Executive summary
Consolidated net income for 2024 was €98 million, down from €234 million in 2023, mainly due to lower fair value of investments, reduced dividends, and impairments, partially offset by higher results from associates and smaller real estate fair value declines.
Net Asset Value (NAV) decreased by 1.1% to €5,733 million (€95.07 per share) at year-end 2024.
Share price surged 73.5% to €83.30 per share, driven by the December 2024 announcement of a delisting Public Tender Offer at €84.20 per share.
Investments totaled €102 million and asset sales €19 million, resulting in net debt of €13 million at year-end.
Dividend of €0.96 per share (€58 million) was distributed in June 2024.
Financial highlights
