BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2022, Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.10 per Share

  • GAAP Net Investment Income (“NII”) was $8.1 million, or $0.11 per share in the fourth quarter, representing a 6% increase from third quarter NII of $7.7 million. Fourth quarter NII provided dividend coverage of 112%, up from third quarter dividend coverage of 105%. NII for the fourth quarter includes fee and other one-time income of approximately $0.01 per share, as compared to $0.02 per share in the prior quarter.
  • Net Asset Value (“NAV”) decreased to $318.5 million as of December 31, 2022, down 4.1% from $332.0 million as of September 30, 2022; NAV per share decreased by 3.7% to $4.39 per share from $4.56 per share as of September 30, 2022, primarily driven by net unrealized losses of $13.2 million during the quarter due to credit spread widening across the broader market and other portfolio valuation declines.
  • The Company had gross deployments totaling $36.0 million during the fourth quarter, substantially all of which were in first lien loans. The weighted average yield on gross deployments during the quarter was 11.5%, up from 10.0% in the third quarter. During the quarter, 8 new portfolio companies were added, bringing total portfolio companies at quarter-end to 116, up from 86 at the end of 2021 and 55 at the end of 2020. Gross repayments during the fourth quarter were $27.9 million, including full repayments from 3 existing portfolio companies.
  • The Company’s weighted-average portfolio yield as of December 31, 2022 increased to 11.9% based on total portfolio fair value, up from 10.5% as of September 30, 2022. The increase was largely driven by a rise in LIBOR and SOFR rates during the quarter.
  • Net leverage was 0.77x as of December 31, 2022, up from 0.71x as of September 30, 2022, driven by new net deployments and a decrease in valuations across our portfolio. Total available liquidity for deployment into portfolio company investments, including cash, was approximately $112.5 million, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
  • During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 318,324 shares under the share repurchase program, spending approximately $1.2 million at an average price of $3.62 per share, including brokerage commissions.

BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:BKCC) (“BCIC” or the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on April 6, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2023.

“Our NII continued its upward trajectory this quarter, demonstrating the strength of our increasingly diversified portfolio and our commitment to delivering solid risk-adjusted returns,” said James E. Keenan, Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company. “We are very pleased that our NII covered our $0.10 dividend by 112% this quarter. Higher base rates and an improved pricing environment on new originations contributed to a 6% increase in NII from the prior quarter. Our relatively modest leverage ratio of 0.77x allows us the flexibility to selectively grow our portfolio and further increase its earnings power."

“The fourth quarter witnessed reduced origination activity across the market as corporate mergers and acquisitions, the need for growth financings as well as refinancing activity slowed down owing to a rising interest rate environment. Even during this slower environment, we added 8 new portfolio companies during the quarter, drawing upon the power of the BlackRock platform. We ended the year with a well-diversified portfolio of 116 companies, more than doubling the number of portfolio companies we had at the end of 2020. We deployed $36 million in the fourth quarter on a gross basis – almost entirely in first lien loans. At the end of the year, 79% of our portfolio consisted of first lien investments, up from 74% at the end of 2021 and 50% at the end of 2020, representing significant progress in our effort to lower the risk profile of the portfolio over that time frame. Subsequent to the fourth quarter, we exited and realized our non-core legacy investments in Advanced Lighting (previously a non-accrual asset) and Kemmerer Operations, reducing our non-core exposure to less than 1% of the portfolio on a pro forma basis,” Mr. Keenan continued.

“Against the macroeconomic backdrop of continued inflation, higher interest rates, and softening consumer demand, we remain highly selective in underwriting new investments and vigilant in monitoring our existing portfolio. We believe that our portfolio is well positioned to withstand the impact of a deteriorating economic environment. Our credit quality remains solid as there were no new non-accrual investments in the fourth quarter, demonstrating our focus on prudent underwriting and maintaining a strong credit culture.” Mr. Keenan concluded.

