BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Capital, Ltd. ("American Capital" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ACAS) announced net operating income ("NOI") before income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 of $66 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.  NOI after income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $51 million, or $0.18 per diluted share and net earnings were $114 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.  As of September 30, 2014, net asset value ("NAV") per share was $20.54, a $0.42 per share, or 2%, increase from the June 30, 2014 NAV per share of $20.12, and a $1.00 per share, or 5%, increase from the September 30, 2013 NAV per share of $19.54.

Q3 2014 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

  • $20.54 NAV per share
    • $0.42 per share, or 8% annualized increase over Q2 2014
    • $1.00 per share, or 5% increase over Q3 2013
    • $1.57 per share, or 11% annualized increase over Q4 2013
  • $0.24 NOI before income taxes per diluted share, or $66 million
    • 40% increase from Q3 2013
    • $0.18 NOI after income taxes per diluted share, or $51 million
  • $0.41 net earnings per diluted share, or $114 million
    • 9% annualized return on average shareholders' equity  
    • $0.41 per diluted share, or $115 million, improvement over Q3 2013
  • $1,142 million of cash proceeds from realizations
    • $127 million dividend distribution from European Capital Limited ("European Capital")
    • $540 million of proceeds from the companies sold in the American Capital Equity III, LP ("ACE III") transaction
  • $1,443 million in new committed investments
    • $825 MM investment in Senior Floating Rate Loans
    • $618 MM of investments primarily in Sponsor Finance, Structured Products and American Capital Asset Management, LLC ("ACAM")

"We are pleased that NAV per share grew 8% annualized during the quarter to $20.54, and year-to-date at an 11% annualized rate," said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "During the quarter, we had $1.1 billion in realizations at excellent exit values, which were, in aggregate, 8% greater than the prior quarter's fair value.  We invested $825 million in Senior Floating Rate Loans and $618 million of investments in total for Sponsor Finance Loans, CLO equity and ACAM.  European Capital continued to generate significant liquidity, distributing to American Capital $127 million this quarter and $265 million year-to-date.  And, this quarter ACAM raised a $1.1 billion private equity fund and a new $619 million CLO.  This was a very good quarter for American Capital."

"I would also like to direct investors to a release we made earlier today in which we announced that our Board of Directors has approved spinning off our investment assets to our shareholders in the form of two publicly-traded externally-managed BDCs, with American Capital then focused on externally managing permanent capital companies and other investment vehicles," said Malon Wilkus.  "Subsequent to the spin offs of these two new BDCs, based on the equity capital now available for each company, we would be managing five public and nine private funds with Earning Assets Under Management ("EAUM") approximating $19 billion, of which 83% would be permanent capital companies.  While we've made good progress in evaluating and preparing for the transaction, and we expect to make necessary filings with the SEC as soon as practicable, there can be no assurances regarding the timing of the spin offs, whether the spin offs will be completed or what their tax treatment will be."

PORTFOLIO VALUATION

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, net unrealized appreciation, before income taxes, totaled $58 million.  The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:

  • $110 million net unrealized appreciation from American Capital One Stop Buyouts® as a result of improved portfolio company performance; partially offset by
  • $35 million of reversal of prior period unrealized appreciation associated with net realized gains on portfolio investments;
  • $16 million net unrealized depreciation in Senior Floating Rate Loans;
  • $14 million net unrealized depreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, driven by foreign currency net depreciation of $51 million as a result of a weakening of the Euro partially offset by a reduction in the discount applied to the NAV of European Capital.
    • The Company's equity investment in European Capital was valued at $678 million as of September 30, 2014, or 89% of NAV, compared to $827 million as of June 30, 2014, or 87% of NAV.

