Insights

The recent financial performance of Rand Capital Corporation, as indicated by the growth in total investment income and net asset value, suggests a strategic shift towards debt investments. The increase in interest yielding debt instruments from 56% to 64% of the portfolio has contributed to an improved portfolio yield and net interest income, which is a positive sign for investors seeking stability and consistent returns. The reported 11% growth in quarterly investment income and 27% annual growth highlight the company's successful deployment of capital in income-producing assets.

However, the rise in total expenses, particularly the substantial increase in interest expenses due to the new senior revolving credit facility and the change in accrued capital gains incentive fees, present a mixed picture. While the credit facility has enabled growth, it has also led to higher costs that have affected net investment income, as seen in the decrease from the previous year. The reported dividends, including a significant 60% increase in 2023, reflect a strong return to shareholders, but investors should consider the sustainability of such payouts in the context of the company's overall financial health.

Examining Rand's portfolio composition and its emphasis on debt investments reveals a broader industry trend where business development companies (BDCs) are seeking to balance risk and return. Debt instruments, particularly in the lower middle market segment, can offer attractive yields, as evidenced by Rand's reported annualized weighted average yield of 13.6%. This is especially relevant in a potentially rising interest rate environment where fixed income assets can provide a hedge against market volatility.

The strategic sale of investments, such as Dealer Solutions and Design (DSD) and ACV Auctions securities, indicates an active portfolio management approach. The resulting liquidity from these sales supports future investment opportunities and dividend distributions. Rand's ability to realize gains from these sales and reinvest in new opportunities is crucial for maintaining portfolio growth and shareholder value.

The financial results of Rand Capital Corporation must be contextualized within the broader economic landscape. The shift towards interest yielding debt investments is likely a response to the macroeconomic conditions, such as interest rate changes and economic uncertainty. The company's increased portfolio yield suggests a strategic positioning to capitalize on these conditions.

The increased dividend payouts signal confidence in the company's earnings and financial strategy, potentially attracting income-focused investors. However, the sustainability of such dividends amid economic fluctuations will be a key factor for long-term shareholder value. The reported increase in net assets is a positive indicator of the company's financial stability, but it should be weighed against the increased leverage from the new credit facility and the higher interest expenses that accompany it.

  • Portfolio expansion centered on debt investments drives total investment income growth of 11% to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter and 27% to $7.3 million for full year 2023
  • Rand’s portfolio was comprised of 64% interest yielding debt instruments at year-end compared with 56% at the end of 2022, which improved the portfolio yield and net interest income
  • Paid total dividends of $1.33 per share in 2023, up 60% from 2022
  • Net asset value per share (“NAV”) was $23.56 at December 31, 2023, up 5% from year-end 2022
  • $2.3 million in follow on investments during the fourth quarter; Full year 2023 investments totaled $20.3 million

BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rand Capital Corporation (Nasdaq: RAND) (“Rand” or the “Company”), a business development company providing alternative financing for lower middle market companies, announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Daniel P. Penberthy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rand, commented, “We delivered another strong year of results as we continued to scale the business through the successful execution of our strategy. We put more than $20 million to work during 2023, primarily in income producing investments which drove higher investment income that enabled us to increase our return to shareholders during the year. In total, dividends increased 60% to $1.33 per share in 2023, which included an increase of our regular quarterly dividend earlier in the year and a special dividend paid out during the fourth quarter.

“We entered 2024 with a strong and flexible balance sheet that is supported by multiple sources of capital. We have a solid pipeline of investment opportunities and believe we can continue to execute our strategy by increasing our portfolio composition with new debt investments.”

Fourth Quarter Highlights (compared with the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)

  • Total investment income grew $197,000, or 11%, to $1.9 million, which reflected a 47% increase in interest from portfolio companies, partially offset by lower dividend income. The decrease in dividend income was largely due to a large prior-year dividend from a portfolio company, which did not occur, and the sale of the Company’s investment in Dealer Solutions and Design (DSD) during the second quarter of 2023.
  • Total expenses were $1.0 million compared with $371,000 in the prior-year fourth quarter. The change reflects a $293,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings under the senior revolving credit facility, along with a change in accrued capital gains incentive fees to the Company’s external investment adviser. The current period included an expense of $64,000 in capital gains incentive fees compared with a credit of $168,000 for the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted expenses, which exclude capital gains incentive fees and is a non-GAAP financial measure, were $950,000 compared with $539,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. See the attached description of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation table for adjusted expenses.
  • Net investment income was $962,000, or $0.37 per share, compared with $1.2 million, or
    $0.48 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted net investment income per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual expense, was $0.40 per share compared with $0.41 in last year’s fourth quarter. See the attached description of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation table for adjusted net investment income per share.

2023 Highlights

  • Total investment income of $7.3 million increased $1.6 million, or 27%, from the prior year.
  • Total expenses were $4.2 million compared with $1.1 million in the prior year. The increase reflected $805,000 of accrued capital gains incentive fees during 2023 compared with a
    $1.0 million reduction of accrued fees during 2022. Rand entered into a senior revolving credit facility in June 2022 to drive growth. As a result, interest expense increased $975,000 in 2023 compared with the prior year.
  • Excluding the capital gains incentive fee accrual, adjusted expenses, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $1.2 million to $3.4 million in 2023. See the attached description of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation table for adjusted expenses.
  • Net investment income per share was $1.15 for 2023 compared with $1.72 per share in the prior year. Excluding the capital gains incentive fee accrual, adjusted net investment income per share for 2023 was $1.46, up 11%, from $1.31 in 2022. See the attached description of this non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation table for adjusted net investment income per share.
  • Net assets at December 31, 2023 were $60.8 million, up 5% from year-end 2022.

At December 31, 2023, the portfolio was comprised of approximately 64% in debt investments, 27% in equity investments in private companies, and 9% in publicly traded equities consisting of other BDCs and ACV Auctions.

Reconciliation of GAAP Total Expense to Non-GAAP Adjusted Expenses
(Unaudited)

In addition to reporting total expenses, which is a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) financial measure, Rand presents adjusted expenses, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted expenses is defined as GAAP total expenses removing the effect of any expenses/(credits) for capital gains incentive fees accrual. GAAP total expenses is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Rand believes that adjusted expenses provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is a method the Company uses to measure its financial and business trends related to its results of operations. 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.
