Insights

Fidus posted solid Q2 results with healthy portfolio performance, growing investment income, and declared attractive dividends supporting 11.7% annualized yield.

Fidus Investment Corporation delivered encouraging Q2 2025 results that demonstrate continued portfolio health despite a challenging M&A environment. The BDC reported adjusted net investment income of $20.0 million ($0.57 per share), covering its quarterly base dividend of $0.43 with a 132% coverage ratio when including the supplemental dividend.

The company's total investment income increased 12.1% year-over-year to $40.0 million, driven by higher interest income, substantial growth in fee income (+155.2% YoY), and improved dividend income (+76.8% YoY). This diversified income stream demonstrates the strength of Fidus' investment approach even in a soft M&A environment.

Portfolio metrics remain strong with zero investments on non-accrual status implied by the weighted average yield calculation methodology disclosed. The weighted average yield on debt investments stood at 13.1%, while the portfolio was valued at 101.8% of cost, indicating modest overall appreciation in investments.

Notably, Fidus has maintained significant liquidity for new investments, with $91.2 million in cash and $140.0 million of unused capacity on its credit facility. This positions the firm well to capitalize on opportunities as they arise. The BDC also managed its liability structure effectively, with a weighted average interest rate on outstanding debt of 4.8%.

The Board's declaration of a $0.57 total dividend for Q3 ($0.43 base + $0.14 supplemental) represents an annualized yield of approximately 11.7% based on recent trading prices, making it an attractive income vehicle. The substantial $49.0 million ($1.39 per share) of estimated spillover income provides significant cushion for future dividend sustainability.

Board of Directors Declared Total Dividends of $0.57 per Share for Third Quarter 2025

Base Dividend of $0.43 and Supplemental Dividend of $0.14 Per Share

EVANSTON, Ill., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:FDUS) (“Fidus” or the “Company”), a provider of customized debt and equity financing solutions, primarily to lower middle-market companies based in the United States, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

  • Total investment income of $40.0 million
  • Net investment income of $18.6 million, or $0.53 per share
  • Adjusted net investment income of $20.0 million, or $0.57 per share(1)
  • Invested $94.5 million in debt and equity securities, including four new portfolio companies
  • Received proceeds from repayments and realizations of $109.3 million
  • Paid total dividends of $0.54 per share: regular quarterly dividend of $0.43 and a supplemental dividend of $0.11 per share on June 25, 2025

Management Commentary

“At the mid-point of the year, Fidus’ portfolio continues to perform well and remains healthy with sound credit quality. Adjusted net investment income grew to $20.0 million on higher levels of interest income, coupled with healthy fee and dividend income.  We continued to find opportunities to put capital to work even in a soft M&A environment while adhering to our proven strategy of investing in companies with resilient business models and structuring investments with a high degree of equity cushion,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation.  “Looking ahead, we have ample liquidity to continue to build the portfolio and remain committed to maintaining a portfolio that is structured to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns and grow net asset value over time for our shareholders.”

(1)   Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted 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. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our investment adviser provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. 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. Reconciliations of net investment income to adjusted net investment income are set forth in Schedule 1.

The following table provides a summary of our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations per share $0.72  $0.75  $(0.03)  (4.0%)
                 

The $4.3 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.3 million increase in total interest income (which includes payment-in-kind interest income) resulting from an increase in average debt investment balances outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in weighted average yield on debt investment balances outstanding, (ii) a $0.3 million increase in dividend income due to an increase in distributions received from equity investments, (iii) a $2.4 million increase in fee income resulting from an increase in prepayment and origination fees and (iv) a $0.3 million increase in interest on idle funds resulting from an increase in average cash balances.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, were $21.3 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 14.0% from the $18.7 million of total expenses, including the base management fee waiver and income tax provision, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.7 million increase in interest and financing expenses due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate of our debt outstanding and an increase in weighted average borrowings outstanding, (ii) a $0.4 million net increase in base management fee, including the base management fee waiver, due to higher average total assets, (iii) a $0.3 million increase in the income incentive fee, (iv) a $0.3 million increase in professional fees due to increased proxy solicitation fees, partially offset by (v) a $0.1 million decrease in the accrued capital gains incentive fee.

Net investment income increased by $1.7 million, or 9.9%, to $18.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of the $4.3 million increase in total investment income and the $2.6 million increase in total expenses, including base management fee waiver and income tax provision. Adjusted net investment income,(1) which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual, was $0.57 per share compared to $0.57 per share in the prior year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, was $(7.6) million, as compared to total net realized gain/(loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision)/benefit on realized gains, of $9.2 million for the same period in 2024.

Portfolio and Investment Activities

As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $1.1 billion and consisted of 92 active portfolio companies and five portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 101.8% of the related cost basis as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the debt investments of 50 portfolio companies bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $718.6 million, or 71.1%, of our debt investment portfolio on a fair value basis, and the remainder of our debt investment portfolio was comprised of fixed rate investments. As of June 30, 2025, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $12.3 million, which excludes investments in five portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 13.1% as of June 30, 2025. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of June 30, 2025, including the accretion of original issue discounts and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status and investments recorded as a secured borrowing.

Second quarter 2025 investment activity included the following new portfolio company investments:

As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.8%.

Third Quarter 2025 Dividends Totaling $0.57 Per Share Declared

On August 4, 2025, our board of directors declared a base dividend of $0.43 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.14 per share for the second quarter. The dividends will be payable on September 25, 2025, to stockholders of record as of September 18, 2025.

When declaring dividends, our board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated income under GAAP due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of undistributed taxable income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2025 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2025 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2025 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2025 dividends will generally include ordinary taxable income but may also include capital gains, qualified dividends and return of capital.

Fidus has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP at least two days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

Subsequent Events

On July 2, 2025, we invested $8.5 million in first lien debt and $4.3 million in preferred equity in Sogno Toscano, LLC, a single brand distributor of authentic high-quality Italian foods, primarily serving the food service industry.

On July 2, 2025, we received a distribution on our common equity investment in PowerGrid Services Acquisition, LLC, resulting in a realized gain of $0.9 million.

On July 30, 2025, we exited our first lien debt investment in Choice Technology Solutions, LLC (dba Choice Merchant Solutions, LLC). We received payment in full of $10.6 million on our first lien debt, which includes a prepayment fee. We also received a distribution on our preferred equity investment and recognized a loss of $0.5 million.

Schedule 1

Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment Income
 

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted 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. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our investment advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses for such year, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. 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. The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(1) Adjusted net investment income per share amounts are calculated as adjusted net investment income divided by weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Due to rounding, the sum of net investment income per share and capital gains incentive fee expense (reversal) amounts may not equal the adjusted net investment income per share amount presented here.
