Exhibit 99.1

WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Results and Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.385 Per Share

NEW YORK, August 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (“WhiteHorse Finance” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WHF) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company’s board of directors has declared a distribution of $0.385 per share with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The distributions will be payable on October 2, 2024 to stockholders of record as of September 18, 2024.

Stuart Aronson, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite some challenges with specific credits and elevated repayment activity, I am pleased to report that WhiteHorse generated another quarter of core net investment income well in excess of our regular dividend.   We are generally seeing balanced activity across our portfolio in terms of credit performance and stability with markdowns partially offset by various net markups during the quarter. Based on current market terms and conditions, we are taking a cautious stance and are focused on credits with positive free cash flow, limited cyclicality, and strong owners.  This is consistent with the rigorous underwriting standards that we adhere to regardless of market conditions. The broader lending market remains aggressive, favoring borrowers, but we continue to see opportunities in areas of the market where these is less competition. Our pipeline level remains high due in part to our sourcing model, which allows us to source deals in areas of the market where there is less competition.”

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, WhiteHorse Finance made investments in seven new portfolio companies for a total of $47.4 million and added a total of $8.4 million to existing portfolio companies. Proceeds from sales and repayments totaled approximately $71.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by full repayments from Bulk Midco, LLC, Empire Office, Inc., Potpourri Group, Inc., and Team Car Care Holdings, LLC (Heartland Auto) and net repayments of $0.9 million on revolver commitments.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.

(1) “Core net investment income” is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core net investment income provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects the Company’s financial performance excluding (i) the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, (ii) the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and (iii) excise and other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additional information on core net investment income and a reconciliation of core net investment income to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net investment income, are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

(2) Includes investments in WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC (“STRS JV”), an unconsolidated joint venture, totaling $107.7 million, at fair value.

(3) Based on total capital raised by H.I.G. Capital and affiliates.

SCHEDULE 1

As a supplement to GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided information relating to core net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core net investment income represents net investment income adjusted to exclude the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and excise or other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). There were no excise or other income taxes related to net realized gains and losses for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):

Yield & Interest Rate Economic Analysis 12 (1) Weighted average effective yield is computed by dividing (a) annualized interest income (including interest income resulting from the amortization of fees and discounts) by (b) the weighted average cost of investments. (2) Income yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on earning investments, including interest and recurring fee income but excluding amortization of capitalized fees and discounts. (3) Calculated as (a) effective yield less (b) weighted average cost of debt. (4) The weighted average cost of debt is calculated as (a) the actual amount of expenses incurred on debt obligations divided by (b) the daily average of total debt obligations.
