services for the development of large and complex data centers;

• Finally, in February 2025, Tikehau Capital, through its private equity cybersecurity strategy and alongside Armira Growth, announced a €65m investment in FTAPI⁹, a German provider of secure data exchange solutions.

Looking ahead, Tikehau Capital benefits from a promising pipeline of deployment opportunities across asset classes. At 31 March 2025, Tikehau Capital had €6.4bn of dry powder¹⁰ (compared to €7.0bn at 31 December 2024), supporting the funds managed by the firm to capture attractive investment opportunities.

CONTINUED POSITIVE REALIZATIONS MOMENTUM

In the first quarter of 2025, realizations within Tikehau Capital’s closed-ended funds amounted to €0.7bn, bringing realizations over the last twelve months to €2.6bn. In Q1 2025, Credit strategies accounted for 90% of total exit, followed by Real Assets at 9% and Private Equity at 1%. The Group’s investment teams have remained actively engaged in enhancing operational performance across portfolio companies and assets, positioning themselves to capitalize on attractive exit opportunities.

Within Credit strategies realizations were primarily driven by the firm’s Direct Lending, Corporate Lending, Tactical Strategies, corresponding to financing repayments as well as activity on the CLO platform:

• The first quarter was notably marked by the repayment of a €75.6m Unitranche to AntlanticGeo (formerly Terratest’s subsidiary in the US), a Spanish global geotechnical engineering and foundations solutions provider;

• In addition, during the first quarter, Tikehau Capital was repaid of its €50m exposure to Groupe Santiane, a French B2B and B2C insurance broker mainly specialized in the conception and distribution of individual Health & Protection contracts;

• On the CLO platform, Q1 2025 was marked by the liquidation of European CLO I, with approximately €250m of capital returned to investors. European CLO I was issued in 2015, refinanced in 2017 and reset in 2021. Since the 2021 reset, the deal delivered a net IRR of 11.8% and net MOIC of 1.4x for equity tranche holders.

Realizations in Real Assets strategies were mainly driven by asset disposals of mid-sized and granular assets from the firm’s real estate vehicles, notably from portfolios of residential assets in Iberia and from individual sales of light industrial assets in France.

NET NEW MONEY MAINTAINED AT A HIGH LEVEL

Tikehau Capital raised €1.6bn in Q1 2025, an 11% improvement compared to Q1 2024, bringing net new money over the last twelve months to €7.2bn. This performance reflects the firm’s robust commercial activity, driven by its multi-local and diversified platform and performance track-record. The firm’s capacity to offer a wide range of investment strategies, each addressing specific needs of its investor-clients, has also played a key role in successfully accommodating allocation shifts across asset classes and fostering sustained growth.

Tikehau Capital continued to broaden and globalize its client base in the first quarter:

• 75% of third-party inflows came from international investors¹¹, led by strong momentum in the UK, US and Spain,

• Private investors accounted for 38% of third-party inflows, supported by the continued success of the Group’s private debt unit-linked products, Opale Capital and fixed income strategies.

In the first quarter, Net New Money was driven by the following developments:

• Ongoing fundraising for the sixth vintage of Tikehau Capital’s Direct Lending strategy, reaching €3.2bn of AuM¹² at 31 March 2025;

• Ongoing fundraising for the second vintage of the Group’s Credit Secondaries strategy, progressing well towards target size;

• Continued momentum for the Group’s CLO business:

  • In Q1 2025, Tikehau Capital launched the warehouse of its US CLO IX ($200m);

  • In addition, the Group successfully priced its US CLO VII ($500m) and
    European CLO XIII (€500m), both at an upsized amount, reflecting strong demand from both existing and new investors. Those achievements reaffirm Tikehau Capital’s established track record in managing and printing CLOs across market cycles;

  • At 31 March 2025, the Group has three CLO warehouses open, positioning itself to remain nimble and capitalize of potentially dislocated markets.

• The final close of the firm’s third vintage of Special Opportunities strategy, which has raised a record level of €1.2bn¹³, exceeding its initial target of €1 billion and nearly doubling the size of the previous vintage, demonstrating the increasing demand for flexible solutions. The fundraise includes the flagship vehicle for the Group’s special opportunities strategy as well as bespoke mandates and co-investments vehicles. At 31 March 2025, the firm’s third vintage of Special Opportunities strategy was more than 50% deployed;

• Additional third-party inflows for the firm’s second vintage of Private Equity Decarbonization;

• Continued momentum for Tikehau Short Duration and sustained demand for the firm’s dated funds, which benefited from robust performance within the Capital Markets Strategies.

AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO SERVING FUTURE GROWTH

• Tikehau Capital’s investment portfolio amounted to €4.4bn at 31 March 2025, compared to €4.0bn at 31 December 2024. Over the quarter, the main variations in the portfolio were the following:

  • €596m of capital calls and investments, mainly driven by additional acquisition of shares in Schroders Plc. On 24 February 2025, Tikehau Capital’s stake reached 5.2% of Schroders Plc’s capital. The quarter also included capital calls and investments across the Group’s own Asset Management strategies (particularly in CLOs, Private Equity and Real Assets strategies) and co-investments alongside its strategies;

  • €118m of exits, including returns of capital driven by the firm’s CLOs strategies;

  • €4m of fair value changes reflecting negative market effects on listed REITs, offset by positive revaluations in Real Assets and Private Equity strategies;

  • -€49m of foreign exchange effects, linked to €/$ movements.

