Taxes on Deemed Distribution of Long-Term Capital Gains: $3.5 million
For the tax year ended December 31, 2019, we had net long-term capital gains of $42.2 million, of which $25.7 million was distributed to shareholders as capital gains dividends
Elected to retain net long-term capital gains of $16.5 million ($0.90 per share) and designate the retained amount as a "deemed distribution" to shareholders
Incurred 21% federal tax of $3.5 million ($0.19 per share) on the retained amount on behalf of shareholders
Balance Sheet:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: $23.0 million
Total Net Assets: $311.9 million
Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Share: $16.74

In commenting on the Company's results, Bowen Diehl, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our third fiscal quarter was quite active, having originated $89 million in five new Lower Middle Market portfolio companies while exiting our last legacy equity investment in Media Recovery, realizing a long term capital gain of over $44 million. The sale allowed us to distribute a special dividend of $0.75 per share to shareholders, replenish our Undistributed Taxable Income to the maximum we can hold at this time, providing visibility to the continuation of the program well into the future, and retain a portion of the capital to be deployed into income producing debt assets. Today, we also announced a $0.51 per share dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which was a $0.01 per share increase from the prior quarter. We continued to be active in the capital markets, having raised $10 million in debt on our October 2024 Notes, while raising an additional $13.8 million in equity capital under our existing ATM program. Regarding the investment portfolio, though we were disappointed with our Upper Middle Market portfolio performance during the quarter, our Lower Middle Market portfolio continued its strong performance offsetting much of the Upper Middle Market unrealized depreciation for the quarter. Overall, we feel confident in the strength of our investment portfolio and the robustness of our Lower Middle Market investment pipeline.”

Third Quarter Fiscal Year Investment Activities
During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company originated five new investment and four follow-on investments totaling $92.4 million in commitments. New investment transactions that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:

Third Fiscal Quarter 2020 Operating Results
For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $16.0 million, compared to $15.2 million in the prior quarter. The increase in investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in average debt investments outstanding and a transaction fee received in connection with the sale of Media Recovery, offset by a decrease in dividend income from I-45 SLF and Media Recovery, as well as an additional asset being placed on non-accrual during the quarter.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) were $4.0 million, compared to $4.1 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to a one-time expense in the prior quarter for the write off of deferred offering costs related to our previous registration statement on Form N-2.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, interest expense was $4.1 million, as compared to $3.8 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to the addition of the October 2024 Notes.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, total pre-tax net investment income was $7.9 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior quarter.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, tax expense was $0.8 million, as compared to $0.6 million in the prior quarter. The increase in tax expense was due primarily to an increase in the excise tax accrual due to additional undistributed net investment income.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Capital Southwest recorded total net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $13.9 million, compared to total net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $4.1 million in the prior quarter. Total net realized and unrealized losses for the current quarter includes $3.5 million of tax incurred on the deemed distribution of long-term capital gains. For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, this included total net realized gains on investments of $40.8 million and net unrealized depreciation on investments of $54.8 million, of which $48.3 million was the reversal of net unrealized appreciation recognized in prior periods due to realized gains noted above. The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $6.8 million for the quarter, compared to a net increase of $2.7 million in the prior quarter.
The Company’s NAV at December 31, 2019 was $16.74 per share, as compared to $18.30 at September 30, 2019. The decrease in NAV per share from the prior quarter is primarily due to the special dividend of $0.75 per share, taxes on the deemed distribution of long-term capital gains, and net unrealized depreciation on investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2019, Capital Southwest had approximately $23.0 million in unrestricted cash and money market balances and $167.6 million in available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2019, Capital Southwest had $124.0 million of total debt outstanding on its revolving credit facility, $75.7 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the December 2022 Notes outstanding, and $73.4 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the October 2024 Notes outstanding. The debt to equity ratio at the end of the quarter was 0.88 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”). 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 December 31, 2019, the Company sold 623,111 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $22.07 per share, raising $13.8 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $13.5 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. Cumulative to date, the Company has sold 1,313,588 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $21.81, raising $28.7 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $28.1 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold.
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 November 2024. As of December 31, 2019, I-45 SLF had $139 million in borrowings outstanding under its credit facility. During the quarter, the Company amended the Deutsche Bank credit facility to lower the spread and extend the maturity.

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 December 31, 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 $0.51 Per Share for Quarter Ended March 31, 2020
On January 22, 2020, the Board declared total dividends of $0.51 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, comprised of a Regular Dividend of $0.41 per share and a Supplemental Dividend of $0.10 per share.

The Company's dividend will be payable as follows:

March 31, 2020 Dividend

Amount Per Share: $0.51
Ex-Dividend Date: March 13, 2020
Record Date: March 16, 2020
Payment Date: March 31, 2020
 
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) 3.6x 4.6x Note: All metrics above exclude the I-45 Senior Loan Fund (1) At December 31, 2019, we had equity ownership in approximately 68.8% 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 December 31, 2019, including accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments. As of December 31, 2019, there were three 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2019, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to reporting a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful Page 13
