(1) All per share amounts are basic and diluted.
(2) Basic and diluted Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS is the net per share increase (decrease) in stockholders equity resulting from operations less realized and unrealized gains and losses, any capital gains incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized gains and losses and any income taxes related to such realized gains and losses. Basic and diluted GAAP EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Ares Capital believes that Core EPS provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is one method Ares Capital uses to measure its financial condition and 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. Reconciliations of basic and diluted Core EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.
(3) Includes an additional dividend of $0.05 per share paid in the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

FIRST QUARTER 2015 OPERATING RESULTS
For the first quarter of 2015, Ares Capital reported GAAP net income of $100.6 million or $0.32 per share (basic and diluted), Core EPS(2) of $0.37 per share (basic and diluted), net investment income of $121.7 million, or $0.39 per share (basic and diluted), and net realized and unrealized losses of $(21.1) million or $(0.07) per share (basic and diluted).
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.
As of March 31, 2015, total assets were $8.9 billion, stockholders equity was $5.3 billion and net asset value per share was $16.71.
In the first quarter of 2015, Ares Capital made $500.2 million in new commitments, including commitments to eight new portfolio companies, six existing portfolio companies and four additional portfolio companies through the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC, which operates using the name Senior Secured Loan Program (the SSLP) through which Ares Capital co-invests with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric Capital Corporation (together, GE) to fund first lien senior secured loans. Of these new commitments, all were sponsored transactions. As of March 31, 2015, 139 separate private equity sponsors were represented in Ares Capitals portfolio. Of the $500.2 million in new commitments made during the first quarter of 2015, 73% were in second lien senior secured loans, 16% were in first lien senior secured debt, 6% were in senior subordinated debt and 5% were in subordinated certificates of the SSLP to make co-investments with GE in first lien senior secured loans through the SSLP. Of these commitments, 94% were in floating rate debt securities, of which 95% contained interest rate floors, and the remaining 5% were in the subordinated certificates of the SSLP to make co-investments with GE in floating rate first lien senior secured loans through the SSLP, all of which contained interest rate floors. Ares Capital may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that Ares Capital will be able to do so.
In the first quarter of 2015, significant new commitments included:
· $90 million in a second lien senior secured term loan of a healthcare technology provider;
· $82 million in a second lien senior secured term loan and equity of a fixed asset financial management software provider;
· $72 million in a second lien senior secured term loan of a SCUBA diver training and certification provider;
· $70 million in a second lien senior secured term loan of a branded rehabilitation and wellness products provider;
· $29 million in a senior subordinated loan of a wind power generation facilities operator;
· $25 million in a first lien senior secured term loan of a gas turbine power generation facilities operator;
· $20 million in a second lien senior secured term loan and equity of a software provider to the connected home market; and
· $20 million in a first lien senior secured term loan of a motorsports safety equipment provider.
Also in the first quarter of 2015, Ares Capital exited approximately $1,123.3 million of investment commitments.
The fair value of Ares Capitals portfolio investments at March 31, 2015 was $8.5 billion, including $7.7 billion in accruing debt and other income producing securities. The total portfolio investments at fair value were comprised of approximately 34% of first lien senior secured loans, 26% of second lien senior secured loans, 24% of subordinated certificates of the SSLP (the proceeds of which were applied to co-investments with GE in first lien senior secured loans through the SSLP), 7% of senior subordinated debt securities, 2% of preferred equity securities and 7% of other equity and other securities. As of March 31, 2015, the weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities in the portfolio at fair value was 10.5%(3) (10.5% at amortized cost(4)), the weighted average yield on total investments in the portfolio at fair value was 9.5%(5) (9.6% at amortized cost(6)), and 81% of the total investments at fair value were in floating rate securities.
We are pleased with another strong quarter of earnings for ARCC and credit quality remains strong. Our portfolio rotation strategy has proven to be successful, enabling us to increase our overall portfolio yield again this quarter, commented Kipp deVeer, Chief Executive Officer. We also realized gains on some of the equity co-investments in our portfolio, contributing to an attractive total return on our investments.
PORTFOLIO QUALITY
Ares Capital Management LLC, Ares Capitals investment adviser, employs an investment rating system to categorize Ares Capitals investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, Ares Capitals investment adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to Ares Capitals initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio companys business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of risk to Ares Capitals initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to Ares Capitals initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to Ares Capitals initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to Ares Capitals ability to ultimately recoup the cost of Ares Capitals investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to Ares Capitals ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to Ares Capitals ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is anticipated that Ares Capital will not recoup Ares Capitals initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of Ares Capitals initial cost basis upon exit. For investments graded 1 or 2, Ares Capitals investment
adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. The grade of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time.
