BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results Including Net Investment Income of $0.48 Per Share; Declares Third Quarter Dividend of $0.34 Per Share and a Special Dividend of $0.10 Per Share

BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “TCPC” or the “Company”), a business development company (NASDAQ: TCPC), today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $27.6 million, or $0.48 per share on a diluted basis, which exceeded the dividend of $0.34 per share paid on June 30, 2023. This represents 45 consecutive quarters of dividend coverage.
  • Net asset value per share was $12.94 at June 30, 2023 compared to $13.00 at March 31, 2023.
  • Net increase in net assets from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $16.3 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to $22.7 million, or $0.39 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Net increase in net assets from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $39.0 million, or $0.67 per share.
  • Total acquisitions during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were $17.1 million and total dispositions were $31.6 million.
  • As of June 30, 2023, the credit quality of the portfolio remained strong with debt investments in just two portfolio companies on non-accrual status, representing 0.3% of the portfolio at fair value and 0.5% at cost.
  • On August 3, 2023, our board of directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.34 per share and a special dividend of $0.10 per share, both payable on September 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2023.

“We again generated strong net investment income as our predominantly floating rate portfolio benefited from rising base rates. Our overall effective yield increased to 13.8% for the second quarter, up from 9.8% a year earlier,” said Rajneesh Vig, BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Chairman and CEO. “While overall deal activity is relatively muted, our pipeline is healthy due to our team’s deep experience investing across cycles and our ability to draw upon the power of the BlackRock platform. We remain encouraged by the compelling opportunities we are identifying."

“Importantly, as we prudently build and diversify the portfolio, we are maintaining a sharp focus on our consistent, conservative approach to underwriting and selective investing to ensure solid credit quality as we navigate an uncertain economic environment,” Vig added. “We conduct a thorough review of our entire portfolio every quarter to stay ahead of any potential issues, and we continue to emphasize investments in companies that operate in resilient and less cyclical industries.”

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of June 30, 2023, our investment portfolio consisted of debt and equity positions in 143 portfolio companies with a total fair value of approximately $1.6 billion, 88.4% of which was senior secured debt. 75.9% of the total portfolio was first lien. Equity positions, which include equity interests in diversified portfolios of debt and lease assets, represented approximately 11.6% of the portfolio. 93.7% of our debt investments were floating rate, 94.8% of which had interest rate floors.

As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average annual effective yield of our debt portfolio was approximately 13.8%(1) and the weighted average annual effective yield of our total portfolio was approximately 12.8%, compared with 13.1% and 12.3%, respectively, as of March 31, 2023. Debt investments in two portfolio companies were on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2023, representing 0.3% of the portfolio at fair value and 0.5% at cost.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we invested approximately $17.1 million, primarily in 4 investments, comprised of 2 new and 2 existing portfolio companies. Of these investments, $15.9 million, or 93.2% of total acquisitions, was in senior secured loans, and $1.2 million, or 6.8% of total acquisitions, was comprised primarily of equity investments. Additionally, we received approximately $31.6 million in proceeds from sales or repayments of investments during the three months ended June 30, 2023. New investments during the quarter had a weighted average effective yield of 14.1%. Investments we exited had a weighted average effective yield of 12.2%. We expect to continue to invest in senior secured loans, bonds and subordinated debt, as well as select equity investments, to obtain a high level of current income, with an emphasis on principal protection.

As of June 30, 2023, total assets were $1.8 billion, net assets were $747.6 million and net asset value per share was $12.94, as compared to $1.8 billion, $751.0 million, and $13.00 per share, respectively, as of March 31, 2023.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $54.0 million, or $0.93 per share. Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included $0.01 per share from recurring original issue discount and exit fee amortization, $0.07 per share from interest income paid in kind, $0.02 per share in dividend income and $0.00 per share of other income. This reflects our policy of recording interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts, on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment, and similar upfront fees received in connection with the outlay of capital are generally amortized into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $26.4 million, or $0.46 per share, including interest and other debt expenses of $12.3 million, or $0.21 per share, and incentive compensation from net investment income of $5.9 million, or $0.10 per share. Excluding incentive compensation, interest and other debt expenses, annualized second quarter expenses were 4.3% of average net assets.

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $27.6 million, or $0.48 per share. Net realized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share. Net unrealized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $11.0 million, or $0.19 per share. Net realized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were comprised primarily of a $0.3 million loss from the exit of our investment in Libremax. Net unrealized losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily reflects a $3.9 million unrealized loss on our investment in Astra Acquisition, a $3.4 million unrealized loss on our investment in Thras.io, a $3.4 million unrealized loss on our investment in Hylan, a $2.2 million unrealized loss on our investment in Magenta Buyer, a $1.8 million unrealized loss on our investment in GACP II, partially offset by a $6.3 million unrealized gain on our investment in Aventiv Technologies. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $16.3 million, or $0.28 per share.
