____________________________________________
(1) |
|
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. |
(2) |
|
All per share amounts and weighted average shares outstanding are basic. The basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately 494 million and 440 million, respectively. |
(3) |
|
Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS is the net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations less net realized and unrealized gains and losses, any capital gains incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized gains and losses and any income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses, divided by the basic weighted average shares outstanding for the relevant period. Basic GAAP net income (loss) per share 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 Core EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. |
(4) |
|
In the first quarter of 2022, Ares Capital adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which requires the use of the if-converted method when calculating the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible notes on diluted earnings per share. As a result, Ares Capital’s diluted GAAP net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.22. The weighted average shares outstanding for purpose of calculating the diluted GAAP net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately 514 million, which includes approximately 20 million shares related to the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible notes. Under the allowed modified retrospective method, diluted GAAP net income per share for the prior period presented was not restated to reflect the impact of ASU 2020-06. As such, diluted GAAP net income per share amount for the prior period presented was the same as the basic GAAP net income per share amount. |
(5) |
|
Includes an additional dividend of $0.03 per share paid in the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2022. |
“We delivered another strong quarter with 10% sequential growth in our core earnings driven by increased investment activity, rising portfolio yields and continued stable credit quality,” said Kipp deVeer, Chief Executive Officer of Ares Capital. “With greater market volatility, the competitive environment has improved and we are seeing incrementally more attractive terms on new transaction opportunities. Based on our estimates of increasing earnings from higher interest rates coupled with the strength of our investment portfolio, we have increased our regular quarterly dividend to $0.43 per share.”
“Our balance sheet remains a notable source of strength with ample liquidity, moderate leverage and over 70% of our outstanding debt derived from long-dated, fixed rate unsecured notes,” said Penni Roll, Chief Financial Officer of Ares Capital. “The second quarter increases in market rates have yet to fully flow through our earnings. We estimate our second quarter earnings would have been approximately $0.05 per share higher if the market rate increases during the second quarter would have been in place for the full quarter. Additionally, we believe we are well positioned for our earnings to benefit from further increases in short term market interest rates.”

Weighted average yield on debt and other income producing securities is computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount or premium earned on accruing debt and other income producing securities (including the annualized amount of the dividend received by Ares Capital related to its equity investment in IHAM during the most recent quarter end), divided by (b) the total accruing debt and other income producing securities at amortized cost or at fair value (including the amortized cost or fair value of Ares Capital’s equity investment in IHAM as applicable), as applicable. |
(9) |
|
Weighted average yield on total investments is computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount or premium earned on accruing debt and other income producing securities (including the annualized amount of the dividend received by Ares Capital related to its equity investment in IHAM during the most recent quarter end), divided by (b) total investments at amortized cost or at fair value, as applicable. |
(10) |

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
From July 1, 2022 through July 20, 2022, Ares Capital made new investment commitments of approximately $245 million, of which $142 million were funded. Of these new commitments, 93% were in first lien senior secured loans and 7% were in other equity. Of the approximately $245 million of new investment commitments, 92% were floating rate, 7% were non-income producing and 1% was on non-accrual status. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at amortized cost was 8.9% and the weighted average yield on total investments funded during the period at amortized cost was 8.1%. Ares Capital may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
From July 1, 2022 through July 20, 2022, Ares Capital exited approximately $379 million of investment commitments, including $155 million of loans sold to IHAM or certain vehicles managed by IHAM. Of the total investment commitments exited, 55% were first lien senior secured loans, 40% were Ares Capital’s subordinated loan investment in IHAM and 5% were second lien senior secured loans. Of the approximately $379 million of exited investment commitments, all were floating rate. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 7.7% and the weighted average yield on total investments exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 7.7%. Of the approximately $379 million of investment commitments exited from July 1, 2022 through July 20, 2022, Ares Capital recognized total net realized losses of approximately $1 million, including approximately $1 million of net realized losses recognized from the sale of loans to IHAM or certain vehicles managed by IHAM.
In addition, as of July 20, 2022, Ares Capital had an investment backlog and pipeline of approximately $1.7 billion and $45 million, respectively. Investment backlog includes transactions approved by Ares Capital’s investment adviser’s investment committee and/or for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore Ares Capital believes 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 Ares Capital due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, Ares Capital’s acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. In addition, Ares Capital may sell all or a portion of these investments and certain of these investments may result in the repayment of existing investments. Ares Capital cannot assure you that it will make any of these investments or that Ares Capital will sell all or any portion of these investments.

__________________________________________________

Core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core EPS is the net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations less net realized and unrealized gains and losses, any capital gains incentive fees attributable to such net realized and unrealized gains and losses and any income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses, divided by the basic weighted average shares outstanding for the relevant period. Basic GAAP net income (loss) per share 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. |
(2) |
|
All per share amounts and weighted average shares outstanding are basic. The basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were approximately 494 million and 487 million, respectively, and approximately 440 million and 435 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2021. |
(3) |
|
In the first quarter of 2022, Ares Capital adopted ASU 2020-06, which requires the use of the if-converted method when calculating the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible notes on diluted earnings per share. As a result, Ares Capital’s diluted GAAP net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.22 and $0.65, respectively. The weighted average shares outstanding for purpose of calculating the diluted GAAP net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately 514 million and 507 million, respectively, which includes approximately 20 million shares for each period related to the assumed conversion of outstanding convertible notes. Under the allowed modified retrospective method, diluted GAAP net income per share for the prior periods presented were not restated to reflect the impact of ASU 2020-06. As such, diluted GAAP net income per share amount for the prior periods presented are the same as the basic GAAP net income per share amount. |
