“American Capital experienced a soft second quarter, due in part to depreciation in American Capital's investment in American Capital Asset Management, or ACAM, substantially due to a reduction in projected management fees from the two mortgage REITs that it manages,” said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Nonetheless, we continue our focus on growth of our book value with the result that we were able to produce $21 million of earnings and increase NAV per share by $0.24 to $19.28, a 16% increase over the past year.”
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, net unrealized appreciation, before income taxes, totaled $1 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
| |
• | $75 million unrealized depreciation in American Capital's investment in American Capital Asset Management, LLC, substantially due to a reduction in projected management fees from the two mortgage REITs that it manages; |
| |
• | $39 million of reversal of prior depreciation associated with net realized losses on portfolio investments; |
| |
• | $34 million net unrealized appreciation from American Capital's private finance portfolio, generally as a result of improved multiples; |
| |
• | $12 million net unrealized depreciation from structured products primarily due to decreasing spreads on underlying collateral; and |
| |
• | $12 million net unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, including foreign currency appreciation as a result of a strengthening of the Euro. |
| |
ü | The Company's equity investment in European Capital was valued at $802 million as of June 30, 2013, or 78% of NAV, compared to $790 million as of March 31, 2013, or 85% of NAV. |
PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY, NEW COMMITTED INVESTMENTS AND LOAN PERFORMANCE
In the second quarter of 2013, $150 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments, 4.8% higher than the prior quarter's fair value of these investments. American Capital made $50 million in new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on American Capital's debt investments as of June 30, 2013 was 10.4%, 20 basis points lower than the March 31, 2013 rate of 10.6%. Non-accruing loans at fair value increased $37 million from $208 million at the end of the first quarter to $245 million at June 30. This increase was driven principally by investments in three portfolio companies. Total loans on non-accrual were valued at 70.2% of cost at the end of the quarter, a 370 basis point increase from the prior quarter. This is an estimate of the amount the Company expects to recover on non-accruing loans. The estimated loss on total loans at cost increased 30 basis points from the prior quarter to 5.8%. In addition, 0.9% of total loans were realized during the quarter as a loss. Lastly, loans past due at cost decreased $63 million over the same period to $10 million at the end of Q2.
“We were very pleased with generating $150 million of realizations from portfolio exits, which were at values 4.8% above the fair market value of these investments at the end of the previous quarter, although we were disappointed that the quality and pricing of middle market investment opportunities limited our commitments to $50 million for the quarter,” said Gordon O'Brien, President, Specialty Finance and Operations. “Despite this, we are working on several attractive opportunities for new Operating Companies and add-on acquisitions. With our large portfolio of Operating Companies, our One-Stop Buyout® capability, our ability to make unitranche, second lien and mezzanine investments, we continue to have a competitive advantage when quality investment opportunities become available.”
STOCK REPURCHASE AND DIVIDEND PROGRAM
During the third quarter of 2011, American Capital's Board of Directors adopted a program that may provide for repurchases of shares or dividend payments through December 31, 2013. Under the program, American Capital will consider quarterly setting an amount to be utilized for stock repurchases or dividends. Generally, the amount may be utilized for repurchases if the price of American Capital's common stock represents a discount to the NAV of its shares, and the amount may be utilized for the payment of cash dividends if the price of American Capital's common stock represents a premium to the NAV of its shares.

“We have now completed two years of our Share Repurchase and Dividend Program, and have repurchased 70 million shares, or 20% of the Company's shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011, at an average price of $10.63 per share, totaling almost $750 million,” said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. “Purchases to date have been $1.40 per share accretive to our NAV, which was $19.28 per share as of the end of the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter, we repurchased 9 million shares for $125 million at an average price of $13.77 per share, producing $0.17 in accretion to NAV per share.”
In determining the quarterly amount for repurchases or dividends, the Company's Board will be guided by the Company's cumulative net cash provided by operating activities in the prior quarter and since the beginning of 2012, cumulative repurchases or dividends, cash on hand, debt service considerations, investment plans, forecasts of financial liquidity and economic conditions, operational issues and the then current trading price of American Capital stock.
The repurchase and dividend program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The program does not obligate American Capital to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. During the second quarter of 2013, American Capital made open market purchases of 9.1 million shares, or $125 million, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $13.77 per share. Since the inception of the program, American Capital has made open market purchases of 70.4 million shares, or $748 million, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $10.63 per share. This represented 20% of shares outstanding immediately prior to the inception of the program in August 2011.
