Portfolio Review
The Company had debt and equity investments in 70 portfolio companies, with a total fair value of $412.9 million, as of December 31, 2016 as compared to debt and equity investments in 62 portfolio companies, with a total fair value of $376.7 million, as of September 30, 2016. The Company’s portfolio consists primarily of first lien loans, representing 79.2% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2016 and 77.7% of the portfolio as of September 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average contractual and effective yield on the Company’s investments was 9.5% and 9.6%, respectively, as compared to the weighted average contractual and effective yield of 9.7% and 9.7%, respectively, as of September 30, 2016. Portfolio yield is calculated only on the portion of the portfolio that has a contractual coupon and therefore does not account for dividends on equity investments (other than preferred equity).
Financial Review
Results of Operations: Fourth Quarter 2016
Net investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 totaled $5.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to $5.6 million, or $0.36 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Adjusted Net Investment Income was $5.8 million, or $0.35 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.37 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company believes that Adjusted Net Investment Income is a consistent measure of the Company’s earnings – see Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income discussion below. Total investment income increased by $0.1 million during the quarter. Interest income increased during the quarter, primarily as a result in the increase in the size of the Company’s investment portfolio as the Company put more of the proceeds from the third quarter equity capital raise to work during the fourth quarter. This increase in interest income was offset by a decline in dividend income on the Company’s LLC investments during the quarter. Total expenses, net of incentive fee waiver, increased by $0.3 million during the quarter, primarily driven by increases in interest expense and base management fees given the growth of the portfolio as compared to the prior quarter. The Company’s manager, Monroe Capital BDC Advisors, LLC, provided a waiver of $0.3 million in part one incentive fees (incentive fees based on net investment income) during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
2
Net gain (loss) on investments and secured borrowings was $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to ($2.0) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The net gain on investments and secured borrowings during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was primarily the result of net unrealized mark-to-market gains on investments in the portfolio during the quarter.
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $7.5 million, or $0.45 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.23 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily the result of net unrealized mark-to-market gains on investments during the quarter as net investment income declined only slightly as compared to the prior quarter. The Company’s NAV increased on a per share basis to $14.52 per share at December 31, 2016 from $14.42 per share at September 30, 2016. This increase in NAV per share was primarily driven by net mark-to-market gains on investments in the quarter.
Results of Operations: Full Year 2016
Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $22.5 million, or $1.55 per share, compared to $18.7 million, or $1.60 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2015. Adjusted Net Investment Income was $23.4 million, or $1.61 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $18.8 million, or $1.61 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2015. Total investment income increased by $8.1 million during the year, primarily driven by increases in interest income as a result of a larger average portfolio size during 2016 and increases in dividend income on the Company’s LLC investments. Total expenses, net of incentive fee waiver, increased by $4.4 million during the year. This increase was primarily driven by a larger average portfolio, driving increases in interest expense, base management fees and incentive fees.
Net gain (loss) on investments and secured borrowings was $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to ($0.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The net gain on investments and secured borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily the result of net unrealized mark-to-market gains on investments in the portfolio during the year.
3
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $24.4 million, or $1.68 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $17.9 million, or $1.53 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is primarily the result of increases in net investment income during the year and net unrealized mark-to-market gains on investments in the portfolio during the year. The Company’s NAV increased to $14.52 per share at December 31, 2015 from $14.19 per share at December 31, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2016, the Company had $6.0 million in cash, $2.4 million in restricted cash at Monroe Capital Corporation SBIC LP (“MRCC SBIC,” the Company’s wholly-owned SBIC subsidiary), $129.0 million of total debt outstanding on its revolving credit facility and $51.5 million in outstanding Small Business Administration (“SBA”) debentures. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $31.0 million available for additional borrowings on its revolving credit facility and $63.5 million in available SBA-guaranteed debentures.
On February 22, 2017, the Company closed a $40.0 million upsize to its revolving credit facility, from $160.0 million to $200.0 million in revolving commitments, in accordance with the facility’s accordion feature.
SBIC Subsidiary
As of December 31, 2016, MRCC SBIC had $41.0 million in leveragable capital, $2.4 million in cash and $97.1 million in investments at fair value. Additionally, MRCC SBIC had $51.5 million in SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding.
In order for MRCC SBIC to gain access to the entirety of the $63.5 million in remaining additional SBA-guaranteed debentures, the Company would be required to contribute to MRCC SBIC an additional $16.5 million in leveragable capital. The SBA-guaranteed debentures are long-term, fixed rate financing with the advantage of being excluded from the Company’s 200% asset coverage test under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income
On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted Net Investment Income (including on a per share basis) which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted Net Investment Income represents net investment income, excluding the net capital gains incentive fee and excise taxes. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The management agreement with the Company’s advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized capital losses for such year. Management believes that Adjusted Net Investment Income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee as net investment income does not include gains associated with the capital gains incentive fee.

Adjusted Net Investment Income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Investment Income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
