LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
"Closing the biggest infrastructure fund of the year in the current fundraising environment, in which investors face allocation and liquidity constraints,
is a standout achievement."
2024 was another successful year for Antin, marked by such major achievements as record financial results, the biggest fundraise in the infrastructure sector worldwide to close during the year and continued solid showing by our funds and operating companies. This performance is all the more remarkable in that it was achieved in a challenging market environment for private markets.
The highlight of the year was the final closing in
Closing the biggest infrastructure fund of the year in the current fundraising environment, in which investors face allocation and liquidity constraints, is a standout achievement. This attests to Antin's successful track record over the past 17 years and underscores the trust investors place in our investment strategies and expertise. We thank them for their continued partnership.
Antin delivered strong financial results in 2024, with record high levels for Assets Under Management (AUM), Fee-paying AUM, revenue, EBITDA and net income, resulting in a significant cash distribution to shareholders. All our Funds are performing on or ahead of plan and we have a strong portfolio of 29 companies.
We continued to execute our three strategies - Flagship, Mid Cap and NextGen - while maintaining a disciplined "performance first" approach, governed by our Antin infrastructure test and focused on attractive risk-adjusted returns. While capital deployment has slowed in the current environment, leading to a lengthening of the fund investment period compared to prior Flagship vintages, Antin closed five investments in 2024, of which four by Fund V and one by NextGen I.
Our focus remains on sustainable investments. With recent investments in renewable energy platform
hydrogen transportation and storage equipment leasing company
Looking forward, we expect 2025 to be a transition year, but also a year of great opportunities. The closing of Fund V, which is already 40% deployed in high quality and scalable platforms, sets a solid foundation for future growth. We also anticipate a resumption of exit activity across the industry as inflation normalises, interest rates decrease and the macroeconomic environment continues its gradual improvement. With investors looking for capital returns, our investment teams remain focused on value creation initiatives and on continuing to improve the performance of our portfolio companies.
We also continue to thoughtfully grow our firm, with a special emphasis on the US, where we are consistently growing our team and presence. In parallel, we've continued embedding sustainability factors into our investment and asset management processes and made further progress towards our portfolio-level decarbonisation target of having 100% of equity invested in companies with Science Based Targets (SBTs) by 2040, from 15% today.
While we expect to face some headwinds in the short term, we remain very confident that the infrastructure asset class has a bright future ahead, underpinned by supportive secular trends such as electrification, decarbonisation and the exponential growth of data. Antin is well positioned to remain a leader and a winner in its field, delivering superior returns for its stakeholders.
