STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Introduction
 
The directors present their Strategic report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Terzo Investment Holdings Limited (“The Company”) was formed on 11 September 2020 under the laws of England and Wales.

Business review
 
Terzo Investment Holdings Limited acts as a holding company necessary for the efficient operation of the BlueGem III SCSp (The Fund).
Terzo Investment Holdings Limited investments held at 31 December 2024:
Suavinex / Béaba Group
Suavinex / Béaba Group is globally recognised for its hero product the Babycook, a baby food processor with approx. c.60% market share in France, which the Partnership acquired from Peek A Boo SAS in November 2020. In October 2022, Suavinex / Béaba Group completed the acquisition of Suavinex, the Spanish brand focusing on small baby care products such as baby bottles, pacifiers, bibs,etc. 
In 2024, the Suavinex / Béaba Group delivered sales of €115.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of €10.8 million, compared with €114.2 million (+1.4%) and €12.4 million (-12.4%) respectively in 2023. Net debt reduced slightly from €41.3 million in 2023 to €40.5 million in 2024 (-1.9%). As adjusted EBITDA declined year-on-year, the overall value of the investment fell held by Baby Terzo Limited from €78.1 million to €62.6 million (-19.8%).
Beneath the headline figures, performance once again reflects two contrasting stories. Suavinex grew by ~13% across all channels and geographies, with its home market of Spain and its second-largest market, Italy, both delivering an impressive +20%. The US business doubled versus 2023, while digital sales rose by around 20%, driven by Amazon and supported by the Group’s expertise in e-commerce.
In contrast, Béaba declined by approximately 5% (~€3m), primarily due to weaker performance in French retail (~€1.5m) and inventory reductions on Amazon (~€1.5m), despite underlying sell-out growing at double digits (+10% vs 2023). Encouragingly, we have finally observed a stabilization of the Group’s core, with Q3 and Q4 results broadly in line with the prior year — the first such outcome since early 2023.
Ecooking
On 30 March 2021, the Company acquired 70% of Ecooking ApS and House of Cosmetics A/S (subsequently discontinued). Ecooking is a Danish personal care brand founded in 2015, selling skin, body and hair care products.
During 2024 revenue for Ecooking decreased to DKK 108.5m, down from DKK 140.6m in 2023. This was driven by destocking in China, following the 2023 sell-in spike (despite sell-out at index 141) coupled with issues regarding a best-selling SKU. A full restructuring was executed in 2024, with the appointment of a new CEO, and other improvements across the organisation. During the year, Ecooking launched its first national campaign focused on strengthening the brand, and this is yielding early signs of increased search interest.

NLAB
On 6 July 2022, the Partnership acquired a majority stake in NLab (previously "Nutrimuscle"), from French-based company Groupe Finoli. Nutrimuscle is a 29-year-old French pioneer brand of clean sports nutrition and Vitamin, Mineral and Supplement (“VMS”) products. Its offering comprises small and consumable products, which are unique or hard to find amongst competitors due to the ingredient quality, full transparency regarding the supplier list and internal production ensuring freshness of products and clean formulas. The company operates mostly

through its own webshop (DTC) and is rapidly growing, targeting a core consumer base of gym addicts, body builders and cross fitters.
NLab sustained strong financial momentum in 2024, closing the year with €37.0m in sales, a 12% increase year-on-year (from €33.0m). EBITDA grew modestly to €5.7m, up 2% from €5.5m. The core business, Nm.com — a sports supplements brand catering to dedicated gym-goers — delivered notable profitability gains, with EBITDA margins improving from 14% in H1’24 to 22% in H2’24.
As a result, Terzo Nutrition Holding Limited investment's valuation rose from €31.4m to €44.7m, representing a 42% increase.
Omnichannel expansion was a key driver of growth, with marketplace sales doubling and B2B growing 5x. Meanwhile, the company pursued new growth avenues, launching Nutrielement, a brand targeting a broader active lifestyle audience with health supplements, and entering Japan, the world’s second-largest sports nutrition market. Both initiatives remain in their early stages.

