In 2025, the Natland Investment Group nearly doubled its profit, which reached 313 million crowns\u2014a year-over-year increase of more than 90% and the highest figure in the past seven years. For the first time in the group\u2019s history, equity exceeded the two-billion-crown mark, reaching 2.1 billion crowns.
\nThese strong results were driven by organic growth in managed equity investments, whose fair value rose by 16% to 2.12 billion crowns, and by the higher value of the investment portfolio. Assets grew by 13% year-over-year to nearly 3.7 billion crowns, and the total value of assets in companies where Natland has significant influence reached 6.15 billion crowns. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe year 2025 was primarily about implementing our long-term strategy. Our ambition is not merely to invest capital. In the long term, we focus on actively managing the companies and projects in our portfolio, transforming them, and increasing their value. We have several practical and successful examples to our credit, such as Energo P\u0159\u00edbram and others, and it is precisely this discipline that is driving the group\u2019s growth today and creating a solid foundation for further development,\u201d <\/strong><\/em> said Tom\u00e1\u0161 Ra\u0161ka, founder of the Natland Investment Group.<\/p>\n Conversely, the group\u2019s debt ratio continued to decline, falling to 41% from 43% in the previous year. \u201cThis signals not only to the market that we continue to maintain a conservative approach to debt and financial leverage, but it also demonstrates our ability to maintain a healthy capital structure,\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u201d adds Filip Ribka, Finance & Accounting Manager at the Natland Group.<\/p>\n Divestitures in Private Equity and Acquisitions of Real Estate Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n Throughout 2025, the Natland Group continued to enhance and develop its investment portfolio across all three pillars of the group\u2014private equity, real estate, and financial services. In the private equity segment, investment plans for selected projects were fulfilled during the year, and several significant transactions from the previous period were completed. <\/p>\n For example, this involves the completion of an investment cycle following a successful turnaround and the transformation of a technologically outdated facility into a modern energy company, which led to the subsequent divestiture of the P\u0159\u00edbram heating plant. We sold this company\u2014Energo P\u0159\u00edbram\u2014to a strategic partner, the Veolia Group. Last year also saw the start of negotiations and the finalization of divestitures of EC Financial Services and KARA Trutnov. In the real estate sector, on the other hand, we acquired several significant development projects, for example in Prague\u2019s Hostiva\u0159 and Zli\u010d\u00edn districts, and we successfully launched construction and sales at the Stromovka complex in Kladno, where approximately 600 apartments will be built. In total, the Group\u2019s real estate portfolio comprises more than 3,000 apartments in various stages of preparation, design, and construction. <\/p>\n In the area of multifunctional and income-generating real estate, we invested, together with our partners at Wood&Co, in the VIVO!&myHive office and commercial center in Bratislava; subsequently, we also became the owners of the Bajkalsk\u00e1 Office Center and adjacent land in Bratislava. The Natland Investment Group operates primarily in the Czech and Slovak markets. It invests capital in the strategic segments of Private Equity, Real Estate, and Financial Services, primarily in medium-sized companies, and is an expert in turnaround management for companies facing complex situations. It manages assets
\nIn addition to the high-quality management and administration of the Natland Group\u2019s investment portfolio, the Group is simultaneously developing a fund structure comprising four investment funds. In collaboration with the fund manager, these funds manage investor assets totaling nearly 7.45 billion crowns (up 13% year-over-year). The funds\u2019 net income for 2025 reached 291 million crowns, and fund capital stood at 5.6 billion. <\/p>\n
