Insights

The Q3 2024 results demonstrate solid financial performance with several positive indicators. $38.4 million in total investment income represents a 12.3% year-over-year increase, driven by higher interest income and dividend income. Net investment income per share remained stable at $0.64, showing consistent earnings power.

The portfolio quality appears robust with a 13.8% weighted average yield on debt investments and 101.5% fair value to cost ratio. The company maintains strong liquidity with $54.4 million in cash and $100 million in unused credit facility capacity. The declared dividend of $0.61 ($0.43 base + $0.18 supplemental) indicates management's confidence in sustained earnings power.

Notable is the $43.1 million ($1.27 per share) in spillover income, providing a cushion for future dividend sustainability. The weighted average interest rate on debt of 4.6% remains attractive in the current rate environment.

The lower middle-market focus positions FDUS well in the current market environment. The company's investment strategy of maintaining a diversified portfolio across 85 active companies reduces concentration risk. New investments in healthcare IT (InductiveHealth) and aviation training (Thrust Flight) demonstrate strategic sector diversification.

The variable rate exposure on 73.2% of the debt portfolio provides natural hedge against interest rate fluctuations. The successful deployment of $65.9 million in new investments against $50.8 million in repayments shows healthy portfolio turnover while maintaining investment discipline.

The ATM program's success in raising $14.1 million indicates strong market demand for FDUS shares, providing additional capital for growth opportunities while managing leverage.

EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:FDUS) (“Fidus” or the “Company”), a provider of customized debt and equity financing solutions, primarily to lower middle-market companies based in the United States, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

“For the third quarter, our debt investments generated a 8.4% increase in interest income year-over-year. We continued to carefully grow total assets under management while maintaining a healthy portfolio structured to deliver recurring income and the potential for enhanced returns from the monetization of equity investments. We expect investment activity to remain at reasonable levels for the rest of the year, providing us opportunities to advance our long-term goals of generating attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders, preserving capital and growing NAV over time,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation.    

(1)    Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure.  This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income.  Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses.  The management agreement with our investment adviser provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses.  In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate.  As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of net investment income to adjusted net investment income are set forth in Schedule 1.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

The following table provides a summary of our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

             
  Three Months Ended September 30,

Adjusted net investment income (1) $20,424  $18,188  $2,236   12.3%
Adjusted net investment income per share (1) $0.61  $0.68  $(0.07)  (10.3%)
             
Net increase  (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations $16,477  $24,299  $(7,822)  (32.2%)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per share $0.49  $0.91  $(0.42)  (46.2%)

The $4.2 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily attributable to (i) a $2.6 million increase in total interest income (which includes payment-in-kind interest income) resulting from an increase in average debt investment balances outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in weighted average yield on debt investment balances outstanding, (ii) a $1.1 million increase in dividend income due to an increase in distributions received from equity investments and (iii) a $0.4 million increase in fee income resulting from an increase in amendment fees.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, were $17.0 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or (3.2%) from the $17.5 million of total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a $2.5 million decrease in capital gains incentive fee accrued, partially offset by (ii) a $0.7 million net increase in base management fee, including the base management fee waiver, due to higher average total assets, (iii) a $0.6 million increase in the income incentive fee, and (iv) a $0.6 million increase in income tax provision (benefit).

Net investment income increased by $4.7 million, or 28.5%, to $21.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, as a result of the $4.2 million increase in total investment income and the $0.5 million decrease in total expenses, including base management fee waiver and income tax provision. Adjusted net investment income,(1) which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual, was $0.61 per share compared to $0.68 per share in the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, was $(0.4) million, as compared to total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, of $9.7 million for the same period in 2023.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $1,090.7 million and consisted of 85 active portfolio companies and five portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 101.5% of the related cost basis as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the debt investments of 49 portfolio companies bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $702.0 million, or 73.2%, of our debt investment portfolio on a fair value basis, and the remainder of our debt investment portfolio was comprised of fixed rate investments. As of September 30, 2024, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $12.6 million, which excludes investments in five portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 13.8% as of September 30, 2024. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of September 30, 2024, including the accretion of original issue discounts and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status and investments recorded as a secured borrowing.

Third quarter 2024 investment activity included the following new portfolio company investment:

  • Jumo Health, Inc., a developer of creative, patient-centric educational solutions that improve health literacy to accelerate clinical trial enrollment and increase participant retention. Fidus invested $6.0 million in first lien debt and $0.8 million in preferred equity.
  • Thrust Flight LLC, a provider of professional flight training services. Fidus invested $9.8 million in first lien debt, $1.1 million in common equity and made additional commitments up to $2.6 million in first lien debt.
  • InductiveHealth Informatics, LLC, a leading provider of disease and syndromic surveillance solutions for health agencies. Fidus invested $20.0 million in first lien debt and $0.4 million in preferred equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had $54.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $100.0 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we received net proceeds of $14.1 million from the equity at-the-market program (the “ATM Program”). As of September 30, 2024, we had SBA debentures outstanding of $175.0 million, $125.0 million outstanding of our 4.75% notes due January 2026 (the “January 2026 Notes”) and $125.0 million outstanding of our 3.50% notes due November 2026 (the “November 2026 Notes” and collectively with the January 2026 Notes the “Notes”). As of September 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.6%.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Dividends Totaling $0.61 Per Share Declared

On October 28, 2024, our board of directors declared a base dividend of $0.43 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.18 per share for the fourth quarter. The dividends will be payable on December 27, 2024, to stockholders of record as of December 17, 2024.

When declaring dividends, our board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated income under GAAP due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of undistributed taxable income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2024 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2024 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2024 tax year.  The final tax attributes for 2024 dividends will generally include ordinary taxable income but may also include capital gains, qualified dividends and return of capital.

Fidus has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP at least two days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2024, we invested $6.3 million in first lien debt and common equity in Estex Manufacturing Company, LLC, a branded manufacturer of sewn products used in the utility, airline / aerospace, sports, and military end markets.

On October 11, 2024, we exited our debt investment in US Fertility Enterprises, LLC. We received payment in full of $15.2 million on our subordinated debt, which included a prepayment fee.

On October 24, 2024, we exited our debt investment in Sonicwall US Holdings, Inc. We received payment of $3.3 million on our second lien debt, resulting in a realized loss of $0.1 million.

On October 25, 2024, we invested $14.8 million in first lien debt and common equity in Axis Medical Technologies LLC (dba Movemedical), a leading provider of last-mile supply chain software solutions to medical device OEMs.

Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment Income

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure.  This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses.  The management agreement with our investment advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses for such year, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years.  In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate.  As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

(1)Adjusted net investment income per share amounts are calculated as adjusted net investment income dividend by weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Due to rounding, the sum of net investment income per share and capital gains incentive fee expense (reversal) amounts may not equal the adjusted net investment income per share amount presented here.
