Exhibit 99.1

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Monroe Capital Income Plus Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and our investment advisor, Monroe Capital BDC Advisors, LLC, and its affiliates (“Monroe”) hope that you are well. We continue to strive to provide excellent client service and deliver timely communications on a regular basis; and accordingly, would like to provide you, our valued shareholder, with an estimate of our quarterly earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

 

Estimates of Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results:

The following are preliminary estimates, subject to change pending the completion of our unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

 

oEstimated Q2 2021 Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income – We anticipate that Q2 2021 Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income will be $0.15 to $0.17 per share and $0.18 to $0.22 per share, respectively, based on the weighted average shares outstanding during Q2. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income discussion below.

 

oQ2 2021 Dividends –The Board of Directors declared all-cash dividends which were paid on June 30, 2021. These dividends equated to an annualized yield of 8.1% based on an Ex-dividend NAV per share of $9.86 to investors of record on April 1, 2021.

 

oEstimated June 30, 2021 Net Asset Value – We anticipate the net asset value (“NAV”) per share at June 30, 2021 to rise from the Ex-dividend NAV per share at March 31, 2021 of $9.86 (pre-dividend NAV of $10.06) per share to between $9.90 and $10.00 per share. We changed both the timing and cadence of our dividends during Q2 2021. Dividends are now declared and paid during the quarter associated with the earnings rather than in the immediately following quarter. As such the estimated NAV per share as of June 30, 2021 includes a reduction for the payment of dividends associated with Q2 2021.

 

Third Quarter 2021 Dividends:

oOn July 1, the Board of Directors declared monthly all-cash dividends as follows:

 

Record Date  Payment Date  Amount Per Share 
July 1, 2021  September 30, 2021  $0.0667 
August 1, 2021  September 30, 2021   0.0667 
September 1, 2021  September 30, 2021   0.0666 
Total dividends declared     $0.2000

Sincerely,

Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income

 

On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted Net Investment Income (including on a per share basis) which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted Net Investment Income represents net investment income, excluding the net capital gains incentive fee and income taxes. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The management agreement with the Company’s advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized capital losses for such year. Management believes that Adjusted Net Investment Income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee as net investment income does not include gains associated with the capital gains incentive fee.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation from estimated net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to estimated Adjusted Net Investment Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021:

 

   Amount Per Share (Estimated) 
Net investment income  $0.15 – 0.17 
Net capital gains incentive fee   0.03 – 0.05 
Income taxes, including excise taxes   0.00 – 0.00 
Adjusted Net Investment Income  $0.18 - 0.22 

 

Adjusted Net Investment Income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Investment Income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
