Rhea-AI Summary

Golub Capital BDC, Inc. announced its second fiscal quarter financial results for 2024, showcasing impressive figures. With the highest-ever Adjusted Net Investment Income, the company declared a supplemental distribution of $0.06 per share on top of a $0.39 quarterly distribution. Key financial highlights include $5,394.7 million in investment portfolio value, $5,942.6 million in total assets, and a net asset value per share of $15.12. The quarter ended with net investment income per share at $0.51, a realized gain per share of $0.04, and earnings per share of $0.55.

Positive
  • The company achieved the third consecutive quarter of the highest-ever Adjusted Net Investment Income, signaling strong financial performance.

  • The increase in net asset value per share from $15.03 to $15.12 demonstrates growth and value creation for shareholders.

  • The company's investment portfolio remained robust at $5,394.7 million, highlighting a diversified and healthy asset base.

Negative
  • Although the Adjusted Net Investment Income increased, the slight decrease in net realized and unrealized gain per share from the previous quarter could be a concern for investors.

  • The unrealized loss on some investments and the net reversal of unrealized depreciation may indicate some volatility in the portfolio.

  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio, even after repayments, remains at 1.12x, which could be a point of caution for investors.

Insights

The reported increase in Adjusted Net Investment Income (ANI) per share from $0.50 to $0.51 indicates a stable income stream, which is typically favorable for stakeholders focusing on consistent returns. However, the modest increase should be weighed against the overall investment portfolio's decrease in fair value from $5,443.4 million to $5,394.7 million. This decrease may suggest some underlying volatility in investment valuations, which could be a sign of risk for more conservative investors. On the debt front, it's notable that Golub Capital BDC has managed its leverage with strategic redemptions and issuances. The redemption of the 2024 Notes and subsequent unsecured note issuance could be seen as a positive move towards optimizing its capital structure, potentially leading to a more favorable debt-to-equity ratio. Yet, the shift from a lower fixed interest rate to a higher one may increase future interest expenses, impacting net investment income.

The announcement of the merger with GBDC 3 is a significant strategic move that may influence future growth and market positioning. Mergers in the BDC sector often aim to consolidate assets under management (AUM) and achieve operational efficiencies. While the short-term costs associated with mergers can be material, the long-term benefit usually lies in the potential for enhanced deal flow, diversified holdings and improved negotiating power with portfolio companies. Investors might be attracted to the prospect of a broader, more diversified investment portfolio, potentially increasing demand for shares post-merger, which could drive up the stock price. The faith placed in this merger by the management team and its alignment with the broader strategic objectives, may also instill confidence among the current and prospective shareholder base.

From a compliance perspective, the use of non-GAAP financial measures in reporting Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Earnings is noteworthy. While these measures provide investors with an alternative view of performance by excluding certain costs, investors should be aware of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) increasing scrutiny of non-GAAP measures. It’s important for investors to understand the reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP figures, providing full transparency. The company's corporate governance, as evidenced by the use of such non-GAAP measures, appears to be in line with industry standards of providing both GAAP and non-GAAP results. This dual-reporting may help investors better gauge the company's operational performance and compare it with peers in the BDC sector.

Declares a Fiscal Year 2024 Second Quarter Supplemental Distribution of $0.06 Per Share in Addition to Previously Declared $0.39 Per Share Quarterly Distribution

On September 16, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation (“GCIC”). The merger was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the consideration paid to GCIC’s stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the assets acquired, the premium paid by the Company was allocated to the cost of the GCIC assets acquired by the Company pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately following the acquisition of GCIC, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the GCIC assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities acquired from GCIC will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the GCIC equity securities acquired and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the GCIC equity securities acquired.

 

 

 

As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful for the reasons described below:

 

 

 

  • “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” – excludes the amortization of the purchase premium from net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
  • “Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee” - Adjusted Net Investment Income excluding the accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee required under GAAP;
  • “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)” and “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share” – excludes the unrealized loss resulting from the purchase premium write-down and the corresponding reversal of the unrealized loss from the amortization of the premium from the determination of realized and unrealized gain/(loss) in accordance with GAAP.
  • “Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share” – calculates net income and earnings per share based on Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss).

 

 

The Company believes that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium write down in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as it is a non-cash expense/loss resulting from the acquisition of GCIC and is one method the Company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company believes excluding the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP is useful as a portion of such accrual is not contractually payable under the terms of the Company’s investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors.

