BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American
Capital, Ltd. ("ACAS" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ACAS) announced
net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $59
million, or $0.17 per diluted
share. Net earnings (loss) less appreciation and
(depreciation) ("Net Realized Loss") for the quarter was
$(9) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share and net earnings for
the quarter were $149 million, or
$0.43 per diluted share.
Q3 2010 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
- $59 million NOI
- 84% increase over Q3 2009
- $158 million net unrealized
appreciation of investments
- $(54) million net realized loss
on portfolio investments
- $149 million net earnings
- $72 million increase over Q3
2009
- $305 million of cash proceeds
from realizations
- $407 million of debt repaid
- Including $200 million of secured
debt due 2013
- $9.59 net asset value ("NAV") per
share
- $0.44 per share, or 5% increase
over Q2 2010
"Our NAV per share grew by $0.44
for the quarter and $1.79 over the
last year to $9.59," said
Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "That is a 19% annualized return on equity
for the quarter and 27% total return since the lowpoint of our
valuation in Q2 of 2009. We believe the economy is continuing
to recover, which should allow our portfolio to improve and for
American Capital to experience continued growth in our book value.
We invested $63 million during
the quarter, including closing three accretive add-on acquisitions
for portfolio companies. There are a considerable number of
mezzanine and second-lien investment opportunities that we expect
will translate into investments over the next year, as the volume
of mergers and acquisitions increases."
NET OPERATING INCOME
NOI increased to $59 million, or
$0.17 per diluted share, for the
quarter ended September 30, 2010,
compared to $32 million, or
$0.11 per diluted share, for the
comparable quarter in 2009.
NET REALIZED LOSS
Net Realized Loss improved to $(9)
million, or $(0.03) per
diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $(34) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, for the comparable
quarter in 2009.
NET EARNINGS
Net earnings improved to $149
million, or $0.43 per diluted
share, for the quarter ended September 30,
2010, compared to $77 million,
or $0.27 per diluted share, for the
comparable quarter in 2009.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended September 30,
2010, net unrealized appreciation of investments totaled
$158 million. The primary
components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
- $44 million of appreciation in
American Capital's investment in European Capital, excluding any
impact of foreign currency translation on European Capital's cost
basis or cumulative unrealized depreciation, primarily due to a
decrease to the implied discount to NAV;
- The equity investment in European Capital is valued at
$0.5 billion compared to European
Capital's NAV of approximately $0.8
billion.
- $10 million of net depreciation
of American Capital's private finance portfolio;
- $53 million of net appreciation
from foreign currency translation of foreign currency denominated
investments, including $47 million
related to the translation of European Capital's cost basis and
cumulative unrealized depreciation; and
- $44 million of reversals of prior
unrealized depreciation associated with net realized losses on
portfolio investments.
As of September 30, 2010, NAV per
share was $9.59, a 5%, or
$0.44 per share, increase from the
June 30, 2010 NAV per share of
$9.15.
"Our balance sheet continues to strengthen," said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer.
"Our asset coverage ratio improved to 230% and we repaid
$407 million of debt during the
quarter, including $200 million of
secured debt maturing in 2013. We expect to repay an
additional $107 million of this debt
in the fourth quarter, which will cause the interest rate to drop
to the lowest rate available under the facility. We continue
to experience strong liquidity in the portfolio at attractive
valuations, which we believe will allow us to invest in new
opportunities as well as continuing to make accretive acquisitions
for our portfolio companies."
PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND PERFORMANCE
In the third quarter of 2010, $305
million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of
portfolio investments and exits. The proceeds were 2.9% less
than the prior quarter's valuations of the realized investments.
The Company made $63 million in
new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted
average effective interest rate on the Company's private finance
debt investments as of September 30,
2010 was 10.0%, which was 30 basis points lower than the
June 30, 2010 rate and 10 basis
points higher than the December 31,
2009 rate.
As of September 30, 2010, loans
with a fair value of $265 million
were on non-accrual, representing 7.8% of total loans at fair
value, compared to $308 million fair
value of non-accrual loans, representing 8.5% of total loans at
fair value as of June 30, 2010.
