Management Commentary
“Net investment income per share increased 10% sequentially to $0.22,
marking the second consecutive quarter of such growth. While growing net
investment income, we have continued to increase our investment
portfolio which totaled $77.6 million at quarter end, the largest level
since our IPO in 2010,” said John Stuart, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Full Circle Capital Corp. “Our primary strategy of investing
in first lien senior secured loans to smaller and lower middle-market
companies with a desirable yield continues to produce highly competitive
portfolio metrics. We now have debt investments in 18 companies with
first lien senior secured loans comprising 88% of the total investment
portfolio. The weighted average yield on the portfolio was 12.55% for
the quarter, within our current target range. Our positions are further
supported by a loan-to-value ratio of 59%, with floating rate
flexibility in 84% of our investments.”
“With the capital raised during the quarter, we have additional
resources to continue to expand our investment portfolio. Originations
and additional funding to existing borrowers totaled $5.5 million for
the second quarter and subsequent to the end of the quarter we added,
net of payoffs, a $2.0 million investment to our portfolio. Our flexible
uni-tranche lending solutions continue to attract quality credit
opportunities allowing us to remain highly selective in the current
market environment.”
