Press release MPC Capital continues profitable growth path in Q1 2025
Hamburg, May 13, 2025 - Investment and asset manager MPC Capital AG (Deutsche Börse, Scale, ISIN DE000A1TNWJ4) today presents its figures for the first quarter of 2025. Revenue increased by almost a quarter. The revenue growth - in combination with an optimized cost base and stable co-investment income - led to a result that exceeded the strong earnings level of Q1 2024. For the 2025 financial year, the Management Board is convinced that the company is in a resilient position to achieve its targets despite a challenging market environment. "We are very satisfied with the results of the first quarter. They underscore MPC Capital’s strong positioning to navigate global economic and geopolitical challenges. In addition, we can play to our strengths in volatile market phases and take advantage of opportunities to sell and purchase assets," said Constantin Baack, CEO of MPC Capital AG. "By expanding our service business in the maritime segment and the co-investment portfolio, we have built a solid foundation that offers a high level of stability through growing, recurring management fees and sustainable investment income. Operating costs were fully covered by management fees in the first quarter, underlining our positive trajectory and resilient business model." Growth in the maritime service business and strong transaction activity MPC Capital generated total revenue of EUR 11.8 million in Q1 2025 (Q1 2024: EUR 9.6 million). The expansion of the maritime service business made a significant contribution to growth, leading to an increase in recurring management fees of around 18% to EUR 9.2 million. With the integration of the ship manager Zeaborn last year and the acquisition of the performance manager Bestship in Q1 2025, MPC Capital significantly broadened its service offering and asset base. In addition, MPC Capital recorded strong transaction activity in Q1 2025, achieving year-on-year growth despite challenging market conditions. The successful capital raise for the first offshore service vessels, along with further acquisitions and disposals in connection with the renewal and decarbonization of the managed fleet, resulted in an increase in transaction fees to EUR 2.4 million (Q1 2024: EUR 1.8 million). Stable income from co-investments - profitability remains high The financial result amounted to EUR 5.3 million in Q1 2025 (Q1 2024: EUR 6.8 million). The previous year was characterized by high investment income in connection with the delivery and sale of container ship newbuilds. The income generated from the existing co-investment portfolio in Q1 2025 developed positively compared to the previous year. Earnings before taxes (EBT) came in at EUR 7.1 million, slightly above the already strong prior-year figure of EUR 7.0 million. Earnings per share (EPS) reached EUR 0.18 (Q1 2024: EUR 0.15). As of 31 March 2025, cash and cash equivalents were at EUR 33.2 million (31 December 2024: EUR 33.1 million). The equity ratio increased slightly to 82% as of 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024: 81%).
