| (1) | Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful. |
|
|
||
| (2) | Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS is the net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations less net realized and unrealized gains and losses, any capital gains incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized gains and losses and any income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses, divided by the basic weighted average shares outstanding for the relevant period. Basic GAAP net income (loss) per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Ares Capital believes that Core EPS provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is one method Ares Capital uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of Core EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. |
|
|
||
| (3) | All per share amounts and weighted average shares outstanding are basic. The basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 534 million and 479 million, respectively. |
|
|
||
| (4) | Ares Capital’s diluted GAAP net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.51 and $0.43, respectively. The weighted average shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating the diluted GAAP net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 555 million and 500 million shares, respectively, which includes approximately 21 million shares related to the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible notes. |
|
|
||
| (5) | Includes an additional dividend of $0.03 per share paid on March 31, 2022 to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022. |
|
|
||
| (6) | Computed as total principal debt outstanding less available cash divided by stockholders’ equity. Available cash excludes restricted cash as well as cash held for uses specifically designated for paying interest and expenses on certain debt. |
|
“Our first quarter results reflect a strong start to 2023 with year-over-year growth of more than 35% in core earnings per share,” said Kipp deVeer, Chief Executive Officer of Ares Capital. “With tighter credit conditions prevalent in the market, we believe our ability to provide certainty of execution and flexible capital solutions to borrowers will enhance our competitive position and enable us to make attractive investments for this market cycle.”
“We have further strengthened our balance sheet thus far this year by reducing our leverage and increasing our available liquidity,” said Penni Roll, Chief Financial Officer of Ares Capital. “We believe that our fortified balance sheet with leverage of less than 1.1x net debt to equity leaves us well-positioned to continue to support our existing portfolio companies and to be opportunistic investors in this environment.”

Weighted average yields on debt and other income producing securities are computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount or premium earned on accruing debt and other income producing securities (including the annualized amount of the dividend received by Ares Capital related to its equity investment in IHAM during the most recent quarter end), divided by (b) the total accruing debt and other income producing securities at amortized cost or at fair value (including the amortized cost or fair value of Ares Capital’s equity investment in IHAM as applicable), as applicable. |

Weighted average yields on total investments are computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount or premium earned on accruing debt and other income producing securities (including the annualized amount of the dividend received by Ares Capital related to its equity investment in IHAM during the most recent quarter end), divided by (b) total investments at amortized cost or at fair value, as applicable. |

|
|
(11) |
Includes Ares Capital’s subordinated loan and equity investments in IHAM, as applicable. |

In the first quarter of 2023, Ares Capital made new investment commitments of approximately $766 million, of which approximately $636 million were funded. Total new investment commitments included approximately $283 million of new investment commitments to IHAM. New investment commitments included 8 new portfolio companies and 24 existing portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2023, 218 separate private equity sponsors were represented in Ares Capital’s portfolio. Of the $766 million in new commitments made during the first quarter of 2023, 49% were in first lien senior secured loans, 7% were in subordinated certificates of the Senior Direct Lending Program (the “SDLP”), 3% were in preferred equity, 37% were for Ares Capital’s subordinated loan and equity investments in IHAM and 4% were in other equity. Of these commitments, 73% were in floating rate debt securities, of which 88% contained interest rate floors. Ares Capital may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that Ares Capital will be able to do so. Also in the first quarter of 2023, Ares Capital funded approximately $454 million related to previously existing unfunded revolving and delayed draw loan commitments.
Also in the first quarter of 2023, Ares Capital exited approximately $1.9 billion of investment commitments, including approximately $652 million of loans sold to IHAM or certain vehicles managed by IHAM. Of the total investment commitments exited, 72% were first lien senior secured loans, 10% were senior subordinated loans, 10% were Ares Capital’s subordinated loan investment in IHAM, 6% were preferred equity and 2% were subordinated certificates of the SDLP. Of the approximately $1.9 billion of exited investment commitments, 90% were floating rate, 4% were fixed rate and 6% were non-income producing.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average grade of the portfolio at fair value was 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and loans on non-accrual status represented 2.3% of the total investments at amortized cost (or 1.3% at fair value) and 1.7% at amortized cost (or 1.1% at fair value), respectively. For more information on Ares Capital’s portfolio investment grades and loans on non-accrual status, see “Part I—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Portfolio and Investment Activity” in Ares Capital’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25, 2023.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2023, Ares Capital had $359 million in cash and cash equivalents and $11.2 billion in total aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding ($11.2 billion at carrying value). Subject to borrowing base and other restrictions, Ares Capital had approximately $4.4 billion available for additional borrowings under its existing credit facilities as of March 31, 2023.
In January 2023, Ares Capital and ARCC FB Funding LLC (“AFB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Capital, entered into an agreement to amend AFB’s revolving funding facility (the “BNP Funding Facility”) that among other things, (a) increased the commitments under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and (b) adjusted the interest rate charged on the BNP Funding Facility from an applicable LIBOR or a "base rate" plus a margin of (i) 1.80% during the reinvestment period and (ii) 2.30% following the reinvestment period to an applicable SOFR or a "base rate" plus a margin of (i) 2.30% during the reinvestment period and (ii) 2.80% following the reinvestment period.
In February 2023, Ares Capital repaid in full the $750 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its unsecured notes (the “2023 Notes”) upon their maturity. The 2023 Notes bore interest at a rate of 3.500% per annum, payable semi-annually.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Ares Capital issued and sold approximately 13.2 million shares of common stock under its equity distribution agreements, with net proceeds totaling approximately $253.6 million, after giving effect to sales agents’ commissions and certain estimated offering expenses.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT
In April 2023, Ares Capital amended its Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment, among other things, (a) extended the expiration of the revolving period for lenders electing to extend their revolving commitments in an amount equal to approximately $2.9 billion from March 31, 2026 to April 19, 2027, during which period Ares Capital, subject to certain conditions, may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility, (b) extended the stated maturity date for lenders electing to extend their revolving commitments in an amount equal to approximately $2.9 billion from March 31, 2027 to April 19, 2028 and (c) extended the stated maturity date for $908 million of the lenders electing to extend their term loan commitments from March 31, 2027 to April 19, 2028.

