Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). FSIC uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSIC's financial results with other BDCs.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSIC's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures1

1)

Per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares of FSIC's common stock outstanding during the applicable

period. Per share numbers may not sum due to rounding.

 

2)

Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment income is presented for all

periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and

unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes; and (iii) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not

representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSIC's normal course of business (referred to herein as one-

time expenses). FSIC uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use

of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in

comparing its financial results with other business development companies. The presentation of this additional information is

not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A

reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income can be found above.

 

3)

The per share data for distributions reflects the amount of distributions paid per share of our common stock to stockholders of

record during each applicable period.

 

4)

See FSIC's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018 for a description of FSIC's

investment strategies.

 

5)

Gross portfolio yield represents the expected annualized yield of FSIC's investment portfolio based on the composition of the

portfolio as of the applicable date. FSIC's estimated gross portfolio yield may be higher than an investor's yield on an

investment in shares of FSIC's common stock because it does not reflect sales commissions or charges that may be incurred

in connection with the purchase or sale of such shares, or operating expenses that may be incurred by FSIC. FSIC's estimated

gross portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to stockholders, is subject to change and, in the future,

may be greater or less than the rates set forth herein.
