RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Set forth below are the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 was $26.3 million and $51.0 million, respectively, and was attributable to $24.1 million and $46.5 million from first lien secured debt and $2.2 million and $4.5 million from other investments, respectively. This compares to investment income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, which was $23.0 million and $46.2 million, respectively, and was attributable to $21.0 million and $42.1 million from first lien secured debt and $2.0 million and $4.1 million from other investments, respectively. The increase in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio.

Expenses

Expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $14.6 million and $28.1 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $2.9 million and $5.8 million, incentive fee totaled $2.9 million and $5.3 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $7.6 million and $14.9 million and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. This compares to expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 which totaled $11.2 million and $23.5 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $2.4 million and $4.9 million, incentive fee totaled $2.5 million and $1.3 million (including $(1.4) million on realized and unrealized gains accrued but not payable), debt related interest and expenses totaled $5.3 million (including less than $0.1 million in Credit Facility amendment costs) and $15.1 million (including $4.5 million in Credit Facility amendment costs), and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The increase in expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income totaled $11.7 million and $22.9 million, or $0.30 and $0.59 per share, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Net investment income totaled $11.8 million and $22.7 million, or $0.30 and $0.59 per share, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

Sales and repayments of investments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $99.4 million and $243.1 million, respectively, and net realized losses totaled $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Sales and repayments of investments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $143.2 million and $333.5 million, respectively, and net realized gains totaled $1.1 million and $2.0 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 six months ended March 31, 2020, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $64.8 million and $68.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $12.7 million and $25.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, our net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $71.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation on our investments compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see the “Effects of COVID-19” section below.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized appreciation of $33.5 million and $34.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized appreciation of $5.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the net unrealized depreciation on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $39.6 million and $4.7 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 decrease in net assets resulting from operations totaled $21.1 million and $11.1 million, or $0.54 and $0.29 per share, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020. This compares to a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $5.5 million and $0.5 million, or $0.14 and $0.01 per share, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. The net change in net assets from operations compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to depreciation of the portfolio in the current period primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see the “Effects of COVID-19” section below.

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. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our ability to comply with the covenants of the Credit Facility, see the “Effects of COVID-19” section below.

The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 4.1% and 6.2%, respectively (excluding amendment and debt issuance costs, amounts were 4.1% and 5.1%, respectively). As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had $106.7 million and $254.7 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC, or Funding I, had $413.3 million and 265.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and 4.1%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had cash equivalents of $30.0 million and $63.3 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.

Our operating activities used cash of $158.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020, and our financing activities provided cash of $125.9 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from draws on our credit facility, partially offset by distributions paid to stockholders.

Our operating activities used cash of $35.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and our financing activities used cash of $3.5 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily for distributions paid to stockholders.

DISTRIBUTIONS

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.57 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $11.1 and $22.1 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 Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

EFFECTS OF COVID-19

The spread of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the U.S. economy and has resulted in governmental orders imposing travel restrictions and prolonged closures of many corporate offices, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, factories and other common places of public congregation around the world. These restrictions and “stay-at-home” orders have essentially resulted in the shutdown of all non-essential businesses, as defined by each governmental authority imposing the respective orders. Any future impact to our business and results of operations will depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to reduce the spread of the virus, all of which are beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, an adverse impact on our operating results and the operating results of our portfolio companies.

We had a significant reduction of our net asset value as of March 31, 2020 as compared to our net asset value in the prior quarter. This reduction resulted from an increase in the overall net unrealized depreciation of the Company’s portfolio, including unrealized depreciations in the Company's investments, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes as of March 31, 2020, which was primarily due to the immediate adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing uncertainty surrounding its long-term effects as well as the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market. As of March 31, 2020, we are in compliance with asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, we are not in default of any asset coverage requirements under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020. However, any continued increase in unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio or further significant reductions in our net asset value, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, increases the risk of breaching the relevant covenants. As such, we may run into liquidity issues in the future if we are unable to draw on the unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility due the breach of financial covenants.

We will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take further actions based on their recommendations. There may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plans accordingly. While we are closely monitoring this situation, we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows with any level of certainty. However, we expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a material adverse impact on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies. For information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and our operating results, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, including “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments” and “Part II - Other Information – Item 1A. Risk Factors” therein.