Petromax
On 21 July 2022, the Fund acquired a majority investment in the Petromax Group, an outdoor hobby and lifestyle Group comprised of two renowned heritage brands, Petromax and Feuerhand. During the year Bluegem III SCSp purchased the remaining equity in the business from the exiting founders, bringing their ownership to 100%.
The Petromax Group heritage brands have a differentiated and superior value proposition, producing German engineered durable products, and both benefit from a large and loyal community of brand lovers. The group also has strong in-house R&D capabilities in new product development leveraging on a highly skilled team who continue to expand the product range.
The year 2024 marked a pivotal period of transformation for Petromax. While many initiatives and actions will only translate into improved KPIs in 2025, the management team, led by Frank Rommersbach and Hans-Jürgen Herr, has made significant strides. They not only formulated a new strategic direction for the business but also leveraged their extensive network of trade partners to onboard and launch Petromax. Additionally, building on the momentum from the Spoga fair, the company successfully harmonised pricing and conditions across multiple channels and launched a pre-order programme designed to secure vital orders for Q1 2025.
Beautynova
In March 2024, The Fund reached an agreement to sell a majority stake in Beautynova to PAI Partners at a valuation of ~€334 million for the whole group, which represents a multiple of over 11x EV/EBITDA.
Lacassum Two Limited, the 100% subsidiary of Lacassum One Limited, sold its entire holding in Capilor S.p.A for €229 million. The investment in Lacassum One Limited is the net assets of Lacassum Two Limited.
Overall 
The overall investment value of Terzo Investment Holdings Limited decreased from €317,746,615 to €103,405,373, primarily as a direct consequence of Lacassum Two Limited’s disposal of its investment in Capilor S.p.A during the year.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Credit risk - losses could be incurred due to declines in the creditworthiness of the entities in which the Company invests; this is dependent upon the capital structure robustness and the default probability of the investee companies. This is one of the most important risks that the Directors monitor and we do so on a company-by- company basis. For each, we receive and review monthly management numbers, including an income statement, balance sheet and a cash flow statement. We also spend time developing new, and maintain existing, relationships with funding providers to make sure that the portfolio companies have adequate access to funding at the required levels and appropriate costs.
Liquidity risk - the illiquidity of private equity partnership interests exposes investors to asset liquidity risk associated with selling conditions in the secondary market at a discount on the reported net asset value and the unpredictable timing of cash flows. In order to mitigate this risk, the Directors monitor the status and the development of the market on a recurring and consistent basis, with the objective of being ready when a window of opportunity for sale materialises.
Market (and Capital) risk - Private Equity investments can be affected by numerous factors, including (but not limited to) the equity market exposure, interest rates and foreign exchanges, correlations and event risk. This is a macro risk that we monitor on an ongoing basis by speaking with analysts, reviewing research and analysing data. 
Operational risk - relates to risk associated with and supporting the operating environment of the subsidiaries. The operating environment includes cash controls, technology and systems, legal and compliance, accounting, administration, valuation and reporting. Cash controls in place ensure that no funds can be sent without the authorization of two senior management. The Company has a strong team of external and internal experts in both legal and compliance. 
Foreign exchange - the Company makes investments in currencies other than Euros, and as such, there is currency exposure for the non-Euro denominated investments. The Company does not actively hedge these currency exposures, but instead the relevant FX/Euro rates are monitored and should there be significant adverse movement or significant concern about future movement then at that point a suitable instrument hedge would be considered.

Financial key performance indicators
 
As Terzo Investment Holdings Limited does not trade the only indicator on its performance is the maintained value of its investments.

Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Company
 
Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 requires a director of a company to act in the way he or she considers, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of The Company for the benefit of its members as a whole.
In doing this Section 172 requires a director to have regard, amongst other matters, to the:
• Likely consequences of any decisions in the long-term; 
• Interests of the company’s employees; 
• Need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; 
• Impact of the company’s operations on the community and environment; 
• Desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and 
• Need to act fairly as between members of the company.
In discharging our Section 172 duties we have regard to the matters set out above. We also have regard to other factors which we consider relevant to the decision being made. Those factors, for example, include the interests and our relationship to our subsidiaries. We acknowledge that every decision we make will not necessarily result in a positive outcome for all of our stakeholders. By considering the Company’s purpose, vision and values together with its strategic priorities and having a process in place for decision making, we do, however, aim to make sure that our decisions are consistent and predictable.
The Directors are in regular communication with subsidiaries and parent Companies along with other stakeholders. Structured engagement and opportunities for feedback also take place, for example, via regular business updates, which allow key stakeholders to exchange information and ask questions. This combination  of engagements with stakeholders allows us to understand the nature of the stakeholders’ concerns and to comply with our Section 172 duty to promote the success of the Company.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TERZO INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Discussions were held with,  and enquiries made of,  management  and those charged with governance with a
view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial
statements.  During  the  engagement  team  briefing,  the  outcomes  of  these  discussions  and  enquiries
were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial
reporting standards, Company Law and tax legislation.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and
non-compliance  with  laws  and  regulations)  comprised  of:  inquiries  of  management  and  those  charged
with governance  as  to  whether  the  entity  complies  with  such  laws  and  regulations;  enquiries  with  the
same  concerning  any  actual  or  potential  litigation  or  claims;  review  of  board  minutes;  testing  the
appropriateness of  entries in the nominal  ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the
end of the reporting period;  and the performance of  analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements
in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent  difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s  controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from  fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.


General information

Terzo Investment Holdings Limited is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales.
The Company's registered office is 5th Floor Eagle House, 108-110 Jermyn Street, London, United Kingdom, SW1Y 6EE.
The Company's registered number is 12873202.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

In preparing the financial statements, a rounding difference of €5 has been used, in accordance with Company policy and in line with the previous year.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements as it has considered its subsidiaries to be held exclusively with a view to subsequent resale and meets the criteria of s405(3)(c) of Companies Act 2006 and in paragraph 9.9 of FRS 102.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is Euros.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

 
2.4

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.5

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.6

Valuation of investments

Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

 
2.7

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Page 17

 
TERZO INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
2.9

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.10

Financial instruments

Investments in non-derivative instruments that are equity to the issuer are measured:
• at fair value with changes recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income if the shares
are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably; 
• at cost less impairment for all other investments.
(i) Recognition
The investments are recognised on the trade date. All other financial assets are recognised when they become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
After initial measurement, the Company measures financial instruments which are classified as at FVPL at fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of those financial instruments are recorded in net gain or loss on financial assets at FVPL in the statement of income and retained earnings. Interest and dividends earned or paid on these instruments are recorded separately in interest revenue or expense and dividend revenue or expense in the statement of income and retained earnings.

 
2.11

Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonably foreseeable under the circumstances.
The preparation of statutory financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of accounting estimates and exercise of judgement by the directors while applying the Company's accounting policies. These estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of the events which existed at the statement of financial position date; however, the actual results may differ from these estimates. Revisions  to  accounting estimates  are  recognised  in  each  period  in  which  the  estimates  are  revised  and in any future periods affected.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
One of the areas requiring a higher degree of estimation uncertainty and which involves significant assumptions is the valuation of investments which are classified as 'fair value through profit or loss'. The fair values of securities that are not quoted in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily earnings multiples, which considers one or more financial measures such as revenues, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, net income or net asset value, and/or discounted cash flows. The models used to determine fair values are validated and periodically reviewed by the directors. The inputs in the earnings multiples models include observable data, such as earnings multiples of comparable companies to the relevant portfolio company, and unobservable data, such as forecast earnings for the portfolio company. 
Given the  magnitude  of  the  carrying  values  of  the  underlying  investments, directors conclusions are highly sensitive to any changes in the estimations made. In particular, estimating the earnings multiples to apply involves significant directors judgment and actual results may vary.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss comprise of investment in subsidiary undertakings as disclosed in note 7. 
The valuation is based on the IPEVC investment guidelines. In accordance with those guidelines the investments are generally measured by reference to multiples applied to EBITDA or Revenue, reported for the trading groups over the last 12 months. 
The EBITDA/Revenue multiples used for valuations is based on publicly available information of completed deals as at the 31 December 2024. 
Those multiples are reviewed by management and discounted to reflect the risk associated with lack of marketability or liquidity of the underlying investments.