As of March 31, 2015, the weighted average grade of the investments in Ares Capitals portfolio at fair value was 3.0 and loans on non-accrual status represented 1.7% of total investments at amortized cost (or 1.3% at fair value).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2015, Ares Capital had $132.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding ($3.4 billion in carrying value). Subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, Ares Capital had approximately $2.2 billion available for additional borrowings under its existing credit facilities as of March 31, 2015.
In January 2015, Ares Capital issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the unsecured notes that mature on January 15, 2020 (the Additional 2020 Notes) at a premium of 100.2% of their principal amount. Total proceeds from the issuance of the Additional 2020 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were approximately $198.4 million. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under Ares Capitals debt facilities and for general corporate purposes, including investing in portfolio companies in accordance with Ares Capitals investment objective.
In March 2015, Ares Capital redeemed the entire outstanding principal amount of its unsecured notes that bore interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum and were scheduled to mature on February 15, 2022 (the February 2022 Notes) in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing theses notes. The total redemption price (including accrued and unpaid interest) was $144.6 million, which resulted in a realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $3.8 million.
In March 2015, Ares Capital entered into an amendment to its revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility). The amendment, among other things, (1) extended the stated maturity date from May 4, 2019 to May 4, 2020, (2) increased the size of commitments from $1.25 billion to $1.29 billion and (3) modified the stated interest rate from LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 2.00% or an alternate base rate (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of 1.00% to a formula-based calculation resulting in a stated interest rate of either LIBOR plus an applicable spread of 1.75% or 2.00% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable spread of 0.75% or 1.00%. As of March 31, 2015, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 1.75%.
FIRST QUARTER 2015 DIVIDEND
Ares Capital declared on February 26, 2015 a first quarter dividend of $0.38 per share and an additional dividend of $0.05 per share for a total of approximately $135.1 million. The record date for these dividends was March 13, 2015 and the dividends were paid on March 31, 2015.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In April 2015, Ares Venture Finance, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares Capital, received approval for a license from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to operate as an Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.
In April 2015, General Electric Company announced that it intends to sell most of the assets of General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC). These assets include the interests held by GECC and GE Global Sponsor Finance in the SSLP. Ares Capital is in an active dialogue with GECC regarding the future of the SSLP and the SSLP continues to make loans and otherwise conduct its business in the ordinary course. Although Ares Capital will seek to continue the program with another partner, Ares Capital may be unable to identify such a partner or to agree with such a partner on terms comparable to those contained in the existing SSLP agreements. If Ares Capital ceases to make new investments through the SSLP and the aggregate SSLP portfolio declines over time as loans in the program are repaid or exited, the portion of Ares Capitals earnings attributable to the SSLP could be adversely affected.
From April 1, 2015 through April 29, 2015, Ares Capital made new investment commitments of approximately $153 million, all of which were funded. Of these new commitments, 82% were in second lien senior secured loans, 14% were in first lien senior secured loans, 3% were in preferred equity securities and 1% were in other equity securities. Of the approximately $153 million of new investment commitments, 96% were floating rate and 4% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at amortized cost was 9.9%. Ares Capital may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that Ares Capital will be able to do so.
From April 1, 2015 through April 29, 2015, Ares Capital exited approximately $180 million of investment commitments. Of these investment commitments, 98% were first lien senior secured loans, 1% were investments in subordinated certificates of the SSLP and 1% were preferred equity securities. Of the approximately $180 million of exited investment commitments, 98% were floating rate, 1% were fixed rate and 1% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 7.5%. On the approximately $180 million of investment commitments exited from April 1, 2015 through April 29, 2015, Ares Capital recognized total net realized gains of approximately $5 million.
In addition, as of April 29, 2015, Ares Capital had an investment backlog and pipeline of approximately $385 million and $200 million, respectively. Investment backlog includes transactions approved by Ares Capitals investment advisers investment committee and/or for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or signed commitment has been issued, and therefore
Ares Capital believes are likely to close. Investment pipeline includes transactions where due diligence and analysis are in process, but no formal mandate, letter of intent or signed commitment has been issued. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things, one or more of the following: satisfactory completion of Ares Capitals due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, Ares Capitals acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. In addition, Ares Capital may sell all or a portion of these investments and certain of these investments may result in the repayment of existing investments. Ares Capital cannot assure you that Ares Capital will make any of these investments or that Ares Capital will sell all or any portion of these investments.

(1) Basic and diluted Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS is the net per share increase (decrease) in stockholders equity resulting from operations less realized and unrealized gains and losses, any capital gains incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized gains and losses and any income taxes related to such realized gains and losses. Basic and diluted GAAP EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Ares Capital believes that Core EPS provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is one method Ares Capital uses to measure its financial condition and 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.
