Management Commentary
In describing the Company’s fourth quarter and full year
activities, Joseph B. Alala, III, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, stated, “Entering 2020, the Company was well positioned,
with no non-accrual investments and a robust pipeline of active
investment opportunities. Due to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic
had on lower middle market small businesses, we were forced to
focus on liquidity, reducing the debt-to-equity ratio of the
Company, and stabilizing our net asset value.”
Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Total investment income was $5.7 million for the fourth quarter
of 2020, compared to $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The decline was attributable to lower interest and fee income,
resulting primarily from a decrease in our debt portfolio.
Total expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $5.7 million,
compared to $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Interest
and financing expenses declined by $1.4 million, resulting from the
$59.0 million repayment of SBA-guaranteed debentures and $2.2
million of bond repurchases of our 2022 Notes during the third
quarter of 2020. Management fees decreased by $0.5 million due to a
decline in total assets.
Net realized gains totaled $0.6 million, or $0.23 per share, for
the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to net realized gains of $1.2
million, for the same period in 2019.
There was net unrealized depreciation of $12 thousand for the
fourth quarter of 2020, compared to net unrealized depreciation of
$3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.
The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was
$0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, or $0.20 per share,
compared to a net decrease of $0.1 million, or $0.03 per share, for
the same period in 2019.
Full Year 2020 Financial Results
Total investment income was $26.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020, compared to $44.0 million for the same period in
2019. Interest and fee income collectively declined $13.1 million,
driven by a decrease in debt balances outstanding during the year.
Dividend income declined by $3.3 million due to $1.0 million in
dividends received from Capitala Senior Loan Fund II, LLC, which
was wound down during 2020, and several other one-time dividends
received from portfolio companies during 2019. PIK income decreased
by $1.0 million year-over-year due to a decline in investments with
a contractual PIK rate.
Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $26.4
million, a decrease of $4.6 million from the comparable period in
2019. Significant variances included (1) $2.0 million decrease in
interest and financing expenses, (2) a $1.5 million decrease in
base management fees, and (3) a $1.2 million decrease in incentive
fees, net of the waiver.
Net realized losses totaled $24.0 million, or $8.88 per share,
for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net realized
losses of $19.8 million, or $7.35 per share, for the same period in
2019.
Net unrealized depreciation totaled $11.6 million, or $4.29 per
share, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net
unrealized depreciation of $20.3 million, or $7.56 per share, for
the same period in 2019.
The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was
$35.4 million, or $13.08 per share, for the year ended December 31,
2020, compared to a net decrease in net assets resulting from
operations of $27.6 million, or $10.29 per share, for the same
period in 2019.

per share, compared to $148.1 million, or $54.84 per share, at
December 31, 2019.
