Exhibit 99.1
WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2021 Earnings Results and Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.355 Per Share
NEW YORK, November 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (“WhiteHorse Finance” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WHF) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company’s board of directors has declared a distribution of $0.355 per share with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2021. The distribution will be payable on January 4, 2022 to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2021.
Third Quarter 2021 Summary Highlights
Recent Developments
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company issued 1,900,000 shares of its common stock in a public offering at an offering price of $15.81 per share (the “Offering”). The Offering generated net proceeds of approximately $29.4 million. Under the existing underwriting agreement, the underwriters executed the option to purchase an additional 282,300 shares, generating another $4.3 million of net proceeds. The Company’s aggregate net proceeds of the Offering were approximately $33.7 million, inclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions and before offering expenses.
Stuart Aronson, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Gross capital deployments remained strong in the third quarter, offset in part by continuing repayments and refinancings within the portfolio, and we maintained a high level of origination activity. In anticipation of continuing rapid capital deployment, we completed a follow-on equity offering earlier this month, netting approximately $34 million in proceeds. Our pipeline remains very healthy, and this new capital should enable us to continue to grow WhiteHorse Finance through disciplined deal sourcing. Although the lending market has become more competitive in some segments, where pricing, leverage and documentation terms have returned to pre-COVID levels, we believe that our relationship with the leading H.I.G. platform and our differentiated three-tier sourcing capabilities will continue to drive growth. Notwithstanding the competitive backdrop, we believe that we can continue to identify and close deals that meet our rigorous underwriting standards and generate strong cash flow to support our dividend and create value for our shareholders.”
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of WhiteHorse Finance’s investment portfolio was $687.1 million, compared with $670.5 million as of June 30, 2021. The portfolio as of September 30, 2021 consisted of 99 positions across 65 companies with a weighted average effective yield of 9.3% on income-producing debt investments. The average debt investment size (excluding investments in STRS JV (as defined below)) was $7.3 million with the overall portfolio comprised of approximately 82.3% first lien secured loans, 4.3% second lien secured loans, 2.9% equity and 10.5% in investments in STRS JV. Almost all loans were variable rate investments (primarily indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate) with fixed rate securities representing only 0.4% of loans at fair value. Nearly all performing floating rate investments have interest rate floors.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance made investments in four new portfolio companies totaling $47.9 million, added a total of $34.8 million to existing portfolio companies, exclusive of refinancing, and made net fundings of $0.9 million to revolver loans. Proceeds from sales and repayments, exclusive of refinancing, totaled approximately $26.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, driven by two full realizations in LS GFG Holdings Inc. and Connexity, Inc. In addition, the Company refinanced three first lien investments, NNA Services, LLC, EducationDynamics, LLC and Source Code Midco, LLC, resulting in net repayments of approximately $7.3 million. Gross receipts from refinancings were $47.1 million and gross deployments from refinancings were $39.8 million.
In addition to the transactions discussed above, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance transferred assets comprised of two new portfolio companies, three add-ons and the remaining portions of four previously transferred deals totaling $45.7 million to STRS JV in exchange for a net investment in STRS JV of $9.4 million as well as cash proceeds of $36.3 million.
WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC
As of September 30, 2021, STRS JV’s portfolio totaled $239.0 million, consisted of 27 portfolio companies and had a weighted average effective yield of 8.0% on its portfolio.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s net investment income was approximately $7.6 million, compared with approximately $5.9 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately 28.8%. The increase in net investment income for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to accelerated accretion and nonrecurring fee income recognized due to higher repayment activities as well as lesser capital gains incentive fee accrued, and partially offset by higher interest expense incurred due to higher leverage balances for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s investment in STRS JV generated an annualized, gross investment yield of approximately 12.6%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, core net investment income(3) was $7.8 million, or $0.372 per share, compared with $7.8 million, or $0.380 per share, for the same period in the prior year.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance reported net realized and unrealized gains on investments and foreign currency transactions of $0.6 million. This compares with net realized and unrealized gains on investments and foreign currency transactions of $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to higher prior-year unrealized gains generated on markups in the portfolio as a result of the market’s continuing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
WhiteHorse Finance reported a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which compares with a net increase of $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
WhiteHorse Finance’s net asset value was $323.7 million, or $15.46 per share, as of September 30, 2021, as compared with $319.6 million, or $15.42 per share, as of June 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance had cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 million, as compared with $17.8 million as of June 30, 2021, inclusive of restricted cash. As of September 30, 2021, the Company also had $25.4 million of undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facility.

