(1) All per share amounts are basic and diluted.
(2) Basic and diluted Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS
is the net per share increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity
resulting from operations less realized and unrealized gains and losses,
any incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized
gains and losses and any income taxes related to such realized gains.
Basic and diluted GAAP EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure. Ares Capital believes that Core EPS provides useful
information to investors regarding financial performance because it is
one method Ares Capital uses to measure its financial condition and
results of operations. 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. Reconciliations of
basic and diluted Core EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

OPERATING RESULTS
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Ares Capital reported GAAP net
income of $136.6 million or $0.59 per share (basic and diluted), Core
EPS(2) of $0.42 per share (basic and diluted), net investment income of
$89.5 million, or $0.39 per share (basic and diluted), and net realized
and unrealized gains of $47.1 million or $0.20 per share (basic and
diluted).
Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various
factors, including the level of new investment commitments, the
recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and
depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not
be meaningful.
As of September 30, 2012, total assets were $6.3 billion, stockholders’
equity was $3.9 billion and net asset value per share was $15.74.
In the third quarter of 2012, Ares Capital made $1,022.3 million in new
commitments, including commitments to 17 new portfolio companies as well
as five additional portfolio companies through the Senior Secured Loan
Fund LLC (the “Senior Secured Loan Program”) through which Ares Capital
co-invests with GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC and General Electric
Capital Corporation (together, “GE”) to fund first lien senior secured
loans. Of these new commitments, 21 were sponsored transactions. As of
September 30, 2012, 90 separate private equity sponsors were represented
in Ares Capital’s portfolio. Of the $1,022.3 million in new commitments
made during the third quarter of 2012, approximately 76% were in first
lien senior secured debt, 9% were in subordinated certificates of the
Senior Secured Loan Program (the proceeds of which were applied to
co-investments with GE to fund first lien senior secured loans through
the Senior Secured Loan Program), 7% were in second lien senior secured
debt, 6% were in subordinated debt, and 2% were in other equity
securities. Of these commitments, 90% were in floating rate debt
securities of which all contained interest rate floors and 10% were in
the subordinated certificates of the Senior Secured Loan Program, the
proceeds of which were applied to co-investments with GE to fund
floating rate first lien senior secured loans through the Senior Secured
Loan Program, all of which carried interest rate floors. We may seek to
syndicate a portion of these new investment commitments to third
parties, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do
so.
During the third quarter of 2012, significant new commitments included:
-
$250 million in a first lien senior term loan and equity of a
collision repair site operator;
-
$105 million in a first lien senior term loan and a senior
subordinated loan of a developer and marketer of information and
software solutions to the automobile claims industry;
-
$105 million in first lien senior revolving and term loans of a scuba
diver training and certification provider;
-
$89 million in first lien senior revolving and term loans and equity
of a massage and spa services franchisor;
-
$72 million in first lien senior revolving, delayed draw and term
loans and equity of a restoration parts and accessories provider for
classic automobiles;
-
$59 million in a first lien senior term loan of a developer and
operator of a gas turbine power plant;
-
$47 million in a first lien senior term loan of a recovery audit
services provider to commercial and governmental healthcare payors;
-
$40 million in first lien and second lien senior term loans of a
flashlight manufacturer;
-
$37 million in second lien delayed draw and term loans of a software
solutions provider to the ready-mix concrete industry; and
-
$35 million in a first lien senior revolving and term loans of a
restaurant owner and operator.
The fair value of Ares Capital’s portfolio investments at September 30,
2012 was $5.9 billion, including $5.3 billion in debt and other income
producing securities. These portfolio investments at fair value were
comprised of approximately 58% of senior secured debt securities (42% in
first lien loans and 16% in second lien loans), 21% of subordinated
certificates of the Senior Secured Loan Program (the proceeds of which
were applied to co-investments with GE in first lien senior secured
loans through the Senior Secured Loan Program), 7% of senior
subordinated debt securities, 4% of preferred equity securities, 9% of
other equity securities and 1% of collateralized loan obligations. As of
September 30, 2012, the weighted average yield of debt and other income
producing securities in the portfolio at fair value was 11.4%(3) (11.6%
at amortized cost(4)) and 74% of the investments at fair value were in
floating rate securities.
