Management Commentary
“Our third quarter results illustrate both the benefits of our strategy and the overall health of our investment portfolio, which produced a solid double-digit gain in net investment income versus prior year and $6.3 million of net realized gains. From an investments and repayments perspective it was, as expected, an active quarter. As we look forward, we are maintaining our underwriting discipline and investment quality over quantity approach, investing in industries we know well and companies with positive long-term outlooks, recurring revenue streams and strong free cash flow generation. Our Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend for the ninth time since our IPO in June 2011 and remains focused on delivering stable dividends for our shareholders,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation.
(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. 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.
Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, total investment income was $18.0 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 25.0%, over the $14.4 million of total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was attributable to a $4.2 million increase in interest income resulting from higher average debt investment balances outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by a $(0.5) million decrease in dividend income due to decreased levels of distributions received from equity investments during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, and a $(0.1) million decrease in fee income resulting from fewer prepayments and amendments and related fees during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.
For the three months ended September 30 2017, total expenses, including income tax provision, were $8.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 14.3%, from the $7.7 million of total expenses, including income tax provision, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest and financing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $2.5 million, a decrease of $(0.1) million, or 3.8%, from the $2.6 million of interest and financing expenses for the same period in 2016. The base management fee increased $0.4 million, or 19.0%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 due to higher average total assets during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The incentive fee for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.0 million, a $0.9 million, or 42.9%, increase from the $2.1 million incentive fee for the three months ended September 30, 2016, which is comprised of an increase in the income incentive fee of $0.7 million and an increase in the capital gains incentive fee of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016. The administrative service fee, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses totaled $0.8 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $9.2 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 37.3%, compared to net investment income of $6.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of the $3.6 million increase in total investment income, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in total expenses, including income tax provision.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the total net realized gain on investments was $6.3 million, as compared to total net realized (loss) on investments of $(6.0) million for the same period in 2016.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $(3.1) million attributable to (i) the reversal of net unrealized appreciation of $(5.5) million related to the exit, sale or restructuring of investments, resulting in unrealized depreciation, (ii) net unrealized depreciation of $(5.1) million on debt investments and (iii) net unrealized appreciation of $7.5 million on equity investments. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $7.8 million attributable to (i) the reversal of net unrealized depreciation of $11.0 million related to the exit or sale of investments, resulting in unrealized appreciation, (ii) net unrealized depreciation of $(1.7) million on debt investments and (iii) net unrealized depreciation of $(1.5) million on equity investments.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded $0.3 million of income tax provision from realized gains on investments. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we did not record any income tax provision from realized gains on investments.
As a result of these events, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $12.1 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 40.7%, compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $8.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Portfolio and Investment Activities
As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $560.9 million and consisted of 58 active portfolio companies and five portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. As of September 30, 2017, three debt investments bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $26.1 million of our portfolio on a fair value basis, and the
remainder of our debt portfolio was comprised of fixed rate investments. Overall, the portfolio had net unrealized appreciation of $18.8 million as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $9.3 million, which excludes investments in the five portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments as of September 30, 2017 was 13.3%. The weighted average yield of our debt investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our fees and expenses. The weighted average yields were computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of September 30, 2017 including the accretion of original issue discount and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status, if any.
Third quarter 2017 investment activity included the following new portfolio company investments:
| • | ControlScan, Inc., a leading provider of payments security, managed firewall and managed network solutions and one of the nation’s foremost PCI compliance companies. Fidus invested $7.8 million in subordinated notes, preferred equity and common equity. |
| • | Marco Group International OpCo, LLC, a manufacturer and distributor of surface preparation equipment, parts and supplies to industrial contractors primarily in the downstream energy, infrastructure and industrial markets. Fidus invested $12.8 million in subordinated notes and common equity. |
| • | Rhino Assembly Company, LLC, a leading value-added distributor of high-performance assembly tools and material handling equipment used in heavy manufacturing. Fidus invested $4.3 million in subordinated notes and preferred equity and committed $1.5 million in additional subordinated notes which was unfunded at close. |
| • | Tile Redi, LLC, a leading manufacturer and marketer of bathroom products for use in tiled showers. The company serves both “do-it-yourselfers” and commercial end users throughout the US, primarily selling into the home remodeling and renovation end markets. Fidus invested $10.2 million in senior secured loans. |
| • | Viverae, Inc., a provider of comprehensive health management solutions that help corporations reduce health care costs through improved employee health. Fidus invested $10.5 million in subordinated notes and preferred equity. |
As of September 30, 2017, we had investments in one portfolio company on non-accrual status, which had an aggregate cost and fair value of $9.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2017, Fidus had $46.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. SBA debentures outstanding were $216.3 million and unfunded SBA commitments totaled $42.0 million as of September 30, 2017. Fidus had no borrowings outstanding on its senior secured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2017. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2017 was 3.6%.
Subsequent Events
On October 17, 2017, we exited our debt and equity investments in Brook & Whittle Limited. We received payment in full on our subordinated notes. We sold our equity investments for a realized gain of approximately $1.0 million.
Fourth Quarter 2017 Dividend of $0.39 Per Share and Special Cash Dividend of $0.04 Per Share Declared
On October 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share for the fourth quarter of 2017, payable on December 27, 2017 to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2017. In addition, the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable on December 27, 2017 to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2017.
When declaring dividends, the Company’s 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 2017 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2017 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2017 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2017 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 the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP at least three days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s 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, 2017 and 2016.

| (1) | 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. |
