ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL INC. (TSX: AAB, FRA: A8H, OTC: AABVF) REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2023

Aberdeen International Inc. has released its financial results for the three months ended April 30, 2023.

  • Total investment loss of $3.9-million for the three months ended April 30, 2023, comprising realized losses on investments of $300,000 and unrealized loss on investments of $3.6-million.
  • As at April 30, 2023, Aberdeen's shareholders' equity was $24.2-million, or 16 cents per basic share.
  • Investments in clean energy inputs and technologies such as Ammpower Corp., EV Technology Group and Jourdan continue to be core to Aberdeen's strategy.

For the three months ended April 30, 2023, Aberdeen reported a net loss of $4.5-million or three cents per basic share from total revenue of $(3.9)-million (realized loss on investments of $300,000, unrealized loss on investments of $3.6-million). For the three months ending April 30, 2022, Aberdeen reported net loss of $1.2-million or one cent per basic share from total revenue of $300,000 (realized loss on investments of $200,000, unrealized gains on investments of $500,000).

Market conditions remain challenging and the portfolio remains heavily invested in early-stage companies, largely in the natural resources and clean energy sectors -- sectors that are thematically important as the world seeks to secure critical materials for a growing population while concurrently transitioning to a lower-carbon energy mix. Despite the significance of these themes and the company's exposure to them, early-stage investment valuations have been pressured amidst a global risk-off environment, driven by inflationary concerns and monetary policy actions being taken by central banks, amongst other factors.

"Clean tech and sustainable agriculture continue to be Aberdeen's largest exposures and we continue to actively seek opportunities to drive value for shareholders during a challenging time for companies that are early on in their life cycle. We remain focused on supporting operational execution of our portfolio companies and anticipate that our efforts will pay off when markets eventually turn the corner," said Martin Schuermann, chief executive officer of Aberdeen.

The company continues to focus on the transition to an economy fuelled by clean energy, seeking attractive investment opportunities and strategic partners that can drive even greater portfolio value.

The company also announces Wen Ye's resignation from the company's board of directors. Management and the board of directors of the company would like to thank Ms. Ye for her services and continued support of the company.
