CVC Capital Partners, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, reported half-year net profit of €396m ($464m), in line with analyst expectations, with consensus forecasts having projected €393m, according to a report by Reuters.
Over the 12 months to June, realisations reached €13.2bn, a 20% increase year-on-year, with the firm reaffirming its target to meet or slightly exceed 2024 levels. Realisations reflect cash distributed from successful exits, a key measure of private equity performance.
The results come as exit activity shows signs of revival after a prolonged slowdown caused by higher interest rates and global uncertainty, according to Preqin data.
CVC, which holds stakes in brands including Lipton Teas, Breitling, and Petco, highlighted “strong fundraising momentum,” raising €6.3bn of fresh capital in the first half of 2025.
