TICC Announces Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2012

and Quarterly Distribution of $0.29 per share

 

GREENWICH, CT – 07/30/2012 – TICC Capital Corp. (NasdaqGS: TICC) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and a distribution of $0.29 per share for the third quarter of 2012.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

·Total investment income for the second quarter of 2012 amounted to approximately $20.5 million, up approximately 38.8% from the first quarter of 2012 due in part to a one-time fee of approximately $3.4 million associated with our investment in American Integration Technologies, LLC (“AIT”), as well as greater interest income and distribution income from our securitization vehicle investments.

 

·For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we recorded net investment income of approximately $15.0 million, or approximately $0.40 per share. Excluding the impact of a capital gains incentive fee accrual reduction, our core net investment income(1) was approximately $13.9 million, or approximately $0.37 per share which includes approximately $0.09 per share associated with the AIT fee. We also recorded net unrealized depreciation of approximately $7.3 million and net realized capital gains of approximately $1.5 million. In total, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $9.3 million or $0.25 per share for the second quarter.

 

oAs of the end of the second quarter of 2012 there were no loans on non-accrual status.

 

oOur weighted average credit rating on a fair value basis was 2.1 at the end of the second quarter of 2012 (compared to 2.1 at the end of the first quarter of 2012).

 

·Operating expenses before the capital gains incentive fee for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $6.6 million, which was up from the first quarter of 2012 by approximately $1.1 million due largely to a higher net investment income incentive fee.

 

·The reported capital gains incentive fee expense decreased by approximately $1,155,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The capital gains incentive fee expense, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles, is calculated on the basis of net realized and unrealized gains and losses at the end of each period. The expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to our investment adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of our portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") on such date. The $1.0 million capital gains incentive fee accrual as of June 30, 2012 relates entirely to this hypothetical liquidation calculation.

The amount of the capital gains incentive fee which will actually be payable is determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and is calculated as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Agreement). The terms of the Agreement state that the capital gains incentive fee calculation is based on net realized gains, if any, offset by gross unrealized depreciation for the calendar year. No effect is given to gross unrealized appreciation in this calculation.
   
·Our Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.29 per share for the third quarter of 2012.
oPayable Date: September 28, 2012
oRecord Date: September 14, 2012

 

·During the second quarter of 2012, we deployed approximately $62.1 million in additional investments. For the same period, we received proceeds of approximately $68.7 million from repayments, sales and amortization payments on our debt investments.

 

·At June 30, 2012, the weighted average yield of our debt investments was approximately 11.2%, compared with 11.6% at March 31, 2012.

 

·At June 30, 2012, net asset value per share was $9.47 compared with the net asset value per share at March 31, 2012 of $9.50.

 

 
 

 

 

(1) Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment Income and Core Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

 

On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to core net investment income and core net increase in net assets resulting from operations, non-GAAP measures. These measures are provided in addition to, but not a substitute for, net investment income and net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Core net investment income represents net investment income excluding our capital gains incentive fee. Core net increase in net assets resulting from operations represents net increase in net assets resulting from operations excluding the capital gains incentive fee. As the capital gains incentive fee is based on a hypothetical event that did not occur, we believe that core net investment income and core net increase in net assets resulting from operations are useful indicators of non- hypothetical transactions during this period.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012):

(1)Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon average shares outstanding.
(2)Net realized and unrealized capital gains include rounding adjustment to reconcile change in net asset value per share.
(3)Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of June 30, 2012, none of the distributions for 2012 would have been characterized as a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders; this tax return of capital may differ from the return of capital calculated with reference to net investment income for financial reporting purposes.
(4)Total return equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming dividend reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized.
(5)Annualized.