On August 9, 2021, the Company declared a distribution of $0.355 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, consistent with distributions declared for the thirty-sixth consecutive quarter since the Company's initial public offering.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.
(1) Includes investments in WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC (“STRS JV”), an unconsolidated joint venture, totaling $72.1 million, at fair value.
(2) Excludes investments made in STRS JV.
(3) “Core net investment income” is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core net investment income provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects the Company’s financial performance excluding (i) the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, (ii) the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and (iii) excise and other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additional information on core net investment income and a reconciliation of core net investment income to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net investment income, are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.
(4) Based on total capital commitments managed by H.I.G. Capital and affiliates.
SCHEDULE 1
As a supplement to GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided information relating to core net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core net investment income represents net investment income adjusted to exclude the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and excise or other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). There were no excise or other income taxes related to net realized gains and losses nor did the Company incur any costs with refinancing any of its indebtedness for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) | Except as otherwise noted, all investments are non-controlled/non-affiliate investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and provide collateral for the Company’s credit facility. |
(2) | The investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), which resets monthly, quarterly or semiannually, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR” or “C”), or the U.S. Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal (“Prime” or “P”). The one, three and six-month USD LIBOR were 0.08%, 0.13% and 0.16%, respectively, as of September 30, 2021. The CDOR and Prime was 0.45% and 3.25%, respectively, as of September 30, 2021. |
(3) | The interest rate is the “all-in-rate” including the current index and spread, the fixed rate, and the payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rate, as the case may be. |
(4) | The investment or a portion of the investment does not provide collateral for the Company’s credit facility. |
(5) | Not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of total assets. Qualifying assets represented 84.5% of total assets as of the date of the consolidated schedule of investments. |
(6) | Investment is a non-controlled/affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act. |
(7) | The investment has an unfunded commitment in addition to any amounts presented in the consolidated schedule of investments as of September 30, 2021. |
(8) | The investment is on non-accrual status. |
(9) | Security is perpetual with no defined maturity date. |
(10) | Except as otherwise noted, all of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of the date of the consolidated schedule of investments represented 212.3% of the Company’s net assets or 94.2% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. |
(11) | The fair value of each investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. |
(12) | The investment was comprised of two contracts, which were indexed to different base rates, L and P, respectively. The Spread Above Index and Interest Rate presented represent the weighted average of both contracts. |
(13) | Principal amount is non-USD denominated and is based in Canadian dollars. |
(14) | Investment is a controlled affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act. On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, a public pension fund established under Ohio law (“STRS Ohio”), to create WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“STRS JV”), a joint venture, which invests primarily in senior secured first and second lien term loans. |
(15) | In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 2.75% on its “last out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. |
(16) | In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 3.50% on its “last out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. |
(17) | In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 3.00% on its “last out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder. |
(18) | On October 1, 2020, as part of a restructuring agreement between the Company and Arcole Acquisition Corp, the Company’s investments in first lien secured term loans to Arcole Acquisition Corp were converted into common shares of Arcole Holding Corp. |
(19) | At the option of the issuer, interest can be paid in cash or cash and PIK. The issuer may elect to pay up to 2.00% PIK. |
(20) | Investment earns 14.00% that converts to PIK on an annual basis and is recorded in interest and dividend receivable in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. |
