All of these transactions were directly originated and led by CSWC, with the one exception being an add-on to a large club deal. All of our credit deployed this quarter was first lien, with one of the new portfolio company opportunities and one of the add-on opportunities including equity co-investments. Our portfolio continues to perform, having produced a 15.1% annualized return on equity this quarter with no investments currently on non-accrual. We were also pleased to be able to exit our investment in TitanLiner in a transaction that resulted in a sizeable realized gain, which allowed us to pay a large supplemental dividend to our shareholders and fund our announced Supplemental Dividend Program. Finally, we continue to be well-capitalized with available debt capital and leverage of only 0.4 to 1, providing us significant room to continue to grow the investment portfolio, net investment income and the dividend for our shareholders.”

First Fiscal Quarter 2019 Operating Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $11.1 million, compared to $9.9 million in the prior quarter. The increase in investment income was attributable to an increase in average debt investments outstanding.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) were $3.7 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior quarter. The increase in operating expenses was due to one-time fees paid in connection with the addition of a new board member and expenses related to the preparation of annual shareholder meeting materials.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there was interest expense of $2.4 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior quarter. The increase in interest expense was due to increased average debt outstanding on the revolving credit facility during the quarter, as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate on the credit facility.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, total pre-tax net investment income was $5.0 million, compared to $4.5 million in the prior quarter.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there was tax expense of $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior quarter.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, Capital Southwest recorded total realized and unrealized gains on investments of $7.0 million, compared to $10.8 million in the prior quarter. The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $11.7 million for the quarter, compared to $15.0 million in the prior quarter.

The Company’s NAV at June 30, 2018 was $18.87 per share, as compared to $19.08 at March 31, 2018. The decrease in NAV from the prior quarter is due to the $0.60 per share supplemental dividend declared and paid in the current quarter, offset by net unrealized gains on the investment portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2018, Capital Southwest had unrestricted cash and money market balances of approximately $12.5 million.

In November 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its revolving credit facility. The Amendment (1) increased the total borrowing capacity under the credit facility to $180 million, (2) increased the credit facility’s accordion feature to allow for an increase in total commitments of up to $250 million, (3) reduced the interest rate on borrowings from LIBOR plus 3.25% down to LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a further step-down to LIBOR plus 2.75% at the time the Company’s net worth exceeds $325 million, (4) reduced unused commitment fees from a utilization-based grid of 0.50% to 1.5% down to a range of 0.50% to 1.0% per annum, and (5) extended the revolving period that ended August 30, 2019 through November 16, 2020.

Additionally, the final maturity of the credit facility was extended from August 30, 2020 to November 16, 2021. On April 16, 2018 and May 11, 2018, the Company entered into Incremental Assumption Agreements, which increased the total commitments under the credit facility by $20 million and $10 million, respectively. The increases were executed in accordance with the accordion feature of the credit facility, increasing total commitments from $180 million to $210 million. As of June 30, 2018, Capital Southwest had $65 million in borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Regulatory leverage at the end of the quarter was 0.4 to 1.

In December 2017, the Company issued $57.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.95% Notes due 2022 (the "December 2022 Notes"). The total net proceeds from the offering of the December 2022 Notes was $55.8 million. The December 2022 Notes mature on December 15, 2022 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time, at the Company’s option on or after December 15, 2019. The December 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.95% per year, payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2018. 

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into an "At-The-Market" ("ATM") debt distribution agreement, pursuant to which it may offer for sale, from time to time, up to $50 million in aggregate principal amount of December 2022 Notes through B. Riley FBR, Inc., acting as its sales agent. Sales of the December 2022 Notes may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market offerings" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or similar securities exchanges or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

As of August 3, 2018, the Company has sold a total of 474,950 of the December 2022 Notes, generating approximately $12 million in gross proceeds at an effective yield of 5.88%. As of August 3, 2018, approximately $38 million in aggregate principal amount remains available for issuance and sale under the ATM debt distribution agreement.

Additionally, I-45 SLF has total commitments outstanding of $165 million from a group of four bank lenders in its Deutsche Bank led credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in July 2022. As of June 30, 2018, I-45 SLF had $150 million in borrowings outstanding under its credit facility.

Share Repurchase Program

On January 25, 2016, Capital Southwest announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of its common stock at prices significantly below the Company’s net asset value per share as reported in its most recent financial statements. The Board authorized the share repurchase program because it believes that the Company’s common stock may be undervalued from time to time due to market volatility.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any common stock under the program. Cumulative to date, the Company has repurchased a total of 35,911 shares at an average price of $16.37 per share, including commissions paid. The Company currently has approximately $9.4 million available for additional repurchases under the program.
