BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:BKCC) (“BCIC” or the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.10 per share, payable on October 6, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2022.
______________________________________ |
1Adjusted NII excludes the reversal of “hypothetical liquidation” basis capital gains incentive fee accrual required under GAAP of approximately $(1.1) million in the second quarter of 2022 and $(0.5) million in the first quarter of 2022, respectively (refer to Supplemental Information for further details). |
“We delivered another quarter of strong results and solid origination activity, making further progress in our commitment to build a diversified portfolio with solid risk-adjusted returns,” said James E. Keenan, Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company. “Drawing upon the power of the BlackRock platform, we added 11 new portfolio companies during the quarter, substantially all of which were in senior secured debt. We reached a milestone of 100 portfolio companies, representing significant progress from 47 at the end of 2019.”
“We deployed nearly $74 million in the second quarter – primarily in first lien loans. Approximately 74% of our portfolio consists of first lien investments, consistent with the end of 2021 and up from 34% at the end of 2019. Likewise, non-core investments have continued to decline as a percentage of our portfolio from 16% at the end of 2019 down to just 4% as of the end of this quarter, demonstrating our continued focus on strengthening the portfolio’s asset quality,” Mr. Keenan continued.
“In the third quarter so far, we are seeing a continuation of the level of deployment activity that we have seen in the first half of this year. We are also seeing pricing and structures more favorable to lenders in the private credit market. Amidst the macroeconomic backdrop of high inflation, rising interest rates and slowing consumer demand, we remain vigilant in new underwriting as well as in monitoring our existing portfolio. We believe that our portfolio is well positioned to withstand the impacts of an economic downcycle. During the second quarter, there were no new non-accruals or amendments that resulted in a payment deferral,” Mr. Keenan continued.

“We are also pleased with our liability management during the quarter, having issued $92.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Notes, which were used along with the proceeds from our revolver to repay our $143.7 million of 2022 Convertible Notes at their maturity in June. As a result of these transactions and combined with our robust net deployments during the quarter, net leverage increased to 0.64x at June 30 from 0.46x at the end of the prior quarter. We maintain ample leverage capacity as we pursue disciplined portfolio growth that we expect will be accretive to NII and provide increased dividend coverage for our stockholders as we progress through the second half of the year,” Mr. Keenan concluded.

Net investment income and per share amounts displayed above are net of the reversal for incentive fees on capital gains which is reflected on a hypothetical liquidation basis in accordance with GAAP for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Supplemental Information section below for further details and as adjusted figures that reflect that there were no incentive fees on capital gains realized and payable to the Advisor during such periods. |
|
(2) |
For the three and sixth month periods ended June 30, 2022, the impact of the hypothetical conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes was antidilutive. |
Supplemental Information
The Company reports its financial results on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis; however, management believes that evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of the Company’s financial performance over time. The Company’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company records its liability for incentive fees based on capital gains by performing a hypothetical liquidation basis calculation at the end of each reporting period, as required by GAAP, which assumes that all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized as of the reporting date. It should be noted that incentive fees based on capital gains (if any) are not due and payable until the end of the annual measurement period, or every June 30. The incremental incentive fees disclosed for a given period are not necessarily indicative of actual full year results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. There can be no assurance that unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation will be realized in the future, or that any accrued capital gains incentive fee will become payable. Incentive fee amounts on capital gains actually paid by the Company will specifically exclude consideration of unrealized capital appreciation, consistent with requirements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Company’s investment management agreement. For a more detailed description of the Company’s incentive fees, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, on file with the SEC.

1 Pre-Incentive Fee: Amounts are adjusted to remove all incentive fees. Such fees have been accrued (reversed) but are not due and payable at the reporting date. 2 As Adjusted: Amounts are adjusted to remove the GAAP accrual (reversal) for incentive fee based on capital gains, and to include only the incremental incentive fee based on income. Adjusted amounts reflect the fact that no incentive fee on capital gains was realized and payable to the Advisor during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Under the Current Management Agreement, incentive fee based on income is calculated for each calendar quarter and may be paid on a quarterly basis if certain thresholds are met. Amounts reflected the Company’s ongoing operating results and reflect the Company’s financial performance over time. |
