On September 16,
2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital
Investment Corporation ("GCIC"). The merger was accounted for under
the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combinations —
Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the
consideration paid to GCIC's stockholders exceeded the relative
fair values of the assets acquired, the premium paid by the Company
was allocated to the cost of the GCIC assets acquired by the
Company pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately
following the acquisition of GCIC, the Company recorded its assets
at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase
premium allocated to the cost basis of the GCIC assets acquired was
immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium
allocated to investments in loan securities acquired from GCIC will
amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a
corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans
acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium
allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize
over the life of the equity securities through interest income and,
assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the GCIC equity
securities acquired and disposition of such equity securities at
fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a
corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon
disposition of the GCIC equity securities acquired.
|
|
|
|
As a supplement to
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial
measures, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP financial
measures that it believes are useful for the reasons described
below:
|
|
|
|
•
|
"Adjusted Net
Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income
Per Share" – excludes the amortization of the purchase premium
and the accrual for the capital gain incentive fee required under
GAAP (including the portion of such accrual that is not payable
under the Company's investment advisory agreement) from net
investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
"Adjusted Net
Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)" and "Adjusted Net
Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share" – excludes the
unrealized loss resulting from the purchase premium write-down and
the corresponding reversal of the unrealized loss from the
amortization of the premium from the determination of realized and
unrealized gain/(loss) in accordance with GAAP.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
"Adjusted Net
Income/(Loss)" and "Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share"
– calculates net income and earnings per share based on Adjusted
Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized
Gain/(Loss). "Adjusted earnings per share" also excludes the impact
of the retroactive adjustment to the weighted average shares
calculation due to the bonus element of the rights offering and the
resulting impact on earnings per share.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company believes
that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium write
down in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for
investors as it is a non-cash expense/loss resulting from the
acquisition of GCIC and is one method the Company uses to measure
its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the
Company believes excluding the accrual of the capital gain
incentive fee in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful as
it includes the portion of such accrual that is not contractually
payable under the terms of the Company's investment advisory
agreement with GC Advisors. Finally, the Company believes
excluding the impact of the retroactive adjustment to the weighted
average shares calculation due to the bonus element of the rights
offering and the resulting impact on per share data is useful for
investors as it presents per share financial data that is
consistent with what was previously reported.

First Fiscal Quarter 2021 Highlights
- Net investment income per share for each of the quarters ended
December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 was $0.23. Excluding $0.06 per share in purchase premium amortization
from the GCIC acquisition, Adjusted Net Investment Income Per
Share1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $0.29. This compares to Adjusted Net Investment
Income Per Share1 of $0.28
for the quarter ended September 30,
2020 when excluding $0.05 per
share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC
acquisition.
- Net realized and unrealized gain per share for the quarter
ended December 31, 2020 was
$0.33. Adjusted Net Realized and
Unrealized Gain Per Share1 was $0.27 when excluding the $0.06 per share reversal of net realized loss and
unrealized depreciation resulting from the amortization of the
purchase premium. The Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain Per
Share1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 primarily resulted from a
continued reversal in unrealized depreciation in the fair value of
some of our portfolio company investments that was recognized
during the quarter ended March 31,
2020 primarily due to the adverse economic effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The partial reversal in unrealized depreciation
for the quarter ended December 31,
2020 was primarily attributable to portfolio companies that
generally continued to perform well, despite an economy that
remained COVID-impacted, and private equity sponsors that have
generally continued to step up to support their portfolio
companies. For additional analysis, please refer to the Quarter
Ended 12.31.20 Investor Presentation
available on the Investor Resources link on the homepage of
Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under
Events/Presentations. The Investor Presentation was also filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K.
These results compare to net realized and unrealized gain per share
of $0.34 during the quarter ended
September 30, 2020. Adjusted Net
Realized and Unrealized Gain Per Share1 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2020 was
$0.29 when excluding the $0.05 per share reversal of net realized loss and
unrealized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase
premium.
- Earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $0.56 as compared to $0.57 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted Earnings Per
Share1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $0.56 as compared to $0.57 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
- Net asset value per share increased to $14.60 at December 31,
2020 from $14.33 at
September 30, 2020.
- On December 30, 2020, we paid a
quarterly distribution of $0.29 per
share and on February 5, 2021, our
board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of
$0.29 per share, which is payable on
March 30, 2021 to stockholders of
record as of March 5, 2021.

