Delightful 2017 for HBM Healthcare Investments with 26% value increase of the NAV and 40% gain on the share price

As at 31 December 2017, the net asset value per share (NAV) stood at CHF 162.07. Thus, HBM Healthcare Investments closes calendar year 2017 with a gratifying value increase of 26 percent at NAV level and by more than 40 percent to CHF 133.30 for the share price.

Result for the 9 months of the current financial year 2017/2018

For the first nine months of the current financial year 2017/2018, HBM Healthcare Investments expects a profit of over CHF 85 million, with an increase of 8 percent in NAV and a gain of 25 percent on the share price.

The two main contributors to the good result stem from the portfolio of private companies. The share price of Advanced Accelerator Applications (profit contribution of CHF 105 million for the financial year) has doubled since the beginning of the financial year due to the takeover bid by Novartis. AnaptysBio also made an impressive increase in value by contributing a profit of CHF 33 million. The company placed new shares in an IPO at a price of USD 15 per share in January 2017. Thanks to promising Phase 2a study data for a drug to treat dermatitis, the share price rose to more than USD 100 per share by the end of 2017. HBM Healthcare Investments originally invested USD 7 million in July 2015 in the then private company at USD 7.42 per share.

These figures are preliminary results based on the current status of work of the financial closing. The final results will be published with the quarterly report December 2017 on January 25, 2018.
