  • $11.72 NAV per share as of March 31, 2016, or $117.2 million

  • 0.84x debt to equity ratio as of March 31, 2016

"This was an interesting quarter for the loan market," said Mark Pelletier, President and Chief Investment Officer.  "Continuing the trajectory from the fourth quarter, loan prices remained weak at the beginning of the quarter; however, gains in March more than offset the losses in the beginning of the quarter, ultimately closing out the quarter with the first monthly gain since May 2015. While prices in the CLO market continued to experience weakness, issuances began to rebound in March, indicating an improvement in overall market sentiment."

John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President commented, "we were pleased to announce our monthly distributions for May, June, and July 2016 of $0.097 per share. Since our IPO, we have paid $2.58 per share in distributions to our stockholders.  Our current annualized distribution to shareholders represents a 9.9% yield on our March 31, 2016 NAV per share and an 11.6% yield on our March 31, 2016 closing share price."

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of March 31, 2016, the fair market value of ACSF's portfolio totaled $216.0 million and was comprised of $164.2 million (or 76%) of first lien floating rate loans, $17.9 million (or 8%) of second lien floating rate loans (collectively, the "Loan Portfolio") and $33.8 million (or 16%) of CLO equity (the "CLO Portfolio" and, together with the Loan Portfolio, the "Investment Portfolio").  The Investment Portfolio had a yield at cost of 6.4% as of March 31, 2016.

As a result of a decrease in projected future cash flows on the CLO Portfolio, ACSF recorded $1.1 million in credit loss write downs on three CLO equity investments as of March 31, 2016.  The credit loss write downs do not affect the GAAP cost basis on our balance sheet, but do impact the amount of GAAP cost basis that is amortized as cash flows are received on these investments.  ACSF continues to accrete income on these three CLO investments but will amortize $1.1 million less GAAP cost basis over the life of these investments and will record a $1.1 million realized loss upon the sale or redemption of these investments.   ACSF has recorded life-to-date credit loss write downs on the CLO Portfolio of $5.1 million as of March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, ACSF's Loan Portfolio was diversified across 128 issuers and its CLO Portfolio was invested in 22 issuers and 16 collateral managers.  The Investment Portfolio was actively managed during the quarter with $9.0 million of purchases and $23.0 million of sales and repayments.  The following table depicts the Investment Portfolio activity by investment type for the quarter ended March 31, 2016:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Investment Income

Net investment income totaled $2.9 million, or $0.29 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Gross investment income was $4.3 million for the quarter, with $2.7 million, or 62%, generated from the Loan Portfolio and $1.6 million, or 38%, generated from the CLO Portfolio.  Net expenses totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, with interest and other debt related costs of $0.6 million, management fees of $0.5 million and $0.3 million of other operating expenses, net.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain / (Loss) From Investments

Net loss on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $(0.7) million and was comprised of $(0.9) million of net realized losses on sales of investments and $0.2 million of net unrealized appreciation on the portfolio.  The $0.2 million of net unrealized appreciation on the portfolio was driven by $2.8 million of net unrealized appreciation in the Loan Portfolio partially offset by $(2.6) million of net unrealized depreciation in the CLO Portfolio.  The decline in fair value of the CLO Portfolio was a result of a number of factors, including a widening of spreads, credit and downgrade concerns and low trades in CLO equity.  The primary driver for the increase in fair value of the Loan Portfolio was higher prices in the broadly syndicated U.S. loan market.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2016, ACSF's wholly-owned consolidated financing subsidiary, ACSF Funding I, LLC ("ACSF Funding"), had $98.8 million outstanding on its $135.0 million revolving credit facility, resulting in a debt to equity ratio of 0.84x.  As of March 31, 2016, ACSF had $38.8 million of available liquidity consisting of $2.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $36.2 million of available capacity on the ACSF Funding revolving credit facility.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS

On May 2, 2016, the Company announced the declaration of monthly cash distributions to stockholders of $0.097 per share for each of May, June and July 2016.  This cash distribution rate represents a 9.9% annualized yield on the March 31, 2016 NAV per share of $11.72 and an 11.6% annualized yield on the March 31, 2016 closing market price per share of $10.03.  The monthly cash distributions will be paid to common stockholders of record as set forth in the table below:

Since its January 2014 IPO, the Company has declared a total of $28.7 million in cash distributions to stockholders, or $2.87 per share.

ACSF's Board of Directors considers estimated taxable income, GAAP income and economic performance when determining distributions to stockholders.  Actual taxable income may differ from GAAP income due to temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments.   The Company currently expects distributions to stockholders for 2016 to be from ordinary taxable income.  The specific tax characteristics will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year.  For additional detail, please visit the Company's website at www.ACSF.com.