Total investments in portfolio companies at fair value were
$4,507.2 million at December 31,
2020. As of December 31, 2020, total assets were
$4,802.6 million, net assets were
$2,442.1 million and net asset value
per share was $14.60.
Consolidated Results of Operations
For the first fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company reported GAAP
net income and Adjusted Net Income1 of $94.4 million or $0.56 per share. GAAP net investment income
was $39.0 million or $0.23 per share and Adjusted Net Investment
Income1 was $48.2 million
or $0.29 per share. GAAP net
realized and unrealized gain was $55.4
million or $0.33 per share and
Adjusted Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)1 was
$46.2 million or $0.27 per share.
Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to
various factors, including the level of new investment commitments,
the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation, including as a result of the effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net
income may not be meaningful.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity and capital resources are derived from
the Company's debt securitizations (also known as collateralized
loan obligations, or CLOs), unsecured notes, U.S. Small Business
Administration, or SBA, debentures, revolving credit facilities and
cash flow from operations. The Company's primary uses of funds from
operations include investments in portfolio companies and payment
of fees and other expenses that the Company incurs. The Company has
used, and expects to continue to use, its debt securitizations,
unsecured notes, SBA debentures, revolving credit facilities,
proceeds from its investment portfolio and proceeds from offerings
of its securities and its dividend reinvestment plan to finance its
investment objectives.
As of December 31, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and
foreign currencies of $27.0 million,
restricted cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of
$244.1 million and $2,332.6 million of debt outstanding. As of
December 31, 2020, subject to leverage and borrowing base
restrictions, we had approximately $69.9
million of remaining commitments and $69.9 million of availability, in the aggregate,
on our revolving credit facilities with various banks. In addition,
as of December 31, 2020, we had $100.0
million of remaining commitments and availability on our
unsecured line of credit with GC Advisors and $55.5 million of unfunded debenture commitments
available to be drawn, subject to customary SBA regulatory
requirements.
On December 21, 2020, we amended
the GCIC 2018 debt securitization to, among other things, refinance
the $38.5 million of Class A-2 GCIC
2018 Notes, reducing the fixed interest rate from 4.665% to 2.498%.
We also amended our revolving credit facility with Morgan Stanley
on January 29, 2021 to, among other
things, extend the reinvestment period through May 3, 2021, extend the maturity date to
May 1, 2024, and decrease the maximum
borrowing capacity from $325.0
million to $250.0 million.
Portfolio and Asset Quality
GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of the
Company's investments and rates each of them based on an internal
system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system
is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our
competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we
refer to as GC Advisors' internal performance ratings:
|
Internal
Performance Ratings
|
|
Rating
|
|
Definition
|
|
5
|
|
Involves the least
amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above
expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally
favorable.
|
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
Involves an
acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of
origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and
the risk factors are neutral to favorable.
|
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
Involves a borrower
performing below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk
has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out
of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are
generally not past due.
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
Involves a borrower
performing materially below expectations and indicates that the
loan's risk has increased materially since origination. In addition
to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt
covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more
than 180 days past due).
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
|
Involves a borrower
performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the
loan's risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or
all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are
substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be
repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan
to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.
|
Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of
investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of
any of our investments. For additional analysis on the
Company's internal performance ratings as of December 31, 2020
and the impact from COVID-19, please refer to the Quarter Ended
12.31.20 Investor Presentation

Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under
