New Mountain Finance Corporation Announces Certain Preliminary Financial Estimates for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2014
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2014--New Mountain Finance Corporation (NYSE: NMFC) (the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") today announced certain preliminary financial estimates for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Set forth below is a preliminary estimate of our net asset value per share as of March 31, 2014 and a preliminary estimate of our adjusted net investment income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The following estimates are not a comprehensive statement of our financial condition or results for the period from December 31, 2013 through March 31, 2014. We advise you that our actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 may differ materially from these estimates, which are given only as of the date of this press release, as a result of the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments, including changes in interest rates or changes in the businesses to whom we have made loans, which may arise between now and the time that our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are finalized. This information is inherently uncertain.
As of April 7, 2014, we currently expect that our adjusted net investment income per share was between $0.35 to $0.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
As of April 7, 2014, we estimate that our net asset value per share as of March 31, 2014 was between $14.52 to $14.56.
The preliminary financial estimates provided herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial data. Accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express an opinion or any form of assurance with respect thereto.
