Third Fiscal Quarter 2021 Highlights:

  • Portfolio Activity: Invested $38.0 million in three new proprietary portfolio companies and $15.2 million in existing portfolio companies. Received $54.4 million in repayments and net proceeds, primarily from the sale of two proprietary portfolio companies and payoff of one syndicated portfolio company.
  • Portfolio Mix/Yields: Secured first lien assets rose to 65.8% of the portfolio at cost.
  • Portfolio Performance: Portfolio companies continued to perform well, generating equity and loan market value appreciation of $4.8 million and we ended the quarter with no assets on non-accrual.
  • Net Asset Value: Increased 7.9% from March 31, 2021, to $292.4 million, and NAV per share rose 5.1% to $8.52 per share, as of June 30, 2021.
  • Conservative Capital Base: Maintained a debt-to-equity ratio of 76.0%.
  • Credit Facility and Liquidity: Successfully amended and restated our credit facility to, among other things, extend the revolving period end date to October 31, 2023 and extend the maturity date to October 31, 2025. Ended the quarter with more than $130.0 million of available liquidity under our credit facility.

Third Fiscal Quarter 2021 Results:

Total investment income during the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was $13.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The quarter over quarter increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in interest income, driven by $0.6 million in payments of past due interest from a portfolio company previously on non-accrual status, as well as an increase in the average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio of $9.5 million, or 2.1%, quarter over quarter.

Total expenses increased by $0.6 million, quarter over quarter, primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in net management and incentive fees and a $0.2 million increase in interest expense on borrowings and notes payable.

Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $6.6 million, an increase of 3.2%, as compared to the prior quarter, or $0.195 per share.

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $18.0 million, or $0.53 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $21.3 million, or $0.65 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The current quarter increase was driven by net investment income, $6.5 million in net realized gains, and $4.8 million in net appreciation due to improvement in the financial and operational performance across our portfolio companies.

Subsequent Events: Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the following significant events occurred:

  • Portfolio Activity: In July 2021, we invested an additional $6.2 million in Lignetics, Inc., an existing portfolio company, through secured second lien debt.

Comments from Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte: "We are pleased to report that our lower middle market portfolio has continued to perform well, and last quarter's realized gains and appreciation helped lift GLAD's ROE to 11.3% since December 31, 2019 and boost the NAV per share to $8.52, a 5.4% increase since December 31, 2019. Last quarter was active for 1st lien/unitranche originations, and we kept pace with repayments to achieve positive net investment growth and we believe we remain well positioned to capitalize on our conservative leverage position to grow our lower middle market portfolio and earnings."