Business Updates

  • Reduced Exposure in Non-Core Legacy Portfolio: During the fourth quarter, the Company received $1.0 million of proceeds from a partial repayment of our first lien term loan in Kemmerer Operations, LLC ("Kemmerer Operations"). The non-core portfolio stood at less than 2% of our entire portfolio, at fair value, as of December 31, 2022. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company received $2.4 million in proceeds from the full sale of its first lien debt and equity positions in Kemmerer Operations, and $0.8 million in proceeds from the full sale of its non-accrual second lien secured note position in Advanced Lighting Technologies, LLC ("Advanced Lighting"), further reducing the Company's non-core legacy exposure.
  • Other Junior Capital Exposure: As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s other junior capital (including unsecured/subordinated debt and equity) exposure, excluding non-core assets, remained low at 4% of the portfolio, down from 6% at December 31, 2021, and down from 21% at December 31, 2020.
  • Share Repurchase Program: During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 318,324 shares of its common stock for $1.2 million at an average price of $3.62 per share, including brokerage commissions. On October 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to a total of 8 million shares, commencing on November 7, 2022 and effective until the earlier of November 6, 2023 or such time that all of the authorized shares have been repurchased, subject to the terms of a share repurchase program, if in effect.

Fourth Quarter Financial Updates

  • NII was $8.1 million, or approximately $0.11 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 6% from the prior quarter. Relative to our dividend declared of $0.10 per share, dividend coverage was 112%, up from 105% in the prior quarter.
  • NAV decreased to $318.5 million at December 31, 2022, down 4.1% from $332.0 million at September 30, 2022; NAV per share decreased to $4.39 per share from $4.56 per share as of September 30, 2022. The NAV decrease was primarily driven by $13.2 million of net unrealized losses due to credit spread widening across the broader market and other portfolio valuation declines.
  • Tax characteristics of all 2022 dividends were reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Our 2022 aggregate dividends of $0.40 per share included a $0.02 per share return of capital. At our discretion, we may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. We will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. There was no undistributed taxable income carried forward from 2022, and therefore no excise tax payable at December 31, 2022.

__________________________________________

  1. Net investment income and per share amounts displayed above are net of the accrual (reversal) for incentive fees on capital gains which is reflected on a hypothetical liquidation basis in accordance with GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. Refer to Supplemental Information section below for further details and as adjusted figures that reflect that there were no incentive fees on capital gains realized and payable to the Advisor during such periods.
  2. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the impact of the hypothetical conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes was antidilutive. 

Supplemental Information

The Company reports its financial results on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis; however, management believes that evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of the Company’s financial performance over time. The Company’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company records its liability for incentive fees based on capital gains (if any) by performing a hypothetical liquidation basis calculation at the end of each reporting period, as required by GAAP, which assumes that all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized as of the reporting date. It should be noted that incentive fees based on capital gains (if any) are not due and payable until the end of the annual measurement period, or every June 30. The incremental incentive fees disclosed for a given period are not necessarily indicative of actual full year results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, geopolitical conditions and other parameters could cause actual results to differ from estimates and such differences could be material. There can be no assurance that unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation will be realized in the future, or that any accrued capital gains incentive fee will become payable. Incentive fee amounts on capital gains actually paid by the Company will specifically exclude consideration of unrealized capital appreciation, consistent with requirements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Company’s investment management agreement. For a more detailed description of the Company’s incentive fees, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

__________________________________________

  1. Pre-Incentive Fee: Amounts are adjusted to remove the impact of all accrued (reversed) incentive fees recorded during the period.
  2. As Adjusted: Amounts are adjusted to remove the GAAP accrual (reversal) for incentive fee based on capital gains (if any) and to include only the incremental incentive fee based on income. Adjusted amounts reflect the fact that no incentive fee on capital gains was realized and payable to the Advisor during the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Under the current investment management agreement, incentive fee based on income is calculated for each calendar quarter and may be paid on a quarterly basis if certain thresholds are met.
