DeA Capital performed well in FY18 despite turbulent financial markets, developing its alternative asset management platform and growing AUM. Minority interests have been eliminated and net asset value grew. Strong cash flow continues, driven by net distributions from maturing fund investments, sufficient to fund reinvestment and strong distributions. The board is proposing payment of an unchanged €0.12 per share dividend in the current year, a yield of almost 9%. Our adjusted net asset value per share is unchanged at €1.94, c 40% ahead of the share price.

AAM growth and platform development
Q418 assets under management (AUM) increased to c €11.9bn (end-Q319 c €11.4bn; end-FY17: c €11.7bn), supported by new fund launches. Asset management fees grew strongly, including private equity performance fees (we estimate €2.5m). The year-end net financial position was €100.6m, up from €61.8m at end-FY17 adjusted for €30.5m dividends distributed. During Q418 DeA paid €40m to increase its ownership of DeA Capital Real Estate to 94% from 64.3%, and since year-end has increased its ownership to 100% in a treasury share exchange. We welcome this development because it increases DeA’s exposure to alternative asset management (AAM), reduces complexity and provides greater flexibility in managing the platform. End-FY18 NAV per share was €1.84 (end-Q318: 1.83; end-FY17: €1.80 adjusted for DPS paid since).
Platform investment
Already a leader in Italy in alternative assets, providing an integrated platform comprising private equity, real estate and non-performing loans, DeA has a strong, liquid balance sheet, with high levels of cash flow, to support further growth in Italy and into wider Europe. 100% ownership of DeA Capital Real Estate represents a simpler, more flexible, and potentially more efficient base from which to expand the real estate platform from Italy into broader Europe. The recent creation of real estate advisory and consultancy subsidiaries in Spain and France are the first steps in this development.
Valuation: Cash flow for yield and growth
The discount to IFRS NAV has narrowed to 23% but remains large, and its P/BV is the lowest amongst peers. The discount to our adjusted NAV (see page 6), unchanged at €1.94, is a larger 28%. A strong balance sheet and cash flow position support an attractive yield and provide resources for investment to grow AAM further.
The Italian leader in alternative assets
DeA Capital is a leader in the Italian AAM sector. It manages assets of around €11.9bn across its integrated AAM platform, comprising private equity, real estate and NPLs, and operates as an investor in its own funds managed, and invests directly, from its permanent capital base. The group is majority-owned by De Agostini, a family-owned private group founded in 1901, itself owned by the Boroli and Drago families. De Agostini operates in the media, gaming, services and, through DeA Capital, AAM sectors. De Agostini has a 58.3% stake in DeA and, through the loyalty share scheme approved by shareholders in 2015, has a voting interest of 67%.
The AAM platform mainly comprises DeA Capital Real Estate, in which DeA has recently increased its ownership to 100%, the leading real estate manager in Italy with AUM of €9.5bn (measured by total managed assets) and DeA Capital Alternative Funds, which manages €2.4bn (measured by total commitments) of private equity funds. In addition, 45%-owned associate YARD provides property services to the real estate sector, including DeA. Key strategic goals for the AAM business are to further expand the base of investors and the range of products offered and DeA recently announced the creation of real estate advisory and consultancy subsidiaries in France and Spain, the first steps in creating a pan-European real estate platform. AAM continues to have good growth potential as low interest rates continue to stimulate demand for alternative assets (private equity, real assets and hedge funds) from investors seeking sustainable yields.
DeA’s private equity investment strategy is focused on increasing the value of the existing portfolio while seeking new opportunities for co-investment/club deals, both directly with own capital and alongside the funds managed. It also invests to support the growth of the AAM platform, investing in new capabilities and seeding new fund launches.
DeA has a strong and liquid balance sheet. Net asset value at 31 December 2018 was €466m, or €1.84 per share. The net assets of the AAM business (41%), investments in private equity and real estate funds (27%), and a significant net financial position (22%), together represent 90% of the NAV. The direct investment portfolio account represents the balance.
For a detailed analysis of DeA Capital and its strategy, please see our June Outlook note.

