Burford Capital Limited announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, on May 7, 2025. The company reported robust first-quarter results, which is typically a lighter seasonal period, showcasing continued momentum in its portfolio.
Total revenues for Q1 2025 saw a substantial 168% increase year-over-year, driven primarily by a five-fold increase in capital provision income within the Principal Finance segment. This surge was attributed to higher net realized gains of $67.6 million, up from $57.9 million in Q1 2024, and a favorable fair value adjustment of $57.9 million.
The company achieved a positive net income attributable to shareholders of $30.9 million, a marked improvement from a net loss in the prior-year period. Principal Finance deployments reached $125.8 million, and realizations totaled $162.9 million, both well above first-quarter levels in recent years.
Burford also added $158 million in new definitive commitments during the quarter, including the launch of a new U.S. claim family. Total undrawn commitments stood at $1.91 billion as of March 31, 2025, with $1.53 billion attributable to the Principal Finance segment, providing a clear runway for future deployments.
