FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portman Ridge Finance Corporation

Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Reports Strong Investment Activity and Lower Non-Accruals; Reduces Cost of Capital

Maintains its Quarterly Distribution of $0.63 per Share

NEW YORK, AUGUST 9, 2022 – Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) (the “Company” or “Portman Ridge”) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

 

 

Net asset value (“NAV”) for the second quarter of 2022 was $261.7 million ($27.26 per share1) as compared to $278.3 million ($28.76 per share1) in the first quarter of 2022.

 

 

Total investment income for the second quarter of 2022 was $15.0 million, of which $11.9 million was attributable to interest income from the debt securities portfolio, inclusive of payment-in-kind income.

 

 

Excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, core investment income2 for the second quarter of 2022 was $13.7 million.

 

 

Net investment income (“NII”) for the second quarter of 2022 was $5.5 million ($0.57 per share).

 

 

Additionally, certain investments that closed either at quarter end or shortly thereafter would have generated an incremental $0.10 per share of NII if closed on April 1, 2022.

 

 

As of June 30, 2022, three of the Company’s debt investments were on non-accrual status compared to six as of March 31, 2022.

 

 

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 106,627 of shares under its Stock Repurchase program at an aggregate cost of approximately $2.5 million; since the beginning of the year, the Company has repurchased a total of 129,617 shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $3.0 million.

 

 

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company refinanced its Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank - the agreement placed three-month SOFR as the benchmark interest rate and reduced the applicable margin to 2.80% per annum from 2.85% per annum. Additionally, the Company extended the reinvestment period and scheduled termination date to April 29, 2025 and April 29, 2026, respectively.

 

 

1 

NAV per share as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, was decreased 1 cent and 5 cents per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, due to the impact of quarterly tax provisions.

2 

Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.


 

Total investments at fair value as of June 30, 2022 was $581.5 million; when excluding CLO Funds, Joint Ventures and short-term investments, these investments are spread across 32 different industries and 118 entities with an average par balance per entity of approximately $3.5 million.

 

 

As of June 30, 2022, par value of outstanding borrowings was $364.9 million with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 170%. On a net basis, leverage as of June 30, 2022 was 1.2x. 3

Subsequent Events

 

   

Declared a stockholder distribution of $0.63 per share for the third quarter of 2022, payable on September 2, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2022.

Management Commentary

Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “As seen by many in our industry, our operations have been affected by the challenging economic environment, rising interest rates and market volatility. Operating under these conditions, we continued our strategy of being prudent in our investment strategy and seeking out strong companies to add to our portfolio. As a result, even under these market conditions, we ended the quarter with a strong portfolio, reduced our non-accrual positions and maintained a dividend of $0.63 per share. Investment activity was strong, and although originations are still lower than the second half of 2021, during the second quarter, we deployed approximately $32.9 million of our available cash in new investments and an additional $20.6 million in the beginning of the third quarter, all but $7.2 million of which were investments we had in the pipeline since the end of the first quarter. On the other side of the balance sheet, we proactively restructured our agreement with JPMorgan Chase to lower the interest rate, shift from LIBOR to SOFR, and extend the maturity date by 2 12 years. This restructured agreement has lowered our cost of capital. Overall, we believe that we are well-positioned to improve our portfolio performance and investment income in the second half of 2022.”

 

 

3 

Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $44.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.

As of June 30, 2022, three of the Company’s debt investments were on non-accrual status as compared to six at March 31, 2022 and seven at December 31, 2021. Investments on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2022 decreased to 0.0% and 0.3% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. This compares to investments on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2022 of 0.2% and 1.9% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, and 0.5% and 2.8% as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had $364.9 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.3%, of which $108.0 million par value had a fixed rate and $256.9 million par value had a floating rate. Portman Ridge expects future portfolio investments to predominately be floating rate investments.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash of $22.0 million and restricted cash of $22.0 million. This compares to unrestricted cash of $28.9 million and restricted cash of $39.4 million as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had $21.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, and $25.0 million of borrowing capacity under the 2018-2 Revolving Credit Facility.

