Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2018

  • Pro forma net investment income of $49.3 million, or $0.40 per share, as compared to $50.3 million, or $0.40 per share, for the prior quarter1
  • Net investment income of $43.8 million, or $0.35 per share, as compared to $49.4 million, or $0.39 per share, for the prior quarter
  • Net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $12.4 million, or $0.10 per share, resulting from $13.0 million of net unrealized gains and $25.4 million of net realized losses. This compares to net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $11.4 million, or $0.09 per share, for the prior quarter
  • Paid regular cash dividends to stockholders totaling $0.402 per share
  • Net asset value of $19.44 per share, compared to $19.58 as of June 30, 2018

"This year, we've continued to focus on serving the needs of our borrowers and sourcing attractive new investment opportunities, which in turn has allowed us to deliver a competitive and stable dividend while preserving capital for our stockholders," said Todd Builione, President of CCT. "Additionally, we are pleased with the progress we've made since announcing the formation of the partnership between FS Investments and KKR. Completing the merger with FSIC, efficiently leveraging our lower cost revolving credit facility and maintaining a robust origination pipeline will position us well to deliver consistent long-term performance."

Announcement of Expected Dividend for Fourth Quarter 2018

CCT expects to declare a fourth quarter dividend of at least $0.40 per share, subject to approval by the board of directors. Assuming the merger with FSIC closes in Q4 following satisfaction of all conditions, the final size of the dividend will also be designed to distribute any undistributed taxable income and net realized capital gains.

_____________________________
1 For comparison purposes to 2018, 2017 management fees have been adjusted to 1.5% and income incentive fee has been recalculated based on current advisor contract. Additionally, one-time merger, listing & refinancing related expenses have been added back. See full reconciliation above.
2 All per share metrics are presented pro forma for the 1-for-2.25 reverse stock split which occurred on October 31, 2017. Schedule may include balancing figures derived from the other figures in the schedule and may differ slightly due to rounding associated with the 2.25x stock split.
3 Originated Strategy Investments are defined as investments where our Advisor negotiates the terms of the transaction beyond just the price, which, for example, may include negotiating financial covenants, maturity dates or interest rate terms or where we participate in other originated investment where there may be third parties involved, or a bank acting as an intermediary, for a closely held club, or similar investment.
4 The weighted average annual yield for accruing debt investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the stated annual interest rate of each debt, and debt like, investment, multiplied by its par amount, adjusted to U.S. dollars and for any partial income accrual when necessary, as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual amortization of the purchase or original issue discount or premium of each accreting debt investment; divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of debt investments included in the calculated group as of the end of the applicable reporting period. Prior to Q3 2017 our weighted average annual yield did not adjust for any non-accreting or partial accrual investments. Beginning in Q2 2018, asset based finance investments with an effective interest rate are being included in the calculation.
5 Q3 2018, Q2 2018 and Q3 2017 Sales and Redemptions include $14.2 million, $206.9 million and $171.4 million, respectively, of investments sold to SCJV.
