Apollo Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:AINV) or the “Company,” or
“Apollo Investment,” today announced financial results for its
second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company’s
net investment income was $0.18 per share for the quarter ended
September 30, 2016, compared to $0.16 per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s net asset value (“NAV”)
was $6.95 per share as of September 30, 2016 compared to $6.90
as of June 30, 2016.
On November 7, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a
dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on January 5, 2017 to
shareholders of record as of December 21, 2016.
Mr. James Zelter, Apollo Investment’s Chief Executive Officer,
commented, “We continue to make steady progress toward the
successful execution of the strategy that we outlined last quarter.
During the period, we reduced our exposure to certain existing
verticals including oil and gas and structured credit and closed
two life sciences co-investment transactions. Given the competitive
environment, we were disciplined investors and reduced our net
leverage ratio during the period which provides us with dry powder
to deploy in more proprietary asset classes when attractive
opportunities become available.” Mr. Zelter continued, “During the
quarter, we continued to actively repurchase our stock below NAV
which is a component of our strategy to deliver value to our
shareholders.”
