In 2022, GCAP completed the sale of 80% interest in Water Utility business for total consideration of US$ 180 million,
translating into MOIC of 2.7x in US$ (3.6x MOIC in GEL) and IRR of 20% in US$ (27% IRR in GEL).
In 2022, remaining 20% equity interest in business was valued with the application of put option valuation and positive
developments in the normalised¹ LTM EBITDA, leading to GEL 15.6 million value creation in the business.
In 9M23, the fair value of GCAP's 20% holding in the water utility business, increased by GEL 4.0 million to GEL 159.0 million.
We expect that the year-end valuation assessment will reflect the revised tariffs for the upcoming 2024-2026 regulatory period,
which are anticipated to receive approval in December 2023.
