In commenting on the Company’s results, Garland S. Tucker, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The third quarter of 2014 was extremely active for Triangle. We originated a record $181 million of new investments, we recognized approximately $5 million of net realized gains, we raised approximately $128 million of additional equity capital, and we maintained our low efficiency ratio. We also experienced some challenges with certain legacy investments which resulted in a higher portfolio non-accrual rate and we continued to experience some of the top line interest rate compression that many other Business Development Companies are experiencing. As we look toward year-end 2014 and the first half of 2015, we expect our $0.59 per share quarterly and supplemental dividends to continue to remain stable. Obviously, should our non-accrual assets successfully work through their situations, then we would expect to revisit our dividend guidance with a renewed focus on growth.”

Third Quarter 2014 Results

Total investment income during the third quarter of 2014 was $24.9 million, compared to total investment income of $27.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 8.9%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.2 million decrease in non-recurring fee and dividend income, a $1.9 million decrease in investment income relating to non-accrual assets and a decrease in the weighted average yield on debt investments from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in investment income relating to an increase in portfolio debt investments from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014.

Net investment income during the third quarter of 2014 was $15.4 million, compared to net investment income of $16.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, representing a decrease of 8.1%. The Company’s net investment income per share during the third quarter of 2014 was $0.51, based on a weighted average share count of 30.4 million, as compared to $0.61 per share during the third quarter of 2013, based on a weighted average share count of 27.6 million.

The Company’s net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $8.8 million during the third quarter of 2014, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $23.2 million during the third quarter of 2013. The Company’s net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $0.29 per share during the third quarter of 2014, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.84 per share during the third quarter of 2013.

The Company’s net asset value, or NAV, at September 30, 2014, was $16.64 per share as compared to $16.10 per share at December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s weighted average yield on its outstanding, currently yielding, debt investments was approximately 13.2%.
