BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust plc

**Summary**

The companys net asset value (NAV) increased by 54.8% in US Dollar terms, matching the benchmark MSCI EM Latin America Index. The share price rose by 65.1% in US Dollar terms. Key financial metrics include net assets of US$170.5 million, net asset value per share of 578.96 US cents, and total revenue return of 28.85 cents per share. The company declared interim dividends totaling 26.59 cents per share, funded from current year revenue and reserves.
The Chairs statement emphasized Latin Americas diversification benefits and the regions strong performance driven by factors like falling inflation, easier monetary policy, and strong foreign inflows. The companys portfolio benefited from exposure to real estate, metals, and healthcare sectors, with notable contributions from companies like Cyrela Brazil Realty, Rede D’or Sao Luiz, and Ero Copper Corp.
The company introduced a revised discount control mechanism, offering shareholders a tender for up to 100% of their shares if the NAV does not outperform the benchmark over a four-year period.

Looking ahead, the company remains optimistic about Latin Americas prospects, citing easing inflation, attractive valuations, and the regions geopolitical neutrality. The Board expects the company to continue operating successfully, supported by its closed-end structure and long-term investment horizon.

The companys production reached over 65,000 boepd by the end of 2026, driven by successful acquisitions and organic growth. Despite challenges like unscheduled downtime at the Triton FPSO, Sericas production averaged 27,600 boepd in 2025, with a year-to-date average of 38,600 boepd. The companys acquisitions, including a 40% stake in the Greater Laggan Area from TotalEnergies, significantly enhanced its reserves and resources, with 2P reserves increasing by 19% to 138.5 mmboe. Sericas focus on short-cycle, low-risk opportunities and its strong balance sheet position it well for future growth and shareholder returns. The company also emphasized its commitment to energy security and domestic gas supply, particularly through its West of Shetland operations. Despite a loss after taxation of $52 million due to a non-cash deferred tax charge, Serica maintained its dividend and expects material free cash flow generation in 2026. The companys strategy includes further M&A activities and a potential move to the Main Market of the LSE.

The company reported strong execution on its Americas strategy, upgrading its FY26 outlook after an excellent start. Key highlights include
**Financial Performance**Revenue declined by 10% to €763.6 million, and EBITDA decreased by 9% to €197.0 million, primarily due to the revised Caliente agreement. However, underlying software fees from Caliente grew strongly.
**Strategic Transactions**Completed the sale of Snaitech for €2.3 billion, generating over €800 million in cash since ownership, and paid a special dividend of approximately €1.8 billion to shareholders.
**Americas Growth**Key growth markets in the Americas performed ahead of expectations, with strong contributions from the US (revenue up ~100%) and Latin America, driven by investments in Caliente Interactive and Hard Rock Digital (HRD).
**Balance Sheet Strength**Maintained a strong balance sheet, enabling investment and capital returns, including repurchasing 8.3% of issued share capital in H2 for €77 million.
**Outlook**Expects FY26 Adjusted EBITDA to be ahead of current consensus expectations, despite regulatory headwinds in many markets.
Operationally, Playtech reported under three segments: B2B, investment income, and B2C. The B2B segment saw revenue decline due to the Caliente agreement impact, but underlying performance was solid, especially in regulated markets. The Americas strategy showed strong progress, with significant revenue growth in the US and Canada, and expansion into new states. Live revenue increased, and SaaS revenues grew by 48%.
Investment income was driven by the revised Caliente agreement, with Adjusted investment income of €61.8 million. Dividends from HRD totaled €10.3 million, reflecting strong growth.
The B2C segment, now a lower strategic priority, saw revenue decline to €78.5 million, with Adjusted EBITDA losses narrowing to €6.2 million as the HAPPYBET business was wound down.
Playtechs CEO, Mor Weizer, emphasized the companys transition to a focused B2B technology business, highlighting strong performance in the US and Latin America, and expressed confidence in achieving medium-term targets of €250-300 million in Adjusted EBITDA and €70-100 million in Free Cash Flow.

The companys production reached over 65,000 boepd by the end of 2026, driven by successful acquisitions and organic growth. Despite challenges like unscheduled downtime at the Triton FPSO, Sericas production averaged 27,600 boepd in 2025, with a year-to-date average of 38,600 boepd.

Sericas focus on short-cycle, low-risk opportunities and its strong balance sheet position it well for future growth and shareholder returns. The company also emphasized its commitment to energy security and domestic gas supply, particularly through its West of Shetland operations. Despite a loss after taxation of $52 million due to a non-cash deferred tax charge, Serica maintained its dividend and expects material free cash flow generation in 2026.

