Gladstone Capital Corporation Reports Financial Results for the
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012
| Net Investment Income for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, was $4.5 million and $19.0 million, or $0.22 and $0.91 per share, respectively. |
| Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting From Operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, was $5.5 million and ($8.0) million, or $0.26 and ($0.38) per share, respectively. |
McLean, VA, November 12, 2012: Gladstone Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: GLAD) (the Company) today announced earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. The Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 will be filed tomorrow with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All per share references are per basic and diluted weighted average common share outstanding, unless noted otherwise.
Net Investment Income for the Quarter: Net Investment Income for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $4.5 million, or $0.22 per share, and $4.8 million, or $0.23 per share, respectively, a decrease in Net Investment Income of 5.7%. The decrease in Net Investment Income was primarily due to the Companys payment of $0.7 million in dividends on its 7.125% Series 2016 Term Preferred Stock (Term Preferred Stock) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to no dividend expense in the prior year quarter, as no Term Preferred Stock was outstanding. The increase in dividend expense was partially offset by an increase in other income from investments due to increased exit fees during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the prior year quarter.
Net Investment Income for the Fiscal Year: Net Investment Income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $19.0 million, or $0.91 per share, and $18.4 million, or $0.88 per share, respectively, an increase in Net Investment Income of 3.4%. Net Investment Income increased primarily due to a combined $5.1 million increase in interest and other income from investments for the year ended September 30, 2012, offset partially by increased interest and dividend expense of $4.2 million compared to the prior year. Interest income on investments increased $3.2 million, or 9.7%, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average principal balance of the Companys interest-bearing investments of $35.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2012, compared to the prior year. Other income from investments increased by $2.1 million from 2011, due primarily to an increase in success fees earned on early payoffs.
Partially offsetting the increase in interest and other income from investments was the payment of $2.5 million in dividends on the Companys Term Preferred Stock and the increase in interest expense of $1.7 million primarily due to an increase in weighted average borrowings outstanding of $23.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2012 over the prior year.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the Quarter: Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $5.5 million, or $0.26 per share, and ($0.5) million, or ($0.02) per share, respectively. In addition to the Net Investment Income described above, the Company had a net realized and unrealized gain of $0.9 million on its investments and borrowings during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net realized and unrealized loss of $5.4 million in the prior year quarter.
Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for Fiscal Year: Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $8.0
-1-
million, or $0.38 per share, and $21.1 million, or $1.00 per share, respectively. In addition to the Net Investment Income described above, the Company had a net realized and unrealized loss of $27.1 million on its investments and borrowings during the year ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net realized and unrealized loss of $39.5 million in the prior year. These net losses were driven by unrealized depreciation on several proprietary investments, primarily due to a decline in those portfolio companies financial and operational performance. Most significantly, in the year ended September 30, 2012, Sunshine Media Holdings experienced $7.8 million of unrealized depreciation.
Investment Portfolio Fair Value: As of September 30, 2012, the entire portfolio was fair valued at $274.0 million, or 75.1% of cost, as compared to $302.9 million, or 79.1% of cost as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of 9.6%. The aggregate investment portfolio depreciated during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to net depreciation on certain proprietary investments due to declines in portfolio company financial and operational performance.
Net Asset Value: Net asset value was $8.98 per share outstanding at September 30, 2012, as compared to $10.16 per share outstanding at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 11.6% year over year.
Asset Characteristics: At September 30, 2012, the Company had investments in 50 portfolio companies. These investments at fair value were comprised of 96.7% in debt securities and 3.3% in equity securities. 93.4% of these debt securities, based on cost, had variable interest rates, of which 88.4% had a LIBOR floor or equivalent. Additionally, syndicated investments comprised 28.5% of the Companys investment portfolio at fair value as of September 30, 2012.
Investment Yield: The weighted average yield on the Companys interest-bearing investments decreased slightly year over year from 11.1% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, to 10.9% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was due primarily to the early payoffs of several proprietary investments and also the restructuring of certain loans into lower interest rate loans.
Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the following significant events occurred:
| Investment Activity: The Company invested $2.6 million in six existing portfolio companies, through revolver draws or additional equity. |
| Principal Repayments: The Company received aggregate repayments of $27.4 million, which includes various scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments. Of the $27.4 million, $24.3 million was from the early payoffs at par of three portfolio companies. Related to these early payoffs, the Company received $1.2 million in exit fees. |
| Investment Exits: The Company sold its investments of a combined principal amount of $5.0 million in BERTL and USHC, which resulted in realized losses of $5.0 million. Both of these portfolio companies were on non-accrual status at the time of sale. |
| Recurring Distributions: The Company paid monthly cash distributions to stockholders of $0.07 per common share for each of July, August and September 2012. The Company also made Term Preferred Stock cash distributions of $0.1484375 per preferred share in each of July, August and September 2012. |
Comments from the Companys President, Chip Stelljes: We had a mixed year in 2012. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, we were able to grow net investment income by 3.4% over the prior year and by 7.2% over the last 2 years, raise capital through a term preferred stock offering, extend our line of credit for another three years, and keep our interest bearing portfolio at yields
-2-
around 11%. Nevertheless, over the year, we had more payoffs than originations resulting in a net decrease in the size of our portfolio, we continued to see our portfolios value decrease and we saw an increase in the amount of non-accrual investments. However, our fourth quarter saw increased portfolio values and decreased non-accruals and we believe these positive trends will carry into the next fiscal year. We are excited about our pipeline for the future so that we can continue to fund new, conservative deals that will deliver strong financial performance and preserve stockholder capital.
Subsequent Events: After September 30, 2012, the following events occurred:
| Investment Activity: Subsequent to September 30, 2012, the Company extended an aggregate amount of approximately $0.7 million to three existing portfolio companies in revolver draws and invested a combined $5.5 million in two new portfolio companies. |
| Principal Repayments: Subsequent to September 30, 2012, the Companys investments in Mood Media Corporation, HGI Holding, Inc., Wall Street Systems Holdings, Inc. and Blue Coat Systems, Inc. all paid off early at par for a combined aggregate total of $21.1 million in principal. Additionally, we received an aggregate of $1.7 million in scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments from 14 different portfolio companies. |
