Announces Quarterly Distribution of $0.69 Per Share in the Fourth Quarter of 2023, Marking a $0.19 per Share Increase in the Total Distribution for the Full Year 2023, a 7.4% Increase as Compared to the Full Year 2022
NEW YORK, Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) (the “Company” or “Portman Ridge”) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Total investment income for the third quarter of 2023 was $18.6 million, a decrease of $0.4 million as compared to $19.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $1.0 million as compared to $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2023.
- Core investment income1, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the third quarter of 2023 was $18.3 million, an increase of $0.7 million as compared to $17.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $0.9 million as compared to $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2023.
- Net investment income ("NII") for the third quarter of 2023 was $7.2 million ($0.75 per share), a decrease of $1.2 million as compared to $8.4 million ($0.87 per share) for the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $0.7 million as compared to $7.9 million ($0.83 per share) for the second quarter of 2023.
- Total shares repurchased in open market transactions under the Renewed Stock Repurchase Program during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were 60,559 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $1.2 million.
Subsequent Events
- Declared stockholder distribution of $0.69 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023, payable on November 30, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2023. This is a $0.02 per share distribution increase as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Including the distribution subsequent to the announcement of full year 2022 earnings results, total stockholder distributions for 2023 amount to $2.75 per share.
_______________
1 Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.
Management Commentary
Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “I am pleased to announce another solid quarter of financial performance for Portman Ridge, as total investment income, net investment income and core investment income increased substantially compared to the same nine month period of the prior year, despite operating in a challenging market environment. We believe that our stock remains undervalued and thus, during the quarter we continued to repurchase shares for an aggregate of $1.2 million through the share repurchase program, positively affecting the company’s net asset value per share. As a result of our strong financial performance during the quarter, the board of directors was able to approve a dividend of $0.69 per share, an increase of $0.02 per share as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. As we enter the final quarter of the year, we continue our strategy of being highly selective in our investment and capital deployment process and believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of new investment opportunities to utilize our available cash and borrowings capacity.”
Selected Financial Highlights
- Total investments at fair value as of September 30, 2023 was $500.4 million; when excluding CLO funds, Joint Ventures, and short-term investments, these investments are spread across 26 different industries and 101 different entities with an average par balance per entity of approximately $3.3 million.
- Weighted average contractual interest rate on our interest earning Debt Securities Portfolio as of September 30, 2023 was approximately 12.3%.
- Non-accruals on debt investments, as of September 30, 2023, were eight debt investments representing 1.6% and 3.6% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively.
- Net asset value (“NAV”) for the third quarter of 2023 was $214.8 million ($22.65 per share), an increase of $0.11 per share as compared to $215.0 million ($22.54 per share) for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in NAV per share, despite total NAV decreasing slightly, was predominately driven by the repurchase of 60,559 shares during the third quarter.
- Par value of outstanding borrowings, as of September 30, 2023, was $321.5 million with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 166%. On a net basis, leverage as of September 30, 2023 was 1.34x2 compared to net leverage of 1.39x3 as of June 30, 2023.
_______________
2 Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $33.7 million and $35.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $321.5 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding at a current weighted average interest rate of 6.9%, of which $108.0 million par value had a fixed rate and $213.5 million par value had a floating rate. This balance was comprised of $74.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, $139.5 million of 2018-2 Secured Notes due 2029, and $108.0 million of 4.875% Notes due 2026.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash of $14.9 million and restricted cash of $18.8 million. This compares to unrestricted cash of $20.3 million and restricted cash of $15.2 million as of June 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $41 million of available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, and no remaining borrowing capacity under the 2018-2 Secured Notes.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR, SOFR and prime rates.
As of September 30, 2023, approximately 90.5% of our Debt Securities Portfolio at par value were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as LIBOR, SOFR or the prime rate. 77.5% of these floating rate loans contain floors ranging between 0.50% and 2.50%. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments.
In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the portion of debt associated with the 4.875% Notes Due 2026 would remain the same, given that this debt is at a fixed rate, while the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Generally, the Company would expect that an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).
