Announces Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Release
and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON, July 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation
(NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce its preliminary operating results for the second quarter
of 2023 and its second quarter 2023 earnings release and conference
call schedule.
In commenting on the Company's operating results for the second
quarter of 2023, Dwayne L. Hyzak,
Main Street's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased
with our performance in the second quarter, which resulted in new
quarterly records for net investment income per share,
distributable net investment income per share and net asset value
per share for the fourth consecutive quarter and a return on equity
of over 18%. These results demonstrate the continued and
sustainable strength of our overall platform, the benefits of our
differentiated and diversified investment strategies, the unique
contributions of our asset management business and the underlying
strength and quality of our portfolio companies."
Mr. Hyzak continued, "Our distributable net investment income in
the second quarter exceeded the monthly dividends paid to our
shareholders by over 60% and the total dividends paid to our
shareholders by over 20%, allowing us to deliver significant value
to our shareholders while still conservatively retaining a
meaningful portion of our income. Based upon the continued strength
of our performance in the second quarter, we expect another
meaningful supplemental dividend to be paid in the third quarter of
2023, which would represent our eighth consecutive quarterly
supplemental dividend, to go with the five increases to our regular
monthly dividends in the same time period."
Preliminary Estimates of Second Quarter 2023 Results
Main Street's preliminary estimates of second quarter 2023 net
investment income ("NII") is $1.05 to
$1.07 per share and distributable net
investment income ("DNII") is $1.11
to $1.13 per share.(1)
Main Street's preliminary estimate of net asset value ("NAV")
per share as of June 30, 2023 is $27.66 to $27.72,
representing an increase of $0.43 to
$0.49 per share, or 1.6% to 1.8%,
from the NAV per share of $27.23 as
of March 31, 2023, with this increase
after the impact of the supplemental dividend paid in June 2023 of $0.225
per share. The estimated increase in NAV per share is primarily due
to the net fair value increase on the investment portfolio
resulting from the net unrealized appreciation on our portfolio
investments and the net impact of realizations of our portfolio
investments, the record estimated NII, which exceeded the regular
monthly dividends of $0.675 per share
and supplemental dividend of $0.225
per share paid in the second quarter, and the accretive impact from
equity issuances during the quarter, partially offset by the tax
provision for the quarter.
As a result of Main Street's preliminary estimates of net
investment income and net changes in the fair market value of its
investment portfolio as noted above, Main Street estimates that it
generated a quarterly annualized return on equity for the second
quarter of 2023 of 18% to 20%.(2)
Investment Portfolio Activity
The Company's second quarter 2023 operating activities include
the following investment activity in our LMM, private loan and
middle market investment strategies:
- $130.7 million in total LMM
portfolio investments, which after aggregate repayments of debt
principal and return of invested equity capital from several LMM
portfolio investments and a decrease in cost basis due to the
realized loss on a LMM portfolio investment resulted in a net
decrease of $6.9 million in the cost
basis of our LMM investment portfolio;
- $168.1 million in total private
loan investments, which after aggregate repayments and return of
invested equity capital from several private loan portfolio
investments and a decrease in cost basis due to the realized loss
on a private loan portfolio investment resulted in a net decrease
of $11.3 million in the cost basis of
our private loan investment portfolio; and
- a net decrease of $39.4 million
in the cost basis of our middle market investment portfolio, which
resulted from the net investment activity and a decrease in cost
basis due to the realized losses on several middle market portfolio
investments.

Distributable net
investment income is net investment income as determined in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or
U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses,
which includes both share-based compensation expenses and deferred
compensation expense or benefit. Main Street believes presenting
distributable net investment income per share is useful and
appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial
performance, since share-based compensation does not require
settlement in cash and deferred compensation expense or benefit
does not result in a net cash impact to Main Street upon
settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a
non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement
for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment
income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP
measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. In order
to reconcile estimated distributable net investment income per
share to estimated net investment income per share in accordance
with U.S. GAAP for the second quarter of 2023, $0.05 to $0.06 per
share of estimated non-cash compensation expenses are added back to
calculate estimated distributable net investment income per
share.
