The comparison period January – September 2022 has been adjusted accordingly and the translation difference that is now included in last year's profit amounted to MSEK 51.1, corresponding to SEK 4.61 per share.
Comments by the CEO
The third quarter saw the NAV/share edge up by 1.2%. Over 12 months, the NAV/share has increased by 5.9%, including the FY 2022 dividend paid during the previous quarter.
Just as during the first half of 2023, the macro-economic backdrop remained challenging during the third quarter, affecting both general investor sentiment and private equity market activity. In the Nordics, private equity deal volume continued to be lower than during preceding years, notably due to tighter financing conditions.
NAXS’s portfolio nevertheless saw 3 new acquisitions and 1 exit by underlying funds during the third quarter.
Finally, you will have noticed the new reporting format implemented in this interim report, whereby we aim to make our reporting both more informative and easier to read.
