RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 was $27.3 million and $26.4 million, respectively. The $0.9 million increase was primarily driven by higher dividend and other income earned from the SCF. The $27.3 million of total investment income was comprised of $26.3 million from interest income, original issue discount accretion and dividend income(3) and $1.0 million from prepayment income, accelerated accretion/amortization and other income.
Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and March 30, 2015 were $11.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The $0.8 million increase in expenses was driven primarily by an increase in incentive fees. The $11.4 million of total expenses were comprised of $2.1 million of interest and credit facility expenses, $8.0 million of management and incentive fees, and $1.3 million of other operating expenses.
Net investment income after taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $15.8 million, or $0.44 per share, compared with $15.7 million, or $0.52 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015. While total net investment income increased, net investment income per share was lower quarter over quarter, reflecting the timing impact of the Company’s initial public offering in late March, which resulted in higher weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had no net realized gain (loss) on investments and had net unrealized appreciation on investments of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per share.
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $17.9 million, or $0.50 per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In April 2015, the Company issued a total of 900,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in connection with the initial public offering (IPO). Net of underwriting fees, the Company received additional cash proceeds of $17.3 million. In connection with the closing of the over-allotment option, Goldman Sachs paid 70% of the sales load, or $0.8 million.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $301.0 million of borrowings and $259.0 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 2.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash of $11.5 million and had an investment in an affiliated money market fund of $21.3 million.
The Company’s average and ending debt to equity leverage ratio was 0.35x and 0.43x, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared with 0.56x and 0.33x, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in the average debt to equity leverage ratio during the quarter resulted from the issuance of equity in the Company’s IPO on March 18, 2015. The ending debt to equity ratio of 0.43x remains below the Company’s target ratio of 0.50x to 0.75x.(4)

ENDNOTES
| (1) | Adjusted net asset value per share is a non-GAAP measure and is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net asset value per share. Adjusted net asset value per share represents the dilutive impact of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on NAV per share, which was exercised in April 2015. As of March 31, 2015, adjusted and GAAP net asset value per share was $19.41 and $19.43, respectively. GSBD uses this non-GAAP financial measure in analyzing the respective quarter-over-quarter financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate the quarter-over-quarter effect of the over-allotment option that occurred during the second quarter of 2015. |
| (2) | The discussion of the investment portfolio excludes our investment in a money market fund managed by an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. |
| (3) | Interest income excludes accelerated accretion/amortization of $0.2 million. |
| (4) | The average debt to equity leverage ratio has been calculated using the average daily borrowings during the quarter divided by average net assets, adjusted for equity contributions. The ending and average debt to equity leverage ratio excludes unfunded commitments. |
