RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Set forth below are the results of operations during the three months and years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $28.9 million and $23.1 million, respectively, and was attributable to $22.2 million and $13.1 million from first lien secured debt, $3.3 million and $4.4 million from second lien secured debt and $3.4 million and $5.6 million from subordinated debt and preferred and common equity, respectively.

Investment income for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $105.0 million and $81.6 million, respectively, and was attributable to $74.4 million and $47.0 million from first lien secured debt, $17.0 million and $20.2 million from second lien secured debt and $13.6 million and $14.4 million from subordinated debt and preferred and common equity, respectively. The increase in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in LIBOR and SOFR base rates and an increase in the size of our interest bearing portfolio.

Expenses

Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $19.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Base management fee totaled $4.9 million and $4.6 million, incentive fee totaled zero and $0.6 million, debt related interest and other financing costs totaled $13.7 million (including one-time costs of $5.1 million associated with the Credit Facility amendment) and $5.7 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.0 million and $0.9 million and provision for taxes totaled $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the same periods.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income totaled $9.2 million, or $0.14 per share, and $11.3 million, or $0.17 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net investment income totaled $43.9 million, or $0.66 per share, and $36.5 million, or $0.54 per share, for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net investment income per share compared to the prior year was primarily due to an increase in investment income partially offset by an increase in expenses.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

Net realized gains (losses) on sales and repayments of investments totaled ($38.7) million and $5.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net realized gain (loss) on sales and repayments of investments totaled $34.8 million and $30.0 million, respectively for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The change in realized gains/losses was primarily due to changes in market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized, primarily due to including the realized appreciation of PT Network Intermediate Holdings, LLC in the second quarter of 2022, and the fluctuations in the market and in the economy.

Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments and Credit Facilities

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we reported a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of ($11.0) million and $7.6 million, respectively.

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on our investments for the year ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our Credit Facilities had a net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation of $1.7 million and ($0.7) million, respectively.

The net change in unrealized depreciation for the year ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.

Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled ($30.2) million, or ($0.45) per share, and $25.1 million, or $0.37 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The decrease in net assets from operations for the year ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily due to depreciation of the portfolio primarily driven by changes in market conditions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of interest expense, fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.

The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment and amendment costs on the Credit Facility, amortized upfront fees on SBA debentures and debt retirement and issuance costs, was 4.8% and 3.5%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had $114.1 million and $118.5 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had $385.9 million and $316.5 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 3.5% and 2.4%, respectively, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitment, as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $52.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to tallow us to operate our business.

Our operating activities used cash of $19.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, and our financing activities provided cash of $52.0 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from the issuance of our 2026-2 Notes and net repayments under our Credit Facility and the repayment of the SBA debentures.

Our operating activities provided cash of $7.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2021, and our financing activities used cash of $(13.4) million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily for net borrowings under our Credit Facility and the repayment of the SBA debentures.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On February 9, 2022, we announced a share repurchase program which allows us to repurchase up to $25 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below our net asset value as reported in our then most recently published consolidated financial statements.

During the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we declared distributions of $0.555 and $0.480 per share, for total distributions of $36.6 million and $32.2 million, respectively. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, stockholders will be notified of the portion of those distributions deemed to be a tax return of capital.
