TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
RALEIGH, NC November 3, 2010, Triangle Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: TCAP)
(Triangle or the Company), a leading specialty finance company that provides customized
financing solutions to lower middle market companies located throughout the United States,
today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2010.
Commenting on the quarter, Garland S. Tucker, III, President and CEO, stated, The third
quarter was an especially active time for us as we initiated approximately $30 million of
new investments, we experienced approximately $30 million of principal repayments, we
recapitalized a portion of our SBA debentures at extremely favorable rates, and we raised
over $41 million of equity capital in a successful follow-on offering in September. As we
begin to focus on 2011, we remain pleased with the performance of our existing portfolio and
we are delighted with the quality of new investment opportunities we are seeing.
Third Quarter 2010 Results
Total investment income during the third quarter of 2010 was $9.8 million, compared to total
investment income of $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2009, representing an increase of
37.9%. The Companys increase in investment income is primarily attributable to new
portfolio investments made during 2009 and 2010 which resulted in an increase in total loan
interest, fee, dividend and paid-in-kind interest income of approximately $2.8 million,
offset by a decrease in interest income from cash and cash equivalent investments of $0.1
million.
Net investment income during the third quarter of 2010 was $5.6 million, compared to net
investment income of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2009, representing an increase of
51.0%. The Companys net investment income per share during the third quarter of 2010 was
$0.46, based on a weighted average share count of 12,258,614, as compared to $0.41 during
the third quarter of 2009, based on a weighted average share count of 9,129,192.
The Companys net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $7.2 million during
the third quarter of 2010, as compared to a net decrease in net assets resulting from
operations of $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2009. The Companys net increase in
net assets resulting from operations was $0.59 per share during the third quarter of 2010
based on a weighted average share count of 12,258,614, as compared to a net decrease in net
assets resulting from operations of $0.09 per share during the third quarter of 2009, based
on a weighted average share count of 9,129,192.
The Companys net asset value per share at September 30, 2010, was $11.99 as compared to
$11.08 per share at June 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, the Companys weighted average
yield on its outstanding, currently yielding, debt investments was approximately 15.1%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $74.1 million.
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company completed a public offering of 2.8 million
shares of common stock with net proceeds of approximately $41.3 million.
Commenting on the Companys liquidity and capital resources, Steven C. Lilly, Chief
Financial Officer, stated, Triangle is fortunate to enjoy a strong liquidity position at
what we believe is a very opportune time in the mezzanine market. Based on our cash on hand
as of September 30, 2010, and our incremental SBA commitments, we have access to
approximately $160 million of capital which provides us with significant corporate
visibility as we prepare to move into 2011.
Also during the third quarter of 2010, Triangle pre-paid $22.3 million in Small Business
Administration (SBA) guaranteed debentures that bore interest at a weighted average
interest rate of 5.8%. During the same period, Triangle issued $32.6 million of new 10-year
SBA-guaranteed debentures at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.7%. Triangle also
issued a five-year SBA-guaranteed Low to Moderate Income (LMI) debenture with a principal
amount of $7.8 million and a fixed interest rate of 2.5% for proceeds of $6.8 million. As
of September 30, 2010, the Company had non-callable, fixed rate SBA guaranteed debentures
outstanding totaling $139.0 million. The Company has the ability to issue up to a total of
$225.0 million in SBA-guaranteed debentures.
Dividend Information
On August 25, 2010, Triangle announced that its board of directors had declared a cash
dividend of $0.41 per share. This was the Companys fifteenth consecutive quarterly dividend
since its initial public offering in February, 2007. The dividend was payable as follows:
Record Date: September 8, 2010
Payment Date: September 22, 2010
Payment Date: September 22, 2010
Triangle has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) that provides for reinvestment of
dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a
result, when the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not opted out of
the DRIP will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
Companys common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends.
When the Company declares and pays dividends, it determines the allocation of the
distribution between current income, accumulated income and return of capital on the basis
of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). At each year
end, the Company is required for tax purposes to determine the dividend allocation based on
tax accounting principles. Due to differences between GAAP and tax accounting principles,
the portion of each dividend distribution that is ordinary income, capital gain or return of
capital may differ for GAAP and tax purposes.
Recent Portfolio Activity
During the third quarter of 2010, Triangle made three new investments totaling approximately
$26.1 million, and four debt investments in existing portfolio companies totaling
approximately $3.9 million. In addition, the Company sold one equity investment in a
portfolio company resulting in a realized gain of approximately $0.3 million, and sold a
convertible note investment in a portfolio company resulting in a realized gain of
approximately $0.9 million. Also during the third quarter of 2010, four portfolio company
loans were repaid at par totaling approximately $25.9 million
and Triangle received normal principal
repayments totaling approximately $2.8 million.
