Board of Directors Declared Total Dividends of $0.70 Per Share for Second Quarter 2023

Base Dividend of $0.41, Supplemental Dividend of $0.19, and Special Dividend of $0.10 Per Share

 

 

EVANSTON, Ill., May 4, 2023 – 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

 

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

 

Total investment income of $29.1 million
Net investment income of $14.7 million, or $0.59 per share
Adjusted net investment income of $14.9 million, or $0.60 per share(1)
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $15.5 million, or $0.62 per share
Invested $51.5 million in debt and equity securities, including three new portfolio companies
Received proceeds from repayments and realizations of $15.9 million
Paid total dividends of $0.66 per share: regular quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share, supplemental dividend of $0.15 per share, and special dividend of $.10 per share on March 29, 2023
Net asset value (“NAV”) of $484.6 million, or $19.39 per share, as of March 31, 2023
Estimated spillover income (or taxable income in excess of distributions) as of March 31, 2023 of $38.7 million, or $1.55 per share

 

Management Commentary

“First quarter results demonstrate the enhanced earnings power of our portfolio, the overall health of our portfolio and NAV stability against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and a slowdown in deal activity in the lower middle market. Adjusted NII increased 40.2% to $0.60 per share over last year, well in excess of our base dividend, reflecting a larger portfolio of income-producing assets and higher yields. This strong performance supported a total dividend declaration by the Board of $0.70 per share for the second quarter,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO and Fidus Investment Corporation. “By continuing to execute our proven strategy of selectively investing in high-quality companies that possess defensive characteristics, high-cash flow business models and positive long-term outlooks, we remain well positioned to grow NAV over the long term, generating attractive risk adjusted returns for our shareholders 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 $8.5 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily attributable to (i) a $9.0 million increase in total interest income (including payment -in-kind interest income) resulting from an increase in average debt investment balances outstanding and an increase in weighted average yield on debt investment balances outstanding, partially offset by (ii) a $0.3 million decrease in dividend income due to decreased levels of distributions received from equity investments, and (iii) a $0.8 million decrease in fee income resulting from an decrease in origination fees, which is partially offset by an increase in amendment and prepayment fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, total expenses, including the base management fee waivers and income tax provision, were $14.3 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 40.8% from the $10.2 million of total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $2.5 million net increase in the income incentive fee, (ii) a $0.8 million increase in interest and financing expenses due to an increase in debt outstanding in 2023 and an increase in weighted average interest rate on borrowings, (iii) a $0.6 million net increase in base management fee, including the base management fee waiver, due to higher average total assets, (iv) a $0.3 million increase in professional fees, and (v), a $0.1 million decrease in capital gains incentive fee accrued.

Net investment income increased by $4.4 million, or 42.4%, to $14.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of the $8.5 million increase in total investment income, partially offset by the $4.1 million increase in total expenses, including base management fee waiver and income tax provision. Adjusted net investment income,(1) which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual, was $0.60 per share compared to $0.43 per share in the prior year.

 


For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, was $0.1 million, as compared to total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, of $6.9 million for the same period in 2022.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $897.3 million and consisted of 78 active portfolio companies and two portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 103.7% of the related cost basis as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the debt investments of 43 portfolio companies bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $549.9 million, or 71.2%, 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 March 31, 2023, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $11.1 million, which excludes investments in the two portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 14.3% as of March 31, 2023. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of March 31, 2023, including the accretion of original issue discounts and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status and investments recorded as a secured borrowing, if any.

First quarter 2023 investment activity included the following new portfolio company investments:

CTM Group, Inc., a leading provider of turn-key entertainment solutions across tourist attractions, leisure venues, and high traffic retail sites. Fidus invested $8.0 million in first lien debt, $2.0 million in subordinated debt, and $0.4 million in common equity.
QED Technologies International, Inc., a leading provider of precision optics finishing and inspection equipment, products, and services for the semiconductor, military, space, R&D, imaging, and other industries. Fidus invested $17.4 million in first lien debt and $1.4 million in common equity.
USG AS Holdings, LLC, a leading provider of water asset management services for small and medium public water utilities in North America. Fidus invested $10.0 million in first lien debt and $1.0 million in common equity.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we had $36.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $85.0 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received net proceeds of $5.3 million from the equity at-the-market program. As of March 31, 2023, we had SBA debentures outstanding of $165.0 million, $125.0 million outstanding of our 4.75% notes due January 2026 and $125.0 million outstanding of our 3.50% notes due November 2026. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.2%.

Subsequent Events

On April 4, 2023, we exited our debt and equity investments in Rhino Assembly Company, LLC. We received payment in full of $14.9 million on our second lien debt. We received a distribution on our common and preferred equity investments for a net realized gain of approximately $2.1 million.

 

On April 28, 2023, we invested $2.5 million in first lien debt of Puget Collision, LLC, a multi-unit operator of auto collision repair shops operating in the CARSTAR and Fix Auto franchise systems.


Second Quarter 2023 Dividends Declared

On May 1, 2023, our board of directors declared a base dividend of $0.41 per share, a supplemental dividend of $0.19 per share, and a special dividend of $0.10 per share for the second quarter, which are payable on June 28, 2023, to stockholders of record as of June 21, 2023.

When declaring dividends, our board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated income under GAAP 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 2023 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2023 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2023 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2023 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 investment 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Adjusted net investment income per share amounts are calculated as adjusted net investment income dividend by weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Due to rounding, the sum of net investment income per share and capital gains incentive fee expense (reversal) amounts may not equal the adjusted net investment income per share amount presented here.
