We believe that the strength of the Company’s unique investment strategy – which focuses on acyclical “defensive growth” companies that are well researched by New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. (“New Mountain”), a leading alternative investment firm – is underscored by continued stable credit performance. The Company has had only six portfolio companies, representing approximately $78.2 million of the cost of all investments made since inception in October 2008, or approximately 2.0%, go on non-accrual.
Robert Hamwee, CEO, commented: “The second quarter represented another solid quarter of performance for NMFC. We covered our dividend, increased our book value and continue to maintain a stable portfolio yield. We made significant progress ramping up investments in our second senior loan fund and announced the promotion of John Kline to President.”
“As managers and as significant stockholders personally, we are pleased with the progress of the Company and the completion of another successful quarter, where book value rose and we fully earned our dividend,” added Steven B. Klinsky, NMFC Chairman. “We believe New Mountain’s strategic focus on acyclical “defensive growth” industries and on companies that we know well continues to prove a successful strategy and preserves stockholder value.”
Portfolio and Investment Activity2
As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s NAV was approximately $843.3 million and its portfolio had a fair value of approximately $1,527.7 million in 73 portfolio companies, with a weighted average Yield to Maturity at Cost3 of approximately 10.3%. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company made approximately $136.3 million of originations and commitments4. The $136.3 million includes approximately $77.8 million of investments in five new portfolio company and approximately $58.5 million of follow-on investments in twelve portfolio companies held as of March 31, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $12.2 million of sales in three portfolio company and cash repayments4 of approximately $145.8 million.
Consolidated Results of Operations
The Company’s total adjusted investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $41.5 million and $37.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s total adjusted investment income consisted of approximately $34.5 million5 and $32.3 million5,6 in cash interest income from investments, respectively, prepayment penalties of approximately $3.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, approximately $0.9 million and $1.16 million in payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income from investments, respectively, net amortization of purchase premiums/discounts of approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, cash dividend income of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, PIK dividend income of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and approximately $1.1 million and $0.3 million in other income, respectively.
The Company’s total net expenses after income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $19.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively, excluding $0 and $0 million of accrued hypothetical capital gains incentive fee, respectively. The hypothetical capital gains incentive fee is based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains (Losses)7 and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation (Depreciation)7 from inception through the end of the current period. Actual amounts paid to New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”) are consistent with the investment advisory and management agreement between the Company and the Investment Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreement”), and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value.
Total net expenses after income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 consisted of approximately $6.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of costs associated with the Company’s borrowings and approximately $11.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in net management and incentive fees, excluding $0 and $0 million of accrued hypothetical capital gains incentive fee, respectively. Since the initial public offering (“IPO”), the base management fee calculation has deducted the borrowings under the New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. credit facility (the “SLF Credit Facility”). The SLF Credit Facility had historically consisted of primarily lower yielding assets at higher advance rates. As part of an amendment to the Company’s existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the SLF Credit Facility merged with and into the New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. credit facility (the “Holdings Credit Facility”) on December 18, 2014. Post credit facility merger and to be consistent with the methodology since the IPO, the Investment Adviser will continue to waive management fees on the leverage associated with those assets that share the same underlying yield characteristics with investments that were leveraged under the legacy SLF Credit Facility, which as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled approximately $269.6 million and $251.5 million, respectively. The Investment Adviser cannot recoup management fees that the Investment Adviser has previously waived. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, management fees waived were approximately $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The Company’s net direct and indirect professional, administrative, other general and administrative and income tax expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded approximately $0.8 million and $(13.4) million of adjusted net realized gains (losses), respectively, and $22.0 million and $13.6 million of adjusted net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and securities purchased under collateralized agreements to resell, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, benefit (provision) for taxes was approximately $0.1 million and $(0.1) million, respectively, related to differences between the computation of income for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes as compared to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $34.5 million and total statutory debt outstanding of approximately $600.0 million (approximately $348.0 million of the $495.0 million of total availability on the Holdings Credit Facility, $87.0 million of the $122.5 million of total availability on the NMFC Credit Facility, $115.0 million of convertible notes outstanding and $50.0 million of unsecured notes outstanding). Additionally, the Company had $121.7 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding as of June 30, 2016.
Portfolio and Asset Quality
The Company puts its largest emphasis on risk control and credit performance. On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if deemed necessary, the Company formally rates each portfolio investment on a scale of one to four. Each investment is assigned an initial rating of a “2” under the assumption that the investment is performing materially in-line with expectations. Any investment performing materially below our expectations would be downgraded from the “2” rating to a “3” or a “4” rating, based on the deterioration of the investment. An investment rating of a “4” could be moved to non-accrual status, and the final development could be an actual realization of a loss through a restructuring or impaired sale.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company placed a portion of its first lien position in Permian Tank & Manufacturing, Inc. (“Permian”) on non-accrual status due to its ongoing restructuring. As of June 30, 2016, the portion of the Permian first lien position placed on non-accrual status represented an aggregate cost basis of $17.1 million and an aggregate fair value of $5.0 million.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company placed a portion of its second lien position in Transtar Holding Company (“Transtar”) on non-accrual status due to its ongoing restructuring. As of June 30, 2016, the portion of the Transtar second lien position placed on non-accrual status represented an aggregate cost basis of $24.7 million and an aggregate fair value of $9.1 million.
As of June 30, 2016, four portfolio companies (including Permian and Transtar referenced above) had an investment rating of “3”, with a total cost basis of approximately $42.1 million and a fair value of approximately $26.3 million.
As of June, 2016, three portfolio companies (including Permian and Transtar referenced above) were on non-accrual status and had an investment rating of “4”. As of June 30, 2016, the investments in these portfolio companies had an aggregate cost basis of approximately $43.5 million and an aggregate fair value of approximately $14.5 million.
Recent Developments
The Company has had approximately $79.6 million of originations and commitments since the end of the second quarter through August 1, 2016. This was offset by approximately $37.1 million of repayments8 and $5.7 million of sales during the same period.
On August 2, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared a third quarter 2016 distribution of $0.34 per share payable on September 30, 2016 to holders of record as of September 16, 2016.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, NMFC considers and uses adjusted net investment income as a measure of its operating performance. Adjusted net investment income is defined as net investment income adjusted to reflect income as if the cost basis of investments held at NMFC’s IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the IPO date. Under GAAP, NMFC’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the predecessor operating company’s existing investments to fair market value. Since the total value of the predecessor operating company’s investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments’ cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or issue discount, and different amounts in realized gains and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if a step-up had occurred. For purposes of the incentive fee calculation, NMFC adjusts income as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO (or stepped-up to fair market value). In addition, adjusted net investment income excludes any capital gains incentive fee.
The term adjusted net investment income is not defined under GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net investment income has limitations as an analytical tool and, when assessing NMFC’s operating performance, and that of its portfolio companies, investors should not consider adjusted net investment income in isolation, or as a substitute for net investment income, or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Among other things, adjusted net investment income does not reflect NMFC’s, or its portfolio companies’, actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than NMFC, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools.

