Monroe Capital Corporation Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
CHICAGO, May 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monroe Capital Corporation (Nasdaq:MRCC) ("Monroe") today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms "Monroe," "we," "us," "our," and "Company" refer to Monroe Capital Corporation.
First Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights
- Net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $3.3 million, or $0.57 per share
- Net investment income of $1.5 million, or $0.26 per share
- Adjusted net investment income(1) of $1.7 million, or $0.29 per share
- Net asset value (NAV) of $85.2 million, or $14.78 per share
- Paid quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share on March 28, 2013
(1) Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment Income:
On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding our net unrealized capital gains incentive fee. The management agreement with our 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. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net unrealized capital gains incentive fee. We note that such amount is excluded from the adjusted net investment income amount presented below. The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2013:
| For the three months ended March 31, 2013 | |||
Amount | Per Share Amounts | ||
| (in thousands, except per share data) | |||
| Net investment income | $ 1,503 | $ 0.26 | |
| Net unrealized capital gains incentive fee | 169 | $ 0.03 | |
| Adjusted net investment income | 1,673 | $ 0.29 | |
Portfolio Review
As of March 31, 2013, we had debt and equity investments in 28 portfolio companies, with a total fair value of $134.3 million. As of March 31, 2013, the weighted average contractual yield on our debt investments was 9.8% and the effective yield was 11.2%.
Financial Review
Total investment income was $3.7 million and total expenses were $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net investment income was $1.5 million, or $0.26 per share, for the same period. Adjusted net investment income was $1.7 million, or $0.29 per share. Of the $0.4 million of accrued incentive fees recognized in the quarter, approximately $0.2 million, or approximately $0.03 per share, was related to net unrealized capital gains in the portfolio. A capital gains incentive fee is only payable to our investment advisor in the event of a realization of a gain in excess of realized and unrealized capital losses for the calendar year.
Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments and secured borrowings was $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The appreciation on our investments was attributable to continued operating performance improvement in the portfolio and improved market conditions.
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, or $0.57 per share. Our NAV per share increased to $14.78 per share at March 31, 2013 from $14.54 per share as of December 31, 2012. This increase is largely due to the large net change in unrealized appreciation on investments and secured borrowings during the period, offset by the dividend paid in excess of our net investment income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2013, we had $6.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $47.0 million of total debt outstanding on our revolving credit line. As of March 31, 2013, we had $18.0 million currently available for additional borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the total facility to $100.0 million.
Partial Loan Sales
Certain partial loan sales do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing ("ASC 860") because these sales do not meet the definition of a "participating interest," as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain as an investment on the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the portion sold is recorded as a secured borrowing in the liabilities section of the statements of assets and liabilities.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company sold a portion of three unitranche loan assets which did not meet the definition of a "participating interest" in order for sale treatment to be allowed, and as a result, the Company recognized secured borrowings of $9.7 million in fair value as of March 31, 2013. Fair value of the unitranche loans that are associated with these secured borrowings was $24.6 million as of March 31, 2013. There were no such secured borrowings in prior periods.
