GAAP Net Investment Income ("NII") was $8.9 million, or $0.12 per share in the first quarter, representing a 9.5% increase from prior quarter NII of $8.1 million, or $0.11 per share. First quarter NII provided dividend coverage of 122% on a GAAP basis, up from the prior quarter dividend coverage of 112%.
Net Asset Value ("NAV") increased to $319.8 million as of March 31, 2023, up from $318.5 million as of December 31, 2022; NAV per share increased to $4.41 per share from $4.39 per share as of December 31, 2022.
Gross deployments during the first quarter were $37.6 million, substantially all of which were in first lien loans. The weighted average yield on gross deployments during the quarter was 11.9%, up from 11.5% on deployments in the prior quarter. During the quarter, 8 new portfolio companies were added bringing total portfolio companies held at quarter-end to 121, up from 116 at the end of 2022 and 86 at the end of 2021. Gross repayments during the quarter were $20.7 million, including full exits from 3 existing portfolio companies, including two legacy investments which further reduced exposure to non-core legacy assets to less than 1% of total portfolio fair market value.
The Company's weighted-average portfolio yield as of March 31, 2023 increased to 12.4% based on total portfolio fair value, up from 11.9% as of December 31, 2022. The increase was largely driven by a rise in LIBOR and SOFR rates during the quarter.
Net leverage was 0.81x as of March 31, 2023, up from 0.77x as of December 31, 2022, driven by new net deployments. Total available liquidity for deployment into portfolio company investments, including cash, was $98.2 million, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:BKCC) ("BCIC" or the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on July 6, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2023.

"We continued to successfully execute on our strategy of (i) increasing the earnings power of our portfolio via disciplined growth and (ii) increasing the resiliency of our portfolio by creating a diversified portfolio of senior secured assets. Our NII continued to grow this quarter, increasing 9.5% from the prior quarter. We are very pleased that our NII covered our $0.10 dividend for the third consecutive quarter, with increased coverage of 122% this quarter, up from 112% in the fourth quarter," said James E. Keenan, Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company. "We ended the quarter with a well-diversified portfolio of 121 companies, more than double the number of portfolio companies we had at the end of 2020. At the end of the quarter, 82% of our portfolio consisted of first lien investments, up from 74% at the end of 2021 and 50% at the end of 2020. We have now exceeded our target of having at least 80% of the portfolio in first lien investments."

"Even as we grew our loan portfolio, we were highly selective during the first quarter in which we saw reduced origination activity across the market. Corporate mergers and acquisitions, demand for growth financings as well as refinancing activity remained muted in the rising interest rate environment. Still, we added 8 new portfolio companies during the quarter, drawing upon the power of the BlackRock platform. We deployed $38 million in the first quarter on a gross basis – almost entirely in first lien loans. This is our fourth consecutive quarter with net positive deployments, totaling approximately $91 million over the last 12 months. Our relatively modest leverage ratio of 0.81x provides flexibility to continue to selectively grow our portfolio and further increase our earnings power," Mr. Keenan continued.

"Against the macroeconomic backdrop of continued inflation, higher interest rates, and softening consumer demand, we remain conservative in underwriting new investments and vigilant in monitoring our existing portfolio. We believe we are well positioned to withstand the impact of a deteriorating economic environment. Additionally, during the quarter, we exited and realized our non-core legacy investments in Advanced Lighting (previously a non-accrual asset) and Kemmerer, reducing our non-core exposure to less than 1% of the portfolio. Our credit quality remains solid as there were no new non-accrual investments in the first quarter, demonstrating our unwavering focus on our strong credit culture." Mr. Keenan concluded.

Business Updates

Reduced Exposure in Non-Core Legacy Portfolio: During the first quarter, the Company received $2.4 million in proceeds from the full sale of its first lien debt and equity positions in Kemmerer Operations, LLC and Kemmerer Holdings, LLC (collectively, "Kemmerer"), and $0.8 million in proceeds from the full sale of its non-accrual second lien secured note position in Advanced Lighting Technologies, LLC ("Advanced Lighting"), further reducing the Company's non-core legacy exposure.
Other Junior Capital Exposure: As of March 31, 2023, the Company's other junior capital (including unsecured/subordinated debt and equity) exposure, excluding non-core assets, remained low at 4% of the portfolio, down from 6% at December 31, 2021 and 21% at December 31, 2020.
Revolving Credit Facility Amendment: Due to the transition away from LIBOR indices and the discontinuation of publication of the U.S. Dollar LIBOR benchmarks effective June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") on April 26, 2023 to remove and replace the LIBOR-based interest rate benchmark provisions with customary SOFR-based interest rate benchmark provisions plus a negotiated credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. Other material terms of the Credit Facility were otherwise unchanged.

First Quarter Financial Updates

NII was $8.9 million, or approximately $0.12 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 9.5% from the prior quarter, largely driven by an increase in our weighted average yield as a result of higher LIBOR and SOFR rates, and net deployments during 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. Relative to our dividend declared of $0.10 per share, dividend coverage was 122% on a GAAP basis, up from 112% in the prior quarter.
NAV increased to $319.8 million at March 31, 2023, up from $318.5 million at December 31, 2022; NAV per share increased to $4.41 per share from $4.39 per share as of December 31, 2022.

Further, as of March 31, 2023, approximately 83.9% of our assets were invested in qualifying assets, exceeding the 70% requirement for a business development company under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
For the first quarter of 2023, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on July 6, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2023.

_______________________________________________ Net investment income and per share amounts displayed above are net of the accrual (reversal) for incentive fees on capital gains which is reflected on a hypothetical liquidation basis in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Supplemental Information section below for further details and as adjusted figures that reflect that there were no incentive fees on capital gains realized and payable to the Advisor during such periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the impact of the hypothetical conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes was antidilutive.

Supplemental Information

The Company reports its financial results on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis; however, management believes that evaluating the Company's ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of the Company's financial performance over time. The Company's management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company records its liability for incentive fees based on capital gains (if any) by performing a hypothetical liquidation basis calculation at the end of each reporting period, as required by GAAP, which assumes that all unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation is realized as of the reporting date. It should be noted that incentive fees based on capital gains (if any) are not due and payable until the end of the annual measurement period, or every June 30. The incremental incentive fees disclosed for a given period are not necessarily indicative of actual full year results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, geopolitical conditions and other parameters could cause actual results to differ from estimates and such differences could be material. There can be no assurance that unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation will be realized in the future, or that any accrued capital gains incentive fee will become payable. Incentive fee amounts on capital gains actually paid by the Company will specifically exclude consideration of unrealized capital appreciation, consistent with requirements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Company's investment management agreement. For a more detailed description of the Company's incentive fees, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Computations for the periods below are derived from the Company's financial statements as follows:

As Adjusted: Amounts are adjusted to remove the GAAP accrual (reversal) for incentive fee based on capital gains (if any) and to include only the incremental incentive fee based on income. Adjusted amounts reflect the fact that no incentive fee on capital gains was realized and payable to the Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Under the current investment management agreement, incentive fee based on income is calculated for each calendar quarter and may be paid on a quarterly basis if certain thresholds are met.
