EVANSTON, Ill., November 4, 2021 – Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:FDUS) (“Fidus” or the “Company”), a provider of customized debt and equity financing solutions, primarily to lower middle-market companies based in the United States, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Management Commentary

“Our third quarter results reflect a continuation of a period of heightened M&A activity that began nearly a year ago. Once again, our portfolio performed well and NAV grew to $18.31 per share. Originations of $78.2 million were offset by $127.5 million of repayments which included $23.4 million in proceeds from monetizing equity investments,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation. “With two new investments totaling $27.0 million closing subsequent to quarter-end and a healthy pipeline of opportunities, we remain well positioned to judiciously build our portfolio of debt investments in lower middle market companies with resilient business models and positive long-term outlooks. Our focus, as always, is on managing the business for the long-term, adhering to our underwriting principles and generating attractive risk-adjusted returns while preserving capital.”

Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our investment adviser provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the

 


 

 

extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. 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. Reconciliations of net investment income to adjusted net investment income are set forth in Schedule 1.

The $0.1 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.0 million increase in fee income resulting from an increase in origination and prepayment fees, partial offset by a decrease in amendment fees and (ii) a $0.9 million decrease in total interest income resulting from a decrease in average debt investment balances outstanding, partially offset by a higher weighted average yield on debt investment balances outstanding, during 2021 as compared to 2020.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, total expenses, including the base management and income incentive fee waivers and income tax provision, were $16.1 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 13.7% from the $14.2 million of total expenses, including the base management and income incentive fee waivers and income tax provision, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.9 million increase in capital gains incentive fee accrued, a (ii) a $0.2 million decrease in interest and financing expenses due to a decrease in average borrowings outstanding and the weighted average interest rate, and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses.

Net investment income decreased by $1.8 million, or (25.8%), to $5.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, as a result of the $0.1 million increase in total investment income and the $1.9 million increase in total expenses, including base management and income incentive fee waivers and income tax provision. Adjusted net investment income(1), which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual, increased by $0.1 million, or 1.2%, to $9.8 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, was $8.4 million, as compared to total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, of $1.3 million for the same period in 2020.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $719,124 and consisted of 70 active portfolio companies and six portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 113.9% of the related cost basis as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, 28 portfolio

 


 

 

company’s debt investments bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $317.2 million, or 55.9%, of our debt investment portfolio on a fair value basis, and the remainder of our debt investment portfolio was comprised of fixed rate investments. As of September 30, 2021, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $9.0 million, which excludes investments in the six portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 12.3% as of September 30, 2021. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of September 30, 2021, including the accretion of OID and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status and investments recorded as a secured borrowing, if any.

Third quarter 2021 investment activity included the following new portfolio company investments:

Cardback Intermediate, LLC. (dba Chargeback Gurus), a leading provider of chargeback prevention and recovery services for eCommerce and Card Not Present businesses. Fidus invested $14.3 million in first lien debt and common and preferred equity.

 

PowerGrid Services Acquisition, LLC., a leading utility services business providing repair and maintenance services for distribution, transmission, and substation infrastructure. Fidus invested $10.5 million in second lien debt and common equity.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, we had $98.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $60.0 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). As of September 30, 2021, we had SBA debentures outstanding of $95.0 million, $19.0 million outstanding of our 6.000% notes due 2024, $63.3 million outstanding of our 5.375% notes due 2024 (the “November 2024 Notes” and collectively with the February 2024 Notes, the “Public Notes”), and $125.0 million outstanding of our 4.750% notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and collectively with the Public Notes the “Notes”). As of September 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.2%.

Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2021, we invested $8.5 million in first lien debt, subordinated debt, and common equity of Auto CRM LLC (dba Dealer Holdings), a leading SaaS-based provider of customer communication software to the auto repair market.

On October 6, 2021, we invested $18.5 million in first lien debt, common equity, and warrants of Acendre Midco, Inc., a market leading provider of cloud-based talent management software solutions.

On October 8, 2021, we closed the public offering of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% notes due 2026, or the “November 2026 Notes.” The total net proceeds to us from the November 2026 Notes, based on a public offering price of 99.996% of par, after deducting underwriting discounts of $2.5 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million, were approximately $122.1 million.

The November 2026 Notes will mature on November 15, 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year. The November 2026 Notes are unsecured obligations and rank pari passu with our existing and future unsecured indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of our subsidiaries, financing vehicles, or similar facilities we may form in the future, with respect to claims on the assets of any such subsidiaries, financing vehicles, or similar facilities. The November 2026 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option subject to a make whole provision if redeemed more than three months prior to maturity or at par thereafter. Interest on the November 2026 Notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2022. We do not intend to list the November 2026 Notes on any securities exchange or automated dealer quotation system.

On October 26, 2021. we exited our debt investment in the Tranzonic Companies. The Company received payment in full of $7.1 million on our subordinated debt, which includes a prepayment fee.

 


 

 

On October 29, 2021, we committed $16.0 million in second lien debt in a leading marketing technology platform for digital customer acquisition across all consumer verticals, including financial services, home services, and insurance.

On November 2, 2021, we fully redeemed $19.0 million and $63.3 million of the issued and outstanding February 2024 and November 2024 Notes, respectively, resulting in a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.6 million.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Base Dividend of $0.32, Supplemental Dividend of $0.04, and Special Dividend of $0.05 Per Share Declared

On November 1, 2021, our board of directors declared a base dividend of $0.32 per share, a supplemental dividend of $0.04 per share, and a special dividend of $0.05 per share for the fourth quarter. The dividends will be payable on December 17, 2021, to stockholders of record as of December 3, 2021.

When declaring dividends, our board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of undistributed taxable income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2021 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2021 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2021 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2021 dividends will generally include ordinary taxable income but may also include capital gains, qualified dividends and return of capital.

Fidus has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP at least two days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

Schedule 1

Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment Income

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses for such year, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. 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. The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
