Burford Capital Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results
Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance and asset
management firm focused on law, today announces its unaudited financial
results at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
In addition, Burford has made available an accompanying three and six months
ended June 30, 2024 results presentation and capital provision-direct and
capital provision-indirect asset data tables on its website at
http://investors.burfordcapital.com (http://investors.burfordcapital.com) and
at http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/7270Z_1-2024-8-8.pdf
(http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/7270Z_1-2024-8-8.pdf) .
Christopher Bogart, Chief Executive Officer of Burford Capital, commented:
"Burford had a strong second quarter, with Burford-only total revenues up 217%
and capital provision income up 237% over the comparable period in 2023. A
series of case wins underline the lack of correlation between Burford's cash
flows and markets or the economy and demonstrate continued progression in our
$7.4 billion Group-wide total portfolio. New business was also active with
new commitments above our recent quarterly average. As we've signaled,
overall year-to-date results can't compare with last year given the unrealized
gains from the 2023 YPF win, but year-to-date net realized gains on our core
portfolio were up 36%. After a typically sleepy first quarter, we are very
pleased with the performance of the business in the second quarter and in the
first half of 2024."

§ Total revenues in 2Q24 of $137 million (2Q23: $43 million), driven by

million) and with no individual asset having a significant impact on quarterly
performance

year benefiting from the substantial positive impact of significant
YPF-related capital provision income

million) and $102 million in YTD24 (YTD23: $284 million), with the decrease in
YTD24 attributable principally to the decrease in total revenues discussed

$37 million (2Q23: $44 million) and YTD24 down 31% to $67 million (YTD23: $98

movements in Burford's share price on a period-to-period basis

significant changes in cash operating expense levels, which remain largely
consistent

Change in independent auditors
As previously announced in a report on Form 6-K furnished to the US Securities
and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2024, Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") was
dismissed as Burford's independent registered public accounting firm effective
immediately following the issuance of Burford's consolidated financial
statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. KPMG LLP ("KPMG")
will replace E&Y as Burford's independent registered public accounting
firm and will review Burford's consolidated financial statements for the three
and nine months ending September 30, 2024 and will audit Burford's
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2024. KPMG's appointment is subject to the ratification of Burford's
shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting to be held on August 20,
2024.
In accordance with Guernsey law, E&Y has deposited with Burford a
statement confirming there are no matters to be brought to the attention of
Burford's members or creditors.
Adoption of US Rule 10b5-1 executive share liquidity plans
A feature of the US public markets is a well-established and widely used
approach for corporate executives to obtain some liquidity from their
shareholdings as part of their personal financial planning. As part of its
acquisition of full US domestic issuer status, Burford is joining typical US
public company practice (including, we believe, the clear majority of S&P
500 companies) in permitting the use by its executives of plans that pre-set
such transactions in the future, known as "Rule 10b5-1 trading plans" after
the SEC rule that provides for such plans. To be clear, the adoption and use
of Rule 10b5-1 plans does not alter a company's commitment to its executives
being meaningfully exposed to its equity nor does it affect Burford's minimum
share ownership policy for its executives; rather, Rule 10b5-1 plans provide a
vehicle for enabling some liquidity in an orderly manner that removes
executives from short-term trading decisions and the potential for market
signaling.
The Rule 10b5-1 plans will be administered by Merrill Lynch and operate as
follows, consistent with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and the usual design
of such plans. During any open period (which typically occurs following the
release of each quarter's earnings), an executive may choose to adopt the Rule
10b5-1 plan by authorizing the sale of a certain amount of the executive's
holdings in Burford's ordinary shares over the forthcoming year. Those sales
are then managed by Merrill Lynch according to pre-set parameters set forth in
the Rule 10b5-1 plan; the executive has no involvement in the trading
process. No sales occur during what is known as a "cooling-off period,"
which is typically 90-120 days under the relevant rules after adopting the
Rule 10b5-1 plan.
Over the course of the next year, Burford expects that four of its executives
(its CEO, CIO and co-COOs) will adopt and make use of the Rule 10b5-1 plans in
connection with nominal levels of their Burford's ordinary shares. Burford
expects that those executives will also continue to amass additional ordinary
shares of Burford as an integral part of their compensation plans.