PORTFOLIO REALIZATIONS AND PERFORMANCE

In the third quarter of 2014, $1,142 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments, including a dividend distribution of $127 million from European Capital and $540 million of proceeds from the companies sold in the ACE III transaction, a new private equity fund, which closed on September 23, 2014.  American Capital made $1.4 billion in new committed investments during the quarter, including $825 million in broadly syndicated senior floating rate loans ("Senior Floating Rate Loans").  The Company's investments in Senior Floating Rate Loans consist primarily of first lien loans to large market, U.S. based companies. 

On April 28, 2014, American Capital entered into definitive agreements to establish American Capital Equity III, LP ("ACE III" or "the Fund"), a new $1.1 billion private equity fund focused on investing in U.S. companies in the lower middle market.  ACE III will be managed by American Capital's wholly-owned portfolio company, ACAM, through a majority-owned affiliate, in exchange for a 2% annual management fee and up to a 30% carried interest in the net profits of ACE III, subject to certain hurdles.  Pursuant to the Fund's partnership agreement, $445 million of the Fund's aggregate $1.1 billion capital commitment from investors, which includes a commitment of $200 million from ACAM, will generally be used by ACE III to make new control equity and equity-related investment in companies.  ACE III acquired a portfolio of equity investments from American Capital and an option to purchase the equity interest of another portfolio company.  On September 23, 2014, American Capital received $540 million of proceeds from the companies sold in the ACE III transaction.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, American Capital recognized a net realized gain of $62 million on the transaction comprised of a $107 million net realized gain on the redemption of our partnership interest in ACE III and a realized loss of $45 million related to the fair value of the equity option as of the closing date of the transaction.

The weighted average effective interest rate on American Capital's debt investments as of September 30, 2014 was 6.8%, 100 basis points lower than the June 30, 2014 rate of 7.8%.  The primary driver of the decline in the weighted average effective interest rate was related to new investments in Senior Floating Rate Loans during the quarter.

As of September 30, 2014, loans with a fair value of $172 million were on non-accrual, representing 5.7% of total loans at fair value, compared to $171 million fair value of non-accrual loans, or 7.5% of total loans at fair value as of June 30, 2014.  Total loans on non-accrual were valued at 67.2% of cost at the end of the quarter, a 10.0% increase from the prior quarter.  This is an estimate of the amount the Company expects to recover on non-accruing loans.  The estimated loss on total loans at cost, defined as net accumulated depreciation on non-accrual loans plus realized losses on loans during the period, was $108 million, or 3.7%.  Net operating income before income taxes of $0.24 per diluted share during the quarter was increased by $0.08 per diluted share due to the net impact of debt and equity securities being added and removed from non-accrual status.

"We made good progress during the quarter investing in assets that will be attractive to the BDCs we are planning to spin off to our shareholders," said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer and President, Structured Finance.  "We invested $825 million in Senior Floating Rate Loans, which have grown to 21% of our balance sheet since March.  We also closed a $500 million facility to finance the loans at attractive terms.  Those actions combined with our plans to fund our buyouts as cash yielding One Stop Buyouts throughout the capital structure are key steps to our strategic plan.  While we have more work to transition the balance sheet, we are pleased with the progress and confident we can continue to execute on the plan."

3)

IRR calculations are based on a sequence of cash proceeds invested, cash realizations or non-cash consideration received, and the terminal value of an investment over time.  For exited investments, the terminal value is the total cash realization received upon exit.  This includes fully exited investments of existing portfolio companies.  Additionally, IRR calculations exclude securities traded but not yet settled at period end.

Adjusted EBITDA may reflect certain adjustments to the reported EBITDA of a portfolio company for non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items or other pro-forma items or events to normalize current earnings which a buyer may consider in a change in control transactions. These adjustments may be material and are highly subjective in nature. Portfolio company reported EBITDA is for the most recently available twelve months, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months or current annualized run-rate.

9)

Debt, which represents the debt and other liabilities senior to ACAS and the total of ACAS's debt in each portfolio company's debt capitalization, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. For portfolio companies with a nominal Adjusted EBITDA amount, the portfolio company's maximum debt leverage is limited to 15 times Adjusted EBITDA.
