  • $12.7 million from the sale of the remaining second lien investments in Expert Global Solutions, Inc.; and
  • $4.3 million from the sale of a remaining second lien investment in BBB Industries, Inc.


These transactions bring the total fair value of THL Credit’s investment portfolio to $754.2 million across 55 portfolio investments at the end of the fourth quarter.

The weighted average yield on new investments made in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 10.5 percent. As of Dec. 31, 2015, the weighted average yield of the debt and income-producing securities in the investment portfolio at their current cost basis was 11.2 percent (11.3 percent including Logan JV).  The weighted average yield on the debt investments alone at their current cost basis was 11.0 percent.  As of Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit had two loans on non-accrual status with an aggregate amortized cost of $25.0 million and fair value of $13.9 million, or 3.3 percent and 1.8 percent of the portfolio’s amortized cost and fair value, respectively. As of Dec. 31, 2015, 78 percent of its debt investments bore interest based on floating rates (subject to interest rate floors), such as LIBOR, and 22 percent bore interest at fixed rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investment income 

Total investment income for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014 was $23.6 million and $24.1 million, respectively, and consisted of $18.7 million and $20.5 million of interest income on debt securities (which included PIK interest of $1.0 million and $0.6 million and prepayment premiums of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively), $2.3 million and $0.1 million of dividend income, $1.7 million and $2.0 million of interest income on other income-producing securities, and $0.9 million and $1.5 million of other income, primarily related to fees from THL Credit’s managed vehicles, respectively.

The decrease in investment income was primarily due to the contraction of the portfolio between the respective periods as a result of prepayments and sales as well as lower other income related to THL Credit’s managed vehicles. This was offset by $0.9 million of one-time interest income from the recognition of deferred revenue from a prior investment and dividend income from Logan JV and other portfolio investments.

Total investment income for the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014 was $94.2 million and $91.9 million, respectively, and consisted of $75.7 million and $76.6 million of interest income on debt securities (which included PIK interest of $3.9 million and $2.3 million and prepayment premiums of $0.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively), $4.9 million and $3.1 million of dividend income, $7.8 million and $7.2 million of interest income on other income-producing securities and $5.8 million and $5.0 million of other income, primarily related to fees from THL Credit’s managed vehicles, respectively.

The increase in investment income from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to the increase in dividend income related to the Logan JV and other income related to fees earned on certain portfolio investments. This increase was offset by lower fees from THL Credit’s managed funds.

Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014 were $11.5 million and $11.7 million, respectively.  For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, base management fees were $2.9 million and $2.8 million, incentive fees were $3.0 million and $3.2 million, administrator and other expenses were $2.2 million and $2.5 million and fees and expenses related to THL Credit’s credit facility were $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively. In addition, for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit recorded an income tax (benefit) provision related to its consolidated blocker corporations, excise and other taxes of ($0.1) million and $0.0 million, respectively.

The decrease in operating expenses was due to a decrease in incentive fees as well as administrator and other expenses, as a result of restructuring fees recognized in 2014. This was offset by an increase in borrowing expenses.

Expenses for the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014 were $46.6 million and $43.7 million, respectively. For the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, base management fees were $11.8 million and $11.1 million, incentive fees were $11.9 million and $11.2 million, administrator and other expenses were $8.6 million and $9.3 million and fees and expenses related to THL Credit’s credit facility for the same periods were $14.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively. In addition, for the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit recorded an income tax (benefit) provision related to its consolidated blocker corporations, excise and other taxes of ($0.2) million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The increase in operating expenses from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to the increase in interest and fees on borrowings as result of increased credit facility commitments and average outstanding borrowings as well as higher management and incentive fees.  These increases were offset by lower other expenses as a result of lower professional fees, related to a restructured investment for the year ended December 31, 2014, and a lower tax provision associated with THL Credit’s blocker corporations.

Net investment income
Net investment income totaled $12.1 million and $12.4 million for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, or $0.36 and $0.37 per share based upon 33,332,744 and 33,905,202 weighted average common shares outstanding, respectively.

The decrease in net investment income is primarily attributable to lower investment income as a result of portfolio contraction during 2015.

Net investment income totaled $47.6 million and $48.2 million for the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, or $1.41 and $1.42 per share based upon 33,636,806 and 33,905,202 weighted average common shares outstanding, respectively.

The decrease in net investment income from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to the increase in borrowing costs and higher management and incentive fees.  The decrease was offset by an increase in investment income from the portfolio and a favorable income tax benefit in 2015 compared to the prior period.

