Capital Southwest Announces Financial Results for Third Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2015

CSWC Grows Portfolio to $135 million in Invested Assets

Dallas, Texas – February 8, 2016 – Capital Southwest Corporation (“Capital Southwest” or the “Company”; Nasdaq: CSWC) today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Financial Highlights

Total Investment Portfolio: $134.9 million

Total Credit Portfolio: $60.9 million

Total Legacy Equity Portfolio: $45.6 million

Total Investment in I-45 Senior Loan Fund (“I-45 SLF”): $28.4 million

I-45 SLF portfolio consists of $84 million invested in 19 credits, predominantly 1st Lien

During the quarter, we completed the final stage of the planned divestitures of legacy Capital Southwest equity investments, which consisted of $3.2 million in sale proceeds and a realization of $8.2 million in capital losses.

Total divestitures of legacy Capital Southwest equity investments since June 2014 have generated sales proceeds of $222 million and net capital gains of $169 million

Total Cash: $143.7 million

Total Net Assets: $270.8 million

Net Asset Value per Share: $17.22

Weighted Average Yield on Debt Investments: 10.3%

No investment assets currently on non-accrual

Net Investment Loss of ($20) thousand

Net Investment Loss includes $0.7 million of expenses associated with the spin-off

Adjusted for specific spin-off related expenses, Net Investment Income would have been $0.7 million, or $0.04 / share
 

In commenting on the Company’s results, Bowen Diehl, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This quarter marks the end of our transformation to a credit focused BDC.  We have largely completed the immediately planned divestitures of our legacy Capital Southwest equity investments and have made significant progress towards building and managing a diverse portfolio of credit investments.  We saw strong deal flow during 2015, allowing us to make some very interesting investments in high quality companies. We have also been pleased with the ramp of I-45 SLF, which allowed for positive earnings at the fund and a dividend to the I-45 SLF equity holders during its first quarter of operations. Finally, our sizeable liquidity position, between Capital Southwest and I-45 SLF, allowed us to benefit from the recent dislocation in the markets.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company originated four credit investments totaling $18.6 million.  The Company received proceeds related to the sales of certain equity securities in legacy investments totaling $3.2 million and recognized net realized losses on such sales totaling $8.2 million. New investment transactions which occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:

360 Holdings III Corp., $7.0 million 1st Lien Senior Secured Debt: Three Sixty Group is a provider of branded merchandising programs to retailers, offering high-velocity, value-priced, proprietary consumer products and accessories.

Argon Medical Devices, $5.0 million 2nd Lien Senior Secured Debt: Argon is a global manufacturer of single-use specialty medical devices for interventional radiology and cardiology, vascular surgery, and critical care procedures.

Water Pik, Inc., $4.8 million 2nd Lien Senior Secured Debt: Water Pik is the largest designer, marketer, and supplier of branded consumer and professional oral health products and replacement showerheads.

Prepaid Legal Services, Inc., $1.8 million 2nd Lien Senior Secured Debt:  Prepaid Legal is the largest provider of subscription-based legal and identity theft plans to the North American market.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company originated three investments totaling $15.6 million.  New investment transactions subsequent to quarter end are summarized as follows:

Third Fiscal Quarter 2016 Operating Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $3.3 million, compared to $1.1 million in the prior quarter.  The increase in investment income was attributable to both an increase in debt investments outstanding and dividends paid from certain portfolio companies.
 
For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, total expenses (excluding tax expense) were $3.9 million, compared to $10.3 million in the prior quarter.  The decrease in expenses was primarily due to one-time expenses related to the spin-off of CSW Industrials, Inc. (Nasdaq:  CSWI) in the prior quarter, as well as the departure of certain employees that joined CSW Industrials.  In the current quarter, there were $0.7 million of spin-off expenses recorded.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, there was a tax benefit of $0.6 million recorded compared to an expense of $0.1 million in the prior quarter.  The increase was due to tax losses at Capital Southwest Management Company, a wholly-owned management company subsidiary.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, total net investment loss was ($20) thousand compared to a loss of $(9.3) million in the prior quarter.  Excluding specific spin-off related expenses, net investment income was $0.7 million.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, Capital Southwest recorded net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $(1.1) million.  The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $(1.1) million, compared to $(9.0) million in the prior quarter. The prior quarter included $7.9 million in one-time expenses related to the spin-off.

The company’s net asset value, or NAV, at December 31, 2015 was $17.22 per share, as compared to $17.68 at September 30, 2015.  The reduction in NAV was primarily due to the $2.9 million tax paid on behalf of shareholders for net capital gains earned in 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2015 Capital Southwest had unrestricted cash and money market balances of approximately $143.7 million, total assets of approximately $286.6 million, and net assets of approximately $270.8 million.  As of December 31, 2015, Capital Southwest had no borrowings outstanding.

Remarking on the Company’s liquidity position, Michael S. Sarner, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, stated, “This quarter we have continued to execute on our strategy of deploying capital into granular credit investments.  We are thoughtfully constructing a portfolio which will allow us to effectively leverage our balance sheet as we deploy our available capital.   Additionally, we are pleased that we were able to produce positive Net Investment Income before spin-off related expenses in the first quarter post separation.

Share Repurchase Program
 
On January 25th, 2016, Capital Southwest announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of its common stock at prices below the Company’s net asset value per share as reported in its most recent financial statements.  The Board authorized the plan because it believes that the Company’s common stock may be undervalued from time to time due to market volatility.