Playtech PLC, a leading platform, content, and services provider in the online gambling industry, announced its final results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Key highlights include: - **Financial Performance**: Revenue declined by 10% to €763.6 million, and EBITDA decreased by 9% to €197.0 million, primarily due to the revised Caliente agreement. However, underlying software fees from Caliente grew strongly. - **Strategic Transactions**: Completed the sale of Snaitech for €2.3 billion, generating over €800 million in cash since ownership, and paid a special dividend of approximately €1.8 billion to shareholders. - **Americas Growth**: Key growth markets in the Americas performed ahead of expectations, with strong contributions from the US (revenue up ~100%) and Latin America, driven by investments in Caliente Interactive and Hard Rock Digital (HRD). - **Balance Sheet Strength**: Maintained a strong balance sheet, enabling investment and capital returns, including repurchasing 8.3% of issued share capital in H2 for €77 million. - **Outlook**: Expects FY26 Adjusted EBITDA to be ahead of current consensus expectations, despite regulatory headwinds in many markets. Operationally, Playtech reported under three segments: B2B, investment income, and B2C. The B2B segment saw revenue decline due to the Caliente agreement impact, but underlying performance was solid, especially in regulated markets. The Americas strategy showed strong progress, with significant revenue growth in the US and Canada, and expansion into new states. Live revenue increased, and SaaS revenues grew by 48%. Investment income was driven by the revised Caliente agreement, with Adjusted investment income of €61.8 million. Dividends from HRD totaled €10.3 million, reflecting strong growth. The B2C segment, now a lower strategic priority, saw revenue decline to €78.5 million, with Adjusted EBITDA losses narrowing to €6.2 million as the HAPPYBET business was wound down. Playtechs CEO, Mor Weizer, emphasized the companys transition to a focused B2B technology business, highlighting strong performance in the US and Latin America, and expressed confidence in achieving medium-term targets of €250-300 million in Adjusted EBITDA and €70-100 million in Free Cash Flow.

**Summary**
BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust plc released its final results for the year ended 31 December 2025, highlighting a strong performance in Latin American equities, which outperformed other major regions with a return of 54.8%. The companys net asset value (NAV) increased by 54.8% in US Dollar terms, matching the benchmark MSCI EM Latin America Index. The share price rose by 65.1% in US Dollar terms. Key financial metrics include net assets of US$170.5 million, net asset value per share of 578.96 US cents, and total revenue return of 28.85 cents per share. The company declared interim dividends totaling 26.59 cents per share, funded from current year revenue and reserves.
The Chairs statement emphasized Latin Americas diversification benefits and the regions strong performance driven by factors like falling inflation, easier monetary policy, and strong foreign inflows. The companys portfolio benefited from exposure to real estate, metals, and healthcare sectors, with notable contributions from companies like Cyrela Brazil Realty, Rede D’or Sao Luiz, and Ero Copper Corp.
The company introduced a revised discount control mechanism, offering shareholders a tender for up to 100% of their shares if the NAV does not outperform the benchmark over a four-year period. This mechanism aims to reduce the discount at which shares trade relative to NAV. The Board also agreed to cap operating charges at 1.3% of average net assets post-tender implementation.
Looking ahead, the company remains optimistic about Latin Americas prospects, citing easing inflation, attractive valuations, and the regions geopolitical neutrality. The Board expects the company to continue operating successfully, supported by its closed-end structure and long-term investment horizon.

### Year-on-Year Comparison and Debt Analysis: - **Net Assets and NAV**: Both net assets and net asset value per share increased significantly by 47.0% in 2025 compared to 2024, reflecting strong portfolio performance. - **Share Price**: The ordinary share price increased by 56.1%, outpacing the increase in NAV, which led to a reduction in the discount from 11.6% to 6.1%. - **Profitability**: Net profit after taxation increased by 23.3%, driven by higher revenue earnings per share. - **Dividends**: Total dividends payable increased by 7.7%, indicating a steady return to shareholders. - **Debt**: The text does not explicitly mention debt levels, but the bank overdraft (a form of short-term debt) increased from US$6,769,000 in 2024 to US$17,889,000 in 2025, suggesting higher leverage or working capital needs. However, this is within the limits set by the overdraft facility agreement.

**Summary**
Ceres Power Holdings plc, a UK-based clean energy technology developer, reported its final results for the year ended 31 December 2025. Key financial highlights include a strong cash position of £83.3 million, revenue of £32.6 million (down 37% from 2024), and a gross profit of £22.7 million with a sector-leading gross margin of 70%. The company generated its first royalties, marking a significant milestone. Strategic achievements include manufacturing license agreements with Weichai in China and Delta in Taiwan, factory production by Doosan in South Korea, and testing of solid oxide electrolysis demonstrators in Japan and India. Ceres implemented a business transformation plan to accelerate commercial opportunities, aiming for 20% operating cost savings in 2026. The companys contracted revenue for 2026 is approximately £45 million before new business. Despite challenges like Boschs withdrawal and a hydrogen market slowdown, Ceres remains focused on commercial growth, particularly in power markets for data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial applications. The company is well-positioned for future growth in both power and hydrogen markets.
Here is the HTML table code comparing the financials and debt year on year for Ceres Power Holdings plc: tr>

