Gladstone Investment Corporation Reports Financial Results for the
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012
| • | Net Investment Income for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, was $3.5 million and $13.7 million, or $0.16 and $0.62 per share, respectively. |
| • | Net (Decrease) Increase in Net Assets Resulting From Operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, was ($0.4) million and $22.0 million, or ($0.02) and $0.99 per share, respectively. |
McLean, VA, May 21, 2012: Gladstone Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: GAIN) (the “Company”) today announced earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. All per share references are per basic and diluted weighted average common share outstanding, unless noted otherwise.
Net Investment Income for the Quarter: Net Investment Income for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3.5 million, or $0.16 per share, and $1.9 million, or $0.09 per share, respectively, an increase in Net Investment Income of 80.7%. The increase in Net Investment Income was primarily due to holding a larger investment portfolio with higher-yielding debt investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the prior year period.
Net Investment Income for the Fiscal Year: Net Investment Income for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $13.7 million, or $0.62 per share, and $16.2 million, or $0.73 per share, respectively, a decrease in Net Investment Income of 15.0%. The decrease in Net Investment Income was primarily due to a significant amount of dividend and success fee income recorded in the prior year period as part of the exits of A. Stucki Holding Corp. and Chase II Holding Corp., partially offset by a decrease in the incentive fee paid to the Company’s investment adviser, Gladstone Management Corporation, when compared to the prior year period.
Net (Decrease) Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the Quarter: Net (Decrease) Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was ($0.4) million, or ($0.02) per share, and $2.8 million, or $0.13 per share, respectively. The Company recorded net unrealized depreciation on investments of $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to unrealized depreciation experienced on certain control investments. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a net unrealized appreciation on investments of $0.9 million.
Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the Fiscal Year: Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $22.0 million, or $0.99 per share, and $16.4 million, or $0.74 per share, respectively. The Company recorded a net gain on investments of $8.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to unrealized appreciation recognized on certain control and affiliate investments. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a net gain on investments of $0.3 million, primarily due to the unrealized depreciation recorded on Galaxy Tool Holding Corp., which experienced decreased performance and completed a restructuring, partially offset by unrealized appreciation on certain control and affiliate investments.
Investment Portfolio at Fair Value: As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s portfolio was fair valued at 84.7% of cost, as compared to 77.7% as of March 31, 2011. The Company’s aggregate investment portfolio appreciated during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to the net unrealized appreciation experienced in certain control and affiliate investments.

Net Asset Value: Net asset value was $9.38 per common share outstanding at March 31, 2012, as compared to $9.00 per common share outstanding at March 31, 2011.
Asset Characteristics: Total assets were $325.3 million at March 31, 2012, as compared to $241.1 million at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, the Company had investments in 17 portfolio companies with an aggregate cost basis of $266.4 million and an aggregate fair value of $225.7 million. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value was comprised of 73.4% in debt securities and 26.6% in equity securities. Additionally, the Company held $91.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012, including $76.0 million from a short-term loan that was repaid subsequent to quarter end.
Investment Yield: The weighted average yield on the Company’s interest-bearing portfolio, excluding cash and cash equivalents, was 12.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 11.4% for the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The increase in the weighted average yield for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, resulted primarily from the exits of lower interest-bearing debt investments and the addition of higher-yielding debt investments.
Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the following significant events occurred:
| • | Term Preferred Stock Offering: In March 2012, the Company issued 1.6 million shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Term Preferred Stock (“Term Preferred Stock”) at a public offering price of $25.00 per share for net proceeds of $38.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by the Company. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s line of credit, with the remaining proceeds being held to make additional investments and for general corporate purposes. The Company is required to redeem all of the outstanding Term Preferred Stock on February 28, 2017, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, to the date of redemption. The Term Preferred Stock has a preference over the Company’s common stock with respect to these dividends, whereby no distributions are payable on the Company’s common stock unless the stated dividends, including any accrued and unpaid dividends, on the Term Preferred Stock have been paid in full. The Term Preferred Stock trades on NASDAQ under the symbol “GAINP.” |
| • | Recurring Distributions: The Company paid monthly cash distributions to common stockholders of $0.05 per common share for each of January, February and March 2012. Additionally, the Company paid the pro-rata amount for March 2012 to holders of its Term Preferred Stock of $0.12369792 per preferred share. |
| • | Bonus Distributions: In March 2012, the Company declared and paid a bonus dividend to common stockholders of $0.03 per common share. |
Comments from the Company’s President, Dave Dullum: “2012 was a solid year. We originated approximately $76.9 million in new investments and we were able to increase our recurring income from the portfolio, both of which enabled us to increase the monthly common dividend by 25% and to pay a bonus common dividend in March 2012. We have a good liquidity position going into 2013, which allows us to continue putting solid investments on the books. Just last week, we invested $9.5 million in a new affiliate investment. We are excited about our investment pipeline and look to deliver strong results again in fiscal year 2013.”
