"The fourth quarter of 2012 capped an excellent year for
American Capital," said Malon
Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "For the
year, NOI totaled $397 million,
American Capital Asset Management appreciated $329 million, previously depreciated assets
recovered approximately $325 million
of net value, and the net value of our remaining portfolio of
private finance companies grew by approximately $75 million, resulting in $1.1 billion in net earnings. These
earnings were 14% higher than our prior best in 2010. Our NAV
grew $3.97 per share to $17.84 per share as of December 31, 2012, increasing an impressive 29%
for the year. We also originated $719
million of new investments, which we believe will generate
attractive returns for our shareholders. Additionally, our
highly accretive stock repurchase program continues to be an
important enhancement to shareholder value."
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended
December 31, 2012, net unrealized appreciation, before income
taxes, totaled $61 million. The
primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
- $50 million net unrealized
appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital,
primarily due to a strengthening of the Euro and an increase in the
NAV of European Capital.
- The Company's equity investment in European Capital was valued
at $700 million as of
December 31, 2012, or 75% of NAV, compared to $651 million as of September 30, 2012, or 75% of NAV;
- $5 million net unrealized
appreciation from American Capital's structured products
investments, generally as a result of improved projected cash
flows; and
- $2 million net unrealized
appreciation from American Capital's private finance
portfolio.
"In 2012, we experienced $1.5
billion of liquidity in our portfolio at excellent
valuations which coupled with our cash flows from operations
allowed us to continue to execute on our balance sheet management
strategies," said John Erickson,
Chief Financial Officer. "With net debt of $304 million compared to equity of $5,429 million, our balance sheet is
outstanding. In fact, our net debt is now about the amount of
the liquidity we generate on average in a quarter. Looking
forward to 2013, we believe that our liquidity can be invested in
new assets at attractive returns and in repurchasing our
shares. We remain laser focused on maximizing shareholder
value."
PORTFOLIO REALIZATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
In the fourth
quarter of 2012, $634 million of cash
proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio
investments. American Capital made $527 million in new committed investments during
the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on
American Capital's debt investments as of December 31, 2012
was 11.4%, 30 basis points higher than the September 30, 2012
rate of 11.1% and 70 basis points higher than the December 31,
2011 rate of 10.7%. As of December 31, 2012, loans with
a fair value of $177 million were on
non-accrual, representing 9.0% of total loans at fair value,
compared to $252 million fair value
of non-accrual loans, or 12.5% of total loans at fair value as of
September 30, 2012. The
$75 million decrease in the fair
value of loans on non-accrual was generally driven by loans removed
from non-accrual status as a result of improved company
performance.
"We are extremely pleased with the two One Stop
Buyouts® and six new Sponsor Finance investments we
completed during the fourth quarter of 2012," said Darin Winn, Senior Vice President and Senior
Managing Director. "Collectively, we committed more than a
half a billion dollars in the fourth quarter of 2012. We
believe that our two One Stop Buyouts® are synergistic
with our existing Health Care Products and Services segment and
energy investments and we will continue to seek One Stop
Buyouts® in 2013."
STOCK REPURCHASE AND DIVIDEND PROGRAM
During the third
quarter of 2011, American Capital's Board of Directors adopted a
program that may provide for repurchases of shares or dividend
payments through December 31,
2013. Under the program, American Capital will consider
quarterly setting an amount to be utilized for stock repurchases or
dividends. Generally, the amount may be utilized for
repurchases if the price of American Capital's common stock
represents a discount to the NAV of its shares, and the amount may
be utilized for the payment of cash dividends if the price of
American Capital's common stock represents a premium to the NAV of
its shares.
In determining the quarterly amount for repurchases or
dividends, the Company's Board will be guided by the Company's
cumulative net cash provided by operating activities in the prior
quarter and since the beginning of 2012, cumulative repurchases or
dividends, cash on hand, debt service considerations, investment
plans, forecasts of financial liquidity and economic conditions,
operational issues and the then current trading price of American
Capital stock.
The repurchase and dividend program may be suspended, terminated
or modified at any time for any reason. The program does not
obligate American Capital to acquire any specific number of shares,
and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule
10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing,
price and volume of stock repurchases. During the fourth
quarter of 2012, American Capital made open market purchases of 8.8
million shares, or $103 million, of
American Capital common stock at an average price of $11.72 per share. Since the inception of
the program, American Capital has made open market purchases of
52.4 million shares, or $495 million,
of American Capital common stock at an average price of
$9.46 per share.
