Recent Developments

In February 2022, the Company increased its capital commitment to the STRS JV in the amount of an additional $25 million, which brings the Company’s total capital commitment to the STRS JV to $100 million, comprised of $80 million of subordinated notes and $20 million of LLC equity interests. In connection with this increase in the Company’s capital commitment, the Company and STRS Ohio’s amended economic ownership in the STRS JV is approximately 66.67% and 33.33%, respectively.

Stuart Aronson, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This past quarter was a record-setting period for capital deployments with WhiteHorse successfully originating 18 new loans deploying a total of $199.2 million. During the fourth quarter, we successfully completed a primary offering resulting in net proceeds of approximately $33.7 million. The proceeds from the offering were fully deployed in the quarter, resulting in a transaction that was immediately accretive. Our ability to rapidly deploy these proceeds reflects the breadth and quality of our unique sourcing capabilities. The lending market remains active and competitive, with pricing, leverage and documentation terms beginning to return to pre-COVID levels. Our pipeline for future deal flow is at an all-time high due in part to our differentiated three-tiered sourcing approach and relationship with the leading H.I.G. platform. This has allowed us to adhere to our disciplined deal sourcing and rigorous underwriting standards to maintain and grow a healthy portfolio, generating robust cash flows to support our dividend and ultimately creating value for our shareholders.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of WhiteHorse Finance’s investment portfolio was $819.2 million, compared with $690.7 million as of December 31, 2020. The portfolio as of December 31, 2021 consisted of 127 positions across 76 companies with a weighted average effective yield of 9.1% on income-producing debt investments.

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 December 31, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance made investments in 18 new portfolio companies for a total of $181.3 million, added a total of $17.9 million to existing portfolio companies, and made net fundings of $2.7 million to revolver loans. Proceeds from sales and repayments, totaled approximately $35.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, driven by four full realizations in Golden Pear Funding Assetco, LLC, SmartSign Holdings LLC, Policy Services Company, LLC and Convergence Technologies, Inc.

In addition to the transactions discussed above, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance transferred assets comprised of three new portfolio companies, one add-on and the remaining portion of one previously transferred deal totaling $35.1 million to STRS JV in exchange for a net investment in STRS JV of $3.4 million as well as cash proceeds of $31.7 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance invested $371.4 million across 35 new portfolio companies. The Company also invested $72.0 million in existing portfolio companies, exclusive of refinancings. Proceeds from sales and repayments, exclusive of refinancings, totaled approximately $202.1 million for the year. 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 above, during the year ended December 31, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance transferred assets totaling $141.6 million in exchange for a net investment in STRS JV of $23.6 million as well as cash proceeds of $118.0 million.

WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC

As of December 31, 2021, STRS JV’s portfolio totaled $259.5 million, consisted of 28 portfolio companies and had a weighted average effective yield of 7.9% on its portfolio.

Results of Operations

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s net investment income was approximately $7.5 million and $28.8 million, respectively, compared with approximately $6.9 million and $24.2 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately 8.7% and 19.0%, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to higher investment income from STRS JV, accelerated accretion and interest income recognized due to higher repayment activities and larger portfolio size in both the Company and STRS JV. This was partially offset by higher interest expense incurred due to higher leverage balances and higher management fee charged on higher average total assets. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s investment in STRS JV generated an annualized, gross investment yield of approximately 12.6%.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, core net investment income⁽³⁾ was $7.3 million and $29.7 million, or $0.322 per share and $1.405 per share, respectively, compared with $7.1 million and $25.7 million, or $0.348 per share and $1.249 per share, for the same periods in the prior year.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, WhiteHorse Finance reported a net realized and unrealized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions of $4.3 million and a net realized and unrealized gain on investments and foreign currency transactions of $1.3 million, respectively. This compares with net realized and unrealized gains on investments and foreign currency transactions of $1.3 million and $7.5 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to unrealized losses generated on markdowns on two portfolio companies, Grupo HIMA San Pablo, Inc. and PlayMonster LLC.

WhiteHorse Finance reported a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $3.1 million and $30.1 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, which compares with a net increase of $8.2 million and $31.7 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

WhiteHorse Finance’s net asset value was $349.8 million, or $15.10 per share, as of December 31, 2021, as compared with $323.7 million, or $15.46 per share, as of September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, WhiteHorse Finance’s net asset value was $312.9 million, or $15.23 per share.

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 $75.6 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 for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.

Consolidated Schedule of Investments

December 31, 2021

(in thousands)

(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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “SF”), which resets monthly, quarterly or semiannually, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR” or “C”), Canada Prime Rate (“CP”), or the U.S. Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”). The one, three and six-month USD LIBOR were 0.10%, 0.21% and 0.34%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The SOFR, CDOR, Canadian Prime, Prime was 0.05%, 0.52%, 2.45% and 3.25%, respectively, as of December 31, 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 88.2% 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 December 31, 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 234.2% of the Company’s net assets or 96.3% 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 Floor, 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.

(21) Upon closing the Amendment Agreement, a portion of the existing Grupo HIMA San Pablo, Inc. First Lien Secured Term Loan A and First Lien Secured Term Loan B investments were converted into an Amended Term Loan, which is pari passu with the Grupo HIMA San Pablo, Inc. Superpriority Delayed Draw Loan commitment in a liquidation event.
