Full summary
Omni Bridgeway Ltd (ASX: OBL) announces the key investment performance metrics for the three months ended 31 March 2026 (3Q26) and the financial year to date (FYTD). The company reports strong new investment momentum and a notably larger pipeline, reflecting supportive market dynamics and an expanding opportunity set. Quarterly completions were lighter than in 2Q26 as a number of larger matters were legally successful but did not reach cash conversion in the period. However, management fees, opex, and capital formation continue to track positively. Total cash investment proceeds of A$268.8 million FYTD, including A$38.1 million in OBL-only investment proceeds, excluding management fees and carried interest. Management fees of A$27.0 million FYTD, on track to meet the full-year target. 59 full and partial completions FYTD, delivering an overall multiple-on-invested-capital (MOIC) of 2.5x with a combined fair value conversion ratio of 108%. A$178.9 million in total deployments FYTD, including A$21.6 million OBL-only. 27 new investments FYTD, with A$317.9 million in new fair value added (A$352.4 million on a like for like basis) from A$391.8 million of new commitments. An exceptionally strong pipeline remains in place, comprising 45 agreed exclusive term sheets representing an estimated A$618.9 million in new commitments if contracted. Opex of approximately A$51.2 million FYTD, tracking materially below the full-year budget of A$80 million. Capital formation has progressed well, with the remaining capacity for Funds 4/5 Series II expected to close in the coming months and additional sidecar and overflow capital structures totalling over A$150 million in new fee-paying capital at advanced stages of diligence.
