Insights

GBDC reported solid Q4 2024 results with $0.45 net investment income per share and maintained its regular quarterly dividend at $0.39 plus a $0.04 supplemental distribution. The investment portfolio grew to $8.2 billion, with 86.3% in one-stop loans. Portfolio quality remains strong with 87.1% of investments rated 4 or 5. Notable developments include a new $2.2 billion debt securitization and increased credit facility capacity to $1.9 billion. The slight NAV decline to $15.19 from $15.32 was primarily due to realized losses from portfolio restructurings, though these were partially offset by foreign currency gains.

The portfolio maintains healthy credit metrics with minimal distress - only 1.3% of investments rated as underperforming (category 2) and none in the lowest risk category. The increase in category 3 loans to 11.6% from 10.1% bears monitoring but remains manageable. The company's leverage ratio increased slightly to 1.16x, still within target range. The recent debt refinancing through the $2.2 billion securitization should help optimize the capital structure and provide additional flexibility for growth while maintaining conservative risk parameters.

Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.39 Per Share, and a Fiscal Year 2024 Fourth Quarter Supplemental Distribution of $0.04 Per Share

On September 16, 2019 and June 3, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation (“GCIC”) and Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc. (“GBDC 3”), respectively. Each acquisition was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the consideration paid to GCIC and GBDC 3’s stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the assets acquired, the premium paid by the Company was allocated to the cost of the GCIC and GBDC 3 investments acquired by the Company pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately following each acquisition, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities acquired from GCIC and GBDC 3 will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the GCIC and GBDC 3 equity securities acquired and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the GCIC and GBDC 3 equity securities acquired.

As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful for the reasons described below:

  • “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” – excludes the amortization of the purchase premium from net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
  • “Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee” - Adjusted Net Investment Income excluding the accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee required under GAAP;
  • “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)” and “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share” – excludes the unrealized loss resulting from the purchase premium write-down and the corresponding reversal of the unrealized loss from the amortization of the premium from the determination of realized and unrealized gain/(loss) in accordance with GAAP.
  • “Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share” – calculates net income and earnings per share based on Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss).

The Company believes that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium write down in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as it is a non-cash expense/loss resulting from the acquisitions of GCIC and GBDC 3 and is one method the Company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company believes excluding the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP is useful as a portion of such accrual is not contractually payable under the terms of the Company’s investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors.

Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Net investment income per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $0.45 as compared to $0.46 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Excluding $0.02 per share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC/GBDC 3 acquisitions, Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share1 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $0.47. This compares to Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share1 of $0.48 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 when excluding $0.02 per share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC/GBDC 3 acquisitions and no accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP.
  • Net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $(0.09). Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 was $(0.11) when excluding $0.02 per share net reversal of unrealized depreciation and realized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase premium. The Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to net realized losses recognized on the restructuring of four portfolio companies that were partially offset by net realized and unrealized gains recognized on the translation of foreign currency transactions. For additional analysis, please refer to the Quarter Ended 9.30.2024 Earnings Presentation available on the Investor Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations. The Earnings Presentation was also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K. These results compare to net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) per share of $(0.41) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $(0.17) when excluding $0.02 per share net reversal of unrealized depreciation and realized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase premium and $0.26 per share reversal of unrealized loss resulting from the one-time write-down of the purchase premium allocated to the investments acquired from Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc. (“GBDC 3”).
  • Earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $0.36 as compared to $0.05 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted Earnings Per Share1 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $0.36 as compared to $0.31 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The remaining special distribution is payable on December 13, 2024 to stockholders of record as of November 29, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are derived from the Company’s debt securitizations (also known as collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs), unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities and cash flow from operations. The Company’s primary uses of funds from operations include investments in portfolio companies and payment of fees and other expenses that the Company incurs. The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its debt securitizations, unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities, proceeds from its investment portfolio and proceeds from offerings of its securities and its dividend reinvestment plan to finance its investment objectives.

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $131.2 million, restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies of $228.4 million, which included $136.3 million of restricted cash retained for partial repayments on the notes of certain of our debt securitizations that are past their reinvestment period term, and $4,624.8 million of debt outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $865.9 million of remaining availability, in the aggregate, on our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan and approximately $113.9 million of availability on our revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, we had $200.0 million of remaining commitments and availability on our unsecured line of credit with GC Advisors.

On August 6, 2024, we amended our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitments outstanding to $1.8 billion from $1.5 billion and extend the maturity date to August 6, 2029 from March 17, 2028.

On November 15, 2024, we entered into an agreement to increase the aggregate commitments outstanding under our credit facility with JPMorgan to $1.9 billion from $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2024.

On November 18, 2024, GBDC completed a $2.2 billion term debt securitization (the “2024 Debt Securitization”). In connection with the 2024 Debt Securitization closing, GBDC fully redeemed each of its (1) $602 million term debt securitization (the “2018 Debt Securitization”), (2) $908 million term debt securitization (the “GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization”) and (3) $399 million term debt securitization assumed from GBDC 3 (the “GBDC 3 2021 Debt Securitization”). In addition, on November 15, 2024, we issued a notice of redemption to redeem the $387 million term debt securitization assumed from GBDC 3 (the “GBDC 3 2022-2 Debt Securitization”), which is expected to occur on December 16, 2024.

On November 19, 2024, all amounts outstanding under the credit facility with Deutsche Bank we assumed from GBDC 3 were repaid, following which the agreements governing our credit facility with Deutsche Bank were terminated.

The Company estimates that our GAAP debt-to-equity ratio increased to 1.16x as of September 30, 2024 and our GAAP debt-to-equity ratio, net3 increased to 1.12x as of September 30, 2024.

_________________________

3 GAAP debt to equity, net is calculated as (1) total debt reduced by available cash, cash equivalents, and foreign currencies, divided by (2) total net assets.

Portfolio and Asset Quality

GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of the Company’s investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance ratings:

 

 

 

Internal Performance Ratings

Rating

 

Definition

5

 

Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.

4

 

Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.

3

 

Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.

2

 

Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).

1

 

Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. For additional analysis on the Company's internal performance ratings as of September 30, 2024, please refer to the Quarter Ended 9.30.2024 Earnings Presentation available on Investors Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.
