TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

$25 Million Share Repurchase Program Authorized

Declares Fourth Quarter 2015 Dividend of $0.36 Per Share

Menlo Park, Calif., November 10, 2015 — TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (NYSE: TPVG) (the “Company” or "TPVG"), the leading financing provider to venture growth stage companies backed by a select group of venture capital firms in the technology, life sciences and other high growth industries, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2015.  TPVG also declared a fourth quarter 2015 dividend of $0.36 per share.  

Third Quarter 2015 Highlights:

“We continue to execute on our strategy of deploying our capital in a disciplined fashion at attractive risk adjusted returns,” said Jim Labe, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of TPVG.  “Our fundings during the third quarter were our second highest since our initial public offering in March 2014, reflecting the strong demand for debt from venture growth stage companies.”

“Our performance this quarter reflects our differentiated venture growth stage lending model,” said Sajal Srivastava, president and chief investment officer of the Company.  “We believe that the combination of our growing investment portfolio, strong portfolio yield, stable dividend and recently announced share repurchase program will help drive increased returns and greater value for our shareholders.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company entered into $86.0 million of new commitments, funded six debt investments totaling $53.1 million in principal balance, and acquired warrants valued at approximately $0.7 million.  Of the $53.1 million of debt investments funded in the third quarter, approximately $43.1 million, or 81%, were funded during the month of September.  As a result, net investment income for the third quarter reflects less than a full quarter’s benefit of these new fundings. The Company’s weighted average portfolio yield for the third quarter was 17.5%. The Company calculates weighted average portfolio yield as the annualized rate of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio at the beginning of each month in the period. The Company had no prepayment activity during the third quarter.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had 80 investments in 32 companies. The total cost and fair value of these investments were approximately $260.7 million and $262.1 million, respectively.  

The following table shows detailed information about the total investment portfolio as of September 30, 2015.

Unfunded Commitments

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled approximately $170.4 million, $22.0 million of which are dependent upon customers reaching certain milestones before being permitted to request funding. Of the $170.4 million of unfunded commitments, $20.0 million will expire during 2015 if not drawn prior to expiration. Since unfunded commitments may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

Signed Term Sheets

During the third quarter, TriplePoint Capital (“TPC”) originated $115.5 million of signed, non-binding term sheets to venture growth stage companies. All of these opportunities are subject to a number of conditions including completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive documentation and investment committee approval, as well as compliance with TPC’s allocation policy.  Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be completed or assigned to the Company even though the Company is the primary vehicle through which TPC focuses its venture growth stage business.  

Results of Operations

For the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s total investment and other income was $9.2 million as compared to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, representing a weighted average portfolio yield of 17.5% on its debt investments during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to 14.5% for the third quarter of 2014.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s total investment and other income was $30.7 million, representing a weighted average portfolio yield of 16.7% on its debt investments.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were approximately $4.6 million as compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2014.  Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 consisted of $1.5 million of base management fees, $0.2 million of income incentive fees, $0.2 million of accrued capital gains incentive fees, $1.7 million of interest expense and amortization of deferred credit facility costs, $0.4 million of administration agreement expenses and $0.6 million of general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s operating expenses were $14.7 million.  

For the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded net investment income of approximately $4.7 million, or $0.28 per share, as compared to approximately $3.5 million, or $0.36 per share for the third quarter of 2014.  The Company’s core net investment income, which excludes the impact of the capital gains incentive fee, was approximately $4.9 million, or $0.29 per share, for the third quarter as compared to approximately $3.8 million, or $0.38 per share, for the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s net investment income was $15.9 million, or $1.10 per share, and core net investment income was $15.8 million, or $1.09 per share. The Company believes an important measure of the investment income that the Company distributes each year is core net investment income since capital gains incentive fees are accrued based on net realized and unrealized gains but are not earned until net realized gains occur.

For the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s net change in unrealized gains was approximately $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, as compared to an unrealized gain of approximately $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2014.  The net change in unrealized gains in the third quarter of 2015 consisted of approximately $1.2 million for the increase in fair value of debt investments relating primarily to the expected prepayment of loans from one customer, approximately $47 thousand for the increase in fair value of warrants and approximately $0.2 million unrealized loss for the decrease in fair value of equity held in a publicly traded company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s net change in unrealized losses was approximately $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share.

The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the third quarter of 2015 was approximately $5.7 million, or $0.34 per share, as compared to $4.7 million, or $0.47 per share, for the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations was approximately $15.5 million, or $1.07 per share.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $2.4 million, or $0.14 per share, of undistributed taxable income from ordinary income.

Credit Quality

The Company maintains a credit watch list, which places borrowers into one of five categories based on management’s judgment of credit quality, where Clear, or 1, is the highest rating and new loans are generally assigned a ranking of White, or 2.  As of September 30, 2015, the weighted average credit ranking of the Company’s debt investment portfolio was 2.10, as compared to 2.01 at the end of the prior quarter. The change primarily reflects the downgrade of $20.9 million in principal balance of loans to Virtual Instruments Corporation from category ‘2’ to category ‘3’.

The Company’s net asset value per share as of September 30, 2015 was $14.52 per share, compared to $14.54 per share as of June 30, 2015.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2014.

RECONCILIATION OF CORE NET INVESTMENT INCOME

(dollars in thousands, except share data)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded accrued capital gains incentive fee of approximately $0.2 million and a reversal of $0.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded accrued capital gains incentive fee of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the period from March 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2014. The capital gains incentive fee accrual, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles, is calculated on the basis of net realized and unrealized gains and losses at the end of each period. The accrued capital gains incentive fee related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only have become payable to its investment adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of its portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”).

The amount of the capital gains incentive fee, if any, which will actually be payable is determined in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and is calculated as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Agreement).  The terms of the Agreement state that the capital gains incentive fee calculation is based on net realized gains, if any, offset by gross unrealized depreciation for the calendar year.  No effect is given to gross unrealized appreciation in this calculation.
