THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Full year results for the financial year ended 31 March 2026

Foresight Group Holdings Limited ("Foresight", the "Group") is a leading investment manager offering institutional and retail investors a diverse range of private and listed investment solutions in real assets located in the UK, Europe and Australia, and growth capital for SME businesses across the UK and Ireland.

The Group is pleased to announce its full year results for the financial year ended 31 March 2026 ("FY26", "the period").

Financial and Operational Highlights - continuing operations[1]

Assets under Management / Funds under Management ("AUM"/"FUM")

AUM increased by 8% to £13.0 billion (FY25: £12.1 billion AUM) and FUM increased by 7% to £9.0 billion (FY25: £8.4 billion FUM).

Profitability

Core EBITDA pre-SBP grew by 10%, driven by an increase in recurring revenue and higher year-on-year performance fees following larger institutional fund exits in Australia. These successful realisations and performance fees in FY26 resulted in 82% recurring revenue, with the Group continuing to target 85-90%.  

Capital Allocation

Reflecting this year's increase in core EBITDA pre-SBP and the Group's high levels of cash generation, the Board is recommending the payment of a 19.0p final dividend, resulting in a 12% year-on-year increase in the total dividend to 27.1p (FY25: 24.2p). The final dividend will be paid on 2 October 2026 with an ex-dividend date of 17 September 2026 and a record date of 18 September 2026.

Following the April 2025 announcement of an up to £50 million share buyback programme over three years, a net £9.6 million was utilised to repurchase Ordinary Shares in FY263. The remaining £40.4 million of the current share buyback programme is expected to be utilised over FY27 and FY28, noting that the Board will reassess the utilisation of the share buyback authority when considering capital allocation priorities. Going forward, all Ordinary Shares repurchased that are not required to satisfy our Performance Share Plan awards will be cancelled bi-annually. 

Current Trading

Post period end, AUM increased to c.£13.1 billion and FUM increased to c.£9.2 billion4, following incremental fundraising across our retail and institutional distribution channels.

The announced sale of the Group's public markets division on 11 June 2026 is expected to complete during the third quarter of 2026, streamlining Foresight's operating model and enabling the business to focus on its core Real Assets and Private Equity divisions, which provide high quality revenue visibility through long duration capital.

Bernard Fairman, Executive Chairman of Foresight Group Holdings Limited, commented:

"FY26 was another year of profitable growth, with double-digit percentage increases in core EBITDA pre-SBP, adjusted earnings per share and dividend per share.

Investors continued to back our strategies with record retail fundraising of £630 million - a fifth successive year high - alongside institutional momentum in our flagship FEIP II strategy and our regional private equity funds. Our fundraising achievements remain underpinned by strong investment performance, with our Australian exits further enhancing the team's track record and contributing material performance fees to the Group.

We enter the new financial year wholly focused on our core Real Assets and Private Equity divisions with a diversified fundraising pipeline across institutional and retail investment vehicles managing long duration capital, and remain committed to our medium-term growth guidance."