Total assets and shareholder’s equity as of June 30, 2022 were $652.8 million and $261.7 million, respectively, as compared to $648.3 million and $280.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

Interest Rate Volatility

The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates.

As of June 30, 2022, approximately 87.5% of our Debt Securities Portfolio were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as LIBOR or the prime rate. 78.4% of these floating rate loans contain LIBOR floors ranging between 0.10% and 2.25%. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments.

In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the portion of debt associated with the 4.875% Notes Due 2026 would remain the same, given that this debt is at a fixed rate, while the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

Generally, an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).

 

     Impact on net investment income from
a change in interest rates at:
 
($ in thousands)    1%      2%      3%  

Increase in interest rate

   $ 2,478      $ 4,098      $ 5,717  

Decrease in interest rate

   $ 1,085      $ 1,133      $ 1,030  

Net investment income assuming a 1% increase in interest rates would increase by approximately $2.5 million on an annualized basis. If the increase in rates was more significant, such as 2% or 3%, the net effect on net investment income would be an increase of approximately $4.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively.


On an annualized basis, a decrease in interest rates of 1% would result in an increase in net investment income of approximately $1.1 million. A decrease in interest rates of 2% and 3% would result in an increase in net investment income of approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The effect on net investment income from declines in interest rates impacted by interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate investments, as there is no floor on our floating rate debt facility and the 2018-2 Secured Notes.

The matters discussed in this presentation, as well as in future oral and written statements by management of Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (“PTMN”, “Portman Ridge” or the “Company”), that are forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and include, but are not limited to, projected financial performance, expected development of the business, plans and expectations about future investments, our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties, the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives, the ability of the Company’s investment adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals, our ability to maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a business development company, our compliance with covenants under our borrowing arrangements, and the future liquidity of the Company. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," “outlook”, "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions, including with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the Company and its portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition.

NAV per share as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, was decreased 1 cent and 5 cents per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, due to the impact of quarterly tax provisions. Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance. Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $44.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition. Quarterly Highlights Q2 2022 Highlights Net asset value (“NAV”) for the second quarter was $261.7 million ($27.26 per share(1)) as compared to $278.3 million ($28.76 per share(1)) in the first quarter of 2022. Total investment income for the second quarter of 2022 was $15.0 million, of which $11.9 million was attributable to interest income from the debt securities portfolio, inclusive of payment-in-kind income. Core investment income(2) for the second quarter of 2022, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, was $13.7 million. Net investment income (“NII”) for the second quarter of 2022 was $5.5 million ($0.57 per share). Additionally, certain investments that closed either at quarter end or shortly thereafter would have generated an incremental $0.10 per share of NII if closed on April 1, 2022. Non-accruals on debt investments, as of June 30, 2022, were reduced to three from six investments as of March 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, debt investments on non-accrual status represented 0.0% and 0.3% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, which compares to 0.2% and 1.9% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. Shares repurchased under the Company’s Renewed Stock Repurchase program were at an aggregate cost of approximately $2.5 million; since the beginning of the year, the Company has repurchased shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $3.0 million. Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank was refinanced during the second quarter - the agreement placed three-month SOFR as the benchmark interest rate and reduced the applicable margin to 2.80% per annum from 2.85% per annum. Additionally, the Company extended the reinvestment period and scheduled termination date to April 29, 2025 and April 29, 2026, respectively. Fair value of investments totaled $581.5 million as of June 30, 2022; when excluding CLO Funds, Joint Ventures and short-term investments, these investments are spread across 32 different industries and 118 entities with an average par balance per entity of approximately $3.5 million. Par value of outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2022 was $364.9 million with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 170%. On a net basis, leverage as of June 30, 2022 was 1.2x. (3)

Financial Highlights Core net investment income represents reported total net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers, while also considering the impact of accretion from these mergers on expenses. Portman Ridge believes presenting core net investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.

Core Earning Analysis Core net investment income represents reported total net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc.
