Helios Fairfax Partners Corporation announced its financial results for Q1 2025, with a book value per share of $3.85 and net earnings of $0.9 million, compared to a net loss of $41.6 million in Q4 2024. The company reported $13.2 million in net gains on its Helios Managed Investments, partially offset by losses on its TopCo LP investment.
The increase in book value per share and net earnings in Q1 2025 were driven by unrealized gains on investments and interest income.

The increase in book value per share to $3.85 as of March 31, 2025, compared to $3.84 as of December 31, 2024, was primarily due to unrealized gains on investments. HFP had 108,179,127 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025, with detailed financial reports available on their website.