Adjusted net investment income is defined as net investment income adjusted to reflect income as if the cost basis of investments held at NMFC’s IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the IPO date. Adjusted net investment income also excludes any capital gains incentive fee.

References to “Yield to Maturity at Cost” assume the accruing investments in our portfolio as of a certain date, the "Portfolio Date", are purchased at adjusted cost on that date and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and are exited at par at maturity. This calculation excludes the impact of existing leverage. Yield to Maturity at Cost uses the LIBOR curves at each quarter’s respective end date. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of LIBOR contracts by the individual companies in the Company’s portfolio or other factors. |

Excludes revolving credit facilities, payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, bridge loans, return of capital and realized gains / losses. | |
|

Includes reclassification into cash interest of recurring management fee and recurring distributions associated with the fully ramped NMFC Senior Loan Program I LLC investment fund held by NMFC from other income and dividend income, respectively. | |

Under GAAP, the Company’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.’s (the “Predecessor Operating Company” or “NMF Holdings”) existing investments to fair market value at the IPO date. Since the total value of the Predecessor Operating Company’s investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments’ cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, as well as different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold or mature in the future. The Company tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to reflect the amortization of purchase or original issue discount on the Company’s investments as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair market value. This is defined as “Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income”. The Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains and losses (“Adjusted Realized Capital Gains (Losses)”) and unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation (Depreciation)”). | |

Excludes realized gain from the sale of an equity position. | |
