  • Net investment income of $4.4 million, or $0.33 per share.
  • Closed investments totaled $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2017; as of September 30, 2017, 76% of our loan portfolio was senior secured.
  • 73% of the fair value of our loan portfolio was floating rate, and the weighted average yield of our performing loan portfolio was 11.50% as of September 30, 2017(1).
  • At September 30, 2017, we had one loan investment on non-accrual.
  • 90% of our debt is fixed rate with a weighted average cost of 3.43% as of September 30, 2017, with maturities in 2022 and beyond.
  • On October 31, 2017, OFS Capital's Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.34 per share for the fourth quarter of 2017, payable on December 29, 2017 to stockholders of record as of December 15, 2017.

"We remain focused on generating strong distributions for our shareholders," said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We closed $108.6 million in investments over the last two quarters. We believe that we are well positioned to grow earnings as we prudently deploy the $53.9 million of cash on hand at the end of the third quarter. Our commitment to capital preservation, and strong long-term performance is enhanced by the alignment of interests of our stockholders and our external manager, which continues to own approximately 2.9 million shares, or 22% of the outstanding OFS Capital common stock."

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

During the third quarter of 2017, OFS Capital closed $40.5 million of investments in three new portfolio companies, including a $21.3 million senior secured debt investment together with a $2.9 million preferred equity investment, an $8.7 million subordinated debt investment together with a $0.7 million common equity investment, and a $6.9 million senior secured debt investment. In addition, OFS Capital closed $1.0 million of new senior secured debt investments in two existing portfolio companies, which included a delayed draw funding of $0.5 million, and a $1.0 million preferred equity investment in an existing portfolio company.

The total fair value of OFS Capital's investment portfolio was $296.6 million at September 30, 2017, which was equal to approximately 98% of amortized cost. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio totaled $257.1 million in 37 portfolio companies, of which 76% and 24% were senior secured loans and subordinated loans, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, we also held approximately $39.5 million in equity investments, at fair value, in 17 portfolio companies in which we also held debt investments and three portfolio companies in which we solely held an equity investment. We had unfunded commitments of $4.5 million to three portfolio companies at September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, floating rate loans comprised 73% of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio, with the remaining 27% in fixed rate loans, as a percentage of fair value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income

Interest Income:

Interest income increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The $1.2 million increase was due to a $1.1 million increase primarily attributable to a 19% increase in the average outstanding loan balance, and a $0.2 million increase in Net Loan Fee amortization, offset by a $0.1 million decrease primarily attributable to a 30 basis points decrease in the weighted average yield in our portfolio. Acceleration of Net Loan Fees of $0.3 million and $0.1 million were included in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fee Income:

Fee income increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in prepayment fees and structuring fees of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, offset by a $0.1 million decrease in other fees. We recorded prepayment fees of $0.3 million resulting from $17.5 million of unscheduled principal payments during the three months ended September 30, 2017. We did not receive any unscheduled principal payments subject to prepayment fees during the three months ended September 30, 2016. We recorded structuring fees of $0.5 million in connection with the closing of $30.2 million of investments during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to structuring fees of $0.1 million in connection with the closing of $9.5 million of investments during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Expenses

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased over the corresponding periods in the prior year due to an increase in borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility ("PWB Credit Facility"). The average dollar amount of borrowings under the PWB Credit Facility outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $11.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively. There were no borrowings under the PWB Credit Facility during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Management fee expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017, increased over the corresponding period in the prior year due to an increase in our average total assets, primarily due to a increase in net investment activity, including deployment of funds from our follow-on public offering of 3,625,000 shares of our common stock in April 2017 (the "Offering").

Incentive fee expense increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income compared to the prior year, which was primarily attributable to an increase in the average investment balance as a result of net investment activity, including deployment of funds from the Offering.

Net gain (loss) on investments

Loading...

Net gain (loss) on investments consists of the sum of: (a) realized gains and losses from the sale of debt or equity securities, or the redemption of equity securities; and (b) changes in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on debt and equity investments. In the period in which a realized gain or loss is recognized, such gain or loss will generally be offset by the reversal of previously recognized unrealized appreciation or depreciation, and the net gain recognized in that period will generally be smaller. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation on debt securities is also reversed when those investments are redeemed or paid off prior to maturity. In such instances, the reversal of unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be reported as a net loss or gain, respectively, and may be partially offset by the acceleration of any premium or discount on the debt security in interest income and any prepayment fees on the debt security in fee income.

We recognized net losses of $1.7 million on senior secured debt during the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors. In addition, a previously recognized cumulative unrealized loss of $5.0 million at June 30, 2017, on My Alarm Center, LLC was realized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 upon restructure of the senior secured debt investment into preferred and common equity interests.

We recognized net losses of $2.3 million on subordinated debt during the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors, including an unrealized loss of $1.2 million recognized on our subordinated debt investment in Community Intervention Services, Inc., which was placed on non-accrual during 2016.

We recognized net gains of $0.3 million on preferred equity investments for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the positive impact from changes to EBITDA multiples used in our valuations as a result of pending transactions, offset by the net negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors. Included in net gains of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was a realized gain of $3.6 million we recognized upon exit of a preferred equity investment. We recognized cumulative unrealized gains of approximately $3.6 million on this investment through June 30, 2017, which resulted in a net gain of $-0- during the three months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, previously recognized cumulative unrealized losses of $0.3 million at June 30, 2017, on our preferred equity investments in My Alarm Center, LLC, was realized upon restructuring.

We recognized net gains of $0.5 million on common equity and warrant investments for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the positive impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2017, we had $53.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $149.9 million in outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures. As of September 30, 2017, we had $17.9 million available for additional borrowings on our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western Bank and had drawn all of our available SBA-guaranteed debentures.
