American Capital also announced that it has retained Goldman Sachs as a financial advisor to the Company as it evaluates separating its investment assets from its asset management business. As discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company is undertaking a process to evaluate its corporate structure to determine whether that structure and the various legal, regulatory and accounting regimes under which it operates are the optimum means for the operation and capitalization of its business. There is no assurance that this evaluation process will result in any changes to the Company's corporate structure or operations or that the Company will provide any further communications regarding the progress or results of this evaluation process.
"We have made progress evaluating our corporate structure," said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to engaging Goldman Sachs, our Board of Directors suspended our Share Repurchase and Dividend Program, as we evaluate the capital requirements of our alternatives."
"Also, subsequent to quarter end, we created ACE III, our fifth fund or company investing in private equity, which will have $1.1 billion of assets and committed capital," continued Mr. Wilkus. "This significant development in our asset management business expands our base of institutional investors and provides the opportunity to become their long-term asset management partner. ACE III increases ACAM's earning assets under management by 7%, and it will earn fees and participate in investment gains. It also will generate liquidity of up to approximately $640 million."
"With our substantial liquidity, excellent Leverage Finance Team and an unlevered balance sheet, we have begun investing in senior floating rate loans," said Mr. Wilkus. "Late in the first quarter, we invested $199 million in these loans, and have invested approximately $140 million more quarter to date and intend on investing significantly more during the remaining portion of this quarter and the year. This will have a positive impact on earnings starting in the second quarter."
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, net unrealized appreciation, before income taxes, totaled $32 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
- $121 million unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in ACAM, primarily due to an increase in actual and forecasted growth and multiple expansion;
- $60 million unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, driven by a reduction in the discount applied to the NAV of European Capital and net unrealized appreciation of European Capital's underlying investment portfolio.
- The Company's equity investment in European Capital was valued at $801 million as of March 31, 2014, or 87% of European Capital's NAV, compared to $841 million as of December 31, 2013 or 85% of European Capital's NAV; partially offset by
- $146 million net unrealized depreciation from American Capital's private finance portfolio primarily driven by the ACE III transaction and declining company specific performance.
"American Capital Asset Management appreciated this quarter by $121 million," said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. "The appreciation was in part due to an improving outlook for AGNC and MTGE, the two mortgage REITs ACAM manages, and the creation of ACE III. Also, ACSF, a business development company managed by ACAM and focused on senior floating rate loans, successfully completed its IPO. By quarter end, ACSF had fully invested the IPO proceeds at attractive risk adjusted yields. Like AGNC and MTGE, we expect ACSF to perform and grow as it has quite attractive investment opportunities in a very large market."
PORTFOLIO REALIZATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
In the first quarter of 2014, $442 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments, including a dividend distribution of $104 million from European Capital and $195 million in proceeds from ACAM related to the repayment of ACAM's initial investment in ACSF. American Capital made $321 million in new committed investments during the quarter, including $199 million of senior floating rate loans.
The weighted average effective interest rate on American Capital's debt investments as of March 31, 2014 was 9.1%, 90 basis points lower than the December 31, 2013 rate of 10.0%. The primary drivers of the decline in the weighted average effective interest rate relates to the new investments in senior floating rate loans at quarter end and new non-accruing loans as a result of weaker company performance.
As of March 31, 2014, loans with a fair value of $165 million were on non-accrual, representing 9.2% of total loans at fair value, compared to $154 million fair value of non-accrual loans, or 9.7% of total loans at fair value as of December 31, 2013. The $11 million increase in the fair value of loans on non-accrual was generally driven by loans placed on non-accrual status due to weaker portfolio company performance. Total loans on non-accrual were valued at 52.4% of cost at the end of the quarter, a 1.3% decrease from the prior quarter. This is an estimate of the amount the Company expects to recover on non-accruing loans. The estimated loss on total loans at cost, defined as net accumulated depreciation on non-accrual loans plus realized losses on loans during the period, was $150 million, or 7.8%. Net operating income before income taxes of $0.06 per diluted share during the quarter was reduced by $0.06 per diluted share due to the net impact of debt and equity securities being added and removed from non-accrual status.
"European Capital received €141 million of realizations in the first quarter, which allowed European Capital to distribute €75 million, or $104 million, to American Capital," said Ira Wagner, President, European Private Finance. "It's also gratifying to report that European Capital increased its NAV by €25 million, or 12% annualized, prior to its distributions to American Capital, and that American Capital's investment in European Capital appreciated $60 million."
STOCK REPURCHASE AND DIVIDEND PROGRAM
American Capital's Board of Directors adopted a program that may provide for repurchases of shares or dividend payments. Under the program, American Capital may consider quarterly setting an amount to be utilized for stock repurchases or dividends. Generally, the amount may be utilized for repurchases if the price of American Capital's common stock represents a discount to the NAV of its shares, and the amount may be utilized for the payment of cash dividends if the price of American Capital's common stock represents a premium to the NAV of its shares.
During the quarter, American Capital made open market purchases of 8.9 million shares, or $137 million, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $15.38 per share. Since the inception of the program in August 2011, American Capital has made open market purchases of 101.6 million shares, or $1.2 billion, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $11.74 per share. This represents 29% of shares outstanding immediately prior to the launch of the program.
In March 2014, American Capital's Board of Directors suspended the program for an indefinite period.
