WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Results and Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.355 Per Share

NEW YORK, November 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (“WhiteHorse Finance” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WHF) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. In addition, the Company’s board of directors has declared a distribution of $0.355 per share with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2022. The distribution will be payable on January 4, 2023 to stockholders of record as of December 21, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Summary Highlights

Net Asset Value of $343.0 million, or $14.76 per share
Investment portfolio(1) totaling $764.6 million
STRS JV investment portfolio totaling $280.9 million
Gross investment deployments(2) of $39.5 million for the third quarter, including new originations of $26.1 million and $13.4 million of fundings for add-ons to existing investments
Net investment income of $9.8 million, or $0.420 per share
Core net investment income of $8.6 million, or $0.372 per share(3)
Third quarter distribution of $0.355 per share

Stuart Aronson, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “A rising interest rate environment positively impacted our results this past quarter as nearly 100% of our debt portfolio is comprised of floating rate investments. We believe, given the modest leverage levels that we underwrite our loans to, that the majority of our portfolio companies will be able to service our debt in a rising interest rate environment. Additionally, our portfolio remains overwhelmingly represented by non-cyclical or light cyclical borrowers. Despite continued economic headwinds, WhiteHorse ended the quarter with no investments on non-accrual status, and the portfolio is holding up very well. While our pipeline for future deal flow is at record levels, due in part to our differentiated three-tiered sourcing approach and relationship with the leading H.I.G. platform, we have always employed a cautious approach based on an extreme downside scenario and are keeping a careful eye on the market backdrop, especially in the consumer sector. Given the broad reset in credit pricing, we believe that WhiteHorse will be able to selectively take advantage of market conditions and redeploy capital from repayments into higher yielding investments. Combined with portfolio growth and the performance of the STRS JV, this should ultimately lead to earnings accretion and greater coverage of our dividend.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of WhiteHorse Finance’s investment portfolio was $764.6 million, compared with $766.5 million as of June 30, 2022. The portfolio as of September 30, 2022 consisted of 107 positions across 68 companies with a weighted average effective yield of 11.4% on income-producing debt investments. The average debt investment size (excluding investments in STRS JV (as defined below)) was $7.7 million with the overall portfolio comprised of approximately 80.6% first lien secured loans, 2.7% second lien secured loans, 3.4% equity and 13.3% in investments in STRS JV. Almost all loans were variable rate investments (primarily indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate or Secured Overnight Financing Rate) with fixed rate securities representing only 0.4% of loans at fair value. Nearly all performing floating rate investments have interest rate floors.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, WhiteHorse Finance made investments in three new portfolio companies for a total of $26.1 million, added a total of $13.4 million to existing portfolio companies, and made net fundings of $0.6 million to revolver loans. Proceeds from sales and repayments totaled approximately $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by three full realizations in Mills Fleet Farm Group, LLC, Nelson Worldwide, LLC, and Maxitransfers Blocker Corp.

WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC

As of September 30, 2022, STRS JV’s portfolio totaled $280.9 million, consisted of 28 portfolio companies and had a weighted average effective yield of 10.1% on its portfolio.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s net investment income was approximately $9.8 million, compared with approximately $7.6 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately 28.9%. The increase


in net investment income for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to higher investment income from interest income and STRS JV due to larger portfolio sizes in both the Company and STRS JV, an increase in base rates and lower incentive fee expense. The lower incentive fee expense was due to a reversal of capital gains incentive fee component as a result of $5.9 million in net realized and unrealized losses recorded in the current quarter. This was partially offset by higher interest expense incurred due to higher leverage balances, higher base rates and lower accretion income and nonrecurring fee income recognized due to less repayment activities as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s investment in STRS JV generated an annualized, gross investment yield of approximately 14.0%.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, core net investment income(3) was $8.6 million, or $0.372 per share, compared with $7.8 million, or $0.372 per share for the same period in the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, WhiteHorse Finance reported a net realized and unrealized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions of $5.9 million. This compares with a net realized and unrealized gain on investments and foreign currency transactions of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to markdowns on the portfolio in the current quarter.

WhiteHorse Finance reported a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which compares with a net increase of $8.3 million the three months ended September 30, 2021.

WhiteHorse Finance’s net asset value was $343.0 million, or $14.76 per share, as of September 30, 2022, compared with $347.4 million, or $14.95 per share, as of June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022, WhiteHorse Finance had cash and cash equivalents of $19.3 million, compared with $18.6 million as of June 30, 2022, inclusive of restricted cash. As of September 30, 2022, the Company also had $88.9 million of undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facility.

Distributions

The Company's Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.355 per share with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2022. The distribution will be payable on January 4, 2023 to stockholders of record as of December 21, 2022. In addition, previously on October 14, 2022, the Company declared a special distribution of $0.05 per share, which will be payable on December 9, 2022 to stockholders of record as of October 31, 2022.

On August 10, 2022, the Company declared a distribution of $0.355 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, consistent with distributions declared for the fortieth consecutive quarter since the Company’s initial public offering. The distribution was paid on October 4, 2022 to stockholders of record as of September 20, 2022.

Distributions are paid from taxable earnings and may include return of capital and/or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the calendar year and in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.

(1) Includes investments in WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC (“STRS JV”), an unconsolidated joint venture, totaling $102.1 million, at fair value.

(2) Excludes investments made in STRS JV.

(3) “Core net investment income” is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core net investment income provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects the Company’s financial performance excluding (i) the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, (ii) the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and (iii) excise and other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). 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. Additional information on core net investment income and a reconciliation of core net investment income to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net investment income, are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

(4) Based on total capital commitments managed by H.I.G. Capital and affiliates.


SCHEDULE 1

As a supplement to GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided information relating to core 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 determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core net investment income represents net investment income adjusted to exclude the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and excise or other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). There were no excise or other income taxes related to net realized gains and losses nor did the Company incur any costs with refinancing any of its indebtedness for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income to core net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)Except as otherwise noted, all investments are non-controlled/non-affiliate investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and provide collateral for the Company’s credit facility.

(2)The investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), which resets monthly, quarterly or semiannually, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “SF”), the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR” or “C”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA” or “S”), or the U.S. Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”).

(3)The interest rate is the “all-in-rate” including the current index and spread, the fixed rate, and the payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rate, as the case may be.

(4)The investment or a portion of the investment does not provide collateral for the Company’s credit facility.

(5)Not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of total assets.

(11)The fair value of each investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs.

(13)Principal amount is non-USD denominated and is based in Canadian dollars.

(14)Investment is a controlled affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act. On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, a public pension fund established under Ohio law (“STRS Ohio”), to create WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund, LLC (“STRS JV”), a joint venture, which invests primarily in senior secured first and second lien term loans.

(15)In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 2.75% on its “last out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(16)In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 3.50% on its “last out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(18)On October 1, 2020, as part of a restructuring agreement between the Company and Arcole Acquisition Corp, the Company’s investments in first lien secured term loans to Arcole Acquisition Corp were converted into common shares of Arcole Holding Corp.

(19)At the option of the issuer, interest can be paid in cash or cash and PIK. The issuer may elect to pay up to 2.00% PIK.

(20)At the option of the issuer, interest can be paid in cash or cash and PIK. The issuer may elect to pay up to 9.00% PIK.

(21)On January 24, 2022, as part of a restructuring agreement between the Company and PlayMonster LLC, the Company’s first lien secured term loan and delayed draw loan investments to PlayMonster LLC were converted into a new first lien secured term loan, preferred stock and common stock of Playmonster Group LLC.
