BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results Including Net Investment Income of $0.49 Per Share; Declares Fourth Quarter Dividend of $0.34 Per Share and a Special Dividend of $0.25 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 third quarter ended September 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 September 30, 2023 was $28.3 million, or $0.49 per share on a diluted basis, which exceeded the regular quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share paid on September 29, 2023. This represents 46 consecutive quarters of dividend coverage.
  • Net asset value per share was $12.72 at September 30, 2023 compared to $12.94 at June 30, 2023.
  • Net increase in net assets from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $12.8 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to $16.3 million, or $0.28 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Net increase in net assets from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $51.8 million, or $0.90 per share.
  • Total acquisitions during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $92.4 million and total dispositions were $125.6 million.
  • In October, Moody’s reaffirmed the Company’s investment-grade rating with stable outlook.
  • As of September 30, 2023, three portfolio companies are on non-accrual status, representing 1.1% of the portfolio at fair value and 1.7% at cost.
  • On August 4, 2023, the Funding Facility II was amended to extend the maturity date from August 4, 2025 to August 4, 2027. As part of the amendment, the interest rate was revised to SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.15%, plus a margin of 2.05%.
  • On November 2, 2023, our board of directors declared a fourth quarter regular dividend of $0.34 per share and a special dividend of $0.25 per share, both payable on December 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 2023.
  • As previously disclosed, on September 6, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“BCIC”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of TCPC (“Merger Sub”), subject to shareholder approval, customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Following the merger, TCPC will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “TCPC” and the Merger Sub will continue as a subsidiary of TCPC.

“We generated another strong quarter of earnings, with net investment income up 17% year-over-year, as we capitalized on the floating rate nature of our portfolio and the higher proportion of our liabilities that are fixed rate,” said Rajneesh Vig, BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. Chairman and CEO. “We selectively identified compelling new investment opportunities and funded a number of growth initiatives with our existing portfolio companies. The credit quality of our diverse portfolio of 143 companies also remains strong.”

“Importantly, we are excited about the proposed merger with BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation, which will drive further scale for TCPC,” Vig added. “The proposed merger brings together two similar portfolios that we know well as the same investment team has been managing both portfolios for many years. We believe the transaction positions the combined companies for sustained growth and would create meaningful value for shareholders, resulting from more efficient access to capital, the potential for improved trading dynamics, combined operating efficiencies, and a base management fee reduction in conjunction with a successful closing of the transaction.”

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of September 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, 88.7% of which was senior secured debt. 76.1% of the total portfolio was first lien. Equity positions, which include equity interests in diversified portfolios of debt, represented approximately 11.3% of the portfolio. 94.9% of our debt investments were floating rate, 94.8% of which had interest rate floors.

As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average annual effective yield of our debt portfolio was approximately 14.1%(1) and the weighted average annual effective yield of our total portfolio was approximately 13.2%, compared with 13.8% and 12.8%, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. Debt investments in three portfolio companies were on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2023, representing 1.1% of the portfolio at fair value and 1.7% at cost.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we invested approximately $92.4 million, primarily in 8 investments, comprised of 4 new and 4 existing portfolio companies. Of these investments, $91.5 million, or 99.0% of total acquisitions, was in senior secured loans, and $0.9 million, or 1.0% of total acquisitions, was comprised primarily of equity investments. Additionally, we received approximately $125.6 million in proceeds from sales or repayments of investments during the three months ended September 30, 2023. New investments during the quarter had a weighted average effective yield of 14.8%. Investments we exited had a weighted average effective yield of 12.7%. 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 September 30, 2023, total assets were $1.7 billion, net assets were $735.0 million and net asset value per share was $12.72, as compared to $1.8 billion, $747.6 million, and $12.94 per share, respectively, as of June 30, 2023.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $54.2 million, or $0.94 per share. Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included $0.03 per share from recurring original issue discount and exit fee amortization, $0.06 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 September 30, 2023 were approximately $25.9 million, or $0.45 per share, including interest and other debt expenses of $12.1 million, or $0.21 per share, and incentive compensation from net investment income of $6.0 million, or $0.10 per share. Excluding incentive compensation, interest and other debt expenses, annualized third quarter expenses were 4.2% of average net assets.

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $28.3 million, or $0.49 per share. Net realized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share. Net unrealized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $15.4 million, or $0.27 per share. Net unrealized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were comprised of a $4.5 million unrealized loss on our investment in Edmentum, a $4.0 million unrealized loss on our investment in Khoros, a $3.6 million unrealized loss on our investment in Magenta Buyer, a $2.5 million unrealized loss on our investment in 36th Street Capital, a $2.4 million unrealized loss on our investment in Hylan, a $2.2 million unrealized loss on our investment in CIBT, offset by a $3.2 million unrealized gain on our investment in Astra Acquisition. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $12.8 million, or $0.22 per share.

__________________________

(1) Weighted average annual effective yield includes amortization of deferred debt origination and end-of-term fees and accretion of original issue discount, but excludes market discount and any prepayment and make-whole fee income. The weighted average effective yield on our debt portfolio excludes any debt investments that are distressed or on non-accrual status.

As of September 30, 2023, available liquidity was approximately $352.9 million, comprised of approximately $261.2 million in available capacity under our leverage program and $91.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.

MERGER AGREEMENT

As previously disclosed, on September 6, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“BCIC”), BCIC Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (formerly known as Project Spurs Merger Sub, LLC, “Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, (x) BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and investment adviser to BCIC (“BCIA”), and (y) Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Company’s Board of Directors and the BCIC Board of Directors, including all of the independent directors of each board, on the recommendation of a special committee comprised solely of the independent directors of each respective board, have approved the Merger Agreement and the terms and transactions contemplated thereby. For more information, please refer to the Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 6, 2023.

On October 6, 2023, the Company filed a preliminary registration statement on Form N-14, which included a joint proxy statement of the Company and BCIC and the Company’s prospectus. The registration statement on Form N-14 is subject to review by the SEC. Once the registration statement on Form N-14 is declared effective, we will file the final joint proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC and begin mailing proxies to stockholders. The transaction is subject to approval by our and BCIC’s stockholders, customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Assuming these conditions are satisfied, the transaction is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2024. For more information, please refer to the Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 6, 2023 and the joint proxy statement on Form N-14, as filed with the SEC on October 6, 2023.

In connection with entry into the Merger Agreement and subject to closing of the merger, the Advisor has agreed reduce its base management fee rate for managing the Company from 1.50% to 1.25% on assets equal to or below 200% of the net asset value of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, the base management fee rate on assets that exceed 200% of the net asset value of the Company would remain 1.00%) with no change to the basis of calculation.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On November 2, 2023, our board of directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.34 per share and a special dividend of $0.25 per share, both payable on December 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 2023.