Second Fiscal Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Net investment income per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $0.51 as compared to $0.49 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Excluding an amount less than $0.01 per share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC acquisition and no accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP, Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $0.51. This compares to Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee1 of $0.50 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 when excluding $0.01 per share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC acquisition and no accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP.
  • Net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $0.04. Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 was $0.04 when excluding an amount less than $0.01 per share net reversal of unrealized depreciation and realized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase premium. The Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to unrealized appreciation resulting from strong credit performance in our portfolio and the reversal of previously recognized unrealized depreciation that was partially offset by net realized losses driven by the sale of a portfolio company investment. For additional analysis, please refer to the Quarter Ended 3.31.2024 Earnings Presentation available on the Investor Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations. The Earnings Presentation was also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K. These results compare to net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) per share of $(0.04) during the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $(0.05) when excluding the $0.01 per share net reversal of unrealized depreciation and realized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase premium.
  • Earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $0.55 as compared to $0.45 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted Earnings Per Share1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $0.55 as compared to $0.45 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
  • Net asset value per share increased to $15.12 at March 31, 2024 from $15.03 at December 31, 2023.
  • On March 15, 2024 we paid a supplemental distribution of $0.07 per share and on March 29, 2024 we paid a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per share.
  • On April 19, 2024, our board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per share, which is payable on June 21, 2024, to stockholders of record as of May 2, 2024.
  • On May 3, 2024, our board of directors declared a supplemental distribution of $0.06 per share, which is payable on June 14, 2024 to stockholders of record as of May 16, 2024. For additional details on the framework we intend to use for determining the amount of supplemental distributions going forward, please refer to the Quarter Ended 3.31.2024 Earnings Presentation available on the Investor Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.
  • During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Golub Capital Employee Grant Program Rabbi Trust (the “Trust”) purchased approximately $0.1 million, or 5,000 shares, of our common stock for the purpose of awarding incentive compensation to employees of Golub Capital. During calendar year 2023, the Trust purchased $18.0 million, or 1,306,855 shares, of our common stock.
  • On April 12, 2024, the Company filed an amended registration statement on Form N-14, which included a joint proxy statement of the Company and Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc. (“GBDC 3”) and a prospectus of the Company, in connection with the Company’s proposed merger with GBDC 3. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 15, 2024 and the special meetings for each of the Company’s and GBDC 3’s stockholders are scheduled for May 29, 2024. We remain excited about the proposed merger with GBDC 3, which we anticipate to close shortly after the special meetings, subject to stockholder approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Total investments in portfolio companies at fair value were $5,394.7 million at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, total assets were $5,942.6 million, net assets were $2,593.6 million and net asset value per share was $15.12.

Consolidated Results of Operations

For the second fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company reported GAAP net income and Adjusted Net Income1 of $93.6 million or $0.55 per share. GAAP net investment income was $86.5 million or $0.51 per share and Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee1 was $87.3 million or $0.51 per share. GAAP net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) was $6.7 million or $0.04 per share and Adjusted Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)1 was $5.9 million or $0.04 per share.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are derived from the Company’s debt securitizations (also known as collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs), unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities and cash flow from operations. The Company’s primary uses of funds from operations include investments in portfolio companies and payment of fees and other expenses that the Company incurs. The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its debt securitizations, unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities, proceeds from its investment portfolio and proceeds from offerings of its securities and its dividend reinvestment plan to finance its investment objectives.

See footnote 1 to “Selected Financial Highlights” above.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $300.7 million, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $159.6 million and $3,291.3 million of debt outstanding. As of March 31, 2024, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $1,487.5 million of remaining availability, in the aggregate, on our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, we had $100.0 million of remaining commitments and availability on our unsecured line of credit with GC Advisors.

On February 1, 2024, we issued $600.0 million of unsecured notes, which bear a fixed interest rate of 6.000% (yield to maturity of 6.248%) and mature on July 15, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). In connection with the 2029 Notes, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on the full principal amount of the 2029 Notes where we receive a fixed interest rate of 6.248% and pay a floating interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.444%.

On April 8, 2024, the Company redeemed $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Notes due in 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On April 22, 2024, the Company made repayments totaling $126 million on the notes of its $602 million term debt securitization (the “2018 Debt Securitization”) and its $908 million term debt securitization (the “GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization”). After giving pro forma effect to the full redemption of the 2024 Notes and principal repayments on the 2018 Debt Securitization and GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization, the Company’s GAAP debt-to-equity ratio, net2 would have decreased to 1.12x as of March 31, 2024.

On April 11, 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the second $225.0 million of the $450.0 million of 2028 Unsecured Notes (the “2028 Notes”) that we issued on December 5, 2023. Under the agreement, we receive a fixed interest rate of 7.310% and pay a floating interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.835%.

Portfolio and Asset Quality

GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of the Company’s investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance ratings:

Internal Performance Ratings

Rating

 

Definition

5

 

Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.

4

 

Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.

3

 

Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.

2

 

Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).

1

 

Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. For additional analysis on the Company's internal performance ratings as of March 31, 2024, please refer to the Quarter Ended 3.31.2024 Earnings Presentation available on Investors Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.

GAAP debt to equity, net is calculated as (1) total debt reduced by available cash, cash equivalents, and foreign currencies, divided by (2) total net assets.
