RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Investment Income
Investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $28.1 million and $84.2 million, respectively, and was attributable to $16.7 million and $45.6 million from first lien secured debt, $9.2 million and $32.7 million from second lien secured debt and $2.2 million and $5.9 million from subordinated debt, respectively. This compares to investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 of $24.8 million and $80.7 million, respectively, and was attributable to $11.4 million and $36.7 million from first lien secured debt, $12.2 million and $36.4 million from second lien secured debt and $1.2 million and $7.6 million from subordinated debt, preferred and common equity. 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 nine months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $16.5 million and $49.2 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $4.7 million and $13.6 million, incentive fee totaled $2.5 million and $5.1 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $7.8 million and $26.0 million (including $2.2 million of make-whole premium on the repayment of our 4.50% notes due 2019, or the 2019 Notes, and $2.7 million in debt issuance costs on our revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas, or the BNP Credit Facility), general and administrative expenses totaled $1.2 million and $3.6 million and provision for taxes totaled $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. This compares to net expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, which totaled $13.0 million and $41.3 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $3.8 million and $12.5 million (after a base management fee waiver of $0.9 million), incentive fee totaled $2.5 million and $8.0 million (after an incentive fee waiver of $0.5 million), debt related interest and expenses totaled $5.6 million and $17.4 million and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The increase in expenses compared to the three-month period ended in the prior year was primarily due to higher leverage costs and provision for taxes. The increase in expenses compared to the nine-month period ended in the prior year was primarily due to higher leverage costs, provision for taxes, and expenses related the make-whole premium on the repayment of the 2019 Notes and the debt issuance costs on the BNP Credit Facility.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income totaled $11.6 million and $35.0 million, or $0.17 and $0.51 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Net investment income totaled $11.8 million and $39.4 million, or $0.17 and $0.55 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease in net investment income compared to the three-month period ended in the prior year was primarily due to higher leverage costs and provision for taxes which were partially offset by higher investment income. The decrease in net investment income compared to the nine-month period ended in the prior year was primarily due to higher leverage costs, provision for taxes, and expenses related the make-whole premium on the repayment of the 2019 Notes and the debt issuance costs on the BNP Credit Facility which were partially offset by higher investment income.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $84.7 million and $325.6 million, respectively, and net realized losses totaled $99.6 million and $90.1 million, respectively. Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $117.7 million and $556.4 million, respectively, and net realized gains totaled $17.4 million and $43.0 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 Facilities and the 2019 Notes
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $93.4 million and $52.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $13.9 million and $50.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, our net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $58.9 million and $111.8 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on our investments compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions, the financial performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments that were realized.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, our BNP Credit Facility and the multi-currency, senior secured revolving credit facility with SunTrust Bank, or the SunTrust Credit Facility (collectively, the Credit Facilities), and the 2019 Notes had a net change in unrealized depreciation of $0.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, the SunTrust Credit Facility and the 2019 Notes had a net change in unrealized depreciation of $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the net unrealized depreciation on the Credit Facilities totaled $11.5 million. As of September 30, 2018, the net unrealized depreciation on the SunTrust Credit Facility and the 2019 Notes totaled $1.6 million. The net change in net unrealized depreciation compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $5.6 million and $7.7 million, or $0.08 and $0.11 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019. Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $16.9 million and $35.2 million, or $0.24 and $0.50 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in 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.
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.
The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment under the SunTrust Credit Facility, debt issuance costs on the BNP Credit Facility, prepayment penalties on the 2019 Notes and amortized upfront fees on SBA debentures, was 5.4% and 4.6%, respectively (excluding debt issuance costs and prepayment penalties, amounts were 4.6% and 4.6%, respectively).
As of June 30, 2019, PennantPark Investment Funding I, LLC, or Funding I, had $178.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the BNP Credit Facility. The BNP Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 5.0% as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, Funding I had $72.0 million of unused borrowing capacity under the BNP Credit Facility, subject to the regulatory restrictions.
As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had $382.6 million (including a $12.0 million temporary draw) and $80.5 million (including a $2.0 million temporary draw), respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust Credit Facility. The SunTrust Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 4.7% and 3.8%, respectively, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments of 0.4%, as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018. As of the same periods, we had $114.5 million and $364.5 million of unused borrowing capacity under the SunTrust Credit Facility, respectively, subject to the regulatory restrictions.
As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had zero and $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes outstanding, respectively, with a fixed interest rate of 4.50% per year. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had $150.0 million and $180.0 million in SBA debentures outstanding, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million and $19.5 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 $146.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, and our financing activities provided cash of $148.9 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from net borrowings under the Credit Facilities.
Our operating activities provided cash of $173.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and our financing activities used cash of $104.7 million for the same period. Our operating activities provided cash from sales and repayments on our investments and our financing activities used cash primarily to pay distributions to stockholders and for net repayments under the SunTrust Credit Facility.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On May 9, 2018, we announced a share repurchase program which allowed us to repurchase up to $30 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below our net asset value as reported in our then most recently published consolidated financial statements. The program expired on May 9, 2019. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased zero and 2.0 million shares of common stock, respectively, in open market transactions for an aggregate cost (including transaction costs) of zero and $14.5 million, respectively. We repurchased 4.0 million shares of common stock in open market transactions while the program was in effect for an aggregate cost (including transaction costs) of $29.5 million.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we declared distributions of $0.18 and $0.54 per share, for total distributions of $12.1 million and $36.4 million, respectively. For the same periods in the prior year, we declared distributions of $0.18 and $0.54 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $12.6 million and $38.2 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.
