FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Portman Ridge Finance Corporation
Announces First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Reports Strong Performance with Higher Total Investment Income, Core Investment Income and Net Investment Income Quarter-over-Quarter, While Also Continuing Share Repurchase Program in the First Quarter of 2023
Increases Quarterly Distribution to $0.69 Per Share in the Second Quarter of 2023, Marking the Third Consecutive Quarter of an Increased Stockholder Distribution
NEW YORK, May 10, 2023 – Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) (the “Company” or “Portman Ridge”) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
| • | Total investment income for the first quarter of 2023 was $20.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million as compared to $18.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $3.4 million as compared to $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. |
| • | Core investment income1, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the first quarter of 2023 was $19.3 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $4.2 million as compared to $15.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. |
| • | Net investment income (“NII”) for the first quarter of 2023 was $8.5 million ($0.89 per share), an increase of $1.4 million as compared to $7.1 million ($0.74 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.6 million as compared to $7.9 million ($0.82 per share) for the first quarter of 2022. |
| • | Total shares repurchased in open market transactions under the Renewed Stock Repurchase Program during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were 35,613 at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.8 million. |
Subsequent Events
| • | Increased stockholder distribution of $0.69 per share for the second quarter of 2023, payable on May 31, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2023. This is a $0.01 per share distribution increase as compared to the first quarter of 2023 and a $0.06 per share distribution increase as compared to the second quarter of 2022. This also marks the third consecutive quarter of a stockholder distribution increase and the fifth stockholder distribution increase over the last seven quarters. |
| 1 | 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. |
Management Commentary
| • | Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “Continuing off the back of strong earnings momentum seen in fiscal year 2022, we are pleased to report yet another strong quarter of financial performance in the first quarter of 2023. Our total investment income, core investment income and net investment income for the first quarter of 2023 all increased in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2023, as we continue to see the impact that rising rates have had in generating incremental revenue from our debt portfolio investments. We believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities that arise from the current market environment by continuing to be selective and resourceful in our investment decision-making. Overall, our strong performance this past quarter has allowed us to raise our dividend for the third consecutive quarter to $0.69 per share and we believe we remain situated to continue to deliver attractive returns to our shareholders throughout 2023.” |
Selected Financial Highlights
| • | Total investments at fair value as of March 31, 2023 was $539.1 million; when excluding CLO funds, Joint Ventures, and short-term investments, these investments are spread across 28 different industries and 106 different entities with an average par balance per entity of approximately $3.3 million. This compares to $576.5 million of total investments at fair value (excluding derivatives) as of December 31, 2022, comprised of investments in 119 different entities (excluding CLO funds, Joint Ventures, and short-term investments). |
| • | Weighted average contractual interest rate on our interest earning Debt Securities Portfolio as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately 11.7% and 11.1%, respectively. |
| • | Non-accruals on debt investments, as of March 31, 2023, were five debt investments, which compares to four debt investments on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2022 and six debt investments on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, debt investments on non-accrual status represented 0.3% and 1.5% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. This compares to debt investments on non-accrual status representing 0.0% and 0.6% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and 0.2% and 1.9% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. |
| • | Net asset value (“NAV”) for the first quarter of 2023 was $225.1 million ($23.56 per share) as compared to $232.1 ($24.23 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2022. |
| • | Par value of outstanding borrowings, as of March 31, 2023, was $358.3 million with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 162%. On a net basis, leverage as of March 31, 2023 was 1.39x2 compared to net leverage of 1.49x2 as of December 31, 2022. |
| 2 | 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 $46.1 million and $33.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $358.3 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%, of which $108.0 million par value had a fixed rate and $250.3 million par value had a floating rate. This balance was comprised of $79.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, $171.3 million of 2018-2 Secured Notes due 2029, and $108.0 million of 4.875% Notes due 2026.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash of $11.9 million and restricted cash of $34.2 million. This compares to unrestricted cash of $5.1 million and restricted cash of $28.0 million as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $36.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, and no remaining borrowing capacity under the 2018-2 Secured Notes.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates.
As of March 31, 2023, approximately 89.2% of our Debt Securities Portfolio at par value were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as LIBOR or the prime rate. 77.4% of these floating rate loans contain LIBOR floors ranging between 0.50% and 2.00%. 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, the Company would expect that 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).

(1) § Core total investment income , excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the first quarter of 2023 was $19.3 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $4.2 million as compared to $15.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. § Net investment income (“NII”) for the first quarter of 2023 was $8.5 million ($0.89 per share), an increase of $1.4 million as compared to $7.1 million ($0.74 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.6 million as compared to $7.9 million ($0.82 per share) for the first quarter of 2022. § Total shares repurchased in open market transactions under the Renewed Stock Repurchase Program during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were 35,613 at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.8 million. § Total investments at fair value as of March 31, 2023 was $539.1 million; when excluding CLO funds, Joint Ventures, and short-term investments, these investments are spread across 28 different industries and 106 different entities with an average par balance per entity of approximately $3.3 million. This compares to $576.5 million of total investments at fair value (excluding derivatives) as of December 31, 2022, comprised of investments in 119 different entities (excluding CLO funds, Joint Ventures, and short-term investments). § Weighted average contractual interest rate on our interest earning Debt Securities Portfolio as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately 11.7% and 11.1%, respectively. § Non-accruals on debt investments, as of March 31, 2023, were five debt investments, which compares to four debt investments on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2022 and six debt investments on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, debt investments on non-accrual status represented 0.3% and 1.5% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. This compares to debt investments on non-accrual status representing 0.0% and 0.6% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and 0.2% and 1.9% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. § Net asset value (“NAV”) for the first quarter of 2023 was $225.1 million ($23.56 per share) as compared to $232.1 ($24.23 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2022. § Par value of outstanding borrowings, as of March 31, 2023, was $358.3 million with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 162%. On a net basis, (2) (2) leverage as of March 31, 2023 was 1.39x compared to net leverage of 1.49x as of December 31, 2022. § Increased Stockholder distribution from $0.63 in the second quarter of 2022 to $0.69 in the second quarter of 2023. The latest increase to $0.69 represents three consecutive quarters of stockholder distribution increases and the fifth stockholder distribution increase over the last seven quarters. (1) 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 3 financial performance. (2) 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 $46.1 million and $33.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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.
