ASSET MANAGEMENT
In the second quarter of 2015, American Capital committed to purchase the interests of American Capital Equity I and American Capital Equity II, two affiliated private equity funds, in 22 portfolio companies for $145 million, which was their fair market value as of March 31, 2015. These purchases are intended to adjust the Company’s asset composition to meet statutory requirements in connection with the spin-off of American Capital Income, Ltd.
Additionally, a European Capital debt fund closed on €318 million ($353 million) of capital commitments, including €153 million ($170 million) of third-party investments and commitments. European Capital sold €162 million ($175 million) of assets into the fund. European Capital’s investment and remaining commitments to the fund total €165 million ($183 million). The Company anticipates a final closing by March 2016 to increase the investment capacity of the fund. The fund will have a three-year investment period and an affiliate of American Capital Asset Management will manage the fund for an annual base management fee of 1.5% and 15% incentive fees, subject to performance hurdles.
ACAS CLO 2015-1, a $552 million CLO fund, closed during the quarter. The CLO will have an approximate four-year investment period, and an affiliate of American Capital Asset Management will manage the fund for an annual base management fee of 0.5% and 20% incentive fees, subject to performance hurdles.
Also, after quarter end, the Company raised ACAS CLO 2015-2, a $510 million CLO fund. The CLO fund will have an approximate four-year investment period, and an affiliate of American Capital Asset Management will manage the fund for an annual base management fee of 0.5% and 20% incentive fees, subject to performance hurdles.
“We made good progress preparing for the spin-off of American Capital Income and remain on track to make initial regulatory filings this September,” said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also made progress in our asset management business, closing the $552 million ACAS CLO 2015-1 and completing the first two closings for a European Capital debt fund, totaling $353 million. We expect a final closing for the European fund by March of next year.”
“We continue to believe in repurchasing our stock when it is trading at meaningful discounts to our NAV, as can be seen by our $93 million of purchases in the second quarter and $1.3 billion of total purchases since we started buybacks in 2011,” continued Mr. Wilkus. “Our stock repurchases have totaled 31% of our shares outstanding immediately prior to the start of the program. Our Board of Directors has recently modified the program and we intend to repurchase $300 million to $600 million of our stock prior to the completion of the American Capital Income spin-off, at prices below 85% of the most recent quarterly reported NAV per share, subject to certain conditions. The very substantial amount of accretion in book value per share that would result from these share repurchases, should make this program highly attractive to shareholders.”
“A key strategy of the spin-off will be positioning the balance sheet of American Capital Income to pay a market rate dividend,” said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer and President, Specialty Finance. “We have made progress during the quarter increasing our NOI before income taxes by 24% to $97 million. Our second quarter NOI before income taxes return on equity was 7.1% compared to 5.6% for the last twelve months. While we have more work to improve the yield, we are making progress.”