**Key Observations:** * **Revenue Decline:** Total revenue decreased by 37% from £51.89 million in 2024 to £32.64 million in 2025, primarily due to the timing of revenues recognized in 2024 related to technology transfers. * **Gross Profit Margin Compression:** Gross profit margin decreased from 77% in 2024 to 70% in 2025, despite maintaining a strong margin, due to the lower revenue base. * **Increased Losses:** Adjusted EBITDA loss and operating loss both increased significantly in 2025, driven by the decline in revenue and increased operating costs. * **Reduced Cash Outflow:** Net cash used in operating activities decreased by 44% from £35.94 million in 2024 to £20.07 million in 2025, reflecting disciplined cash management. * **Strong Cash Position:** Despite the reduced cash outflow, the company maintained a strong cash and investments position of £83.27 million in 2025, down from £102.47 million in 2024. **Note:** The table does not include debt information as it is not explicitly mentioned in the provided text. However, the company's strong cash position and reduced cash outflow suggest a relatively healthy financial position.

**Summary**
Serica Energy plc, a UK-based oil and gas company, reported its 2025 full-year results, highlighting strategic progress, portfolio strengthening, and increased production. The companys production reached over 65,000 boepd by the end of 2026, driven by successful acquisitions and organic growth. Despite challenges like unscheduled downtime at the Triton FPSO, Sericas production averaged 27,600 boepd in 2025, with a year-to-date average of 38,600 boepd. The companys acquisitions, including a 40% stake in the Greater Laggan Area from TotalEnergies, significantly enhanced its reserves and resources, with 2P reserves increasing by 19% to 138.5 mmboe. Sericas focus on short-cycle, low-risk opportunities and its strong balance sheet position it well for future growth and shareholder returns. The company also emphasized its commitment to energy security and domestic gas supply, particularly through its West of Shetland operations. Despite a loss after taxation of $52 million due to a non-cash deferred tax charge, Serica maintained its dividend and expects material free cash flow generation in 2026. The companys strategy includes further M&A activities and a potential move to the Main Market of the LSE.

**Key Observations:** - **Revenue and EBITDAX Decline:** Revenue decreased by 17.3% and EBITDAX by 44.6%, primarily due to lower production volumes caused by unscheduled downtime at the Triton FPSO. - **Significant Reduction in Cash Tax:** Cash tax paid decreased by 94.1% due to lower taxable income and the utilization of tax losses. - **Decrease in Adjusted CFFO:** Adjusted CFFO less tax decreased by 53.6%, reflecting the impact of lower revenue and higher operating costs. - **Stable Capital Expenditure:** Capital expenditure remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease of 10.1%. - **Worsening Free Cash Flow:** Free cash flow deteriorated significantly, with a 2,300% increase in negative free cash flow due to lower operating cash flow and higher capital expenditure. - **Decline in Cash Position:** Cash and restricted cash decreased by 79.1%, primarily due to capital expenditures and dividend payments. - **Stable Debt Level:** Total debt remained unchanged at $231 million. - **Increased Net Debt:** Net debt increased by 141% due to the decline in cash and restricted cash. - **Stable Dividend:** The final dividend declared remained unchanged at 10 pence per share, despite the challenging financial performance. - **Lower Dividends Paid:** Dividends paid decreased by 24.8%, likely due to the lower profitability and cash flow.

Playtech PLC, a leading platform, content, and services provider in the online gambling industry, announced its final results for the year ended 31 December 2025. The company reported strong execution on its Americas strategy, upgrading its FY26 outlook after an excellent start. Key highlights include
**Financial Performance**Revenue declined by 10% to €763.6 million, and EBITDA decreased by 9% to €197.0 million, primarily due to the revised Caliente agreement. However, underlying software fees from Caliente grew strongly.
**Strategic Transactions**Completed the sale of Snaitech for €2.3 billion, generating over €800 million in cash since ownership, and paid a special dividend of approximately €1.8 billion to shareholders.
**Americas Growth**Key growth markets in the Americas performed ahead of expectations, with strong contributions from the US (revenue up ~100%) and Latin America, driven by investments in Caliente Interactive and Hard Rock Digital (HRD).
**Balance Sheet Strength**Maintained a strong balance sheet, enabling investment and capital returns, including repurchasing 8.3% of issued share capital in H2 for €77 million.
**Outlook**Expects FY26 Adjusted EBITDA to be ahead of current consensus expectations, despite regulatory headwinds in many markets.
Operationally, Playtech reported under three segments: B2B, investment income, and B2C. The B2B segment saw revenue decline due to the Caliente agreement impact, but underlying performance was solid, especially in regulated markets. The Americas strategy showed strong progress, with significant revenue growth in the US and Canada, and expansion into new states. Live revenue increased, and SaaS revenues grew by 48%.
Investment income was driven by the revised Caliente agreement, with Adjusted investment income of €61.8 million. Dividends from HRD totaled €10.3 million, reflecting strong growth.
The B2C segment, now a lower strategic priority, saw revenue decline to €78.5 million, with Adjusted EBITDA losses narrowing to €6.2 million as the HAPPYBET business was wound down.
Playtechs CEO, Mor Weizer, emphasized the companys transition to a focused B2B technology business, highlighting strong performance in the US and Latin America, and expressed confidence in achieving medium-term targets of €250-300 million in Adjusted EBITDA and €70-100 million in Free Cash Flow.