Net realized gains and losses on investments, net of income tax provision
For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit recognized net realized loss on portfolio investments of $0.1 million, primarily related to the losses on the sale of certain debt and equity investments. For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2014, THL Credit recognized a net realized loss of $11.8 million primarily related to the $11.9 million loss recognized on the conversion of a subordinated debt investment into a controlling equity ownership interest as part of a restructuring.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit recognized a realized gain of $0.2 million primarily related to gains from the sale of debt and equity investments, offset by other nominal losses. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, THL Credit recognized a realized loss of $12.9 million related primarily to realized losses recognized on converting subordinated debt investments and warrants into controlling equity ownership interests as part of investment restructurings as well as a loss on an escrow.

Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments
For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit’s investment portfolio had a net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation of ($15.6) million and $5.2 million, respectively. For the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit’s investment portfolio had a net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation of ($17.9) million and $2.2 million, respectively.

The net change in unrealized appreciation on the investments was driven primarily by changes in the capital market conditions and financial performance of certain portfolio companies, including two portfolio companies where loans are on non-accrual status at December 31, 2015.

Provision for taxes on unrealized gain on investments
For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit recognized a provision for tax on unrealized gains of $0.6 million and $0.8 million related to consolidated subsidiaries, respectively. For the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, the provision for taxes on unrealized gain on investments was $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The change in provision for tax on unrealized gains on investments relates primarily to changes to the unrealized appreciation of the investments held in taxable consolidated subsidiaries, other temporary differences and the change in prior year estimates received from certain portfolio companies.

Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate derivative
For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit’s interest rate derivative agreement had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $0.3 million and ($0.1) million, respectively. For the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit’s interest rate derivative agreement had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $0.01 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The net change in unrealized depreciation was due to capital market changes impacting swap rates.

For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit recognized a realized loss related to amounts paid on the interest rate derivative of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, THL Credit recognized a realized loss related to amounts paid on the interest rate derivative of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

The changes were due to capital market changes impacting swap rates.

Change in net assets resulting from operations
Change in net assets resulting from operations totaled ($4.0) million and $4.7 million, or ($0.12) and $0.13 per share based upon 33,332,744 and 33,905,202 weighted average common shares outstanding, for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the respective periods is due primarily to unrealized losses in the portfolio.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations totaled $28.2 million and $36.8 million, or $0.84 and $1.08 per share based upon 33,636,806 and 33,905,202 weighted average common shares outstanding, for the years ended Dec. 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The decrease in net assets resulting from operations between the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 is due primarily to unrealized losses in the portfolio and taxes on unrealized gains on investments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, INCLUDING LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit had cash of $3.9 million. THL Credit’s liquidity and capital resources are derived from its credit facilities, equity and debt raises and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned.  THL Credit’s primary use of funds includes making investments in portfolio companies, payment of dividends to stockholders and funding operating expenses.  THL Credit used, and expects to continue to use, these capital resources, together with proceeds from the turnover within the portfolio and from future public and private offerings of securities to finance its investment objectives.

On Dec. 14, 2015, THL Credit closed a public offering of 6.75% notes due in 2022 (“2022 Notes”), in the aggregate amount of $35.0 million following the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Notes, after underwriting discounts, were approximately $34.0 million. THL Credit used all of the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

As of Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit had $343.7 million in outstanding borrowings, which was comprised of $106.5 million outstanding on the term loan facility and $152.2 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility, and $85.0 million outstanding of notes payable outstanding. As of Dec. 31, 2015, borrowings outstanding had a weighted average interest rate of 3.96 percent.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, THL operating activities provided cash of $58.5 million primarily from the sales of investments, its financing activities used $36.2 million to repay borrowings on its credit facility, primarily from the net proceeds of the $35.0 million from the 2022 Notes, $45.6 million for distributions to stockholders, $7.3 million to repurchase common stock and $3.2 million for payment of financing and offering costs.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, THL Credit’s operating activities used cash of $95.9 million primarily in connection with the purchase of investments and its financing activities provided cash of $90.6 million from the net borrowings and $50.0 million from the issuance of unsecured notes, and used $46.1 million for distributions to stockholders and $3.7 million for the payment of financing and offering costs.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

For the three month period ended Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit repurchased 0.03 million shares of its common stock at an average price of approximately $10.84 per share, inclusive of commissions, or a weighted average discount to its Sep. 30, 2015 net asset value of 16.9 percent. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased during the three month period ended Dec. 31, 2015 was $0.3 million.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, THL Credit repurchased 0.6 million shares of its common stock at an average price of approximately $12.27 per share, inclusive of commissions, or a weighted average discount to its net asset value of 7.4 percent. The total dollar amount of shares repurchased during the year ended Dec. 31, 2015 was $7.3 million.

These repurchases were completed pursuant to a stock repurchase program authorized by THL Credit’s board of directors on March 6, 2015 that was put into effect in May 2015. This stock repurchase program terminated on March 6, 2016. On March 8, 2016, THL Credit’s board of directors authorized a new $25.0 million stock repurchase program.
