Second Fiscal Quarter 2023 Highlights:

  • Portfolio Activity: Invested $48.0 million in two new portfolio companies and $16.1 million in existing portfolio companies. Received $9.8 million in repayments and net proceeds.
  • Net Investment Income: Increased 10.4% over last quarter to $9.6 million, or $0.26 per share, driven primarily by higher interest income.
  • Portfolio Mix/Yields: Secured first lien assets continued to be over 70% of the portfolio, at cost, while the weighted average yield on debt investments rose 80bp to 13.1%.
  • Equity Issuance: Issued 1,370,967 shares of common stock through our at-the-market program at a weighted-average price of $10.21 per share, or 111% of net asset value, generating net proceeds of $13.8 million.
  • Credit Facility Availability: Ended the quarter with availability in excess of $70 million.

Second Fiscal Quarter 2023 Results:

Total investment income increased by $1.3 million, or 6.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the prior quarter ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in interest income. The increase in interest income was driven by increases in both the weighted average yield and weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investments.

Total expenses increased by $0.4 million, quarter over quarter, primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in interest expense quarter over quarter driven mainly by an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our line of credit.

Net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $9.6 million, an increase of 10.4%, as compared to the prior quarter, or $0.26 per share, and covered distributions paid of $0.225 by 116%.

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $12.0 million, or $0.33 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5.7 million, or $0.16 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The current quarter increase was primarily driven by the increase in net investment income and $1.9 million of net unrealized appreciation recognized during the quarter.

  • Portfolio Activity:
    • In April 2023, we invested $25.0 million in Technical Resource Management, LLC ("Technical") through secured first lien debt and equity.

Comments from Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte: "While increased interest rates have lifted our net interest income and supported the recent increase in our distributions, favorable lending market conditions, our continued focus on portfolio performance, and disciplined asset growth while maintaining our conservative leverage metrics will be the primary drivers of our earnings momentum in the coming quarters."
