PROFIT FORECASTS
AND ESTIMATES
Because of the nature of its activities, and because its results are
highly dependent on the performance of the companies in its
portfolio aswell as on the amount andpace of its investments, the
Company does not expect to announce any earnings forecasts
or estimates.
It has, however, communicated its objectives for the current
year. Barring anymajor external developments, theManagement
Company expects a good level of activity in 2017. There could be
five or six new investments for around €80m, and divestments
of about €100m. The portfolio companies should continue to
perform well, with average EBITDA growth of about 7%.
1.4.7
