STOCKHOLM, July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- "I am pleased to report that we are executing on EQT's defined strategy, despite the ongoing pandemic and challenging markets - it proves how resilient and long-term our business model is. We have signed an agreement to divest EQT Credit, we see good fundraising momentum and recently announced the target fund size for EQT Infrastructure V at EUR 12.5 billion. We are also breaking new grounds with the ESG-linked credit facility related to EQT IX, the largest ever in the global fund financing markets. And deals are being made across the different business segments, albeit fewer exits. Within the portfolio, our longstanding thematic investment strategy, makes the companies more resilient and less affected by the crisis. But we are all affected one way or the other, we stay cautious - prepare for the worst and hope for the best - while also capturing opportunities."

Christian Sinding, CEO

Information on EQT AB's financial reporting

The EQT AB Group has a long-term business model founded on a promise to its fund investors to invest capital, drive value creation and create consistent attractive returns over a 5 to 10-year horizon. The Group's financial model is primarily affected by the size of its fee-generating assets under management, the performance of the EQT funds and its ability to recruit and retain top talent. he Group operates in a market driven by long-term trends and thus believes quarterly financial statements are less relevant for investors in EQT AB's share. However, in order to provide the market with relevant and suitable information about the Group's development, EQT publishes quarterly announcements with key operating numbers that are relevant for the business performance (taking Nasdaq's guidance note for preparing interim management statements into consideration). In addition, EQT AB publishes a half-year report and a year-end report including financial statements and further information relevant for investors in the EQT share. EQT also publishes an annual report including sustainability reporting.
