Partners III Opportunity Fund stated the following regarding Perimeter Solutions, SA (NYSE:PRM) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“The Fund’s top detractors in 2023 were CoreCard Corp. (CCRD US), Perimeter Solutions, SA (NYSE:PRM), and The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) (sold during the first quarter in the wake of regional bank stresses). Perimeter is the leading provider of fire retardants and firefighting foam used to combat wildfires. While positive news for residents, acres burned in Perimeter’s markets (particularly California) were significantly below average for the second year in a row, diminishing cash flow and obscuring the company’s earnings power compared to a more typical year.”
