Robert Ware, Chairman of Marwyn Value Investors Limited, commented:

"After many years of building and refining the portfolio, we believe the Company has entered a particularly attractive phase of its lifecycle. The value creation plans across our operational portfolio companies are progressing strongly, and the operational and strategic milestones delivered over the last 12-18 months give us confidence on the portfolio's ability to deliver further NAV growth. With a well-balanced portfolio, proven Management Partners, and a strategy built on patient, disciplined capital allocation, the Company is well positioned to continue delivering for shareholders."

Chief Investment Officer - Investment Commentary and Outlook

2025 has been a highly significant year for the Company, with strong performance reflecting both the progress made across our operating portfolio and increasing market recognition of that progress. The Company delivered a NAV Total Return of +35.4% for the 12 months ended 31 December 2025, with 3 and 5 year NAV TR performance at +69.9% and +104.4% respectively. These are the outcomes we seek: long-term, compounding value from businesses whose strategic levers we understand and influence.

Global economic and geopolitical conditions remained turbulent through 2025 and into early 2026. Trade policy uncertainty increased, and sentiment toward artificial intelligence produced real swings in public markets. We kept a tight focus on risk and portfolio monitoring throughout.

Trading across the portfolio held up well. AdvancedAdvT, InvestAcc and Palmer each run on high levels of recurring revenues - software licences, pension administration fees and fund services retainers - which gives the Company a stable base that is largely insulated from short-term macro noise. Zegona has continued to perform strongly, with operating cash flow compounding materially since the acquisition of Vodafone Spain and the business tracking well ahead of its original plan. Le Chameau continues to execute its brand elevation strategy ahead of its centenary year in 2027.

Artificial intelligence remains an important driver of market narratives around software businesses, shaped by changing views of its impact. In our portfolio, AdvancedAdvT is most directly exposed to AI-driven sentiment (and potential product disruption). AdvT management's view, set out in more detail in the Investment Portfolio section of the Annual Report and Financial Statements, is that AI is both an opportunity and a risk for the platform: it raises productivity and expands addressable markets. Our assessment, supported by operational evidence directly from AdvT, is their mission-critical vertical software is not materially threatened by current AI capabilities, whilst the January 2026 acquisition of the MatchingCore intellectual property is a concrete example of AdvT investing to capture that opportunity. Short-term valuations will continue to move with sentiment. Our conviction is that long-term value will be driven by earnings growth and disciplined capital allocation, not by the month's prevailing narrative.

The people we back matter as much as the businesses. Eamonn O'Hare and Robert Samuelson at Zegona, Mark Hodges and Will Self at InvestAcc, and Vin Murria OBE at AdvancedAdvT are among the most experienced operators in their respective sectors, with track records of value creation through prior Marwyn vehicles and beyond. Waheed Alli at Le Chameau and Martin Schnaier at Palmer are building businesses with long runways ahead. That depth of partnership, on top of the recurring-revenue foundation across most of the portfolio, is why I expect MVI to keep delivering NAV growth and sustainable returns through whatever the next 12-24 months bring.

Zegona

Since completing the acquisition of Vodafone Spain in May 2024 at 3.9x EV/EBITDAaL, Zegona has executed at pace on three fronts. First, revenue stabilisation: +29k broadband and +26k contract mobile lines added across the last three quarters of FY25, reversing years of decline. Second, efficiency: organisational simplification and cost actions lifted the EBITDAaL margin from 34% to 37% and the cashflow margin from 18% to 23%. Third, infrastructure monetisation, through two FibreCo joint ventures - PremiumFiber with MasOrange (GIC taking c.25%) and FiberPass with Telefónica (AXA IM Alts taking c.40%). In 2025 Zegona commenced its capital allocation programme - a €1.4 billion special dividend, a c.69% reduction in share count through the cancellation of c.523 million shares, a €200 million buyback, and €200 million of debt reduction - while continuing to push on operations. There is still room for operating cash flow to expand, and further value to come from network partnerships and wholesale.

