Results of Operations

Full Year

For the year ended December 31, 2022, investment income totaled $116.7 million, an increase from $94.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income from investments due to a rise in benchmark rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of upfront fees, increased from $85.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $108.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Included in interest from investments for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are $2.4 million and $8.0 million of accelerated accretion of OID related to paydown activity, respectively. Dividend income increased from $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to higher distributions from portfolio companies. Other income, which includes consent, waiver, amendment, agency, underwriting and arranger fees associated with our investment activities, decreased from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to lower amendment fees received.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, total expenses, including income and excise taxes, totaled $57.0 million and $46.4 million, respectively. Interest and other debt financing costs increased from $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $31.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, due to higher weighted average debt outstanding and a higher weighted average cost of debt primarily attributable to the rise in benchmark rates.

Fourth Quarter

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, investment income totaled $34.6 million, an increase from $29.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income from investments due to a rise in benchmark rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of upfront fees, increased from $27.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to $32.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, total expenses, including income and excise taxes, totaled $18.5 million, an increase from $13.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Interest and other debt financing costs increased from $8.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to $11.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, due to a higher weighted average cost of debt primarily attributable to the rise in benchmark rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $17.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $225.2 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was 6.23%.

The Company’s debt to equity ratio was 1.08x as of December 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing adjusted net investment income and adjusted net investment income per share, each of which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income, excluding capital gains incentive fees. We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The Company’s investment advisory agreement provides that a capital gains-based incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital appreciation) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis. We believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful performance measure because it reflects the net investment income produced on the Company’s investments during a period without giving effect to any changes in the value of such investments and any related capital gains incentive fees between periods. The presentation of adjusted net investment income is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

The following table provides an unaudited reconciliation of net investment income (the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) to adjusted net investment income for the periods presented:

Endnotes

Note: Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

  1. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for a description of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation from net investment income to adjusted net investment income. The Company's management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of adjusted net investment income is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

  2. Yield excludes investments on non-accrual status.

  3. Unitranche loans are first lien loans that may extend deeper in a company’s capital structure than traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority among different lenders in the unitranche loan. In certain instances, the Company may find another lender to provide the “first out” portion of such loan and retain the “last out” portion of such loan, in which case, the “first out” portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the “last out” portion that the Company would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the “last out” portion earns a higher interest rate.
