Additional information:

The equity and the net asset value of INVL Technology, a company that invests in IT businesses, amounted to EUR 38.27 million at the end of 2022 and grew 5.9% during the year. Equity per share, which increased the same percentage in the year, was EUR 3.17 at the end of 2022. The company had a net profit of EUR 2.1 million last year, which is 19.3% less than in 2021.

From 14 July 2016, when it began to operate as a closed-end investment company, through the end of 2022, INVL Technology’s equity per share rose 61.5% (also taking own-share purchases in 2021 into account), from EUR 1.96 to EUR 3.17 per share. The indicator’s compound annual growth rate for the period was 7.7%.

Calculating from the completion of INVL Technology’s secondary share offering in 2015 through the end of 2022, equity per share increased 92.2% from EUR 1.65, with a CAGR of 9.1% for the period.

“The fall in the value of technology companies worldwide and increased cost of capital in 2022 also had a negative impact on INVL Technology’s asset holdings. On the other hand, the outlook for the businesses owned is positive. With increased sales of products and services in international markets, we believe their revenues will continue to grow faster than labour costs,” says Kazimieras Tonkūnas, INVL Technology’s managing partner.

During 2022, accounting for the effect of dividends that were paid, the value of the cyber-security company NRD Cyber Security grew 16% to EUR 9.9 million, the value of NRD Companies, which works in in business climate improvement and e-governance, increased 11% to EUR 7.3 million, and the value of the Novian group of IT service businesses decreased 9% to EUR 17.6 million.
