TCP Capital Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results Including Net Investment Income Of $0.43 Per Share; Third Quarter Dividend Of $0.36 Per Share
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TCP Capital Corp. ("we," "us," "our," "TCPC" or the "Company"), a business development company ("BDC") (NASDAQ: TCPC), today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 and filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $24.8 million, or $0.43 per share on a diluted basis, net of $0.11 per share in incentive compensation.
- Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $20.2 million, or $0.35 per share.
- On April 25, 2017, we closed a public offering of 5.75 million shares of our common stock at $16.84 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $96.8 million and net proceeds of approximately $93.6 million.
- Net asset value per share at June 30, 2017 increased to $15.04 from $14.92 at March 31, 2017, primarily a result of net investment income in excess of paid dividends and the accretive impact of our share issuance above NAV in April 2017.
- Total acquisitions during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were $266.9 million and total dispositions were $159.0 million.
- On August 3, 2017, our board of directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.36 per share payable on September 29, 2017 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2017.
"We are pleased with our strong performance during the second quarter of 2017, as we out-earned our dividend by $0.07 per share, which we believe demonstrates the earnings power of our portfolio," said Howard Levkowitz, TCP Capital Corp. Chairman and CEO. "We are also pleased at our strong pace of deployment as we put to work the proceeds of our very accretive equity raise. In the second quarter, we originated a record $267 million in loans, with net deployments of approximately $108 million. With our robust direct origination platform, we are seeing a significant volume of attractive opportunities, which enables us to grow our portfolio while continuing to be highly selective and disciplined in our investing."
PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
As of June 30, 2017, our investment portfolio consisted of debt and equity positions in 94 portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $1.45 billion. Debt positions represented approximately 95% of the portfolio at fair value, substantially all of which were senior secured debt. Equity positions, including equity interests in portfolios of debt and lease assets, represented approximately 5% of our investment portfolio.
As of June 30, 2017, the weighted average annual effective yield of our debt portfolio was approximately 11.1%.(1) As of June 30, 2017, approximately 85% of our debt portfolio at fair value had floating interest rates. As of June 30, 2017, we had one debt investment on non-accrual status, totaling 0.1% of the portfolio at fair value.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we invested approximately $266.9 million, primarily in fourteen investments, comprised of nine new and five existing portfolio companies. The investments were comprised of approximately $250.2 million in senior secured loans and $10.9 million in senior secured notes. The remaining $5.8 million was comprised of equity investments, including $5.4 million of additional equity interests in portfolios of debt and lease assets. Additionally, we received proceeds from sales and repayments of investment principal of approximately $159.0 million. We expect to continue to invest in senior secured loans, bonds and subordinated debt, as well as select equity investments, to obtain a high level of current income and create the potential for appreciation, with an emphasis on principal protection.
As of June 30, 2017, total assets were $1,525.7 million, net assets applicable to common shareholders were $883.9 million and net asset value per share was $15.04, as compared to $1,414.1 million, $791.3 million, and $14.92 per share, respectively, as of March 31, 2017.
(1) Weighted average annual effective yield includes amortization of deferred debt origination and end-of-term fees and accretion of original issue discount, but excludes market discount, any prepayment and make-whole fee income, and any debt investments on non-accrual status.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $46.2 million, or $0.81 per share, including $0.15 per share from prepayment premiums and related accelerated original issue discount amortization, $0.05 per share from recurring original issue discount amortization and $0.06 per share from recurring income paid in kind. This reflects our policy of recording interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts, on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and similar upfront fees received in connection with the outlay of capital are generally amortized into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $15.2 million, or $0.27 per share, including interest and other debt expenses of $7.9 million, or $0.14 per share. We also incurred incentive compensation from net investment income of $6.2 million, or $0.11 per share. Excluding incentive compensation, interest and other debt expenses, annualized second quarter expenses were 3.4% of average net assets.
Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $31.0 million, or $0.54 per share, before incentive compensation. Net investment income after incentive compensation was $24.8 million, or $0.43 per share.
Net realized and unrealized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $4.6 million, or $0.08 per share, comprised of net realized losses of $1.8 million, or $0.03 per share, and unrealized losses of $2.8 million, or $0.05 per share. Realized gains of $7.0 million on the sale of our equity in Blackline and $1.7 million from our equity in Soasta were offset by a $10.1 million loss realization on the restructuring of our loan to Iracore, most of which had been recognized on an unrealized basis in prior periods. Unrealized losses were comprised primarily of a $5.3 million markdown of Kawa, partially offset by various market gains resulting from generally tighter spreads.
Net increase in net assets applicable to common shareholders resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $20.2 million, or $0.35 per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2017, available liquidity was approximately $381.3 million, comprised of approximately $366.0 million in available capacity under our leverage program and $41.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, less approximately $26.3 million in net outstanding settlements.
The combined weighted-average interest rate on debt outstanding at June 30, 2017 was 4.03%.
Total debt outstanding at June 30, 2017 was as follows:
