MCI Capital ASI SAMCI Capital PE fund plans to invest EUR 25-50 mln in one-two new investments per year
Warsaw-listed private equity group MCI Capital plans to invest EUR 25-50 million per year in 1-2 new investments, with one to two exits in its current portfolio, MCI representatives told a conference following the publication of group's 2024 annual report.
Gross assets under management reached PLN 2.7 billion (EUR 646.1 mln) at the end of 2024 and MCI anticipates further growth in 2025.
"These are record assets in MCI's history, we have a very strong investment portfolio at the moment and, importantly, the portfolio has positive characteristics in terms of diversification," MCI's deputy CEO Pawel Borys told the conference.
"We assess the risk profile of the entire portfolio as good; the company that represents a potentially higher risk, PHH, accounts for only 2.7 percent of net assets," he added.
In 2024, two new investments were made (in Profitroom and NTFY) with a total value of PLN 347 million (EUR 83 mln). MCI reported that after four transactions completed in the last 18 months, it has a portfolio of 11 investments.
MCI's portfolio companies generated over PLN 500 million (EUR 119.7 mln) EBITDA in 2024. The financial plans of the companies assume an EBITDA growth of around 15-20 percent in 2025.
"Our goal is to pursue one-two investments per year with a preferred equity ticket size of EUR 25-50 million. The sphere of interest includes leaders in the digital economy and the healthcare sector from CEE/Western Europe," the group announced in the presentation.
It was reported that MCI has a plan to sell minimum shares in listed e-commerce company Answear within 18 months and is preparing to sell an online shop operating in the consumer electronics segment, Morele (in 2026).
The net profit of the MCI group in 2024 was approximately PLN 16 million (EUR 3.83 mln).
