Insights
Reviewing the recent financial disclosures from BlackRock TCP Capital Corp., it is evident that the merger with BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation has brought about a significant impact on the firm's balance sheet. The reported net investment income of $28.3 million, or $0.46 per share, suggests a positive earnings scenario, especially given that it surpasses the regular dividend payout. This metric is critical in evaluating the company's operational effectiveness and, subsequently, the stability of future dividends.
Moreover, the stated net asset value (NAV) per share has declined from $11.90 to $11.14, which may signal to investors changes in the underlying asset values or portfolio adjustments post-merger. Investors should consider this decrease when assessing the company's performance and valuations. While a decrease in NAV can be a point of concern, it should also be contextualized within the broader scope of the merger's long-term synergistic potential.
Additionally, the proclaimed total acquisitions of approximately $607.0 million indicate aggressive investment strategies, potentially aimed at expanding and diversifying the company's income-generating assets. This can be a positive move for the company if these investments are accretive to earnings. However, investors should also weigh the associated risks of new acquisitions, particularly in a volatile economic environment.
From a credit perspective, the portfolio's content sheds light on the firm’s potential risk exposure. The fact that debt investments on non-accrual status represent 1.7% of the portfolio at fair value is an essential indicator of underlying credit risk. It reflects the proportion of the portfolio that is not generating expected interest income, which could impinge on the company's earnings potential. Investors should monitor non-accrual trends as an increase could suggest deteriorating credit quality within the portfolio.
Furthermore, the reported weighted average annual effective yield of the debt portfolio, being approximately 14.1%, is a testament to the return profile on the existing debt investments. The relatively high yield indicates a potentially higher-risk portfolio, which could align with the company's strategy of higher returns in exchange for higher risk. Nonetheless, the nature and performance of the underlying investments must be thoroughly scrutinized to determine the sustainability of these yields.
Delving into the portfolio composition provides insight into the company's strategic allocation post-merger. Notably, 91.4% in senior secured debt and 80.2% first-lien instruments suggest a conservative tilt, aiming to secure BlackRock TCP Capital's position in the capital repayment hierarchy. This is often indicative of a risk-averse investment approach, prioritizing capital preservation. However, investors should not overlook the nuances of individual instruments within these categories, as 'senior secured' and 'first-lien' are not homogenous in risk profile.
Additionally, the high proportion of floating rate instruments at 97.1% helps to hedge against interest rate risk—a pertinent strategy given the current rising interest rate environment. This structure potentially allows the company to benefit from rate hikes without severely impacting the value of their investments, a significant fact for investors relying on fixed income.

“We produced solid net investment income during the first quarter, benefiting from higher base rates and wider spreads in our predominantly floating rate portfolio. While we remain highly selective amid economic uncertainty, we are confident in our ability to prudently identify compelling investment opportunities in a core middle market environment that remains favorable for well-established direct lenders such as TCPC,” said Rajneesh Vig, BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Chairman and CEO. “Our diversified, first-lien concentrated portfolio is constructed to be resilient in this current macroeconomic environment characterized by high interest rates, relatively high inflation, and slowing consumer and corporate spending. However, we are not immune to the presence of these factors over an extended period and are seeing them impact a portion of our portfolio. During the quarter, we added two portfolio companies to non-accrual status, including one pre-existing non-accrual portfolio company from the acquired BCIC portfolio. In all, we have loans to five portfolio companies on non-accrual, representing

(1) On March 18, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced Merger with BCIC. The Merger has been accounted for as an asset acquisition of BCIC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50 ("ASC 805"), Business Combinations-Related Issues. The Company determined the fair value of the shares of the Company's common stock that were issued to former BCIC shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement plus transaction costs to be the consideration paid in connection with the Merger under ASC 805. The consideration paid to BCIC shareholders was less than the aggregate fair values of the BCIC assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase discount (the “purchase discount”). The consideration paid was allocated to the individual BCIC assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than “non-qualifying” assets and liabilities (for example, cash) and did not give rise to goodwill. As a result, the purchase discount was allocated to the cost basis of the BCIC investments acquired by the Company on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the effective time of the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, the investments were marked to their respective fair values in accordance with ASC 820 which resulted in immediate recognition of net unrealized appreciation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of the Merger. The purchase discount allocated to the BCIC debt investments acquired will amortize over the remaining life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation or depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase discount allocated to BCIC equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company may recognize a realized gain or loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.
As a supplement to the Company’s reported GAAP financial measures, we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful:
- “Adjusted net investment income” – excludes the amortization of purchase accounting discount from net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP;
- “Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss)” – excludes the unrealized appreciation resulting from the purchase discount and the corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation from the amortization of the purchase discount from the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP; and
- “Adjusted net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations” – calculates net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations based on Adjusted net investment income and Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss).
We believe that the adjustment to exclude the full effect of purchase discount accounting under ASC 805 from these financial measures is meaningful because of the potential impact on the comparability of these financial measures that we and investors use to assess our financial condition and results of operations period over period. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