President Michael Arougheti commented, “We are pleased to report another
solid quarter with our third quarter core earnings per share of $0.42
fully covering our regular quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share. We
believe we were successful in utilizing our competitive advantages to
originate a number of attractive investments at higher yields than those
that exited our portfolio during the third quarter. We also ended the
third quarter in a strengthened financial position after successfully
completing several capital raising transactions, resulting in an
increase to our available debt capacity of approximately $1.3 billion.”
Mr. Arougheti continued, “Due to our performance and our level of
undistributed taxable income, we declared a $0.38 per share quarterly
dividend and another additional dividend of $0.05 per share, both of
which will be payable during the fourth quarter.”
PORTFOLIO QUALITY
Ares Capital Management LLC, our investment adviser, employs an
investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to
various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser
grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less
frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect
the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial
cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of
acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain
circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the
collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under
this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of
risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this
investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable,
which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a
potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to our
initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis
at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is
generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to
ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable.
All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are
initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the
risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment
has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as
a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance
with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120
days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our
ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has
substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the
portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt
investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt
covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially
delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is anticipated that we will not
recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our
initial cost basis upon exit. For investments graded 1 or 2, our
investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of
such portfolio company. Our investment adviser grades the investments in
our portfolio at least each quarter and it is possible that the grade of
certain of these portfolio investments may be reduced or increased over
time.
As of September 30, 2012, the weighted average grade of the investments
in our portfolio at fair value was 3.0. Also, as of September 30, 2012,
loans on non-accrual status represented 2.6% of total investments at
amortized cost (or 1.0% at fair value).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2012, Ares Capital had $105 million in cash and cash
equivalents and $2.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of
outstanding debt ($2.2 billion in carrying value). Subject to leverage
and borrowing base restrictions, Ares Capital had approximately $1.3
billion available for additional borrowings under its existing credit
facilities as of September 30, 2012.
In July 2012, Ares Capital, through its consolidated subsidiary, Ares
Capital CP Funding LLC, received an increase in the commitments under
the revolving funding facility of $40 million, bringing the total
commitments to $620 million.
In August 2012, Ares Capital completed a public equity offering (the
“August 2012 Offering”) through which it sold 25.9 million shares of
common stock at a price of $16.55 per share. Total proceeds from the
August 2012 Offering, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs
payable by Ares Capital, were approximately $427.4 million. Ares Capital
used the net proceeds of the August 2012 Offering to repay outstanding
indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
In September 2012, Ares Capital, through its consolidated subsidiary,
Ares Capital JB Funding, LLC, amended its revolving funding facility
with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (the “SMBC Funding Facility”)
to, among other things, (i) increase the size of the SMBC Funding
Facility from $200 million to $400 million, (ii) extend the reinvestment
period from January 20, 2015 to September 14, 2015 and (iii) extend the
stated maturity date from January 20, 2020 to September 14, 2020. The
reinvestment period and the stated maturity date are both subject to two
one-year extensions by mutual agreement.
In September 2012, Ares Capital issued $175 million in aggregate
principal amount of senior unsecured notes which bear interest at a rate
of 5.875% and mature on October 1, 2022 (the “October 2022 Notes”). The
October 2022 Notes require payment of interest quarterly, and all
principal is due upon maturity. These notes are redeemable in whole or
in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after
October 1, 2015, at a par redemption price of $25 per security plus
accrued interest and unpaid interest. Total proceeds from this issuance
of the October 2022 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering
costs, were approximately $168.8 million. Ares Capital used the net
proceeds of this issuance of the October 2022 Notes to repay outstanding
indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. See “Recent
Developments” for information about the issuance of additional
October 2022 Notes pursuant to the partial exercise of an over-allotment
option by the underwriters of such offering.
THIRD QUARTER 2012 DIVIDEND
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Ares Capital declared on
August 7, 2012 a regular dividend of $0.38 per share and an additional
dividend of $0.05 per share for a total of approximately $107 million.
The record date for these dividends was September 14, 2012 and the
dividends were paid on September 28, 2012.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In October 2012, we issued an additional $7.5 million in aggregate
principal amount of the October 2022 Notes pursuant to the partial
exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters of such
offering.
