Portfolio and Business Commentary

(All figures as of November 30, 2024, unless otherwise noted)

As of November 30, 2024, the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $23.30 compared to $23.42 as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s year-to-date return through November 30, 2024 was 7.4%. The Company’s annualized distribution rate is 11.4% as of November 30, 2024.1

As of November 30, 2024, the Company’s portfolio was $516.2 million based on fair market value across 50 portfolio companies and 18 industries. The Company’s unfunded commitments was $24.8 million at November 30, 2024. Given our focus on lower middle market borrowers and our conservative structuring approach, our portfolio remained defensively positioned with 98% first lien debt investments and 99% floating rate debt investments based on fair market value. As of November 30, 2024, there were two investments placed on non-accrual status, unchanged from prior quarter end.

We continue to operate around the low end of our target leverage ratio of 0.9x to 1.0x net debt to equity and remain focused on optimizing our funding sources and liquidity. As of November 30, 2024, the Company’s net leverage ratio was 0.9x2. As of November 30, 2024, the Company had remaining facility sizes totaling $143.0 million.3

 

1.

The annualized distribution rate is calculated by multiplying the current quarter’s (Q4 2024) regular distribution per share by four and dividing the result by the prior quarter’s (Q3 2024) ending NAV per share. If the calculation was based on the NAV per share as of November 30, 2024, the annualized distribution rate would be 11.5% as of November 30, 2024.

2.

Net leverage ratio is defined as debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents, divided by net assets.

3. 

Includes borrowing facility sizes of $300.0 million under our SPV facility and $80.0 million under our revolving Onex loan.