Definitions and use of non-GAAP financial measures and alternative performance
measures
Burford reports its consolidated financial results in accordance with US GAAP.
US GAAP requires us to present financial statements that consolidate some of
the limited partner interests in private funds we manage as well as assets
held on our balance sheet where we have a partner or minority investor. We
therefore refer to various presentations of our consolidated financial results
as follows:
• Consolidated refers to assets, liabilities and activities that include those
third-party interests, partially owned subsidiaries and special purpose
vehicles that we are required to consolidate under US GAAP. At the date of
this announcement, the major entities where there is also a third-party
partner in, or owner of, those entities include Burford Opportunity Fund C LP,
Burford Advantage Master Fund LP, Colorado Investments Limited ("Colorado")
and several other entities in which Burford holds investments where there is
also a third-party partner in, or owner of, those entities.
• Burford-only refers to assets, liabilities and activities that pertain only to
Burford on a proprietary basis, excluding any third-party interests and the
portions of jointly owned entities owned by others.
• Group-wide refers to the totality of assets managed by Burford, including
those portions of the private funds owned by third parties and including
private funds that are not consolidated within Burford's consolidated
financial statements. Group-wide is therefore the sum of Burford-only and
non-controlling interests in consolidated and non-consolidated private funds.
Group-wide does not include third-party interests in capital provision assets,
the economics of which have been sold to those third parties, which do not
meet the criteria to be recognized as a sale under US GAAP. This includes the
third-party interests in Colorado and other capital provision asset
subparticipations.
We subdivide our capital provision assets into two categories:
• Direct, which includes all of our capital provision assets that we have
originated directly (i.e., not through participation in a private fund) from
our balance sheet. We also include direct (i.e., not through participation in
a private fund) complex strategies assets in this category.
• Indirect, which includes our balance sheet's participations in one of our
private funds (i.e., Burford Advantage Master Fund LP).
We also use certain unaudited alternative performance measures, including:
• Internal rate of return ("IRR") is a discount rate that makes the net present
value of a series of cash flows equal to zero and is expressed as a percentage
figure. We compute IRR on concluded (including partially concluded) legal
finance assets by treating that entire portfolio (or, when noted, a subset
thereof) as one undifferentiated pool of capital and measuring actual and, if
necessary, estimated inflows and outflows from that pool, allocating costs
appropriately. IRRs do not include unrealized gains or losses.
• Return on invested capital ("ROIC") from a concluded asset is the absolute
amount of realizations from such asset in excess of the amount of expenditure
incurred in financing such asset divided by the amount of expenditure
incurred, expressed as a percentage figure. ROIC is a measure of our ability
to generate absolute returns on our assets. Some industry participants express
returns on a multiple of invested capital ("MOIC") instead of a ROIC basis.
MOIC includes the return of capital and, therefore, is 1x higher than ROIC. In
other words, 70% ROIC is the same as 1.70x MOIC.
Other unaudited alternative performance measures and terms we use include:
• Commitment is the amount of financing we agree to provide for a legal finance
asset. Commitments can be definitive (requiring us to provide financing on a
schedule or, more often, when certain expenses are incurred) or discretionary
(allowing us to provide financing after reviewing and approving a future
matter). Unless otherwise indicated, commitments include deployed cost and
undrawn commitments.
• Deployment refers to the financing provided for an asset, which adds to our
deployed cost in such asset.
• Deployed cost is the amount of financing we have provided for an asset at the
applicable point in time.
• Fair value adjustment is the amount of unrealized gain or loss recognized in
our consolidated statements of operations in the relevant period and added to
or subtracted from, as applicable, the asset or liability value in our
consolidated statements of financial position.
• Portfolio includes deployed cost, net unrealized gains or losses and undrawn
commitments.
• Realization: A legal finance asset is realized when the asset is concluded
(i.e., when litigation risk has been resolved). A realization will result in
us receiving cash or, occasionally, non-cash assets, or recognizing a due from
settlement receivable, reflecting what we are owed on the asset.
• Realized gain / loss reflects the total amount of gain or loss, relative to
cost, generated by a legal finance asset when it is realized, calculated as
realized proceeds less deployed cost, without regard for any previously
recognized fair value adjustment.
• Unrealized gain / loss represents the fair value of our legal finance assets
over or under their deployed cost, as determined in accordance with the
requirements of the applicable US GAAP standards, for the relevant financial
reporting period (consolidated statements of operations) or cumulatively
(consolidated statements of financial position).
• YPF-related assets refers to our Petersen and Eton Park legal finance assets,
which are two claims relating to the Republic of Argentina's nationalization
of YPF S.A., the Argentine energy company.
We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including:
• Book value per ordinary share is calculated by dividing total Burford Capital
Limited equity by the number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
• Cash receipts represent cash generated during the reporting period from our
capital provision assets, asset management income and certain other items,
before any deployments into financing existing or new assets. Cash receipts
are a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation
from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with US GAAP. The most directly comparable measure calculated in
accordance with US GAAP is proceeds from capital provision assets as set forth
in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We believe that cash receipts
are an important measure of our operating and financial performance and are
useful to management and investors when assessing the performance of our
Burford-only capital provision assets.
• Tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited is calculated by
subtracting intangible assets (such as goodwill) from total Burford Capital
Limited equity. Tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited
per ordinary share is calculated by dividing tangible book value attributable
to Burford Capital Limited by the total number of outstanding ordinary shares.
Each of tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited and
tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share
is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation
from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with US GAAP. The most directly comparable measure calculated in
accordance with US GAAP is total Burford Capital Limited equity as set forth
in our consolidated statements of financial position. We believe that tangible
book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share is an
important measure of our financial condition and is useful to management and
investors when assessing capital adequacy and our ability to generate earnings
on tangible equity invested by our shareholders.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as
substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance
with US GAAP.

Forward-looking statements
This announcement contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding
assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future
events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking statements". In some
cases, predictive, future-tense or forward-looking words such as "aim",
"anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect",
"forecast", "guidance", "intend", "may", "plan", "potential", "predict",
"projected", "should" or "will" or the negative of such terms or other
comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition,
Burford and its representatives may from time to time make other oral or
written statements that are forward-looking, including in its periodic reports
that Burford files with, or furnishes to, the US Securities and Exchange
Commission, other information made available to Burford's security holders and
other written materials. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate
to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.
Burford cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are based on numerous assumptions, expectations, projections,
intentions and beliefs and that Burford's actual results of operations,
including its financial position and liquidity, and the development of the
industry in which it operates, may differ materially from (and be more
negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements
contained in this announcement. Significant factors that may cause actual
results to differ from those Burford expects include, among others, those
discussed under "Risk Factors" in Burford's annual report on Form 20-F for the
year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 28, 2024 and other reports or documents that Burford files
with, or furnishes to, the US Securities and Exchange Commission from time to
time. In addition, even if Burford's results of operations, including its
financial position and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which
it operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in
this announcement, those results of operations or developments may not be
indicative of results of operations or developments in subsequent periods.
Except as required by applicable law, Burford undertakes no obligation to
update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
