BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:BKCC) (“BCIC” or the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.10 per share, payable on October 6, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2021.

“We generated strong momentum in the second quarter, growing our investment portfolio by $91 million, improving NII by 15.6% and delivering a 7.5% increase in NAV,” said James E. Keenan, Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company. “We have nearly completed our strategic rotation out of non-core, legacy assets, while building the portfolio for stable, long-term strength. We deployed nearly $89 million in the quarter, including investments in 16 new portfolio companies, setting the stage for continued improvement in our results for our stockholders.”

“We continue to draw upon the power of the BlackRock platform to identify compelling new opportunities with solid risk-adjusted returns, focusing on senior secured debt - and first lien loans in particular,” Keenan said. “The second quarter of 2021 represented our strongest level of gross deployments in two years. Of the new investment dollars in the quarter, 77% was in first lien term loans. Approximately 64% of the portfolio now consists of first lien investments, up from 34% at the end of 2019.”

“We also remain intently focused on diversifying the portfolio to capitalize on a broader range of sectors and opportunities, and also to safeguard against potential challenges in any given industry,” Keenan added. “We closed the second quarter with 74 portfolio companies, up from 60 in the prior quarter and 47 at the end of 2019. This represents remarkable progress – and we fully anticipate making more headway in the back half of 2021.”

3		Represents portfolio information on a pro forma basis following the successful monetization of the SVP equity subsequent to June 30, 2021. The pro forma amounts are calculated by excluding SVP FMV from the portfolio at June 30, 2021 and including newly issued equity associated with the SVP sale.

“As we steadily boosted deployments, we increased net leverage to 0.56x for the second quarter from 0.38x for the first quarter. We have more leverage runway to utilize as we pursue further growth. As the portfolio continues to grow in coming quarters, we expect it will be accretive to NII and provide increased dividend coverage for our stockholders,” Keenan concluded.

Business Updates

• Reduced Exposure in Non-core Legacy Portfolio:
  • As previously disclosed, the Company fully exited its debt and equity positions in Red Apple Stores Inc., resulting in proceeds of $14.9 million (including $0.1 million of interest). Refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 3, 2021.
  • As of June 30, 2021, non-core legacy assets comprised approximately $45.9 million, or 8% of our total portfolio at FMV (five portfolio companies, excluding portfolio companies with zero FMV), as compared to 8% at the end of the first quarter of 2021 and 16% at the end of 2019. The equity investment in SVP, a non-core asset, had a fair value of $25.9 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $23.2 million compared to prior quarter, driven by an expected sale of the portfolio company which closed subsequent to June 30, 2021. The successful exit of our existing equity investment in SVP resulted in cash proceeds of $19.6 million and newly issued equity with a cost basis of approximately $6 million. Based on the mechanics of the sale, the Company may receive additional proceeds in the future from an escrow and earn out payment linked to the performance of SVP. As a result of the SVP sale, non-core assets would decline to approximately $25.9 million, or 5% of the portfolio at FMV on a pro forma basis, which would be comprised of $17.6 million of income producing investments across two portfolio companies and $8.3 million in non-income producing assets.
• Reduced Exposure in Other Junior Capital:
  • Other junior capital (unsecured debt and equity) exposure, excluding non-core assets, in the portfolio stood at 10% by FMV, down from 13% at March 31, 2021 and 40% at December 31, 2019.
  • During the second quarter, BCIC Senior Loan Partners (“SLP”) returned an incremental $3.8 million of capital to BCIC with proceeds from exiting one of its investments. At June 30, 2021, SLP held first lien loans in three portfolio companies, with an aggregate FMV of $29.6 million. BCIC owns 85% of the equity in SLP.
• Revolving Credit Facility Amendment: As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Credit Facility which among other items, extended the maturity date on loans made under the Credit Facility from June 5, 2023 to April 23, 2025, and reduced the aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility from $300 million to $265 million. For more information on the Amendment, refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2021.
• Share Repurchase Program: On November 3, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to a total of 7,500,000 shares, effective until the earlier of November 2, 2021 or such time that all the authorized shares have been repurchased. During the quarter, 80,944 shares were repurchased for $301,703 at an average price of $3.73 per share, including brokerage commissions. As of June 30, 2021, 7,162,994 shares remained authorized for repurchase. Cumulative repurchases since BlackRock entered into the investment management agreement with the Company in early 2015 totaled approximately 8.6 million shares at an average price of $6.42 per share, including brokerage commissions, for a total of $55.2 million. Since the inception of our share repurchase program through June 30, 2021, we have purchased approximately 10.3 million shares at an average price of $6.52 per share, including brokerage commissions, for a total of $67.5 million.

Second Quarter Financial Updates

• NII was $4.8 million, or approximately $0.07 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Relative to distributions declared of $0.10 per share, our NII distribution coverage was 65% for the quarter, up from 56% from the first quarter. As we continue to re-deploy into assets consistent with our core strategy, post successfully reducing our exposure in junior capital and non-core investments during 2020 and the first half of 2021, we expect our earnings power to be accretive in the coming quarters.
• NAV increased to $347.2 million, up 7.5% from $322.9 million at March 31, 2021. NAV per share increased 7.6% or $0.33 per share to $4.68 per share on a quarter-over-quarter basis, primarily due to net realized and unrealized gains of $27.2 million during the quarter.
• For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we incurred base management fees of $1.8 million, and zero incentive management fees based on income. Since March 2017, the adviser has waived $29.7 million of incentive management fees on a cumulative basis. There was no accrual or payment of incentive management fees based on gains as of June 30, 2021.

Supplemental Information

The Company reports its financial results on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis; however, management believes that evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of the Company’s financial performance over time. The Company’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Incentive management fees based on income have been calculated for each calendar quarter and are paid on a quarterly basis if certain thresholds are met. The Company records its liability for incentive management fees based on capital gains by performing a hypothetical liquidation at the end of each reporting period. The accrual of this hypothetical capital gains incentive management fee is required by GAAP, but it should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued is not due and payable until the end of the measurement period, or every June 30. The incremental incentive management fees disclosed for a given period are not necessarily indicative of actual full year results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. For the period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020, BCIA had voluntarily and partially waived incentive fees. For a more detailed description of the Company’s incentive management fee, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Computations for the periods below are derived from the Company's financial statements as follows:

Note: The NII amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are net of incentive fees based on income and an incentive fee waiver in the amount of $1,608,740 and $3,533,138. There was no waiver for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of incentive fees based on income of zero for the period. For the periods shown, there is no difference between the GAAP and as adjusted figures; however, there may be a difference in future periods.
1		Pre-Incentive Fee: Amounts are adjusted to remove all incentive fees. Such fees are calculated but not necessarily due and payable at this time.
2		As Adjusted: Amounts are adjusted to remove the incentive fee expense based on gains, as required by GAAP, and to include only the incremental incentive fee expense based on Income. Incentive fee expense based on income has been calculated for each calendar quarter and may be paid on a quarterly basis if certain thresholds are met. Amounts reflect the Company's ongoing operating results and reflect the Company's financial performance over time.
