Main Street Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results


HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter of 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

In commenting on Main Street's results, Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We continue to prioritize the health and well-being of our employees and the employees of our portfolio companies, while selectively executing on new investment opportunities and actively supporting our portfolio companies to address the issues and opportunities that exist in the current economic environment.  While the economic environment resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be very challenging, we are pleased that we have continued to have success with both our lower middle market and private loan investment activities.  We greatly appreciate the efforts of our employees and the management teams and employees of our portfolio companies and continue to be very pleased overall with their efforts and activities since the beginning of the pandemic.  We believe that our conservative capital structure and significant liquidity position, which we recently enhanced with our $125 million bond offering, will continue to allow us to manage through the current challenges and to successfully execute on the opportunities that exist with our existing portfolio companies and in our existing pipeline of attractive lower middle market and private loan investment opportunities." 

Mr. Hyzak added, "We are also very pleased with our recent announcement of the agreement under which we would become the sole investment adviser to HMS Income Fund.  We believe that this transition is a natural progression of our historical role with the fund and we are excited about positioning the fund for the future, while also executing our overall strategy to grow our asset management business within our internally managed BDC structure, and continuing to provide this unique benefit to our Main Street stakeholders."

The $9.3 million decrease in total investment income in the second quarter of 2020 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) a $5.6 million decrease in interest income, which was primarily due to lower interest rates primarily resulting from decreases in floating interest rates on investment portfolio debt investments, based upon the decline in the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), and (ii) a $5.0 million decrease in dividend income from investment portfolio equity investments, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in fee income. The $9.3 million decrease in total investment income in the second quarter of 2020 is net of the positive impact of a net increase of $0.3 million related to accelerated prepayment, repricing and other income activity considered less consistent or non-recurring when compared to the same period in 2019.

Cash operating expenses (total operating expenses excluding non-cash, share-based compensation expense) decreased to $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2020 from $19.3 million for the corresponding period of 2019. This decrease in cash operating expenses was principally attributable to (i) a $0.7 million decrease in compensation expense and (ii) a $0.4 million decrease in interest expense. The decrease in compensation expense is primarily related to a $1.7 million decrease in cash incentive compensation accruals, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase as a result of the change in the fair value of our deferred compensation plan assets. Our Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio was 1.4% in the second quarter of 2020, which was flat compared to the same period in 2019, both on an annualized basis.

The $8.3 million decrease in net investment income and the $7.9 million decrease in distributable net investment income, which is net investment income before non-cash, share-based compensation expense, in the second quarter of 2020 were principally attributable to the decrease in total investment income, partially offset by lower operating expenses, both as discussed above.

Net investment income and distributable net investment income on a per share basis for the second quarter of 2020 both include the impact of a greater number of average shares outstanding compared to the corresponding period in 2019 primarily due to (i) shares issued through our at-the-market, or ATM, program, (ii) shares issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans and (iii) shares issued pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. The decrease in net investment income and distributable net investment income on a per share basis includes a decrease of $0.01 per share due to the change in the fair value of our deferred compensation plan assets during the second quarter of 2020 as discussed above.

The $5.1 million increase in the second quarter of 2020 in the net increase in net assets resulting from operations from the second quarter of 2019 was primarily the result of (i) a $10.9 million benefit from the change in the income tax benefit (provision) and (ii) an $8.3 million increase in net unrealized appreciation from portfolio investments, including the impact of accounting reversals relating to realized gains/income (losses), partially offset by (i) an $8.3 million decrease in net investment income as discussed above and (ii) a $6.0 million increase in the net realized loss from investments. The net realized loss from investments of $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 was primarily the result of realized losses of $9.9 million from the exit of three middle market investments, partially offset by the net realized gain of $1.6 million resulting from the full exit of two LMM investments and the partial exit of another LMM investment.

The following table provides a summary of the total net unrealized depreciation of $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2020:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020, we had $68.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $425.0 million of unused capacity under our revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"), which we maintain to support our investment and operating activities, and $35.2 million of remaining Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") debenture capacity. In July 2020, we issued an additional $125.0 million of our 5.20% Notes (as defined below), increasing the unused capacity under our Credit Facility.

Several details regarding our capital structure as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

$              51.8







(a) 

We had equity ownership in 99% of our LMM portfolio companies, and the average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was approximately 41%.

(b)

The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments at cost, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments and any debt investments on non-accrual status.

(c) 

The average EBITDA is calculated using a simple average for the LMM portfolio and a weighted-average for the middle market and private loan portfolios. These calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including two LMM portfolio companies, two middle market portfolio companies and four private loan portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for our investments in these portfolio companies and those portfolio companies whose primary purpose is to own real estate.



The fair value of our LMM portfolio company equity investments was approximately 158% of the cost of such equity investments and our LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing debt through our debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio of 2.7 to 1.0 and a median total EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.8 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to our debt position, these median ratios were 3.0 to 1.0 and 2.7 to 1.0, respectively.(2) (3)

As of June 30, 2020, we had other portfolio investments in twelve companies, collectively totaling $98.1 million in fair value and $126.4 million in cost basis, which comprised approximately 4.1% of our investment portfolio at fair value.

As of June 30, 2020, there was no cost basis in our investment in our wholly-owned portfolio company and registered investment advisor that provides investment management services to third parties (the "External Investment Manager"), and this investment had a fair value of $69.1 million, which comprised approximately 2.9% of our investment portfolio at fair value.

As of June 30, 2020, we had eleven investments on non-accrual status, which comprised approximately 1.9% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and approximately 6.3% at cost. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 100% of the related cost basis as of June 30, 2020.

External Investment Manager

The External Investment Manager is a wholly owned portfolio company and registered investment advisor that provides investment management services to third parties. The External Investment Manager currently maintains an investment sub-advisory relationship with HMS Income, and earns management fees for the services provided to HMS Income. During the second quarter of 2020, the External Investment Manager earned $2.3 million of management fee income from this relationship, and HMS Income ended the second quarter of 2020 with total assets of approximately $930.0 million. The relationship with HMS Income benefited our net investment income by $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 through a $1.8 million reduction of our operating expenses for expenses we allocated to the External Investment Manager for services we provided to it and $0.4 million of dividend income we received from the External Investment Manager.

During the second quarter of 2020, the External Investment Manager entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement under which it will become the sole investment adviser and administrator to HMS Income, subject to certain closing conditions. The parties expect the transaction to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Following the closing of the transaction, the External Investment Manager will replace HMS Adviser as the investment adviser and administrator to HMS Income. The base management fee rate under the External Investment Manager's proposed new investment advisory agreement with HMS Income, which has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of HMS Income, will be reduced from 2.00% to 1.75%, with no changes to the incentive fee calculations. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement is subject to approval of the new investment advisory agreement by stockholders of HMS Income and other customary closing conditions. Post-closing, HMS Income is expected to change its name to MSC Income Fund, Inc.

(1)

Distributable net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense which is non-cash in nature. Main Street believes presenting distributable net investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to distributable net investment income is detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.



(2)

Portfolio company financial information has not been independently verified by Main Street.



(3)

These credit statistics exclude certain portfolio companies for which EBITDA is not a meaningful metric for the statistic.
