Performance We invested €317m in three new companies and follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies; we received €280m in proceeds. Positive activity In 2017, our portfolio companies again demonstrated their ability to create value: their revenue grew on average by 16% and their EBITDA by 18%, and we carried out 19 build-ups. Seven of the nine mid-sized companies in our portfolio ranked among the 150 that outperformed in France, and four of them were in the top ten. European expansion 2018 is set to be just as active as 2017. Our next challenges are to complete the Development activity’s first fundraising and continue to grow in Europe.

Value creation Apax Partners focuses the growth strategy of its portfolio companies on three specific areas: internationalisation, build-ups and digital transformation. Focused on growth Apax Partners invests primarily in companies with strong fundamentals and a potential for accelerated growth through strategic and operational change.
Collaboration Apax Partners’ relationship with the management teams is based on a shared enterprise vision, strictly aligned financial interests, and clearly defined respective roles. Small and mid-cap Apax Partners targets investments in small and mid-size companies located in Europe.
Majority or minority stakes Apax Partners typically takes majority or significant- minority stakes and has systematic representation on the Boards of its portfolio companies. We also accept minority positions if the transaction is based on a genuine partnership with the management team, which confers us certain rights. Long-term Apax Partners typically operates on a five-year investment horizon, though this depends on the specific business plans and value creation objectives.

ESG Team Apax Partners decided to allocate dedicated resources: a partner and an ESG Director to coordinate the ESG policy. For each company, Apax Partners’ ESG team provides concrete support to implement and follow through its tailor-made action plan.
A contribution at every stage of the investment process Prior to an acquisition, we: - conduct ESG due diligence; - integrate ESG principles into offers and shareholder agreements. During the holding period, we: - define a specific roadmap with management; - encourage the appointment of a company project leader; - support implementation of the action plan; - follow through the implementation and results via appropriate governance. At exit, we: - provide ESG vendor due diligence. ESG initiatives - In 2016, Apax Partners completed two pilot projects to measure ESG contribution to value creation. Both pilots confirmed a positive impact and led us to extend the initiative to other portfolio companies. - In 2015, Apax Partners launched Initiative Climate 2020 with 4 other Private Equity firms. This initiative is the first private equity commitment to manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in portfolio companies and comprises 17 signatories to date. Apax Partners contributes also to the PRI guide “Integrating ESG in private equity” with a dedicated Apax Partners case study. - Apax Partners is an active member of France Invest's ESG commission.

Portfolio performance
Operating performance Portfolio companies posted a 18% increase in their aggregate EBITDA. This performance can be benchmarked against the aggregate EBITDA of the 35 non-financial companies included in the CAC 40, which posted a 5% increase in their aggregate EBITDA. strong operating performance
Debt ratios The debt multiple of the portfolio is represented by the ratio of total net debt to EBITDA.
MidMarket The average debt multiple of the portfolio decreased at 4.2x at the end of 2017, against 4.7x at the end of 2016. This decrease of the total net debt is mainly due to the exit of Unilabs (which had a total gross debt of nearly €900m) partially compensated by the new transaction achieved in 2017, CIPRÉS Assurances. The LBO debt multiple averages 2.9x, while the average operating debt multiple is 1.3x. Regarding the repayment schedule, amortising debt (tranche A) represents 4.3% of the total LBO debt, while the remaining 95.7% is bullet debt. The portion of LBO debt with maturity dates prior to December 2019 represents 5.7% of the total.
Development The average debt multiple of the portfolio decreased from 2.4x in 2015 to 2x in 2017. This decrease is mainly due to (i) two exits in 2016 and 2017 with 4.2x leverage ratio in average and (ii) cash flow generation, partially compensated by the new transactions achieved in 2016 (Silvya Terrade Group, JVS Group and Nelite) and 2017 (Rautureau Group and Squad) with 3.7x net debt in average at the closing date.
