BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results Including Net Investment Income of $0.34 Per Share; Declares Second Quarter 2022 Dividend of $0.30 Per Share; 10 Years of Consistent Quarterly Dividend Coverage

BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “TCPC” or the “Company”), a business development company (NASDAQ: TCPC), today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $19.8 million, or $0.34 per share on a diluted basis, which exceeded the dividend of $0.30 per share paid on March 31, 2022.
  • Net increase in net assets from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $12.4 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to $32.6 million, or $0.56 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
  • Net asset value per share was $14.27 at March 31, 2022 compared to $14.36 at December 31, 2021. The change in net asset value quarter-over-quarter included $7.2 million, or $0.13 per share, in net unrealized losses driven primarily by the market-to-market impact of wider market spreads.
  • Total acquisitions during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $112.4 million and total dispositions were $153.4 million.
  • The credit quality of the portfolio remains strong with debt investments in just two portfolio companies on non-accrual status, representing 0.3% of the portfolio at fair value and 0.9% at cost as of March 31, 2022.
  • Fitch reaffirmed the Company’s investment-grade rating with stable outlook during the first quarter.
  • All $140.0 million of the 2022 Convertible Notes matured on March 1, 2022. The 2022 Convertible Notes bore interest at an annual rate of 4.625%. No notes were converted prior to their maturity.
  • On May 4, 2022, our board of directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.30 per share payable on June 30, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 16, 2022.

“We invested in a number of new opportunities in the first quarter, maintaining a highly diverse portfolio and excellent credit quality,” said Rajneesh Vig, BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Chairman and CEO. “Despite volatility in the broader markets, we are leveraging the power and breadth of the BlackRock platform and our team’s deep experience in direct lending, to selectively deploy capital on favorable terms. Importantly, we are well-positioned for rising interest rates, as 95% of our debt investments are floating rate, and we are confident in our team’s ability to generate strong ongoing risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of March 31, 2022, our investment portfolio consisted of debt and equity positions in 119 portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $1.8 billion, 88% of which was senior secured debt. 74% of the total portfolio was first lien. Equity positions, which include equity interests in diversified portfolios of debt and lease assets, represented approximately 12% of the portfolio. 95% of our debt investments were floating rate, 92% of which had interest rate floors.

As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average annual effective yield of our debt portfolio was approximately 9.1%(1) and the weighted average annual effective yield of our total portfolio was approximately 8.7%, compared with 9.2% and 8.7%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Debt investments in two portfolio companies were on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2022, representing 0.3% of the portfolio at fair value and 0.9% at cost.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we invested approximately $112.4 million, primarily in 11 investments, comprised of 8 new and 3 existing portfolio companies. Of these investments, $111.4 million, or 99.2% of total acquisitions, were in senior secured loans. The remaining $1.0 million (0.8% of total acquisitions) was comprised of equity investments. Additionally, we received approximately $153.4 million in proceeds from sales or repayments of investments during the three months ended March 31, 2022. New investments during the quarter had a weighted average effective yield of 8.4%. Investments we exited had a weighted average effective yield of 9.2%. We expect to continue to invest in senior secured loans, bonds and subordinated debt, as well as select equity investments, to obtain a high level of current income, with an emphasis on principal protection.

As of March 31, 2022, total assets were $1.9 billion, net assets were $824.5 million and net asset value per share was $14.27, as compared to $1.9 billion, $829.5 million, and $14.36 per share, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $42.2 million, or $0.73 per share. Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $0.04 per share from prepayment premiums and related accelerated original issue discount and exit fee amortization, $0.04 per share from recurring original issue discount and exit fee amortization, $0.02 per share from interest income paid in kind, and $0.03 per share of dividend income. This reflects our policy of recording interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts, on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and similar upfront fees received in connection with the outlay of capital are generally amortized into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were approximately $22.4 million, or $0.39 per share, including interest and other debt expenses of $9.3 million, or $0.16 per share, and incentive compensation from net investment income of $4.2 million, or $0.07 per share. Excluding incentive compensation, interest and other debt expenses, annualized first quarter expenses were 4.3% of average net assets.

Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $19.8 million, or $0.34 per share. Net unrealized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $7.2 million, or $0.13 per share, primarily driven by mark-to-market adjustments across the portfolio as a result of wider market spreads, as well as a $3.7 million reversal of previously recognized unrealized gains on our investment in CORE Entertainment, partially offset by a $3.6 million unrealized gain on our investment in 36th Street, a $3.4 million unrealized gain on our investment in Razor Group and a $2.2 million unrealized gain on our investment in Hylan. Net realized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.08 million. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $12.4 million, or $0.22 per share.

__________________________

(1) Weighted average annual effective yield includes amortization of deferred debt origination and end-of-term fees and accretion of original issue discount, but excludes market discount and any prepayment and make-whole fee income. The weighted average effective yield on our debt portfolio excludes any debt investments that are distressed or on non-accrual status.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
