 On September 16, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation ("GCIC"). The merger was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combinations ? Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the consideration paid to GCIC's stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the assets acquired, the premium paid by the Company was allocated to the cost of the GCIC assets acquired by the Company pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately following the acquisition of GCIC, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the GCIC assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities acquired from GCIC will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the GCIC equity securities acquired and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the GCIC equity securities acquired.

As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful for the reasons described below:

The Company believes that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium write down in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as it is a non-cash expense/loss resulting from the acquisition of GCIC and is one method the Company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company believes excluding the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful as it includes the portion of such accrual that is not contractually payable under the terms of the Company's investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors.  Finally, the Company believes excluding the impact of the retroactive adjustment to the weighted average shares calculation due to the bonus element of the rights offering and the resulting impact on per share data is useful for investors as it presents per share financial data that is consistent with what was previously reported.

Total investments in portfolio companies at fair value were $4,395.3 million at March 31, 2021.  As of March 31, 2021, total assets were $4,605.3 million, net assets were $2,499.1 million and net asset value per share was $14.86. 

Consolidated Results of Operations

For the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company reported GAAP net income and Adjusted Net Income1 of $91.3 million or $0.55 per share. GAAP net investment income was $40.3 million or $0.24 per share and Adjusted Net Investment Income1 was $49.0 million or $0.29 per share.  GAAP net realized and unrealized gain was $51.0 million or $0.31 per share and Adjusted Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)1 was $42.3 million or $0.26 per share.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation, including as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity and capital resources are derived from the Company's debt securitizations (also known as collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs), unsecured notes, U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, debentures, revolving credit facilities and cash flow from operations. The Company's primary uses of funds from operations include investments in portfolio companies and payment of fees and other expenses that the Company incurs. The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its debt securitizations, unsecured notes, SBA debentures, revolving credit facilities, proceeds from its investment portfolio and proceeds from offerings of its securities and its dividend reinvestment plan to finance its investment objectives.

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $77.1 million, restricted cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $107.0 million and $2,086.2 million of debt outstanding. As of March 31, 2021, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $499.8 million of remaining commitments and $499.8 million of availability, in the aggregate, on our revolving credit facilities with various banks. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, we had $100.0 million of remaining commitments and availability on our unsecured line of credit with GC Advisors and $65.0 million of unfunded debenture commitments available to be drawn, subject to customary SBA regulatory requirements.

On February 11, 2021, we closed on a $475.0 million revolving credit facility with JP Morgan, which matures on February 11, 2026. The interest rate on the facility ranges from 1 month LIBOR + 1.75% to 1 month LIBOR + 1.875%.

On February 24, 2021, we issued $400.0 million of unsecured notes, which bear a fixed interest rate of 2.50% and mature on August 24, 2026.

On February 23, 2021, we decreased the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility with Morgan Stanley to $75.0 million. On April 13, 2021, we amended the facility to, among other things, extend the reinvestment period to April 12, 2024 from May 3, 2021, extend the maturity date to April 12, 2026 from May 1, 2024, and reduce the interest rate on borrowings to 1 month LIBOR + 2.05% from 1 month LIBOR + 2.45%.

Portfolio and Asset Quality

GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of the Company's investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors' internal performance ratings:




Internal Performance Ratings

Rating


Definition

5


Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.




4


Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.




3


Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.




2


Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).




1


Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.




Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.  For additional analysis on the Company's internal performance ratings as of March 31, 2021 and the impact from COVID-19, please refer to the Quarter Ended 03.31.21 Investor Presentation available on Investors Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.
