Reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in this press release under "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures".(2)   Recurring Free Cash Flow is an internally defined, non-IFRS measure calculated as Recurring Loan Interest Income, less Salaries, Professional fees, Office and general administrative and Financing expenses.

“We are very pleased with our results this quarter. We achieved several milestones in the quarter including: record recurring revenue at $1.9M; record book value per share at $1.255/share; record total assets at $65.8M; and record trailing 12-month new deployments at over $29 million,” said Alex Baluta, CEO of Flow Capital. “In addition, our portfolio continues to perform well,” continued Mr. Baluta.

“As we continue to accelerate the deployment of capital into new loans, we continue to maintain a strong long-term IRR based on both the recurring cash contributions from our loans as well as the contributions of our equity positions. Specifically, as we disclosed in a press release on June 12, the 6-year portfolio level IRR generated from our senior secured loan portfolio of growth venture debt loans, stood at over 26%,” said Mr. Baluta

Flow’s lead generation and business development program continues to surface excellent investment opportunities. In Q2 we closed $5.4 into GetTattle Inc. a global Customer Experience Improvement SaaS platform. We also announced a follow-on investment into MiniLuxe, an existing portfolio company. After quarter end we also closed $6.8 million with a tech-enabled marketplace of co-living spaces and $5.4 million with a media measurement provider. We continue to see good pipeline activity and expect that portfolio growth should only be tempered by our access to capital.

In order to continue to grow our capital base, we continue to offer our redeemable floating rate debentures to institutional and accredited investors. The debenture sits senior to almost $40 million of subordinated equity and pays a floating rate of interest, currently set at 10.0% - 10.5% for Canadian dollar investors and as high as 11.83% for U.S. dollar investors holding over US$1 million.

In addition to supporting our growth the debenture also serves our investors and shareholders well by allowing us to bifurcate investor returns between capital gains-oriented investors in our common shares and income oriented investors in our debentures.

Said Mr. Baluta, “Looking forward, we continue to be laser focused on growing shareholder value and while providing a strong return to our fixed income stakeholders, all while being a flexible and supportive partner to our investee companies.”

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as recurring Loan Interest income and recurring free cash flow. These financial measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as providing key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. These financial measures are not defined under IFRS nor do they replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measure can be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.