AAM platform continuing to develop and grow
The board of directors of DeA Capital has approved the consolidated financial statements and the draft annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. Shareholders will meet to approve the results in April. 2018 and the early months of 2019 have seen a number of initiatives aimed at furthering the growth and international reach of DeA’s AAM platform, including new fund launches, increasing ownership of DeA Capital Real Estate to 100%, and taking the first steps in the creation of a pan-European real estate platform with new subsidiaries in France and Spain.
Alternative asset management
In this section we review financial and operational developments in DeA’s asset management platform, as well as our forecasts for the current year. The key points of note are:
■
Growth in AUM. Alternative AUM increased to €11.9bn as at 31 December 2018 compared with €11.4bn as at 30 September and €11.7bn as at 31 December 2017. New funds launched and managed during the year by DeA’s alternative asset management platform amounted to c €1.3bn, partly offset by maturing and liquidating funds. Within this, eight new DeA Capital Real Estate funds contributed c €1.0bn while the contribution from DeA Capital Alternative Funds included the launches of IDeA Capital Agro Fund in July (€80m commitment), and the Shipping segment (“CCR Shipping”) of the IDeA Corporate Credit Recovery II Fund (€170m commitment) in December 2018. IDeA Capital Agro Fund is the first Italian private equity fund dedicated to investments in Italian agricultural businesses with eco-sustainable business models. CCR Shipping is a new segment for the IDeA Corporate Credit Recovery II Fund, dedicated to acquiring shipping loans from banking partners.
■
Strong growth in management fees. For the year as a whole, consolidated alternative asset management fees increased 7.7% to €62.4m including a significant Q418 contribution from performance fees earned on the Investitori Associati IV private equity fund, originally promoted by Investitori Associati SGR but managed in run-off by DeA Capital Alternative Funds since 2015. We believe the performance fee contribution was c €2.5m, and although it is non-recurring in nature, DeA management is hopeful that the continuing run-off progress will generate further significant payments. Excluding the performance fee income, we estimate that fees increased by c 3% in FY18.
■
Big uplift in AAM platform earnings. DeA reports that the net operating result of the AAM platform (DeA Capital Real Estate and DeA Capital Alternative Funds) increased to €15.3m in FY18 compared with €13.4m at end-FY17. This figure is adjusted for non-recurring items such as investment gains and losses and goodwill impairment, as well as non-cash amortisation of intangibles.
■
Results also beat Edison AAM estimates. Our own analysis tracks the AAM division, which as well as the AAM platform, includes YARD, the group’s 45% owned property management associate and certain other activities. The Edison adjusted AAM divisional profit after tax and minorities was €12.9m in FY18, an increase of 35% on FY17. Our forecast, not including the Q418 performance fees, had been €10bn.
■
IFRS basis AAM earnings benefit also from non-repeat of goodwill impairment. On an unadjusted reported basis, the AAM divisional net profit after tax and minorities was €9.1m, a significant improvement on FY17, which included a €34.2m goodwill impairment at DeA Capital Real Estate (€22.0m attributable to DeA shareholders). The FY18 adjustments (see Exhibit 2) include the reversal of non-cash purchase price amortisation (PPA), net negative movements in the realised and unrealised value of investments (primarily a €4.5m pre-tax unrealised loss in real estate funds in the year), and the reduction in the value of financial equity instruments based on the legacy carried interest in certain real estate funds (SFP).
■
DeA Capital Real Estate minority reduced in FY18 and now eliminated. In November 2018, DeA completed the acquisition of an additional c 29.7% of DeA Capital Real Estate, from minority partner INPS, increasing DeA’s ownership to c 94.0%. The consideration for the acquisition of the stake was €40m, based on the book value of DeA Capital Real Estate, wholly financed from DeA’s significant internal cash resources. In addition, there is a maximum earn-out of €4.5m over the three-year period 2019–21 that is subject to DeA Capital meeting undisclosed set targets for new assets under management. In March 2019, DeA acquired the remaining 6%, also at book value, that was owned by Fondazione Carispezia, a private foundation that remains one of the main shareholders in the Italian bank, Credit Agricole Carispezia. The €8m consideration has been settled with DeA treasury shares, which are subject to a six-month lock up, and the agreement also includes a maximum earn-out of €0.9m. The implied value placed on the c 5.2m treasury shares issued is c €1.55, above the market price. We believe this development is positive as it underlines DeA’s focus on the growth of its AAM platform, increases the share of AAM earnings within the group, appears to us to be attractively priced, and is a significant move towards simplifying the DeA corporate structure.
■
Pan-European platform development. As part of the development strategy in AAM, DeA has begun to create a pan-European real estate platform, building on its existing leading position in Italy. The creation of a subsidiary in France in September 2018 was followed by a similar move in Spain in February 2019 to cover Iberian markets. The new companies are majority owned by DeA (and the balance by experienced local management) and aim to develop real estate advisory and consultancy activities for fund-raising and real estate management. Our FY19 forecasts allow for additional costs (c €2.5m) with no allowance for immediate revenues, which may prove conservative.
■
FY19 AAM forecast slightly increased. We have updated our model, including the minority charge elimination, with the effect that forecast Edison adjusted net income after tax and (previously) minorities increases from €12.2m to €12.5m.

