Alcentra Capital Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results
NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcentra Capital Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: "ABDC") ("Alcentra" or the "Company"), announced today its financial results for the second quarter of 2014. The Company reported net investment income of $2.5 million or $0.18 cents per share, for the period May 8, 2014 through June 30, 2014, and including net realized and unrealized gains of $1.5 million, for earnings of $3.78 million, or $0.28 per share, for the same period. At June 30, 2014, net asset value ("NAV") per share was $14.76.
On August 12, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a third quarter calendar dividend of $0.34 per share payable on October 6, 2014 to shareholders of record of September 30, 2014.
The Company had previously paid a dividend of $0.178 per share on July 7, 2014 to shareholders of record of June 30, 2014.
Mr. Paul J. Echausse, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The second quarter period, albeit a short reporting period for us as a public company, demonstrated our ability to make investments in companies with good growth characteristics. We invested in four opportunities in the seven week post-IPO period (two new portfolio companies and two add-ons), and five opportunities since June 30, 2014 (two new portfolio companies and three add-ons), thus continuing our initiative to diversify and grow the portfolio. We are pleased with the quality of the new opportunities we are seeing in the current market. The fact that we have declared a $0.34 dividend for the third calendar quarter speaks to the confidence that we have in our current deal pipeline."
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of June 30, 2014, our investment portfolio consisted of 21 companies with a fair value of $200.2 million, of which $72.2 million were first lien investments with a weighted average yield of 12.24% (36.1% of the portfolio); $7.4 million were second lien investments with a weighted average yield of 9.5% (3.7% of the portfolio); $64.2 million were in unsecured debt investments with a weighted average yield of 13.0% (32.1% of the portfolio); and $56.4 million were in preferred stock, common stock or warrants (28.2% of the portfolio). The weighted average yield on our debt portfolio was 12.3%. Our average portfolio company investment was approximately $10.4 million and there were no non-performing loans in the portfolio.
As we stated in our IPO presentation, we will be re-balancing the portfolio over the next twelve months to increase the percentage of our portfolio invested in debt and decrease the percentage of equity as well. If you look at the nature of the four transactions we closed prior to June 30, 2014, and the five transactions thereafter, you will see the implementation of this strategy being executed.
