- $83 million NOI

"Our book value per share grew by $1.26 for the quarter to $11.97, delivering a 45% annualized return on equity for the quarter," said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have now experienced seven consecutive quarters of net unrealized appreciation on our investments. We believe that the performance of our portfolio will continue to improve as the economy continues to recover. We remain focused on improving our balance sheet and originating high quality investment opportunities."
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, net unrealized appreciation of investments totaled $354 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
- $133 million unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, excluding any impact of foreign currency translation on European Capital's cost basis or cumulative unrealized depreciation, primarily due to an increase in European Capital's NAV and a decrease in the implied discount to its NAV,
- The equity investment in European Capital is valued at $780 million, compared to the $970 million fair value of European Capital's NAV;
- $75 million net unrealized appreciation from American Capital's private finance portfolio as a result of improved portfolio company performance and improved multiples;
- $60 million unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in American Capital, LLC, its alternative fund management company, primarily due to an increase in its funds under management; and
- $39 million net unrealized appreciation from structured products investments as a result of improved cash flow projections and improved pricing of comparable transactions.
"During the quarter, we followed up on our success in 2010 and continued to strengthen our balance sheet," said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. "We paid down an additional $517 million of debt, including $300 million of secured debt due 2013 and improved our asset coverage ratio to 336%. We continued to see strong liquidity in our portfolio during the quarter and focused on maximizing the value of our investments through organic growth and acquisitions to generate shareholder value. Additionally, we are adding shareholder value by growing our asset management business. Our assets under management grew by $14.6 billion as American Capital Agency Corp. raised $1.8 billion of equity and $13 billion of financing during the quarter."
PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND PERFORMANCE
In the first quarter of 2011, $269 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments and exits. The Company made $152 million in new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company's private finance debt investments as of March 31, 2011, was 10.3%, which was 10 basis points higher than the December 31, 2010 rate of 10.2%.
As of March 31, 2011, loans with a fair value of $227 million were on non-accrual, representing 7.7% of total loans at fair value, compared to $239 million fair value of non-accrual loans, representing 7.8% of total loans at fair value as of December 31, 2010.
"The credit quality of our portfolio continued to improve this quarter," noted Gordon O'Brien, President, Specialty Finance and Operations. "Our past due accruing loans declined to $3 million as of quarter end and we are seeing continued improvement in the amount of non-accruing loans in our portfolio. As the economy continues to improve, we expect to see the credit quality of our portfolio continue to improve."
