RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Set forth below are the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $25.7 million and $76.7 million, respectively, which was attributable to $21.1 million and $64.0 million from first lien secured debt and $4.6 million and $12.7 million from other investments, respectively. This compares to investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 of $20.9 million and $61.1 million, respectively, which was attributable to $18.2 million and $53.5 million from first lien secured debt and $2.7 million and $7.6 million from other investments, respectively. The increase in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in the size of our portfolio.

Expenses

Expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $13.9 million and $40.8 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $3.1 million and $8.9 million, performance-based incentive fee totaled $2.6 million and $8.5 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $7.4 million and $20.7 million and general and administrative expenses totaled $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively. This compares to expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 that totaled $10.6 million and $30.8 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $2.6 million and $8.0 million, performance-based incentive fee totaled $1.7 million and $4.7 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $5.9 million and $16.0 million and general and administrative expenses totaled $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The increase in expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in performance-based incentive fees and debt-related interest and expenses.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income totaled $11.8 million and $35.9 million, or $0.29 and $0.90 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Net investment income totaled $10.3 million and $30.3 million, or $0.27 and $0.78 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in net investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in the size of our portfolio.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $55.0 million and $397.2 million, respectively, and net realized gains (losses) totaled $0.7 million and $(11.6) million, respectively. Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $283.3 million and $565.5 million, respectively, and net realized losses totaled $13.0 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The change in realized gains/losses was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.

Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $17.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $14.2 million and $48.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, our net unrealized appreciation on investments totaled $7.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation on our investments compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were held.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized depreciation of less than $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized depreciation (appreciation) of $3.2 million and $(11.3) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, the net unrealized depreciation on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $8.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The net change in net unrealized depreciation compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.

Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $(5.1) million and $16.6 million, or $(0.12) and $0.42 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations totaled $14.7 million and $52.5 million, or $0.38 and $1.35 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the net change in net assets from operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a lower realized and unrealized change in our investment and debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.

The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 3.7% and 3.4%, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we had $40.7 million and $80.6 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, as applicable, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

As of June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC, borrowed $259.3 million and $219.4 million under the Credit Facility, respectively. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 3.3% and 2.3%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, we had cash equivalents of $40.6 million and $49.8 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to allow us to efficiently operate the business.

Our operating activities used cash of $111.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, and our financing activities provided cash of $101.7 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily due to the issuance of $85 million of our 2026 Add-on Notes borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Our operating activities provided cash of $124.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, and our financing activities used cash of $132.3 million for the same period. Our operating activities provided cash primarily from our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily to pay down our Credit Facility, partially offset by the 2026 Notes issuance.

DISTRIBUTIONS

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.855 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $11.8 and $34.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.855 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $11.1 and $33.2 million, respectively. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, stockholders will be notified of the portion of those distributions deemed to be a tax return of capital. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting on Form 1099-DIV after the end of each calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