In October 2012, we issued $230 million aggregate principal amount of
unsecured convertible senior notes that mature on January 15, 2018 (the
“2018 Convertible Notes”), unless previously converted or repurchased in
accordance with their terms. We do not have the right to redeem the 2018
Convertible Notes prior to maturity. The 2018 Convertible Notes bear
interest at a rate of 4.75% per year, payable semi-annually commencing
on July 15, 2013. In certain circumstances, the 2018 Convertible Notes
will be convertible into cash, shares of Ares Capital’s common stock or
a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election,
at an initial conversion rate of 50.3290 shares of common stock per one
thousand dollar principal amount of the 2018 Convertible Notes, which
was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.87
per share of our common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments. The initial conversion price was approximately 17.5% above
the $16.91 per share closing price of our common stock on October 3,
2012.
We used the net proceeds of the additional issuance of the October 2022
Notes and the issuance of the 2018 Convertible Notes to repay
outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
Effective as of November 2, 2012, we amended our charter to increase the
number of shares of common stock we are authorized to issue from 400
million to 500 million.
From October 1, 2012 through November 1, 2012, we had made new
investment commitments of $163 million, of which $141 million were
funded. Of these new commitments, 45% were in first lien senior secured
debt, 36% were in other equity securities, 13% were investments in
subordinated certificates of the SSLP which were applied to
co-investments with GE through the SSLP in first lien senior secured
loans and 6% were in preferred equity securities. Of the $163 million of
new investment commitments, 42% were non-interest bearing, 35% were
floating rate, and 23% were fixed rate. The weighted average yield of
debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at
amortized cost was 10.3%. We may seek to syndicate a portion of these
new investment commitments to third parties, although there can be no
assurance that we will be able to do so.
From October 1, 2012 through November 1, 2012, we exited $137 million of
investment commitments. Of these investment commitments, 35% were first
lien senior secured debt, 32% were senior subordinated debt, 29% were
other equity securities and 4% were second lien senior secured debt. Of
the $137 million of exited investment commitments, 37% were floating
rate investments, 32% were fixed rate investments, 29% were non-interest
bearing and 2% were on non-accrual status. The weighted average yield of
debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the
period at amortized cost was 9.1%. On the $137 million of investment
commitments exited from October 1, 2012 through November 1, 2012, we
recognized total net realized losses of approximately $7 million.
In October 2012, we contributed to Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P.
(“IHAM”), a wholly owned portfolio company of the Company, our entire
investment in FirstLight Financial Corporation (“FirstLight Corp.”) at a
price equal to the fair value at the time of the contribution of $58.1
million ($51.8 million for our senior subordinated loan position and
$6.3 million for our equity position). As a result of the contribution,
we fully exited our investment in FirstLight Corp., which reduced our
investment commitments by $84.2 million, and recognized a net loss of
$26.1 million. Prior to such contribution, IHAM served as a sub-adviser
to FirstLight Funding I, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of FirstLight
Corp. (“FirstLight Funding”). Following such contribution, FirstLight
Funding distributed to FirstLight Corp. substantially all of its assets
(in the form of cash and investments). In turn, FirstLight Corp. repaid
in full the total outstanding amount of its senior subordinated loans
(including the portion held by IHAM following the contribution
transaction) and made a distribution to its stockholders (including IHAM
following the contribution transaction). In connection with the
foregoing, IHAM ceased to be a sub-adviser to FirstLight Funding and
IHAM became the collateral manager to FirstLight Corp. and the other
entity invested in FirstLight Corp.
In addition, as of November 1, 2012, we had an investment backlog and
pipeline of approximately $515 million and $535 million, respectively.
Investment backlog includes transactions approved by our investment
adviser’s investment committee and/or for which a formal mandate, letter
of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore we
believe are likely to close. Investment pipeline includes transactions
where due diligence and analysis are in process, but no formal mandate,
letter of intent or signed commitment have been issued. The consummation
of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon,
among other things, one or more of the following: satisfactory
completion of our due diligence investigation of the prospective
portfolio company, our acceptance of the terms and structure of such
investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction
documentation. In addition, we may syndicate a portion of these
investments to third parties. We cannot assure you that we will make any
of these investments or that we will syndicate any portion of these
investments.

(1) Basic and diluted Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS
is the net per share increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity
resulting from operations less realized and unrealized gains and losses,
any incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized
gains and losses and any income taxes related to such realized gains.
Basic and diluted GAAP EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure. Ares Capital believes that Core EPS provides useful
information to investors regarding financial performance because it is
one method Ares Capital uses to measure its financial condition and
results of operations. 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.
