Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
New business surged with a 39% year-over-year increase in definitive commitments, reaching $872 million, and a 20% portfolio base growth, supporting long-term goals to double the business by 2030.
Portfolio modeled realizations rose by $700 million to $5.2 billion at year-end 2025, indicating strong future cash generation potential.
Realizations remained robust with 69 assets generating proceeds, but total realizations fell to $458 million from $641 million in FY24 due to fewer large case wins.
Portfolio quality remains strong, with stable loss rates and returns, and management remains optimistic about future growth potential.
Significant progress made in market expansion, including launches in Madrid and Seoul.
Financial highlights
FY25 capital provision income was $331 million, down 15% from $388 million in FY24, mainly due to fewer large wins and higher unrealized losses.
Asset management income was $36 million, down from $45 million in FY24, primarily due to lower profit-sharing from BOF-C.
Portfolio value increased from just under $3.6 billion to $3.9 billion year-over-year.
Cash and marketable securities increased to $621 million at year-end, after a $500 million bond issuance at 7.5% to refinance maturing debt.
Book value per share rose to $11.18, and tangible book value per share to $10.57 at year-end.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects continued strong new business growth and portfolio expansion, with the business well-positioned for asymmetric upside despite ongoing case duration extensions and unrealized fair value adjustments.
No specific guidance provided for 2026 realizations due to unpredictability of litigation timelines.
Long-term ROE target remains at 20%, with current multi-year ROE in the teens.
YPF-related assets are expected to deliver significant recoveries, with a $16 billion judgment against Argentina under appeal and enforcement actions ongoing.
Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, as detailed in the annual report.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