Lenders who elected not to extend their term loan commitments in an amount equal to $50 million, $28 million and $116 million will remain subject to maturity dates of March 30, 2025, March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, respectively.
In April 2023, Ares Capital and AFB entered into an amendment to the BNP Funding Facility. The amendment among other things, (a) increased the commitments under the BNP Funding Facility from $500 million to $790 million, (b) extended the end of the reinvestment period from June 11, 2023 to April 20, 2026, (c) extended the stated maturity date from June 11, 2025 to April 20, 2028 and (d) adjusted the interest rate charged on the BNP Funding Facility from an applicable SOFR or a "base rate" (as defined in the BNP Funding Facility) plus a margin of (i) 2.30% during the reinvestment period and (ii) 2.80% following the reinvestment period to an applicable SOFR or a "base rate" plus a margin of (i) 2.80% during the reinvestment period and (ii) 3.30% following the reinvestment period.
In April 2023, Ares Capital’s board of directors authorized an amendment to Ares Capital’s stock repurchase program to increase the total authorization from $500 million to $1.0 billion. Under the stock repurchase program, Ares Capital may repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at a price per share that meets certain thresholds below its net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by Ares Capital, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors.
From April 1, 2023 through April 19, 2023, Ares Capital made new investment commitments of approximately $369 million, of which $311 million were funded. Of these new commitments, 66% were in first lien senior secured loans and 34% were in second lien senior secured loans. Of the approximately $369 million of new investment commitments, 67% were floating rate and 33% were fixed rate. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at amortized cost was 11.4% and the weighted average yield on total investments funded during the period at amortized cost was 11.3%. Ares Capital may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
From April 1, 2023 through April 19, 2023, Ares Capital exited approximately $397 million of investment commitments, including $4 million of loans sold to IHAM or certain vehicles managed by IHAM. Of the total investment commitments exited, 78% were first lien senior secured loans, 21% were second lien senior secured loans and 1% were senior subordinated loans. Of the approximately $397 million of exited investment commitments, 99% were floating rate and 1% were fixed rate. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 10.8% and the weighted average yield on total investments exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 10.8%. Of the approximately $397 million of investment commitments exited from April 1, 2023 through April 19, 2023, Ares Capital recognized total net realized losses of approximately $1 million, with no realized gains or losses recognized from the sale of loans to IHAM or certain vehicles managed by IHAM.
In addition, as of April 19, 2023, Ares Capital had an investment backlog and pipeline of approximately $310 million and $190 million, respectively. Investment backlog includes transactions approved by Ares Capital’s investment adviser’s investment committee and/or for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore Ares Capital believes are likely to close. Investment pipeline includes transactions where due diligence and analysis are in process, but no formal mandate, letter of intent or signed commitment have been issued. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things, one or more of the following: satisfactory completion of Ares Capital due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, Ares Capital’s acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. In addition, Ares Capital may sell all or a portion of these investments and certain of these investments may result in the repayment of existing investments. Ares Capital cannot assure you that it will make any of these investments or that Ares Capital will sell all or any portion of these investments.

__________________________________________________ |
||
| (1) | Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS is the net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations less net realized and unrealized gains and losses, any capital gains incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized gains and losses and any income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses, divided by the basic weighted average shares outstanding for the relevant period. Basic GAAP net income (loss) per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Ares Capital believes that Core EPS provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is one method Ares Capital uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
|
|
||
| (2) | All per share amounts and weighted average shares outstanding are basic. The basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 534 million and 479 million, respectively. |
|
|
||
| (3) | Ares Capital’s diluted GAAP net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.51 and $0.43, respectively. The weighted average shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating the diluted GAAP net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 555 million and 500 million shares, respectively, which includes approximately 21 million shares related to the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible notes. |
