DGAP-Ad hoc: Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA

Frankfurt/Main, February 21, 2018 - Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A0L1NN5) expects significantly higher results for fiscal year 2017 compared to the previous year, after evaluation of the preliminary figures.

Heliad group's (preliminary) result for the period (according to IFRS) of EUR 39.1 million shows a year-on-year increase of EUR 61.1 million. The (preliminary) result for the period of the parent company (according to HGB) also improved significantly, amounting to EUR 3.4 million (previous year: EUR -2.9 million).
The (preliminary) net asset value (NAV) per share of Heliad increased accordingly by 45% from EUR 8.43 to EUR 12.20.
