TMT INVESTMENTS PLC
("TMT" or the "Company")
Half-year report for the six months to 30 June 2025
TMT Investments Plc (AIM: TMT), the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the half-year ended 30 June 2025.
Highlights :
· NAV per share of US$6.80 (up 3.8% from US$6.55 as of 31 December 2024)
· Total NAV of US$ 213.9 million (US$205.9 million as of 31 December 2024)
· IRR from inception to 30 June 2025 of 14.3% per annum (14.5% from inception to 31 December 2024)
· US$0.5 million of additional investments in the first half of 2025 (US$1.9 million in the first half of 2024)
· US$1.9 million of cash disposals and dividends received in the first half of 2025 (US$5.8 million in the first half of 2024)
· As of 30 June 2025, the Company cash and cash equivalent reserves of US$5.3 million (31 December 2024: US$5.2 million); US$5.1 million as of 11 August 2025
Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director of TMT, commented:
" I n the first half of 2025, TMT's net asset value increased 3.8%, mainly as a result of the significant positive currency exchange impact on the Company's Sterling Pound and Euro-denominated investments. This was a period of continuing macroeconomic and political instability, as well as of subdued venture capital, IPO, and M&A activity.
TMT's portfolio benefited from positive revaluations for three of its investee companies (Bolt, Scale AI, and Rhino ) , which have been partly offset by full and partial write-downs in the value of seven of the Company's investments (Backblaze, MTL Financial, Sonic Jobs, Qumata, Soax, Prodly, and Go X), in line with TMT's highly prudent valuation approach.
The majority of TMT's portfolio companies continue to demonstrate good business progress and are adapting well to the challenges of the current environment. Despite the reduced revenue growth rates for some investees in this environment, many of them have managed to reach either profitability or positive operating cash flow levels.
Given the continued high level of market uncertainty and volatility in the first half of 2025, TMT maintained its cautious investment approach, and made one new investment (excluding capitalised transaction costs) of US$500,000 in Spendbase Inc., a SaaS subscription management and software cost optimisation platform backed by Google ( www.spendbase.co ).
With no financial debt and strong cash and cash equivalent reserves, TMT is well positioned to not only ride out the current market volatility, but also continue making investments and realising full and partial disposals when the right opportunities present themselves.
We look forward to keeping shareholders updated on relevant developments in due course . "

About TMT Investments Plc
TMT Investments Plc invests in high-growth technology companies globally across a number of core specialist sectors. Founded in 2010, TMT has a current investment portfolio of over 50 companies and net assets of US$214 million as of 30 June 2025. The Company's objective is to generate an attractive rate of return for shareholders, predominantly through capital appreciation. The Company is traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. www.tmtinvestments.com .
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
In the first half of 2025, the venture capital segment, along with the broader markets, continued to experience a higher degree of volatility.
In line with the market, TMT's portfolio has continued to see an increased divergence between its stronger and weaker performers. Despite the ongoing challenges in the macroeconomic and political environment in the first half (which marks the fourth "stress year" for the venture capital industry following the tech market correction in early 2022), investors have continued to back fast-growing, high-quality digital technology companies , especially in the currently popular AI segment, although at notably more subdued levels .
We were pleased to see Scale AI and Rhino receive further validation of their progress by raising fresh capital at valuation levels that have resulted in positive revaluations for TMT as of 30 June 2025. In particular, on 12 June 2025, Scale AI, Inc., the "humanity-first" AI company ( https://scale.com ) , announced a significant new investment from Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META) that valued Scale at over US$29 billion. The transaction represented a revaluation uplift of 138% (US$0.7 million) in the fair value of TMT's holding in Scale, compared to the previous reported amount as of 31 December 2024. As part of the transaction, TMT also received a US$0.6 million cash dividend. This positive revaluation of 2.38 times in only eight months represents another example of how notable returns can be generated from risky, but carefully selected, AI opportunities.
In addition, the current fair value of TMT's investment in Bolt was further updated by an US$0.8 million partial disposal by TMT to an independent buyer.
In parallel, TMT continues to apply a highly prudent approach to valuing its portfolio investments and therefore regularly reviews and writes down investments that are not showing the progress the Board believes is required to justify the previously reported valuation level. As a result, during the period, TMT partially or fully wrote down the value of seven of its investments.
