Realisations

Markets continue to perform positively despite persistent macro uncertainty

Despite continued geopolitical and economic uncertainty, global equity markets continued to perform positively in Q4 2025. In Q4, the FTSE 100 in the UK rose by 6.2 per cent.  and US equity markets also rose over the period, with the S&P 500 increasing by 6.7 per cent. and the NASDAQ Composite by 7.5 per cent, each of which in local currency terms. However, despite headline gains, global trade volatility and uneven economic performance weighed on investor sentiment. Media commentary around a potential AI bubble also increased in Q4, fuelled by concerns over high valuations, particularly among the "Magnificent 7" technology companies.

Central banks maintained a cautious approach in Q4. In their December meetings both the Fed and the Bank of England cut rates by 25 basis points, which was expected, driven by concerns over weaker economic growth. But central bankers were hawkish in their outlook, given fiscal expansion and increasing wages could yet prompt higher inflation. The cost of borrowing therefore remained higher than in prior years at the end of Q4, reinforcing investor focus on balance-sheet strength, cash generation and near-term visibility on returns.

Geopolitical risk remained elevated throughout the period. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, intermittent escalation in the Middle East and uncertainty over US foreign policy continued to influence commodity markets and reinforced concerns around energy security and supply resilience. Oil prices weakened further into year end, reflecting softer global demand expectations and a resilient supply backdrop. West Texas Intermediate crude declined by 13.2 per cent. during Q4 to end the year at $57.26 per barrel. By contrast, natural gas prices strengthened materially, with Henry Hub gas prices rising by 48.2 per cent. over the quarter to $4.00 per MMB.

Quarterly Performance Commentary

Portfolio performance during Q4 primarily reflected further progress in executing the Company's Managed Wind-Down, with activity during the period focused on the orderly realisation of the remaining portfolio.

In the conventional energy portfolio, the Company completed transactions during Q4 2025 that materially increased cash available for return to shareholders. In October, Riverstone Energy Limited executed a compulsory partial redemption of shares, returning £190.0 million to shareholders. This followed the earlier realisation and exit of public holdings in Whitecap Resources and Permian Resources in the conventional energy space.

In the decarbonisation portfolio, the Company completed the sale of its entire shareholding and remaining warrants in Solid Power, generating proceeds meaningfully above the prior carrying value and further strengthening the Company's cash position. In October, the Company also announced the proposed sale of its entire interest in Onyx Power, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2026.

Overall, Q4 marked a period of continued execution of the strategy, with significant capital returned during the quarter and further realisations announced. The Company ended the year focused on maximising value from its remaining investments and looking to return additional capital to shareholders.

Onyx

The valuation multiple for Onyx was 2.86x Gross MOIC for the fourth quarter of 2025, in line with the agreed transaction price. On 30 January 2026, Riverstone successfully completed the sale of 100% of its interest in Onyx to ResInvest Group.

Infinitum

The valuation multiple for Infinitum increased to 1.00x Gross MOIC for the fourth quarter of 2025. The company launched its Series F financing and had its first closing on 31 December 2025. In 2026, management's priority is to continue scaling revenue, with data centers remaining the primary growth driver, supported by higher ASPs and a favorable product mix. To execute this strategy and support international expansion, the company plans to scale its sales organization. On 2 January 2026, the Company announced a further commitment of to its existing investment in Infinitum to participate in the Series F financing, of which approximately $5.0 million was funded in the first closing. In making its decision for the Company to participate in the Series F financing, the Board took into account updates from the Investment Manager as to Infinitum's proposed commercial strategy and future prospects. The Investment Manager advised the Board that the Company's incremental commitment to Infinitum was required to support its operations and commercial momentum, and to avoid a liquidity constraint and therefore decline in the value of the Company's investment.

GoodLeap

The valuation multiple for GoodLeap was held at 1.00x Gross MOIC for the fourth quarter of 2025. GoodLeap delivered strong operating results, driven by continued growth in Home Improvement volumes, expanding contractor adoption, and increasing engagement across the Home App and Virtual Power Plant platform. That said, the company remains pressured by elevated legal and litigation-related costs. While core volumes and adjusted EBITDA have rebounded meaningfully, excess legal spend continues to weigh on cash flow and earnings visibility.

Group14

The valuation multiple for Group14 decreased from 0.25x to 0.10x Gross MOIC for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a further write down in the investment from 0.75x Gross MOIC at 31 December 2024. Group14 continues to face production and commissioning challenges. The BAMT-1 and BAM-2 modules have not achieved sustained commercial operation, and the Company has now shifted its operational focus to the BAM-3 line. While BAM-3 is expected to commence production in January 2026 , initial volumes are likely to be modest as the team ramps operations and works through debottlenecking at the recently acquired facility in South Korea.

Outlook

At quarter-end, the Company's net asset value stood at $118 million. The Company's disciplined approach to capital management, continues to provide resilience against market volatility as the Managed Wind-Down progresses. In accordance with the Managed Wind-Down investment policy adopted by the Company on 22 August 2025, the Company expects to return a portion of the Onyx sale proceeds to shareholders, net of reasonable provisions for running costs in the expected Managed Wind-Down period, by way of a pro rata compulsory redemption of ordinary shares. Further details will be announced by the Company shortly.

Note: 

The Investment Manager is charged with proposing the valuation of the assets held by the Company through the Partnership. The Partnership has directed that securities and instruments be valued at their fair value. The Company's valuation policy follows IFRS and IPEV Valuation Guidelines. The Investment Manager values each underlying investment in accordance with the Riverstone valuation policy, the IFRS accounting standards and IPEV Valuation Guidelines. The Investment Manager has applied Riverstone's valuation policy consistently quarter to quarter since inception. The value of Company's portion of that investment is derived by multiplying its ownership percentage by the value of the underlying investment. If there is any divergence between the Riverstone valuation policy and the Company's valuation policy, the Partnership's proportion of the total holding will follow the Company's valuation policy. There were no valuation adjustments recorded by the Company as a result of differences in IFRS and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Policies for the period ended 31 December 2025 or in any period to date. Valuations of the Company's investments through the Partnership are determined by the Investment Manager and disclosed quarterly to investors, subject to Board approval.

Riverstone values its investments using common industry valuation techniques, including comparable public market valuation, comparable merger and acquisition transaction valuation, and discounted cash flow valuation.

For development-type investments, Riverstone also considers the recognition of appreciation or depreciation of subsequent financing rounds, if any. For those early stage privately held companies where there are other indicators of a decline in the value of the investment, Riverstone will value the investment accordingly even in the absence of a subsequent financing round.

Riverstone reviews the valuations on a quarterly basis with the assistance of the Riverstone Performance Review Team ("PRT") as part of the valuation process. The PRT was formed to serve as a single structure overseeing the existing Riverstone portfolio with the goal of improving operational and financial performance.

The Board reviews and considers the valuations of the Company's investments held through the Partnership.
