BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022, Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.10 per Share
New York, November 3, 2022 – 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 January 6, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2022.
______________________________________
1Adjusted NII excludes the “hypothetical liquidation” basis capital gains incentive fee accrual (reversal) required under GAAP of zero and $(1.1) million for the third quarter and second quarter of 2022, respectively (refer to Supplemental Information for further details).
“We sustained our solid earnings momentum this quarter, demonstrating the strength of our increasingly diversified portfolio and our commitment to delivering solid risk-adjusted returns,” said James E. Keenan, Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company. “We are very pleased to announce that our NII exceeded our $0.10 dividend by 5% this quarter. Higher LIBOR and SOFR rates, an improved pricing environment on new originations, as well as strong fee income during the third quarter contributed to a 27% increase in adjusted quarterly NII. Our relatively modest leverage ratio of 0.71x allows us the flexibility to grow our portfolio and further increase its earnings power.
“Drawing upon the power of the BlackRock platform, we added 16 new portfolio companies during the quarter, substantially all of which were in senior secured debt. We have constructed a well-diversified portfolio with 111 portfolio companies as of the end of the quarter, representing significant progress from 47 portfolio companies at the end of 2019. We deployed $78 million in the third quarter on a gross basis – almost entirely in first lien loans. At the end of the quarter, 77% of our portfolio consisted of first lien investments, up from 74% at the end of 2021 and 34% at the end of 2019. Additionally, we reduced our non-core portfolio to less than 2% of our entire portfolio. This was driven by realization at par of our debt investment in MBS Opco, LLC ($12.2 million of proceeds including a $0.5 million distribution from our residual equity position in MBS Parent, LLC), previously our largest remaining non-core investment. We also fully exited our debt investments in Juul, Metricstream, Dude Solutions and Power Home. In each of these, we realized principal at par with an aggregate realized IRR of 11.6% across these names,” Mr. Keenan continued.
“Amidst the macroeconomic backdrop of high inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain constraints and softening consumer demand, we remain highly selective in underwriting new investments and vigilant in monitoring our existing portfolio. We believe that our portfolio is well positioned to withstand the impacts of an economic downcycle. During the third quarter, there were no new non-accrual investments.” Mr. Keenan concluded.

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, 2021, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
