Third Quarter 2012 Results
Total investment income during the third quarter of 2012 was $24.3 million, compared to total investment income of $16.2 million for the third quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 50.0%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in total loan interest income due to a net increase in portfolio investments, an increase in non-recurring fee income of approximately $1.4 million and $0.7 million of non-recurring dividend income. On a per share basis, non-recurring dividend income for the third quarter of 2012 was approximately $0.03.
Net investment income during the third quarter of 2012 was $15.9 million, compared to net investment income of $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 52.8%. The Company's net investment income per share during the third quarter of 2012 was $0.58 based on a weighted average share count of 27,290,493 as compared to $0.52 per share during the third quarter of 2011, based on a weighted average share count of 20,015,230.
The Company's net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $16.2 million during the third quarter of 2012, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $17.5 million during the third quarter of 2011.
The Company's net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.59 per share during the third quarter of 2012 based on a weighted average share count of 27,290,493, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.87 per share during the third quarter of 2011, based on a weighted average share count of 20,015,230.
The Company's net asset value, or NAV, per share at September 30, 2012, was $15.33 as compared to $14.68 per share at December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, the Company's weighted average yield on its outstanding, currently yielding, debt investments was approximately 14.7%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Commenting on the Company's liquidity position, Steven C. Lilly, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Triangle's current capital structure is as strong as it has ever been. Including the effects of our recent bond offering, coupled with the liquidity provided by our new $165 million senior credit facility, our available SBA debentures, and our cash on hand, Triangle's current available liquidity approximates $300 million. This liquidity provides us a clear path to continue executing on our business strategy.”
At September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $60.1 million.
In September, 2012, the Company announced that it closed a four-year senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with an initial commitment of $165.0 million. The Credit Facility replaced the Company's existing $75.0 million senior secured credit facility. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature which allows for an increase in the total loan size up to $215.0 million and also contains two one-year extension options, bringing the total potential term to six years from closing. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $26.0 million in debt outstanding under the Credit Facility.
During the third quarter of 2012, Triangle prepaid $30.4 million in Small Business Administration-(“SBA”) guaranteed debentures that bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding non-callable, fixed rate SBA guaranteed debentures totaling $183.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.5%. The Company has the ability to issue $40.8 million in additional SBA-guaranteed debentures.
Subsequent to quarter end, Triangle filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) were offered. On November 6, 2012, the underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase an additional $10.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes, bringing the total offering to $80.5 million with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $77.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses paid by the Company. The Notes will 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, 2015. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2012. The Notes trade on the NYSE under the symbol “TCCA.”
Dividend and Distribution Information
On August 29, 2012, Triangle announced that its board of directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.52 per share, representing an 18.2% year-over-year increase and a 4.0% increase over the second quarter of 2012. This was the Company's twenty-third consecutive quarterly dividend since its initial public offering in February, 2007, and was the Company's thirteenth dividend increase. The dividend was payable as follows:
Record Date: September 12, 2012
Payment Date: September 26, 2012
At the time of its IPO in February, 2007, Triangle 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 Company's 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 2012, Triangle made eight new investments totaling approximately $71.9 million. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company received four loan repayments at par totaling approximately $38.1 million and received normal principal repayments and partial loan prepayments totaling approximately $1.3 million.
