Antin Infrastructure H1 2026 results: exits rise, EBITDA margin stays at 50%

Antin Infrastructure Partners presented its first‑half 2026 results on September 9, 2026. The Paris‑based infrastructure investor reported underlying revenue of €138.5 million, a 4.5% decline year‑over‑year, and underlying EBITDA of €69.9 million, down 12.3% but holding an EBITDA margin of roughly 50%.

Total assets under management reached €33.3 billion, with fee‑paying AUM at €21.2 billion, a 2.9% dip from the prior year. Operating expenses rose 4.9% to €68.6 million, driven by personnel costs that increased to €52.7 million. The firm employed 254 staff, including 115 investment professionals, reflecting a 2.4% headcount increase.

Antin confirmed a full‑year distribution target of €0.71 per share, implying a payout ratio above 100% and an approximate 8% dividend yield based on the trailing twelve months. The first dividend instalment of €0.28 per share is scheduled for October 22, 2026. Cash stood at €326.0 million as of June 30, down from €367.9 million at year‑end 2025, and the balance sheet remains debt‑free with €567.2 million in assets matched by €459.8 million in equity.

Fund commitments progressed across the portfolio. Flagship V increased its commitment level to 58% of a €10.2 billion fund, completing three new investments. Mid Cap I reached 80% commitment of its €2.2 billion fund, adding four assets. NextGen I advanced to 66% commitment, and Flagship IV was 87% committed of a €6.5 billion vehicle, with a sector split of 44% energy, 32% digital and 24% social infrastructure.

LTM returns were 19.6% for Mid Cap I, 16.3% for Flagship V and 14.5% for Flagship IV. The firm highlighted two summer exits that generated gross multiples at or above 2.0×. Solvtrans, a well‑boat provider to aquaculture, delivered a 2.4× gross multiple in Norwegian kroner (2.1× in euros) on roughly 30% of the Flagship III stake, expanding its fleet from 21 to 48 vessels and entering Canada, Iceland, Chile and Australia. Idex, an energy‑infrastructure platform, achieved a 2.0× gross multiple, doubled revenues and tripled EBITDA since 2018, and increased green‑energy sourcing in district heating from 40% to 65%.

Shareholder structure shows Chairman Alain Rauscher holding 31% and CEO Mark Crosbie 17% of the shares, with concert members owning another 36% and a free float of 16%. The five‑year IPO lock‑up expires on September 27, 2026.

Antin’s global footprint comprises 87 professionals in Paris, 72 in London, 51 in New York, 41 in Luxembourg, and a small team of four in Seoul and Melbourne supporting Asia‑Pacific investor relations.