NAV per share
The Company's NAV per share of US$6.80 as of 30 June 2025 was notably driven by the upward revaluations of Bolt, ScaleAI and Rhino, as well as a significant positive currency exchange impact at the period-end.
Operating expenses
In the first half of 2025, the Company's administrative expenses of US$ 0.67 million were broadly in line with the corresponding 2024 levels (H1 2024: US$ 0.66 million) , reflecting the Company's subdued level of investment and business development activities during the period.
Financial position
As of 30 June 2025, the Company had no financial debt and cash and cash equivalent reserves of US$ 5.3 million (31 December 2024: US$5.2 million). As of 11 August 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalent reserves of US$ 5.1 million.
Outlook
TMT has a globally diversified investment portfolio of over 50 companies, focused primarily on Big Data/Cloud, SaaS (software-as-a-service), Mobility, and FinTech.
Despite the ongoing market and political volatility, investors continue to invest in high-quality technology businesses at appropriate valuation levels. TMT is continuing to identify such opportunities selectively, whilst employing a generally very cautious investment approach. With no financial debt and strong cash and cash equivalent reserves, TMT is well positioned to not only ride out the current market volatility, but also continue making investments and realising full and partial disposals when the right opportunities present themselves.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. Company information
TMT Investments Plc ("TMT" or the "Company") is a company incorporated in Jersey with its registered office at 13 Castle Street, St Helier, JE1 1ES, Channel Islands.
The Company was incorporated and registered on 30 September 2010 in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended) with registration number 106628 under the name TMT Investments Limited. The Company obtained consent from the Jersey Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1985 on 30 September 2010. On 1 December 2010 the Company re-registered as a public company and changed its name to TMT Investments Plc. The Company's ordinary shares were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on 10 December 2010.
The memorandum and articles of association of the Company do not restrict its activities and therefore it has unlimited legal capacity. The Company's ability to implement its Investing Policy and achieve its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and acquire suitable investments. Suitable investment opportunities may not always be readily available.
The Company seeks to make investments in any region of the world. The Company invests in high‑growth technology companies globally across a number of core specialist sectors. The Company's objective is to generate an attractive rate of return for shareholders, predominantly through capital appreciation.
Financial statements of the Company are prepared by and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, UK adopted International Accounting Standards and their interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRSs"). The Company's accounting reference date is 31 December.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1. Basis of presentation
Interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 are unaudited and were approved by the Directors on 11 August 2025. They do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the United Kingdom. The report of the auditor on those financial statements was unqualified and did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis of matter.
The principal accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of these unaudited financial statements are set out below and have been applied consistently.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis as modified by the fair value of financial assets at ("FVTPL"), as explained in the accounting policies below, and in accordance with IFRS. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
2.2. Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured in United States Dollars ('US dollars', 'USD' or 'US$'), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into US$ using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate (i.e. mid‑market price investments).
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. (i.e. comparable company analysis and cost-based investments as these are effectively re-fair valued at each year-end).
Exchange differences arising from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

The estimate significant to the financial statements during the period and at the period-end is the consideration of the fair value of financial assets at FVPL as set out in the relevant accounting policies. A number of the financial assets at FVPL held by the Company are at an early stage of their development. The Company cannot yet carry out regular reliable fair value estimates of some of these investments. Future events or transactions involving the companies invested in may result in more accurate valuations of their fair values (either upwards or downwards) which may affect the Company's overall net asset value.
Valuation methodologies can be changed from time to time. The following table lists TMT's portfolio companies whose valuation methodology has changed during the period. Those portfolio companies had a total value of US$74,980,609 as of 31 December 2024:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.
When measuring the fair value of a financial instrument, the Company uses relevant transactions during the period or shortly after the period end, which gives an indication of fair value and considers other valuation methods to provide evidence of value. The "price of recent investment" methodology is used mainly for venture capital investments, and the fair value is derived by reference to the most recent financing round or sizeable partial disposal. Fair value change is only recognised if that round involved a new external investor. From time to time, the Company may assess the fair value in the absence of a relevant independent equity transaction by relying on other market observable data and valuation techniques, such as the analysis of revenue multiples of comparable companies and/or comparable transactions. The nature of such valuation techniques is highly judgmental and dependent on the market sentiment at the time of the analysis.
