CSWC Reports Pre-Tax Net Investment Income of $0.42 Per Share
Dallas, Texas – November 4, 2019 Capital Southwest Corporation (“Capital Southwest,” “CSWC” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CSWC), an internally managed business development company focused on providing flexible financing solutions to support the acquisition and growth of middle market businesses, today announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019.
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Highlights
Total Investment Portfolio: $538.9 million
Credit Portfolio of $387.2 million:
87% 1st Lien Senior Secured Debt
$28.7 million in new committed credit investments
Two 1st Lien Senior Secured Debt investments currently on non-accrual with a fair value of $13.8 million, representing 2.6% of the total investment portfolio
Weighted Average Yield on Debt Investments: 11.0%
Equity Portfolio of $89.8 million, excluding investment in I-45 Senior Loan Fund ("I-45 SLF")
$1.0 million in one new committed equity co-investment
CSWC Investment in I-45 SLF of $61.9 million
I-45 SLF portfolio of $214.8 million
Portfolio consists of 46 issuers: 95% 1st Lien Debt and 5% 2nd Lien Debt
I-45 SLF paid a $2.5 million quarterly dividend to CSWC, an annualized yield of 16.0%
Pre-Tax Net Investment Income: $7.4 million, or $0.42 per weighted average diluted share
Includes $0.5 million of one-time expense ($0.03 per share) for write off of deferred offering costs related to our previous registration statement on Form N-2
Dividends: Paid $0.40 per share in Regular Dividend, plus $0.10 per share Supplemental Dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2019
105% Pre-Tax NII Regular Dividend Coverage
Total Dividends for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 of $0.50 per share
Net Realized and Unrealized Portfolio Depreciation: $4.1 million
$6.3 million of net depreciation related to the upper middle market portfolio, including I-45 SLF
$2.2 million of net appreciation related to the lower middle market portfolio
Balance Sheet:

Total Net Assets: $328.1 million
Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Share: $18.30



In commenting on the Company's results, Bowen Diehl, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our results this quarter, having posted a solid $0.42 per share in Net Investment Income despite incurring a $472 thousand, or $0.03 per share, one-time expense to retire our previous registration statement. From a capitalization standpoint, we further solidified our balance sheet by raising $75 million in an all institutionally-placed bond offering at an attractive yield of 5.375% with a 5-year maturity. The bond transaction was a unique one in the BDC space, as we believe that we are the only BDC in recent history with sub $1 billion in market cap to be able to access this market. Overall, the investment portfolio continues to be solid with our lower middle market portfolio posting strong performance and our upper middle market portfolio, including I-45 SLF, experiencing some mark-to-market unrealized depreciation driven primarily by the underperformance of a few specific portfolio companies.”

Second Quarter Fiscal Year Investment Activities
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company originated one new investment and two follow-on investments totaling $29.7 million in commitments. New investment transactions that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 are summarized as follows:

Second Fiscal Quarter 2020 Operating Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $15.2 million, compared to $15.8 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in investment income was primarily attributable to a decrease in dividend income from I-45 SLF due to a decrease in realized gains at I-45 SLF as compared to the prior quarter, an additional asset being placed on non-accrual during the quarter, and a decline in LIBOR.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) were $4.1 million, compared to $4.3 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to a one-time expense in the prior quarter related to the acceleration of restricted stock award vesting upon the retirement of an employee. The $4.1 million total



