Lingotto Reaches EUR 10 Billion AUM and Strong Performance
Lingotto reached roughly EUR 10 billion in assets under management and delivered an outstanding performance, with Lingotto rising ~40% in 2025, driven by its intersection/public strategy and selective third-party capital.
Large Share Buybacks and Accretive Repurchases
Exor executed a EUR 1.0 billion buyback program in 2025 (at >50% discount) and has repurchased approximately EUR 2.5 billion of stock over recent years, cumulatively reducing outstanding shares by close to 15% and contributing positively to per-share metrics.
Solid Liquidity and Strengthened Balance Sheet
Exor finished FY2025 with a strong liquidity position: cash of EUR 1.4 billion, an extended EUR 1.1 billion credit facility, a low loan-to-value ratio of 6.9%, and modest near-term maturities (including a refinanced EUR 600 million bond now maturing 2035). Management expects additional cash resources of ~EUR 3 billion from announced transactions, giving the group potential liquidity near EUR 4 billion.
Lingotto / Investment Model Validation
The performance-driven Lingotto model validated Exor's strategy to build an investment organization focused on returns rather than pure asset gathering; Exor also benefits economically from Lingotto returns via its ownership of the asset manager and co-investment structure.
Philips Execution and Upgraded Ambition
Philips delivered margin expansion and a peak in order intake in 2025. Exor increased its stake (~19% economic rights) and Philips unveiled a 2026–2028 plan targeting mid-single-digit sales growth and mid-teens profit margins, reflecting improving operational momentum.
Iveco Strategic Transactions Completed/Advanced
Iveco closed the sale of its Defence business to Leonardo (closing March 18) and is combining the remainder (trucks, buses, engines) with Tata Motors via a tender offer expected to close end of Q2; the two transactions total a valuation of EUR 5.3 billion and should generate near-term dividends (expected end of April).