Other group comments
■
Increased NAV. Net asset value per share closed the year at €1.84, up from €1.83 at end-Q3 despite turbulent markets at the end of the year, and up from €1.80 at end-FY17, adjusted for the €0.12 per share distribution paid in May 2018 (FY17: €0.12 per share). The board proposes a similar €0.12 per share payment in 2019 in respect of FY18, an almost 9% yield on the share price.
■
Strong cash generation for distribution and platform investment. The holding company net financial position at end-FY18 was €100.6m, after the €40m payment to acquire DeA Capital Real Estate minorities, and up from €92.3m at the end of FY17, before the payment of €30.5m in distributions. Net distributions from own-managed private equity fund co-investments continue to drive strong cash flow, and during FY18 amounted to c €80m. We expect net flows to remain strong, although not as strong as FY18, with perhaps c €100m net distributions over the next three years, driven by maturing private equity funds.
■
As previously announced, DeA will propose to the shareholder meeting the cancellation of 40m of the treasury shares acquired over the past few years under its ongoing share repurchase programme. Although this will have no impact on reported liquidity, NAV, earnings or EPS, as the treasury shares are deducted from this calculation, we welcome the move as we believe it shows that management believes its significant net positive financial position is sufficient to support its current growth plans without the need to reissue the shares.
Forecasts and valuation
Little change in group forecasts
As noted above, AUM, management fees and AAM earnings were all above our expectations in FY18, with the Q4 performance fees earned being the main driver of the difference. Also as noted above, we have increased our forecast Edison adjusted AAM net income after tax and minorities for FY19 from €12.2m to €12.5m. For the group as a whole, forecasts for FY19 show a high but slightly lower holding company net financial position (c €87m versus c €92m previously) and a slightly lower NAV per share (€1.77 versus €1.78). As previously, in addition to our estimates for the AAM profit contribution, our NAV forecasts seek to capture at least part of the potential for growth in NAV from the majority of the investment portfolio that is not captured within the AAM segment. This includes the private equity fund holdings and the direct investments (Kenan Investments/Migros, Crescita/Cellularline and IDeaMI). We assume 7.5% per year ‘normalised’ growth in the carried value of all of the private equity fund investments and 4% per year for real estate funds (substantially representing the expected income returns), whether carried as available for sale investments, consolidated or equity accounted. We believe this to be a useful way to capture at least some of the returns that may be earned on these investments even though our approach differs from the way these assets are actually managed, seeking to maximise IRR. Our forecasts assume no change to the last published value of (or income from) the quoted investments, Migros (Kenan Investments), Cellularline (formerly Crescita) and IDeaMI, although for valuation purposes our adjusted NAV (see below) does adjust these to market values.

Edison adjusted NAV per share unchanged at €1.94
Our adjusted NAV replaces the stated book value of the alternative asset management platform with our assessment of a fair value based on P/E multiples observed across a global peer group of both alternative and more conventional asset management companies. We also mark to market DeA’s quoted investments. For a detailed explanation of our methodology and the peer group please see our December 2018 update note.
■
Within the AAM division, from the stated NAV of €189.4m we have re-allocated the real estate funds owned (with a reduced adjustment for minority interests still applicable at year end) to what we call the ‘investments’ division. We value the division at €162.2m on an unchanged 13.0x our forecast FY19 adjusted earnings of €12.5m.

MyBucks’s (MBC’s) H119 results reveal a continuation of solid loan book expansion driven by both organic growth (especially in the banking business) and acquisitions (including Capfin and Pride). As the company is still loss making at the bottom line and generates negative operating cash flows, growth has been facilitated by both higher indebtedness and new customer deposits in H119. With the integration of entities acquired over the last years now completed, and given the recently introduced measures to reduce funding costs and operating expenses, the company should continue to gradually approach its break-even point.
