Management Commentary
“Our third quarter results indicate that the overall health of Fidus’ portfolio continues to improve. We ended the quarter with NAV per share of $15.94, a 3.6% increase versus second quarter,” said Edward Ross, Chairman and CEO of Fidus Investment Corporation. “As expected, originations were paused this quarter but, with deal flow recovering, our pipeline of opportunities is increasingly robust. We remain steadfast in our commitment to our underwriting discipline of selectively investing in lower middle market companies with defensive characteristics and strong cash flow profiles. We continue to manage the business with an abundance of caution, focused on maintaining a healthy liquidity position and preserving long-term capital during these uncertain times.”
(1) Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:
On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAPmeasure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable torealized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) tothe extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe thatadjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is notmeant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of net investment income to adjusted net investment income are set forth in Schedule 1.

All values are in US Dollars.
The $1.9 million increase in total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.6 million increase in total interest income (which includes a $1.0 million decrease in payment-in-kind interest income) resulting from higher average debt investment balances outstanding, (ii) a $0.5 million increase in dividend income due to increased levels of distributions received from equity investments and tax true-ups related to the tax character of prior year distributions, and (iii) a $(0.4) million decrease in fee income resulting from a decrease in structuring fees due to a comparative decrease in new investments, partially offset by an increase in prepayment and amendment fees.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total expenses, including income tax provision, were $14.2 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 19.7%, from the $11.8 million of total expenses, including the income tax provision, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.5 million increase in capital gains incentive fee accrued, (ii) a $0.5 million increase in interest and financing expenses due to an increase in average borrowings outstanding (iii) a $0.2 increase in income incentive fee, and (iv) a $0.1 million increase in professional fees.
Net investment income decreased by $(0.5) million, or (6.2)% to $6.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, as a result of the $2.4 million increase in total expenses including income tax provision, partially offset by the $1.9 million increase in total investment income. Adjusted net investment income^(1)^, which excludes the capital gains incentive fee accrual, increased by $1.0 million, or 11.5%, to $9.7 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the total net realized gain on investments, net of income tax provision on realized gains, was $1.3 million, as compared to total net realized gain on investments, net of income tax provision on realized gains, of $10.6 million for the same period in 2019.
Portfolio and Investment Activities
As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of our investment portfolio totaled $715.4 million and consisted of 63 active portfolio companies and three portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. Our total portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 99.9% of the related cost basis as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, 19 portfolio company’s debt investments bore interest at a variable rate, which represented $203.0 million, or 32.4%, of our debt investment portfolio on a fair value basis, and the remainder of our debt investment portfolio was comprised of fixed rate investments. As of September 30, 2020, our average active portfolio company investment at amortized cost was $11.3 million, which excludes investments in the three portfolio companies that have sold their underlying operations. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 12.1% as of September 30, 2020. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates for debt investments at cost as of September 30, 2020, including the accretion of OID and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status, if any.
As of September 30, 2020, we had debt investments in one portfolio company on non-accrual status, which had an aggregate cost and fair value of $35.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2020, we had $24.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $77.0 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). As of September 30, 2020, we had SBA debentures outstanding of $147.0 million, $50.0 million outstanding of our 5.875% notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), $69.0 million outstanding of our 6.000% notes due 2024, $63.3 million outstanding of our 5.375% notes due 2024 (the “November 2024 Notes” and collectively with the 2023 Notes and February 2024 Notes, the “Public Notes”), and $23.0 million outstanding under our Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding was 4.6%.
Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2020, we exited our debt and equity investments in Pugh Lubricants, LLC. We received payment in full of $26.6 million on our subordinated debt investment, which includes a prepayment fee. We received a distribution on our common equity investment for a realized gain of approximately $0.5 million.
On October 28, 2020, we invested $6.0 million in second lien debt, which was a partial funding of a $12.0 million note commitment, and $1.5 million common equity in a leading regional distributor of pool equipment and supplies.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Dividend of $0.30 Per Share and Supplemental Dividend of $0.04 Per Share Declared
On October 26, 2020, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share payable on December 18, 2020 to stockholders of record as of December 4, 2020. In addition, our Board of Directors declared a supplemental dividend of $0.04 per share payable December 18, 2020 to stockholders of record as of December 4, 2020.
When declaring dividends, our board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which differs from consolidated income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of undistributed taxable income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of 2020 taxable income, as well as the tax attributes for 2020 dividends, will be made after the close of the 2020 tax year. The final tax attributes for 2020 dividends will generally include ordinary taxable income but may also include capital gains, qualified dividends and return of capital.
Fidus has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP at least two days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

Schedule 1
Supplemental Information Regarding Adjusted Net Investment Income
On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses for such year, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
