American Capital Reports $0.17 Net Operating Income Per Diluted Share and $0.43 Net Earnings Per Diluted Share
BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Capital, Ltd. ("ACAS" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ACAS) announced net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $59 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Net earnings (loss) less appreciation and (depreciation) ("Net Realized Loss") for the quarter was $(9) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share and net earnings for the quarter were $149 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.
Q3 2010 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
- $59 million NOI
- 84% increase over Q3 2009
- $158 million net unrealized appreciation of investments
- $(54) million net realized loss on portfolio investments
- $149 million net earnings
- $72 million increase over Q3 2009
- $305 million of cash proceeds from realizations
- $407 million of debt repaid
- Including $200 million of secured debt due 2013
- $9.59 net asset value ("NAV") per share
- $0.44 per share, or 5% increase over Q2 2010
"Our NAV per share grew by $0.44 for the quarter and $1.79 over the last year to $9.59," said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "That is a 19% annualized return on equity for the quarter and 27% total return since the lowpoint of our valuation in Q2 of 2009. We believe the economy is continuing to recover, which should allow our portfolio to improve and for American Capital to experience continued growth in our book value. We invested $63 million during the quarter, including closing three accretive add-on acquisitions for portfolio companies. There are a considerable number of mezzanine and second-lien investment opportunities that we expect will translate into investments over the next year, as the volume of mergers and acquisitions increases."
NET OPERATING INCOME
NOI increased to $59 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $32 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter in 2009.
NET REALIZED LOSS
Net Realized Loss improved to $(9) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $(34) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, for the comparable quarter in 2009.
NET EARNINGS
Net earnings improved to $149 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $77 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter in 2009.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, net unrealized appreciation of investments totaled $158 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
- $44 million of appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, excluding any impact of foreign currency translation on European Capital's cost basis or cumulative unrealized depreciation, primarily due to a decrease to the implied discount to NAV;
- The equity investment in European Capital is valued at $0.5 billion compared to European Capital's NAV of approximately $0.8 billion.
- $10 million of net depreciation of American Capital's private finance portfolio;
- $53 million of net appreciation from foreign currency translation of foreign currency denominated investments, including $47 million related to the translation of European Capital's cost basis and cumulative unrealized depreciation; and
- $44 million of reversals of prior unrealized depreciation associated with net realized losses on portfolio investments.
As of September 30, 2010, NAV per share was $9.59, a 5%, or $0.44 per share, increase from the June 30, 2010 NAV per share of $9.15.
"Our balance sheet continues to strengthen," said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. "Our asset coverage ratio improved to 230% and we repaid $407 million of debt during the quarter, including $200 million of secured debt maturing in 2013. We expect to repay an additional $107 million of this debt in the fourth quarter, which will cause the interest rate to drop to the lowest rate available under the facility. We continue to experience strong liquidity in the portfolio at attractive valuations, which we believe will allow us to invest in new opportunities as well as continuing to make accretive acquisitions for our portfolio companies."
PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND PERFORMANCE
In the third quarter of 2010, $305 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments and exits. The proceeds were 2.9% less than the prior quarter's valuations of the realized investments. The Company made $63 million in new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company's private finance debt investments as of September 30, 2010 was 10.0%, which was 30 basis points lower than the June 30, 2010 rate and 10 basis points higher than the December 31, 2009 rate.
As of September 30, 2010, loans with a fair value of $265 million were on non-accrual, representing 7.8% of total loans at fair value, compared to $308 million fair value of non-accrual loans, representing 8.5% of total loans at fair value as of June 30, 2010.
