NET EARNINGS (LOSS)
Net earnings (loss) improved to $187 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $(547) million, or $(2.65) per diluted share, for the comparable quarter in 2009.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, net unrealized appreciation of investments totaled $264 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:
| | • | | $50 million of appreciation on American Capital’s investment in European Capital Limited primarily due to appreciation in the NAV of European Capital Limited offset by $15 million of foreign currency net depreciation on the investment; |
| | ü | | The equity investment in European Capital is valued at $0.3 billion compared to European Capital’s NAV of approximately $0.8 billion. |
| | • | | $111 million of net appreciation of American Capital’s private finance portfolio primarily a result of improved portfolio company performance and improved multiples; and |
| | • | | $103 million of reversals of prior unrealized depreciation associated with net realized losses on portfolio investments. |
As of March 31, 2010, NAV per share was $8.98, an increase of $0.69 per share from a NAV per share of $8.29 as of December 31, 2009.
“In April, we raised $295 million of our equity at an approximately 5% discount to our closing price from institutions that have significant experience investing in financial institutions. We will put this new capital to work investing in new and existing portfolio companies, debt repayment and general corporate purposes,” said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. “This is a strong vote of confidence in our ability to grow shareholder value. This new capital plus asset appreciation, together with additional liquidity events has increased our cash balance to $1.2 billion, improved our asset coverage ratio and strengthened our balance sheet.”
PORTFOLIO LIQUIDITY AND PERFORMANCE
In the first quarter of 2010, $163 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments and exits, which were 3.7% lower than the prior quarter’s valuations of the investments. There was $84 million in new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company’s private finance debt investments as of March 31, 2010 was 10.3%, 40 basis points higher than as of December 31, 2009. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $820 million as of March 31, 2010 and $1.2 billion as of April 30, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, loans with a fair value of $263 million were on non-accrual representing 7.0% of total loans at fair value, compared to $290 million fair value of non-accrual loans representing 7.8% of total loans at fair value as of December 31, 2009.
