PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into $10.0 million of new debt commitments with one portfolio company, funded debt investments totaling $13.5 million to three portfolio companies and acquired warrants valued at $0.2 million in two portfolio companies. Debt investments funded during the quarter carried a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 14.3% at origination. During the quarter, the Company received $30.8 million of principal prepayments and $6.8 million of scheduled principal amortization. The weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the first quarter was 15.4%. The Company calculates weighted average portfolio yield as the annualized rate of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The return on average equity for the first quarter was 17.9% based on net investment income. The Company calculates return on average equity as the annualized rate of net investment income recognized during the period divided by the Company’s average net asset value during the period.

SIGNED TERM SHEETS

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, TPC entered into $130.5 million of non-binding term sheets to venture growth stage companies. These opportunities are subject to underwriting conditions including, but not limited to, the completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with the allocation policy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be completed or assigned to the Company.

UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled $73.1 million, of which $12.5 million was dependent upon portfolio companies reaching certain milestones. Of the $73.1 million of unfunded commitments, $32.7 million will expire during 2024 and $40.4 million will expire during 2025, if not drawn prior to expiration. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total investment and other income was $29.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 15.4% on debt investments, as compared to $33.6 million and 14.7% for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in total investment and other income was primarily due to a lower weighted average principal amount outstanding on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $13.8 million as compared to $15.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 consisted of $7.0 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $4.3 million of base management fees, $0.6 million of administration agreement expenses and $1.8 million of general and administrative expenses. Due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, our income incentive fees were reduced by $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 consisted of $9.2 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $4.3 million of base management fees, $0.6 million of administration agreement expenses and $0.9 million of general and administrative expenses.

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded net investment income of $15.5 million, or $0.41 per share, as compared to $18.6 million, or $0.53 per share, for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net investment income between periods was driven primarily by lower total investment and other income.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recognized net realized losses on investments of $8.8 million, resulting primarily from the write-off of investments in two portfolio companies, of which $5.1 million was previously included in the Company’s net unrealized losses. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized net realized losses on investments of $33,000.

Net change in unrealized gains on investments for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.3 million, consisting of $6.2 million of net unrealized gains on the warrant and equity portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments and $4.9 million of net unrealized gains from the reversal of previously recorded unrealized losses from investments realized during the period, offset by $9.8 million of net unrealized losses on the existing debt investment portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments. Net change in unrealized losses on investments for the first quarter of 2023 was $10.9 million.

The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.0 million, or $0.21 per share, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $7.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the first quarter of 2023.

CREDIT QUALITY

The Company maintains a credit watch list with portfolio companies placed into one of five credit categories, with Clear, or 1, being the highest rating and Red, or 5, being the lowest. Generally, all new loans receive an initial grade of White, or 2, unless the portfolio company’s credit quality meets the characteristics of another credit category.

As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average investment ranking of the Company’s debt investment portfolio was 2.21, as compared to 2.14 at the end of the prior quarter. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, portfolio company credit category changes, excluding fundings and repayments, consisted of the following: two portfolio companies with an aggregate principal balance of $28.2 million were downgraded from White (2) to Yellow (3), one portfolio company with a principal balance of $24.5 million was downgraded from Yellow (3) to Orange (4), and one portfolio company with a principal balance of $6.0 million was downgraded from Orange (4) to Red (5).
