WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2016 Earnings Results and Appoints Chief Executive Officer

 

NEW YORK, NY, May 5, 2016 – WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (“WhiteHorse Finance” or the "Company") (NASDAQ: WHF) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

 

First Quarter 2016 Summary Highlights

 

·New investments of $18.4 million across three loans in three different sectors
·Net investment income increased 26.8% year-over-year to $6.8 million
·First quarter net investment income of $0.369 per share
·First quarter distribution of $0.355 per share

 

Jay Carvell, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are pleased to report another solid quarter during which we increased the effective yield on our investments and covered our distribution to stockholders. We continue to see attractive opportunities in the market and remain highly selective in the deployment of capital."

 

Portfolio and Investment Activity

 

As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of WhiteHorse Finance’s investment portfolio was $417.2 million, compared with $415.3 million as of December 31, 2015. The portfolio at March 31, 2016 consisted of 38 positions across 31 companies with an average investment size of $11.0 million and a weighted average effective yield of 11.9%. The majority of the portfolio was comprised of senior secured loans and more than 97.0% of these loans were variable-rate investments (primarily indexed to LIBOR), which should continue to position the portfolio well for a potential rising interest rate environment.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, WhiteHorse Finance invested $20.6 million across one existing and three new portfolio companies. Gross proceeds from sales and repayments totaled $18.4 million for the quarter. The Company continued to be highly selective with the deployment of capital into new investments.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net investment income was approximately $6.8 million, compared with approximately $5.3 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of 26.8%. The increase in net investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in the average earning investment balance over the same period in the prior year.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, WhiteHorse Finance reported realized and unrealized losses on investments of $1.2 million. This compares with realized and unrealized losses on investments of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in realized and unrealized losses on investments was primarily attributable to fair value adjustments.

 

WhiteHorse Finance reported a net increase in net assets of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which compares with a net increase of $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

WhiteHorse Finance’s NAV was $243.1 million, or $13.28 per share, as of March 31, 2016, as compared with $244.1 million, or $13.33 per share, reported as of December 31, 2015.

Distributions

 

On March 9, 2016, the Company declared a distribution of $0.355 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, consistent for the fourteenth consecutive quarter since the Company’s IPO. The distribution was paid on April 4, 2016 to shareholders of record as of March 21, 2016.

 

Distributions are paid from taxable earnings and may include return of capital and/or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the calendar year and in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Appointment of Chief Executive Officer

 

On May 2, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Stuart Aronson as Chief Executive Officer, effective May 23, 2016. Jay Carvell, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, will continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and as a Managing Director of H.I.G. WhiteHorse Advisers, LLC (“WhiteHorse Advisers”), the Company’s investment adviser.

 

Mr. Aronson currently serves as the Group Head of the U.S. direct lending platform of H.I.G. Capital, L.L.C. (“H.I.G. Capital”), an affiliate of WhiteHorse Advisers. Prior to joining H.I.G. Capital, Mr. Aronson was President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Capital’s U.S. Sponsor Finance Group (“GSF”) and was an officer of the General Electric Company. From 2010 to 2015, GSF was a leading provider of debt financing to U.S. sponsor-backed middle market companies.

 

John Bolduc, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chairman of the Board, commented, “Stuart has had an immediate impact on our direct lending activities since joining H.I.G. WhiteHorse as Group Head of U.S. direct lending. His strong credentials and deep relationships across the direct lending space make him an ideal candidate to lead WhiteHorse Finance in the years ahead.
