Insights

The declared Q4 2024 distribution of $0.47 per share reflects Hercules Capital's robust financial position in the Business Development Company (BDC) sector. The distribution structure, split between a $0.40 base and $0.07 supplemental component, demonstrates a balanced approach to shareholder returns.

The base distribution represents the stable, recurring portion of earnings, while the supplemental component indicates excess earnings generation - a positive signal of the company's lending portfolio performance. The 79.97% Qualified Interest Income designation is particularly advantageous for international investors, as it may reduce withholding tax obligations under IRC Section 871(k).

The variable distribution policy targeting 90-100% of taxable income distribution is noteworthy for several reasons:

  • It provides transparency in the company's distribution mechanism
  • Allows flexibility to manage earnings spillover strategically
  • Enables efficient tax planning for both the company and shareholders

As the largest specialty finance provider to venture-backed companies, HTGC's ability to maintain this distribution level suggests strong underlying portfolio performance and effective risk management in their lending operations. The March 5 payment date and February 26 record date provide adequate time for investors to position themselves for this distribution.

The Total Cash Distribution of $0.47 per Share for the Fourth Quarter 2024 is Comprised of a $0.40 per Share Base Distribution and a $0.07 per Share Supplemental Distribution

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hercules Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HTGC) (“Hercules” or the “Company”), the largest and leading specialty finance provider to innovative, venture, growth and established stage companies backed by some of the leading and top-tier venture capital and select private equity firms, is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter 2024 total cash distribution of $0.47 per share. The following shows the key dates of the fourth quarter 2024 distribution payment:

Record Date

February 26, 2025

Payment Date

March 5, 2025

Hercules' Board of Directors maintains a variable distribution policy with the objective of distributing four quarterly distributions in an amount that approximates 90% to 100% of the Company’s taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year. In addition, during the year, the Company’s Board of Directors may choose to pay additional supplemental distributions, so that the Company may distribute approximately all its annual taxable income in the year it was earned, or it can elect to maintain the option to spill over the excess taxable income into the coming year for future distribution payments.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company's distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company's fiscal year based upon its taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of its distributions for a full year. Of the distributions declared during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, 100% were distributions derived from the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. There can be no certainty to stockholders that this determination is representative of the tax attributes of the Company’s 2025 full year distributions to stockholders.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 871(k), certain funds generate “Qualified Interest Income” (QII) that may be exempt for U.S. withholding tax on foreign accounts. A regulated investment company (“RIC”) is permitted to designate distributions of QII as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation.

The percentage of QII for distributions declared for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024 on Hercules’ common stock is 79.97%.
