Third Fiscal Quarter 2017 Operating Results

For the quarter ended December 31,  2016, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $6.9 million, compared to $4.7 million in the prior quarter.  The increase in investment income was attributable to an increase in average debt investments outstanding, an increase in the weighted average yield on debt investments, and an increase in dividends paid from I-45 SLF.  

For the quarter ended December 31,  2016, total operating expenses (excluding tax and interest expense) were $3.1 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior quarter.  The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to legal fees related to corporate matters and an increase in share based compensation during the quarter.


 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, there was interest expense of $0.3 million recorded compared to $0.1 million in the prior quarter. The increase in interest expense was due to increased debt outstanding on the revolving credit facility during the quarter.    

For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, total pre-tax net investment income was $3.4 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior quarter. 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, there was a tax expense of $0.5 million recorded compared to $0.4 million in the prior quarter. 

During the quarter ended December 31,  2016, Capital Southwest recorded realized and unrealized gains on investments of $5.0 million.  The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $7.9 million, compared to $6.9 million in the prior quarter.

The Company’s net asset value, or NAV, at December 31,  2016 was $17.88 per share, as compared to $17.74 at September 30, 2016.  The increase in NAV was primarily due to an increase in net realized and unrealized gains in the current quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31,  2016 Capital Southwest had unrestricted cash and money market balances of approximately $32.7 million, total assets of approximately $312.3 million, and net assets of approximately $285.4 million. 

In September 2016, the Company entered into a credit facility to provide additional liquidity to support its investment and operational activities. The facility includes total commitments of $100.0 million from a diversified group of five lenders and is scheduled to mature on August 30, 2020. As of December 31,  2016, Capital Southwest had $15.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.

Additionally, I-45 SLF has total commitments outstanding on its credit facility of $145.0 million.  As of December 31, 2016, I-45 SLF had $120.0 million in borrowings outstanding. 

Share Repurchase Program

On January 25, 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. As of December 31, 2016, no shares have been purchased under the plan.