operating expenses in the current quarter includes $0.5 million of a one-time expense ($0.03 per share) for the write off of deferred offering costs related to our previous registration statement on Form N-2.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, interest expense remained relatively flat at $3.7 million, as compared to $3.8 million in the prior quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, total pre-tax net investment income was $7.4 million, compared to $7.7 million in the prior quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, tax expense was $0.6 million, as compared to $0.3 million in the prior quarter. The increase in tax expense was due primarily to a reduction in the tax basis of investments held in the Company's taxable subsidiary.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, Capital Southwest recorded total net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $4.1 million, compared to total net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $0.6 million in the prior quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, this included total net realized gains on investments of $0.3 million and net unrealized depreciation on investments of $4.4 million, of which $0.3 million was the reversal of net unrealized appreciation recognized in prior periods due to realized gains noted above. The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $2.7 million for the quarter, compared to $6.7 million in the prior quarter.
The Company’s NAV at September 30, 2019 was $18.30 per share, as compared to $18.58 at June 30, 2019. The decrease in NAV per share from the prior quarter is primarily due to the supplemental dividend of $0.10 per share and net unrealized depreciation on investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2019, Capital Southwest had approximately $30.0 million in unrestricted cash and money market balances, $108 million of total debt outstanding on its revolving credit facility, $75.6 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the December 2022 Notes outstanding, and $63.6 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the October 2024 Notes outstanding. As of September 30, 2019, Capital Southwest had $183.6 million in available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The debt to equity ratio at the end of the quarter was 0.75 to 1.
In September 2019, the Company issued $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Notes due 2024 (the “Existing October 2024 Notes”). Subsequent to quarter end, on October 8, 2019, the Company issued an additional $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2024 Notes (the "Additional October 2024 Notes" together with the Existing October 2024 Notes, the "October 2024 Notes"). The total net proceeds from the offering of the October 2024 Notes was $73.5 million, before offering expenses payable by us. The October 2024 Notes mature on October 1, 2024 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time prior to July 1, 2024, at par plus a “make-whole” premium, and thereafter at par. The October 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020.
In December 2018, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Agreement"), and a related Amended and Restated Guarantee, Pledge and Security Agreement, to amend and restate its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility").
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement, which increased the total commitments under the Credit Facility by $25 million. The increase was executed under the accordion feature of the Credit Facility and increased total commitments from $270 million to $295 million.
On March 4, 2019, the Company entered into separate equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents through which it may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the "Equity ATM Program"). During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold 231,272 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $21.62 per share, raising $5.0 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $4.9 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. Cumulative



to date, the Company has sold 690,477 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $21.57, raising $14.9 million of gross proceeds.
Additionally, I-45 SLF has total commitments outstanding of $165 million from a group of four bank lenders in its Deutsche Bank led credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in July 2022. As of September 30, 2019, I-45 SLF had $141 million in borrowings outstanding under its credit facility.

Share Repurchase Program
On January 25, 2016, Capital Southwest announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 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 share repurchase program because it believes that the Company’s common stock may be undervalued from time to time due to market volatility.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program. Cumulative to date, the Company has repurchased a total of 46,363 shares at an average price of $16.67 per share, including commissions paid. The Company currently has approximately $9.2 million available for additional repurchases under the program.

Declared Dividend of $0.50 Per Share for Quarter Ended December 31, 2019
On October 23, 2019, the Board declared total dividends of $0.50 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, comprised of a Regular Dividend of $0.40 per share and a Supplemental Dividend of $0.10 per share.

The Company's dividend will be payable as follows:

December 31, 2019 Dividend

Amount Per Share: $0.50
Ex-Dividend Date: December 19, 2019
Record Date: December 20, 2019
Payment Date: December 31, 2019
 
When declaring dividends, the Board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from net investment income under generally accepted accounting principles. The final determination of taxable income for each year, as well as the tax attributes for dividends in such year, will be made after the close of the tax year. 
Capital Southwest maintains a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its registered stockholders who hold their shares with Capital Southwest’s transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company.  Under the DRIP, if the Company declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have opted into the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Capital Southwest common stock.

Leverage through CSWC Security (4) 3.5x 3.7x Note: All metrics above exclude the I-45 Senior Loan Fund (1) At September 30, 2019, we had equity ownership in approximately 70.4% of our LMM investments (2) The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates during the quarter for all debt investments at cost as of September 30, 2019, including accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments. As of September 30, 2019, there were two investments on non- accrual status. Weighted-average annual effective yield is not a return to shareholders and is higher than what an investor in shares in our common stock will realize on its investment because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by an investor (3) Weighted average EBITDA metric is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to a reported debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful (4) Includes CSWC debt investments only. Calculated as the amount of each portfolio company’s debt (including CSWC’s position and debt senior or pari passu to CSWC’s position, but excluding debt subordinated to CSWC’s position) in the capital structure divided by each portfolio company’s adjusted EBITDA. Weighted average leverage is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. Management uses this metric as a guide to evaluate relative risk of its position in each portfolio debt investment. For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to reporting a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful Page 13
