"Two thousand and twelve capped a good year for European Capital. NAV grew by €78 million, or 12% in 2012, with investments performing better than we had expected considering the weak economy in some parts of Europe," said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We generated €82 million of cash realisations and invested €151 million of which €122 million was in new portfolio companies."
PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND ORIGINATIONS
In the half year and year ended 31 December 2012, €27 million and €82 million of cash proceeds were received from realisations of portfolio investments respectively. The Company also made new committed investments of €56 million in the second half of the year and €151 million for the full year respectively. Of the full year total commitments, €122 million was committed to new portfolio companies and €29 million in our existing portfolio for growth, acquisitions and refinancings.
"During the second half, we continued to see liquidity in the portfolio and deployed our capital into areas that add to shareholder value," said Ira Wagner, President. "We are committed to supporting our existing portfolio companies as well as originating new investments in both debt opportunities and for One Stop Buyouts®. We are seeing increasingly attractive opportunities in European credit as a result of the regulatory environment making it difficult for banks to lend to mid market companies as they had in the past. As a result, we are seeing more lending opportunities with better pricing and terms."
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the half year and year ended 31 December 2012, net unrealised appreciation of investments totalled €39 million and €57 million respectively; with €40 million of appreciation for the year attributable to our controlled portfolio driven by performance improvements in the portfolio and €17 million of appreciation attributable to the sponsored finance portfolio.
Since inception, European Capital has invested €3.5 billion in 105 portfolio companies and has realised €1.9 billion from portfolio company exits. Out of the €1.9 billion we have exited fully 45 portfolio companies, realising an aggregate of €1.2 billion comprising:
- €826 million of principal repayments;
- €166 million from loan syndications and sales;
- €128 million of collections of PIK notes and dividends; and
- €113 million from sales of equity.
These exits achieved an aggregate IRR of 9.9%. The equity investments of these exited portfolio companies have achieved a 29.1% IRR.
The European Capital portfolio as of 31 December 2012 stood at fair value of €1.2 billion, with an average investment size of €25 million per portfolio company. European Capital's largest investment represents 15.0% of total investment assets at fair value and the ten largest investments represent 56.4% of total investment assets at fair value as of 31 December 2012.
As at 31 December 2012, loans with a cost of €307 million and a fair value of €60 million were on non-accrual, representing 8.0% of total loans at fair value, compared to €263 million cost and €60 million fair value of non-accrual loans, representing 8.2% of total loans at fair value as at 30 June 2012. Fair value of loans remained stable during the second half although cost of loans on non-accrual increased as result of loans added to non-accrual status with nil fair value.
