Main Street Announces Preliminary Estimate of Second Quarter 2023 Operating Results
Announces Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON, July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the second quarter of 2023 and its second quarter 2023 earnings release and conference call schedule.
In commenting on the Company's operating results for the second quarter of 2023, Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter, which resulted in new quarterly records for net investment income per share, distributable net investment income per share and net asset value per share for the fourth consecutive quarter and a return on equity of over 18%. These results demonstrate the continued and sustainable strength of our overall platform, the benefits of our differentiated and diversified investment strategies, the unique contributions of our asset management business and the underlying strength and quality of our portfolio companies."
Mr. Hyzak continued, "Our distributable net investment income in the second quarter exceeded the monthly dividends paid to our shareholders by over 60% and the total dividends paid to our shareholders by over 20%, allowing us to deliver significant value to our shareholders while still conservatively retaining a meaningful portion of our income. Based upon the continued strength of our performance in the second quarter, we expect another meaningful supplemental dividend to be paid in the third quarter of 2023, which would represent our eighth consecutive quarterly supplemental dividend, to go with the five increases to our regular monthly dividends in the same time period."
Preliminary Estimates of Second Quarter 2023 Results
Main Street's preliminary estimates of second quarter 2023 net investment income ("NII") is $1.05 to $1.07 per share and distributable net investment income ("DNII") is $1.11 to $1.13 per share.(1)
Main Street's preliminary estimate of net asset value ("NAV") per share as of June 30, 2023 is $27.66 to $27.72, representing an increase of $0.43 to $0.49 per share, or 1.6% to 1.8%, from the NAV per share of $27.23 as of March 31, 2023, with this increase after the impact of the supplemental dividend paid in June 2023 of $0.225 per share. The estimated increase in NAV per share is primarily due to the net fair value increase on the investment portfolio resulting from the net unrealized appreciation on our portfolio investments and the net impact of realizations of our portfolio investments, the record estimated NII, which exceeded the regular monthly dividends of $0.675 per share and supplemental dividend of $0.225 per share paid in the second quarter, and the accretive impact from equity issuances during the quarter, partially offset by the tax provision for the quarter.
As a result of Main Street's preliminary estimates of net investment income and net changes in the fair market value of its investment portfolio as noted above, Main Street estimates that it generated a quarterly annualized return on equity for the second quarter of 2023 of 18% to 20%.(2)
Investment Portfolio Activity
The Company's second quarter 2023 operating activities include the following investment activity in our LMM, private loan and middle market investment strategies:
- $130.7 million in total LMM portfolio investments, which after aggregate repayments of debt principal and return of invested equity capital from several LMM portfolio investments and a decrease in cost basis due to the realized loss on a LMM portfolio investment resulted in a net decrease of $6.9 million in the cost basis of our LMM investment portfolio;
- $168.1 million in total private loan investments, which after aggregate repayments and return of invested equity capital from several private loan portfolio investments and a decrease in cost basis due to the realized loss on a private loan portfolio investment resulted in a net decrease of $11.3 million in the cost basis of our private loan investment portfolio; and
- a net decrease of $39.4 million in the cost basis of our middle market investment portfolio, which resulted from the net investment activity and a decrease in cost basis due to the realized losses on several middle market portfolio investments.

End Notes

Distributable net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses, which includes both share-based compensation expenses and deferred compensation expense or benefit. Main Street believes presenting distributable net investment income per share is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance, since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash and deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to Main Street upon settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. In order to reconcile estimated distributable net investment income per share to estimated net investment income per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the second quarter of 2023, $0.05 to $0.06 per share of estimated non-cash compensation expenses are added back to calculate estimated distributable net investment income per share. |