**Summary**
Pollen Street Group Limiteds full-year 2025 trading update highlights significant growth and strategic achievements. The company reported a 30% increase in Total Assets Under Management (AUM) to £7.1 billion, with Fee-Paying AUM rising 32% to £5.2 billion. This growth was driven by successful fundraising in both Private Equity and Private Credit strategies, with flagship funds significantly outperforming targets.
Financial performance was robust, with a 14% increase in Profit After Tax to £56.6 million and a 19% rise in Earnings Per Share (EPS) to 93.7p. The Asset Management segments share of net revenues grew to 71%, and the company deployed £1.6 billion across its strategies.
Key highlights include the final close of Private Equity Fund V at €1.5 billion and Private Credit Fund IV reaching £1.8 billion, with further commitments expected. The company also declared a total dividend of 58.0 pence per share, 8% higher than the previous year, and reaffirmed its medium-term target of reaching £10 billion in Total AUM.
CEO Lindsey McMurray attributed the success to strong fundraising, disciplined underwriting, and active portfolio management. The company remains focused on deploying capital, preparing for new investment strategies, and delivering sustainable value to investors and shareholders.
Despite market challenges, Pollen Street Group demonstrated resilience, with its shares outperforming the FTSE 250 index in 2025. The companys strategic priorities for 2026 include continued deployment of capital, preparing for the next generation of investment strategies, and maintaining its progressive dividend policy.
The Boards decision to adjust the allocation of Carried Interest in Private Credit Fund IV reflects the companys commitment to recognizing individual contributions and supporting long-term growth. Pollen Street Group enters 2026 with momentum, a robust pipeline, and confidence in its ability to capitalize on opportunities for sustainable growth.

Sundae Bar PLC, an AI enterprise platform company, reported its final results for the year ended 30 September 2025. Key financial highlights include £2 million raised during AIM admission, total assets of £1.65 million, and an operating loss of £1.2 million. The company wrote down goodwill by £25 million due to the early stage of its platforms commercial development, but this adjustment did not impact cash, operations, or intellectual property. Strategic focus remains on enhancing platform functionality, expanding developer participation, securing enterprise partnerships, and increasing transaction activity. The company aims to convert its infrastructure into measurable commercial traction, with a pathway to value creation through recurring revenue generation. Despite the goodwill impairment, the board remains confident in the long-term opportunity and has established a conservative foundation for future growth.

Final Results

BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust plc

**Summary**
BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust plc released its final results for the year ended 31 December 2025, highlighting a strong performance in Latin American equities, which outperformed other major regions with a return of 54.8%. The companys net asset value (NAV) increased by 54.8% in US Dollar terms, matching the benchmark MSCI EM Latin America Index. The share price rose by 65.1% in US Dollar terms. Key financial metrics include net assets of US$170.5 million, net asset value per share of 578.96 US cents, and total revenue return of 28.85 cents per share. The company declared interim dividends totaling 26.59 cents per share, funded from current year revenue and reserves.
The Chairs statement emphasized Latin Americas diversification benefits and the regions strong performance driven by factors like falling inflation, easier monetary policy, and strong foreign inflows. The companys portfolio benefited from exposure to real estate, metals, and healthcare sectors, with notable contributions from companies like Cyrela Brazil Realty, Rede D’or Sao Luiz, and Ero Copper Corp.
The company introduced a revised discount control mechanism, offering shareholders a tender for up to 100% of their shares if the NAV does not outperform the benchmark over a four-year period. This mechanism aims to reduce the discount at which shares trade relative to NAV. The Board also agreed to cap operating charges at 1.3% of average net assets post-tender implementation.
Looking ahead, the company remains optimistic about Latin Americas prospects, citing easing inflation, attractive valuations, and the regions geopolitical neutrality. The Board expects the company to continue operating successfully, supported by its closed-end structure and long-term investment horizon.