“The Sponsor Finance business continues to benefit from a dynamic industry with increased regulation and changes in the competitive landscape”, said Brian Graff, President Private Finance. “In the second quarter, the Sponsor Finance business originated $114 million and an additional $50 million of investments in July. Over 70% of the year to date investments were originated directly with private equity sponsors. We are very pleased with our current origination efforts, sizable backlog and response from sponsors to our recently disclosed increase in underwriting and hold sizes. We believe this puts us on track to achieve the annual volume we were planning.”
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, net unrealized appreciation, before income taxes, on American Capital’s consolidated investment portfolio totaled $140 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
• | $180 million reversal of prior period unrealized depreciation primarily due to the exercise of the WRH, Inc. equity option; partially offset by |
• | $11 million net unrealized depreciation in Structured Products; |
• | $11 million net unrealized depreciation in Senior Floating Rate Loans; and |
• | $10 million net unrealized depreciation in American Capital Asset Management. |
PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
As of June 30, 2015, the Company's investments in Senior Floating Rate Loans were diversified across 255 portfolio companies and 51 industries, with the average issuer concentration at $9.0 million and no single company representing more than 0.4% of the Company's Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company's Senior Floating Rate Loan portfolio as of June 30, 2015 was 4.2%, 10 basis points lower than the March 31, 2015 rate of 4.3%. The weighted average effective interest rate on the consolidated debt investments, excluding Senior Floating Rate Loans, as of June 30, 2015 was 8.8%, 10 basis points lower than the March 31, 2015 rate of 8.9%. The weighted average effective interest rate on European Capital’s debt investments as of June 30, 2015 was 4.1%, 150 basis points lower than the March 31, 2015 rate of 5.6%. Excluding the impact of debt investments on non-accrual, the weighted average effective interest rate on European Capital’s debt investments as of June 30, 2015 was 8.0%. The weighted average effective interest rate on consolidated debt investments as of June 30, 2015 was 6.4%, 20 basis points lower than the March 31, 2015 rate of 6.6%.
As of June 30, 2015, excluding European Capital loans, loans with a fair value of $109 million were on non-accrual, representing 2.7% of total loans at fair value, compared to $98 million, or 2.5%, of loans at fair value as of March 31, 2015. The $11 million increase in the fair value of loans on non-accrual was generally driven by net appreciation of existing non-accrual loans. Total loans on non-accrual were valued at 61.2% of cost at the end of the quarter, an 8.5% increase from the prior quarter. This is an estimate of the amount the Company expects to recover on non-accruing loans. The estimated loss on total loans at cost, defined as net accumulated depreciation on non-accrual loans plus realized losses on loans during the period, was $101 million, or 2.5%.
As of June 30, 2015, European Capital loans with a fair value of $28 million were on non-accrual, representing 15.5% of total European Capital loans at fair value, compared to $20 million, or 5.7%, of European Capital loans at fair value as of March 31, 2015. The $8 million increase in the fair value of European Capital loans on non-accrual was driven by one loan added to non-accrual status. Total European Capital loans on non-accrual were valued at 18.2% of cost at the end of the quarter, a 3.6% increase from the prior quarter. The estimated loss on total loans at cost was $126 million, or 40.5%.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM MODIFIED TO PURCHASE BETWEEN $300 MILLION AND $600 MILLION
American Capital's Board of Directors has modified its Share Repurchase Program beginning in the third quarter. Under the program, American Capital will purchase between $300 million and $600 million of common stock at prices per share below 85% of its most recent quarterly net asset value per share, subject to certain conditions. The purchases will be made prior to the spin-off of American Capital Income by the Company.
During the second quarter of 2015, American Capital made open market purchases of 6.5 million shares, for an aggregate price of $93 million, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $14.32 per share. Since the inception of the program in August 2011, American Capital has made open market purchases of 108.1 million shares, or $1.3 billion, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $11.90 per share. This represents 31% of shares outstanding immediately prior to the launch of the program.

Note: | Excludes portfolio companies of European Capital. For static pool statistics, American Capital’s investment in European Capital was treated as an exited investment at its net asset value on October 1, 2014, the date on which it was consolidated into American Capital. |
1) | Static pool classification is based on the year the initial investment was made. Subsequent add-on investments are included in the static pool year of the original investment. There were no investments made in the 2009 and 2010 static pool years. |
2) | Internal rate of return (“IRR”) calculations are based on a sequence of cash proceeds invested, cash realizations or non-cash consideration received, and the terminal value of an investment over time. For active investments, the terminal value is assumed to be the current fair value. For exited investments, the terminal value is the total cash realization received upon exit. Additionally, IRR calculations exclude securities traded but not yet settled at period end. |
3) | IRR calculations are based on a sequence of cash proceeds invested, cash realizations or non-cash consideration received, and the terminal value of an investment over time. For exited investments, the terminal value is the total cash realization received upon exit. This includes fully exited investments of existing portfolio companies. Additionally, IRR calculations exclude securities traded but not yet settled at period end. |
4) | Excludes investments in Structured Products. |
5) | Excludes equity investments that are the result of conversions of debt and warrants received with the issuance of debt. |

8) | Adjusted EBITDA may reflect certain adjustments to the reported EBITDA of a portfolio company for non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items or other pro-forma items or events to normalize current earnings which a buyer may consider in a change in control transactions. These adjustments may be material and are highly subjective in nature. Portfolio company reported EBITDA is for the most recently available twelve months, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months or current annualized run-rate. |
9) | Debt, which represents the debt and other liabilities senior to ACAS and the total of ACAS’s debt in each portfolio company’s debt capitalization, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. For portfolio companies with a nominal Adjusted EBITDA amount, the portfolio company’s maximum debt leverage is limited to 15 times Adjusted EBITDA. |
10) | Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total cash interest expense of the portfolio company during the most recent twelve month period, or when appropriate as a result of a new debt capital structure, the forecasted twelve months. |
11) | Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total scheduled principal amortization and total cash interest expense of the portfolio company during the most recent twelve month period, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months. |
12) | Excludes investments in which we own only equity. |
13) | Excludes investments in Structured Products, Senior Floating Rate Loans and our investment in European Capital through September 30, 2014. |
