As a result of our positive performance, we again generated distributable net investment income per share in excess of our regular monthly dividends, exceeding the regular monthly dividends paid during the quarter by approximately 10%. In addition, during 2016 our full year total distributable net investment income exceeded our regular monthly dividends paid for the year by 10% and we maintained our supplemental dividends at $0.55 per share. We believe that our 2016 performance, including the net realized gains of $61.0 million on the exits of three lower middle market companies, continued to highlight the unique benefits of our differentiated investment strategy, and we look forward to using the remaining incremental debenture capacity under our third SBIC license received in 2016 to help fund our primary investment strategy of providing debt and equity financing to lower middle market companies."

The $3.3 million increase in total investment income in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) a $3.2 million increase in interest income primarily related to higher average levels of investment portfolio debt investments and (ii) a $0.2 million increase in dividend income from investment portfolio equity investments. The $3.3 million increase in total investment income in the fourth quarter of 2016 includes an increase of $0.5 million primarily related to higher accelerated prepayment and repricing activity for certain investment portfolio debt investments when compared to the same period in 2015.

Cash operating expenses (total operating expenses excluding non-cash, share-based compensation expense) increased to $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $13.3 million for the corresponding period of 2015. This comparable period increase in cash operating expenses was principally attributable to (i) a $0.5 million increase in compensation expense related to increases in the number of personnel, base compensation levels and incentive compensation accruals and (ii) a $0.3 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to an increase in interest expense on our Credit Facility, with such increase primarily due to the higher average interest rate on the Credit Facility in the fourth quarter of 2016, with these increases partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in the expenses allocated to our external investment manager, a wholly owned portfolio company and registered investment advisor that provides investment management services to third parties (the "External Investment Manager"), in each case when compared to the same period in the prior year. Our Operating Expense to Assets Ratio was 1.5% on an annualized basis for the fourth quarter of 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 1.4% on an annualized basis for the fourth quarter of 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The $2.6 million increase in distributable net investment income, which is net investment income before non-cash, share-based compensation expense, was primarily due to the higher level of total investment income, partially offset by higher operating expenses as discussed above.(1) Distributable net investment income on a per share basis for the fourth quarter of 2016 reflects (i) an increase of approximately $0.01 per share from the comparable period in 2015 attributable to the net increase in the comparable levels of accelerated prepayment and repricing activity for certain investment portfolio debt investments and (ii) a greater number of average shares outstanding compared to the corresponding period in 2015 primarily due to shares issued through offerings under our at-the-market, or ATM, program and shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.

The $40.5 million change in the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was primarily the result of (i) a $31.7 million increase in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from net unrealized depreciation of $10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 to net unrealized appreciation of $21.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, (ii) an $8.3 million decrease in the net realized loss from investments to a net realized loss of $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and (iii) a $1.9 million increase in net investment income as discussed above, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in the income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2016. The net realized loss of $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily the result of the net realized loss of $6.9 million on the restructure of two middle market investments, partially offset by (i) the net realized gain of $1.4 million due to activity in our other portfolio and (ii) a realized gain of $1.3 million for additional cash proceeds received in connection with the prior exit of a LMM investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016, we had $24.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $212.0 million of unused capacity under our Credit Facility, which we maintain to support our investment and operating activities.

Several details regarding our capital structure as of December 31, 2016 are as follows:

  • Our Credit Facility included $555.0 million in total commitments from a diversified group of fourteen participating lenders, plus an accordion feature which allows us to increase the total commitments under the facility to up to $750.0 million.
  • $343.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, bearing interest at an annual interest rate of 2.5%.
  • $240.0 million of outstanding SBIC debentures through our three wholly owned SBIC subsidiaries, with $110.0 million of remaining capacity under the permitted maximum of SBIC debentures of $350.0 million. These debentures, which are guaranteed by the SBA, had a weighted average annual fixed interest rate of approximately 4.1% and mature ten years from original issuance. The first maturity related to our SBIC debentures does not occur until 2017, and the weighted average remaining duration was approximately 4.9 years.
  • $175.0 million of notes outstanding that bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per year (the "4.50% Notes"). The 4.50% Notes mature on December 1, 2019 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at our option subject to certain make-whole provisions.
  • $90.7 million of notes outstanding that bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per year (the "6.125% Notes"). The 6.125% Notes mature on April 1, 2023, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option on or after April 1, 2018. The 6.125% Notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol "MSCA."
  • Our net asset value totaled $1,201.5 million, or $22.10 per share.

(a)

We had equity ownership in 99% of our LMM portfolio companies, and the average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was approximately 36%.

(b)

The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments at cost, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments and any debt investments on non-accrual status.

(c)

The average EBITDA is calculated using a simple average for the LMM portfolio and a weighted average for the middle market and private loan portfolios. These calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including five LMM portfolio companies, one middle market portfolio company and three private loan portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for our investments in these portfolio companies.

 

The fair value of our LMM portfolio company equity investments was approximately 172% of the cost of such equity investments and our LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing debt through our debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio of 2.9 to 1.0 and a median total EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.6 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to our debt position, these median ratios were 3.2 to 1.0 and 2.5 to 1.0, respectively.(2) (3) Based upon our internal investment rating system, with a rating of "1" being the highest and a rating of "5" being the lowest, and with all new investments initially rated a "3", the weighted average investment rating for our total LMM investment portfolio was 2.3 and 2.2 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, we had other portfolio investments in ten companies, collectively totaling $100.3 million in fair value and $107.1 million in cost basis, which comprised approximately 5.0% of our investment portfolio at fair value.

As of December 31, 2016, there was no cost basis in our investment in the External Investment Manager and this investment had a fair value of $30.6 million, which comprised approximately 1.5% of our investment portfolio at fair value.

As of December 31, 2016, we had four investments on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 0.6% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and approximately 3.0% of its cost. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 107% of the related cost basis as of December 31, 2016.

External Investment Manager

The External Investment Manager maintains an investment sub-advisory relationship with HMS Income Fund, Inc., a non-listed business development company ("HMS Income"), and earns management fees for the services provided to HMS Income. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the External Investment Manager generated $2.5 million of fee income from this relationship, and HMS Income ended the fourth quarter of 2016 with total assets of over $1.0 billion. The relationship with HMS Income benefited our net investment income by $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 through a $1.4 million reduction of our operating expenses for expenses we allocated to the External Investment Manager for services we provided to it and $0.7 million of dividend income we received from the External Investment Manager.

(1)

Distributable net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. Main Street believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to distributable net investment income is detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.

(2)

Portfolio company financial information has not been independently verified by Main Street.

(3)

These credit statistics exclude certain portfolio companies for which EBITDA is not a meaningful metric for the statistic.

Distributable net investment income is net investment income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. Main Street believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure of information for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to distributable net investment income is presented in the table above.