• Tikehau Capital’s investment portfolio at 31 March 2025 was composed of:

  • €3.1bn of investments in the Asset Management strategies developed and managed by the Group (69% of total portfolio¹⁴), generating a substantial alignment of interests with its investor-clients;

  • €1.4bn (31% of total portfolio) invested in ecosystem and direct investments, notably direct private equity investments, co-investments, investments in third-party funds or minority investments in asset managers, most of which aim at serving Tikehau Capital’s Asset Management franchise globally.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Tikehau Capital announced several key management changes aimed at strengthening its leadership structure as the Group enters a new growth phase and global ambition.

• Maxime Laurent-Bellue has been appointed Deputy CEO of Tikehau Capital.

• After six years of dedicated service, Frederic Giovansili, Deputy CEO of Tikehau Capital and Head of Franchise, Clients, Solutions is transitioning to a non-executive position. Frederic has played a pivotal role in building Tikehau Capital’s sales, marketing and business development platform.

• Victoria Gillam, Deputy General Counsel, Head of Investment Legal and Jean-Baptiste Feat, Global Co-CIO and Co-Head of Investment and Capital Solutions, have been appointed Co-Heads of Tikehau Capital in the UK.

The executives stepping into these roles are long-standing members of the Tikehau Capital’s leadership team, each bringing extensive experience and a proven track record of performance. Their appointment highlights the firm’s confidence in its next generation of leaders and its ongoing commitment to developing and promoting talent from within.

POST-CLOSING EVENTS

• On 7 April 2025, Tikehau Capital announced the successful completion of its tender offer alongside its new bond issue. The Group issued €500 million of senior unsecured bonds carrying an annual fixed coupon of 4.250%. The strong investor demand, with an oversubscription of 2.8 times, reflects the Group’s solid credit profile and investor confidence in a challenging market environment. The issuance attracted a diverse international base of institutional investors, further reinforcing Tikehau Capital’s financial strength and visibility.

• The proceeds of this new issue will be used for Tikehau Capital’s general corporate purposes, and, in an amount of €200 million, to purchase the existing bonds tendered to the tender offer announced on 28 March 2025 on its existing €500 million 2.250% bonds issued on 14 October 2019 and maturing on 14 October 2026.

• These transactions allow the Company to manage its debt maturity profile and liquidity in an efficient manner by extending its average debt’s maturity to 4.2 years¹⁵, compared to 3.6 years without these transactions.

SHARE BUY-BACK

• Tikehau Capital announces that it has extended until 30 July 2025 (included), the date of the Group’s 2025 first half results announcement, the share buy-back mandate, which was signed and announced on 19 March 2020 and extended until today.

• As of 24 April 2025, 6,102,390 shares were repurchased under the share buy-back mandate. The description of the share buy-back program (published in paragraph 8.3.4 of the Tikehau Capital Universal Registration Document filed with the French Financial Markets Authority on
  20 March 2025 under number D.25-0123) is available on the company’s website in the Regulated Information section (https://www.tikehaucapital.com/en/shareholders/regulated-information).

OUTLOOK

• In a context of renewed volatility and uncertainty, Tikehau Capital stands out with its defensive, multi-country profile, well-established thematic strategies and disciplined investment approach. The Group remains highly vigilant regarding the evolution of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and the potential impacts on transaction activity and portfolio companies and assets.

• Tikehau Capital’s portfolios have minimal direct exposure to tariffs, with <1% of portfolio companies generating more than 20% of their revenues in the US. The Group’s investment footprint is primarily focused on Europe, which accounts for approximately 84% of its assets. The Group maintains low sector concentration and limited exposure to North America with only 9% of assets located in the region and <3% of revenue from its European portfolio¹⁶ generated in the U.S. The private assets portfolio is mainly invested in sectors insulated from tariff impact, which together represent approximately 75% of exposure¹⁷, including principally software, commercial and professional services and healthcare services.

• Current market volatility, driven by tightening liquidity and recent trade tariffs, is creating compelling opportunities. As a liquidity provider, Tikehau Capital is well-positioned to capitalize on these dynamics through its well-established strategies such as Credit Secondaries and Tactical Strategies. The Group is also favorably positioned to capture opportunities in core and value-add Real Estate. In addition, momentum remains strong in Decarbonization while interest is accelerating in Aerospace, Defense and Cybersecurity within Private Equity – sectors where the Group has built a solid and realized track-record.

• Investor sentiment towards Europe is strengthening, driven by renewed confidence in the region’s economic and strategic direction. With the revival of industrial policies and a growing focus on long-term investment priorities, Europe is entering a new phase of value creation. Tikehau Capital is seeing growing interest from global allocators, especially in Asia and the Middle East, on its European strategies. With a strong local footprint and a focus on key themes, the Group is well positioned to capture the opportunities emerging from this reshaped landscape.

• Tikehau Capital has set ambitious targets for 2026 that continue to define its strategic vision (generate €65bn of AuM, €250m of Fee-Relating Earnings and €500m of net income). While these goals remain central to its drive for excellence, they remain merely milestones in the Group’s long-term growth journey, and their ultimate achievement will naturally depend on the evolving economic and geopolitical landscape.
