EVANSTON, Ill., August 3, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

 

Total investment income of $30.6 million
Net investment income of $16.8 million, or $0.67 per share
Adjusted net investment income of $15.6 million, or $0.62 per share(1)

Net asset value (“NAV”) of $483.3 million, or $19.13 per share, as of June 30, 2023

Management Commentary

“The combination of a larger portfolio of income-producing assets and a widened spread further enhanced the earnings power of our portfolio during the second quarter, and we grew Adjusted NII 44.2% versus last year to $0.62 per share, well in excess of our base dividend. Net originations were $35.2 million, as we continued to build our portfolio, which reached $928.7 million on a fair value basis at quarter end. With a healthy and performing portfolio, the total dividend declaration increased for the third quarter to $0.72 per share, allowing our shareholders to continue to fully participate in our success,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation. “Looking ahead, the volume of deal activity in the lower middle market offers us opportunities to invest selectively in high-quality companies, and we intend to remain focused on our long-term goals of growing NAV over time, preserving capital and generating attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”

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 $9.4 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily attributable to (i) a $7.7 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, (ii) a $0.9 million increase in fee income resulting from an increase in amendment fees, prepayment fees, and origination fees, and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in dividend income due to increased levels of distributions received from equity investments.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, total expenses, including the base management fee waivers and income tax provision, were $13.8 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 35.8% from the $10.1 million of total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $2.6 million net increase in the income incentive fee, (ii) a $0.9 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 $0.6 million decrease in capital gains incentive fee accrued.

Net investment income increased by $5.8 million, or 52.5%, to $16.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of the $9.4 million increase in total investment income, partially offset by the $3.7 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 $0.62 per share compared to $0.43 per share in the prior year.

 


For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, was $(7.1) million, as compared to total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, of $18.2 million for the same period in 2022.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $928.7 million and consisted of 79 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 June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the debt investments of 46 portfolio companies bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $589.3 million, or 72.9%, 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 June 30, 2023, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $11.3 million, which excludes investments in the two portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 14.5% as of June 30, 2023. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of June 30, 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.

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

Aldinger Company, a leading provider of calibration services for test and measurement equipment. Fidus invested $7.8 million in first lien debt and $0.7 million in preferred equity.
Detechtion Holdings, LLC, a leading provider of real-time asset performance management solutions for energy companies. Fidus invested $17.5 million in first lien debt, $2.0 million in subordinated debt and $0.5 million in common equity.
NWS Technologies, LLC, a leading provider of nuclear safety valve testing and repair services. Fidus invested $17.0 million in first lien debt, $1.1 million in common equity, and $0.4 million in preferred equity.
Puget Collision, LLC, a multi-unit operator of auto collision repair shops operating in the CARSTAR and Fix Auto franchise systems. Fidus invested $5.1 million in first lien debt.
US Fertility Enterprises, LLC, a leading physician practice and laboratory management company providing business support services to top-tier fertility programs across the United States. Fidus invested $12.5 million in subordinated debt.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $38.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $70.0 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we received net proceeds of $4.8 million from the equity at-the-market program. As of June 30, 2023, we had SBA debentures outstanding of $182.0 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 June 30, 2023, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.5%.

Subsequent Events

On July 19, 2023, we issued an additional $8.0 million in SBA debentures, which will pool in September 2023. Until the pooling date, the debentures bear interest at a fixed rate interim interest rate of 6.035%.

On July 21, 2023, we invested $19.0 million in first lien debt, subordinated debt, common equity, and preferred equity in DealerBuilt Acquisition, LLC, a provider of Dealer Management System (DMS) software for auto dealerships.

For the period from July 1, 2023, to August 2, 2023, we sold a total of 50,264 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million, after deducting commissions to the sales agents on shares sold and offering expenses.

 


Second Quarter 2023 Dividends Declared

On July 31, 2023, our board of directors declared a base dividend of $0.41 per share, a supplemental dividend of $0.21 per share, and a special dividend of $0.10 per share for the third quarter, which are payable on September 27, 2023, to stockholders of record as of September 20, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Adjusted net investment income per share amounts are calculated as adjusted net investment income divided 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.
