(1)

Core net investment income, as presented, excludes the impact of capital gains incentive fees and income taxes, the majority of which are excise taxes. The Company believes presenting core net investment income and the related per share amount is a useful supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance. However, core net investment income is a non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to core net investment income is presented in the table below the financial statements.                       

(2)

Total realized income is the sum of net investment income, net realized gains (losses) on investments, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency, and loss on debt extinguishment; all U.S. GAAP measures.

(3)

The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rate for our debt investments and other income producing investments, including cash and PIK interest, as well as the accretion of deferred fees. The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective cost of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors of our common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expense or any sales load that may be paid by investors.

(4)

The dollar weighted average yield on total investments takes the same yields as calculated in the footnote above, but weights them to determine the weighted average effective yield as a percentage of the Company's total investments, including non-income producing loans and equity.

 

Results of Operations

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled $26.6 million and $16.1 million, respectively, most of which was interest income from portfolio investments.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, totaled $16.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. For the same respective periods, base management fees totaled $3.9 million and $3.7 million, income incentive fees totaled $2.6 million and $0.0 million, capital gains incentive (reversal) fees totaled $0.0 million and ($1.0) million, fees and expenses related to our borrowings totaled $8.1 million and $5.5 million (including interest and amortization of deferred financing costs), administrative expenses totaled $0.5 million for both periods, income tax totaled $0.4 for both periods and other expenses totaled $0.8 for both periods.

Net investment income was $10.4 million and $6.2 million, or $0.49 and $0.32 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 21,231,979 and 19,543,117 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Core net investment income, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that excludes the capital gains incentive fee (reversal) and income tax expense accruals, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $10.8 million and $5.6 million, or $0.51 and $0.29 per share, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company's investment portfolio had a net change in unrealized depreciation of ($6.3) million and ($4.3) million, respectively, and the Company had realized losses of ($0.3) million and ($0.4) million, respectively.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations totaled $3.7 million and $1.3 million, or $0.17 and $0.07 per common share, based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 21,231,979 and 19,543,117 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, our amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement with certain bank lenders and Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Amegy Bank, as administrative agent (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Facility") provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $265.0 million on a committed basis. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Credit Facility had an accordion feature which allowed for potential future expansion of the facility size to $280.0 million. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $171.5 million and $199.2 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively.

The Company issued 2,309,521 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2023 under the At-the-Market Program ("ATM Program"), for gross proceeds of $32.6 million. The average per share offering price of shares issued under the ATM Program during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $14.10. The Advisor agreed to reimburse the Company for underwriting fees to the extent the per share price of the shares to the public, less underwriting fees, was less then net asset value per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Advisor reimbursed the Company $0.4 million, which resulted in net proceeds of $32.5 million, or $14.38 per share, excluding the impact of offering expenses.

Distributions

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we declared aggregate distributions of $0.40 and $0.34 per share, respectively ($8.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively). Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the calendar year. None of these dividends are expected to include a return of capital.
