NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcentra
Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: ABDC) (the "Company"), a provider of
debt financing solutions to middle-market companies based primarily
in the United States, today
announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2019.
Second Quarter 2019 Highlights
- Total investment income of $6.1
million
- Net investment income of $2.5
million, or $0.20 per
share
- Invested approximately $28.6
million of capital into 6 new portfolio investments,
including two new companies
- Received proceeds from repayments, loan dispositions and
amortization on investments of approximately $22.1 million
- Net asset value of $141.9
million, or $11.02 per share,
after taking into account the $0.15
special dividend paid on July 3,
2019
- Weighted average debt portfolio yield of approximately
10.7%
Suhail A. Shaikh, Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, stated, "Over the last several quarters we
have made significant progress in rotating our legacy portfolio
into our new strategy and stabilizing NAV amid a competitive
environment for direct lending. We are pleased with the higher
quality of the book today against the comparable period."
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30,
2019, total investment income was $6.1 million, a decrease of approximately
$1.1 million from the $7.3 million of total investment income for the
three months ended June 30, 2018.
This decrease was due to continued portfolio rotation of legacy
investments to investments more senior in the capital structure of
our portfolio companies, and the associated decrease in
weighted-average yields. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, interest and PIK income comprised
$5.9 million. Net investment income
for the three months ended June 30,
2019 was $2.5 million, or
$0.20 per share, as compared to
$3.5 million, or $0.25 per share, for the three months ended
June 30, 2018.
For the three months ended June 30,
2019, total net expenses (after the waiver of management
fees) were $3.6 million, a decrease
of $0.2 million or 4.3%, from the
$3.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2018. Base management
fees were $0.8 million, a decrease of
$0.2 million, or 18.8%, from the
$1.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2018. This decrease
was due to the lower amount of gross assets outstanding between the
comparable periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net
realized gain of $1.6 million and net
change in unrealized depreciation from portfolio investments of
$1.1 million. As a result, after
considering the Company's provision for taxes on unrealized gains,
the Company's net increase in net assets resulting from operations
was $2.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 were $1.5 million, an increase of $0.6 million from the comparable period. This was
largely due to an increase in professional fees and directors'
fees, both primarily relating to stockholder activist activities
and the board of director's formal review process to evaluate
strategic alternatives for the Company. These were partially offset
by a decrease in our excise tax payable, consulting fees and a
reversal of accrued incentive fees.
Portfolio and Investment Activities
As of June 30, 2019, the fair
value of the Company's investment portfolio totaled $219.2 million and consisted of 28 companies and
1 rated debt security in a CLO. The average portfolio investment
size on an amortized cost and fair market basis was $7.2 million and $7.0
million, respectively. The Company received proceeds from
repayments, loan dispositions, and amortization on investments of
approximately $22.1 million during
the three months ended June 30,
2019.
New and add-on investments totaling approximately $28.6 million during the quarter ended
June 30, 2019 included the
following:
New portfolio company investment:
- Investment of $5.0 million in the
first lien tranche and $5.0 million
in the second lien tranche of Perforce Software, Inc.;
- Investment of $7.0 million in the
first lien tranche of Digital Room Holdings, Inc.

A risk rating of the portfolio companies is available on the

*The Company's net
asset value per share as of June 30, 2019 was $11.17, excluding the
impact of the $0.15 per share special distribution paid to
stockholders of record as of June 28, 2019. As a supplement to
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial
measures, the Company has provided this non-GAAP financial measure.
The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful
as it highlights the NAV per common share for the quarter excluding
the impact of the special distribution that was paid and shows the
Company's pro forma NAV after payment of regular
distributions.