InvestAcc

2025 was the year InvestAcc moved from a platform to a scaled consolidator. Completing the AJ Bell Platinum SIPP & SSAS book in November 2025 added around 3,400 customers and £10 million of recurring revenue, taking AuA above £9 billion across c.18,000 accounts and strengthening the Group's lead in "full" SIPP administration. The Kartesia relationship provides additional M&A capacity. Underlying trading was strong: organic revenue growth of 28%, Trading EBITDA up 62% to £6.9 million at margins above 40%, and AuA +82% year-on-year. We remain confident in the three-year plan to reach £20 million+ of EBITDA, supported by disciplined execution and a visible pipeline.

AdvancedAdvT

AdvT reported revenue of c.£53 million for the period to 28 February 2026, a 22% increase on the prior year, with recurring revenue at around 80% and Adjusted EBITDA of not less than £14.4 million (FY25 £11.3 million) at an Adjusted EBITDA margin above 27%. The improvement reflects operating gains, the SaaS mix shift, and nine acquisitions completed since July 2023 (c.£45 million deployed net of cash acquired) - most recently the bolt-ons of Celaton, GOSS and HFX, and, post period, the MatchingCore intellectual property in January 2026. With c.£96 million of cash on the balance sheet as at 28 February 2026, AdvT has the capacity to keep executing accretive M&A. The £10 million buyback programme launched in March 2026 is, in my view, a clear signal from management that the current price does not reflect the underlying value of the software businesses. The strategy is straightforward: operational excellence and targeted acquisitions to compound recurring revenue and margins.

Le Chameau

The five-year centenary plan continues to progress. FY25 revenue was £18.5 million, with the range focused on premium products, direct-to-consumer now 33% (£5.0 million) of continuing lines revenue, and gross margin of 67.8%. Strategic collaborations (for example Loro Piana and the CHANEL J12 Boat Race) are lifting brand equity ahead of 2027. During 2025 Le Chameau also separated from its previous strategic partner to re-establish as a standalone business and moved its direct-to-consumer operation onto Shopify in time for the centenary. Luxury sector multiples eased in 2025 on softer demand and tariff effects, and our valuation reflects that. Our view remains that product quality, margin discipline and brand elevation are the right drivers of long-term shareholder value.

Palmer

Palmer continues to build out its private capital servicing platform, expanding regulatory coverage and investing in its team and infrastructure to support pipeline conversion, consistent with the "better-by-design" strategy established at launch. With all significant regulatory approvals now received, most recently Luxembourg CSSF clearance in June 2025, a larger prospective client pipeline has been unlocked. Effective 1 January 2025, Palmer also took over the administration of the Marwyn Funds across both listed and private vehicles, providing external validation of the platform's operational capabilities.

Acquisition companies (MAC III, MAC Alpha, 450)

We retain optionality through the listed acquisition vehicles. MAC Alpha appointed Avril Palmer-Baunack as Chair in 2025, which widens the origination reach. MAC III and Palmer mutually agreed to stop discussions on a potential combination given Palmer's commercial progress and its focus on organic growth; the vehicle continues to consider other transactions. 450 plc is still in discussion with Silvercloud Holdings on a potential acquisition. With Le Chameau's 2027 centenary approaching, the 450 Board concluded that any transaction would be better pursued as a private company so that Le Chameau's management can stay focused on the business. 450 accordingly cancelled its AIM admission in April 2026.

Outlook

The portfolio now consists of operating businesses with several clear value drivers. Zegona's operational improvements and potential for re-rating, InvestAcc's consolidation strategy and platform scaling, and AdvancedAdvT's operating momentum and M&A capacity each offer room for further NAV growth, whilst the businesses being built at Palmer and Le Chameau offer longer-term growth potential. We will remain disciplined with capital and focused on long-term value, and will continue to back the Management Partners running these businesses.

Thank you for your continued support, and thank you to the Board of MVIL for its stewardship.

James Corsellis, Chief Investment Officer
