UNAUDITED NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE, INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AND SHARE BUYBACK UPDATE
Astoria will be releasing its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2017 on or about 9 March 2018. The
directors of Astoria wish to provide the market with an update of the investments, net asset value and the share
buyback.
At 31 December 2017, the unaudited net asset value (“NAV”) per Astoria share was USD 1.19 (2016: USD 1.00).
This represents growth in NAV of 19% since 31 December 2016.
Astoria’s listed equities generally performed satisfactorily during the fourth quarter. The equity holdings returned
3.9% in the quarter. For the year the listed equity portfolio generated a gross return of 27.9%.
The Investment Manager has taken a long-term approach to investing the Astoria funds and at 31 December 2017 the
funds were deployed as follows: direct listed global equities 81.1%, niche funds and private equity 5.8%, and USD
cash 13.1%.
Astoria’s top 10 direct listed equity positions as at 31 December 2017 were: Facebook Inc, The Blackstone Group LP,
Admiral Group PLC, Apple Inc, Hastings Group Holdings PLC, Home Depot, Starbucks Corp, JP Morgan Chase &
Co, FedEx and Nike Inc.
The investment objective remains to achieve a strong compound dollar return and to provide shareholders with
diversified exposure to global equity assets.
A more comprehensive update will be provided in the results announcement. The above NAV is unaudited and is
subject to the final valuations of unlisted investments.
The share buyback of up to 6,327,000 Astoria shares commenced on 5 May 2017. Since the announcement of the
cancellation of the 2,721,918 Astoria shares bought back by Astoria as at 30 November 2017 (of which 500,000 were
cancelled before 31 December 2017 and the balance on 10 January 2018), Astoria has, as at 31 December 2017,
repurchased a further 1,106,547 shares at an average price of R11.57 per share (excluding transaction costs). An
application for the cancellation of the repurchased shares will be made in due course.
