      Section I: Investment portfolio - Non-core asset class



  1. Non-core asset class (10% of the portfolio)

    GBL Capital is an indirect private asset activity that invests in funds and co-investments. GBL announced in Q4 2025 that it had launched the sale of a significant portion of these assets and that GBL Capital would

    no longer be making new commitments. GBL will continue to exit its GBL Capital positions over time. These disposals are in line with GBL's objective of portfolio simplification, one of the group's key strategic priorities.

    2. NAV evolution

      GBL Capital's NAV stood at €1.1bn at the end of March 2026, compared to €1.7bn at the end of December 2025. The principal contributions to the evolution were:

      • cash and receivables from the sale of assets at the end of 2025 at GBL Capital and transferred to GBL at the beginning of 2026; and

      • the Q1 2026 closings of the disposals of certain funds identified as sold or held for sale at the end of 2025.

As for the remaining portfolio, its NAV slightly increased thanks to its positive change in fair value. The increase in fair value of the funds (mainly ICONIQ, Human Capital and Sienna PE Fund I) was partially offset by the decrease in fair value of Flora Food Group.

    Listed assets - highlights

    GBL continues to actively support its portfolio companies, with ongoing operational progress across the portfolio1. Examples include:

    • SGS: followed the accelerated progress made in 2025 on its mid-term objectives2 with strong Q1 2026 organic sales growth of + 5.3% and nine acquisitions3. As such, SGS confirmed its full-year outlook, which includes, among other elements, + 5% to + 7% organic sales growth, and will outline the next phase of its development at a Capital Markets Event in November.

    • Pernod Ricard: continues to navigate cyclical headwinds impacting the spirits sector. Organic net sales in Q3 20264 were stable, showing sequential improvement. Excluding the US and China markets, two of the group's largest, organic net sales grew +5%. The group still anticipates improving trends in H2 2026, with FY 2026 organic net sales of - 3% to - 4%, impacted by the Middle East conflict. The group reiterates the objective of + 3% to + 6% organic growth over FY 2027 - FY 2029, supported by the deployment of a

      €1bn efficiency program over FY 2026 - FY 2029, one third of which is expected to be delivered in FY 2026. These efficiencies should drive organic operating profit5 margin expansion over

      FY 2027 - FY 2029.

    • Imerys: published Q1 2026 revenue growth of + 0.7%6, driven by both volumes and pricing,

      and an adjusted EBITDA increase of + 4.0%6. The group confirmed that it is on track to generate the

      €50m to €60m of targeted savings from its cost and performance improvement program, with more than 50% to come in 2026. As for the rest of the year, due to higher energy prices, Imerys anticipates costs to rise and has therefore initiated price increases and other measures to protect cash generation and profitability. In April, Imerys entered into a binding agreement to acquire Great Lakes Minerals,

      a US-based processor of minerals for the refractory and abrasive industries. This acquisition will strengthen Imerys' position, both from a portfolio and geographic point of view. Separately,

      the French State's €50m minority investment in the strategic EMILI lithium project has been finalized.

    • adidas: reported a Q1 2026 currency-neutral sales increase of + 14% on a challenging comparison base of

      + 17%. Growth was broad based across all markets and channels. Moreover, adidas continues to drive its margin, with a significantly improved adjusted operating margin of 10.7%, compared to 9.9% in Q1 2025. During the period, the group bought back €500m of its own shares. The group reiterated its 2026 guidance of high-single-digit growth in currency-neutral revenues and anticipates operating profit to

      increase to approximately €2.3bn (vs. €2.1bn in 2025). In addition, 2026-2028 guidance7 was confirmed.

    • Concentrix: published Q1 20268 results with revenue and profit within guidance. The group reaffirmed its FY 2026 guidance of constant currency revenue growth of 1.5% - 3.0% and expects improved operating income and sizeable free cash flow9. The outlook is supported by strong momentum in higher-value solutions.

    The healthcare assets, which account for 79% of the NAV of the direct private assets, continued their strong growth throughout the period. For Canyon, sales growth reflects ongoing momentum in Road bikes and Europe, while the market environment for (e-)mountain bikes and the US has been challenging. Canyon's new CEO,

    effective as from May 1, 2026, will prioritize the group's sustainable growth strategy.

    • Affidea: sales growth of + 17% was driven by ongoing dynamic commercial momentum and continued clinic acquisitions, including a major platform deal in Switzerland in January:

      o LabPoint: a medical diagnostics laboratory and a recognized player in laboratory medicine and genetics

      Additionally, Affidea has successfully disposed of its Hungary business as part of a disciplined portfolio optimization strategy.

    • Sanoptis: sales grew + 16%, driven by organic volume and value growth combined with accretive M&A. Organic growth of +6% was supported by continued investments in state-of-the-art equipment,

      AI & digitalization, and talent, which aim to improve the quality of patient care and operational efficiency. Sanoptis continues to execute its international expansion strategy, now capitalizing on the market leading positions it has secured in 4 out of its 6 geographies.

    • Canyon: sales grew + 4% versus Q1 2025, driven by continued momentum in Road bikes and European markets, demonstrating the underlying strength of the brand. These performances offset headwinds for (e-) mountain bikes and the challenging US macroeconomic backdrop. Meanwhile, the strategic initiatives announced in January 2026, aimed at streamlining operations and underpinning sustainable long-term profitability, are on track.
