The weighted average yield of investments is not the same as a
return on investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to
portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the
payment of all of our fees and expenses.
(1)
The weighted average yield on our performing debt and
structured finance note investments is computed as (a) the sum of
the annual stated accruing interest on our debt investments plus
the annualized accretion of loan origination fees, original issue
discount, market discount or premium, and loan amendment fees at
the balance sheet date, plus the annual effective yield on our
structured finance notes at the balance sheet date divided by (b)
the sum of the amortized cost of our debt and structured finance
note investments, in each case, excluding assets on non-accrual
basis as of the balance sheet date.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we closed a $5.2 million
directly-originated senior secured debt investment in a new
portfolio company. In addition, we made $23.5 million of additional
senior secured debt investments in existing portfolio companies and
$19.9 million in four new structured finance notes.
The total fair value of our investment portfolio was $442.3
million at December 31, 2020, which was equal to approximately 96%
of amortized cost. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of our
debt investment portfolio totaled $321.4 million in 49 portfolio
companies, of which 95% and 5% were senior secured loans and
subordinated loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we also
held approximately $64.5 million in common and preferred equity
investments, at fair value, in 10 portfolio companies in which we
also held debt investments and 13 portfolio companies in which we
solely held an equity investment. As of December 31, 2020, our
investment portfolio also included twelve investments in structured
finance notes with a fair value of $56.4 million. We had unfunded
commitments of $5.8 million to four portfolio companies at December
31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, floating rate loans comprised
96% of our debt investment portfolio, with the remaining 4% in
fixed rate loans, as a percentage of fair value.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income
Interest Income
During the year ended December 31, 2020, interest income
decreased approximately $6.8 million, due to a $1.8 million
decrease in interest income caused by a $16 million decrease in the
average outstanding loan balance and a decrease of $5.0 million in
recurring interest income resulting from a 128 basis point decrease
in the weighted average yield in our debt portfolio. For the year
ended December 31, 2020, acceleration of Net Loan Fees (defined as
loan origination fees, original issue discount, market discount or
premium and loan amendment fees) of $0.2 million were included in
interest income from the repayment of loans prior to their
scheduled due dates.
Fee Income
During the year ended December 31, 2020, fee income consisted of
prepayment fees of $0.6 million resulting from $38.4 million of
unscheduled principal payments, compared to $0.4 million from $56.8
million of unscheduled principal payments during the year ended
December 31, 2019. We recognized syndication fees of $0.7 million
and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, resulting from approximately $46.8 million and $91.5
million in loan originations during that period in which OFS
Capital Management, LLC sourced, structured, and arranged the
lending group, and for which we were additionally compensated.
Expenses
Interest expense
During the year ended December 31, 2020, interest expense
increased by $3.0 million primarily due to an increase of $39.4
million in the average amount of outstanding borrowings, which
included a full year's interest on the $54.3 million of unsecured
notes issued in October 2019 and the issuance of the $25.0 million
of unsecured notes in September 2020.
Management Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2020, management fee expense
decreased by $0.7 million due to a decrease in our average total
assets, primarily due to the sale of debt investments in response
to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Incentive Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2020, incentive fee expense
decreased by $3.2 million, or $3.6 million prior to the Income
Incentive Fee waiver of $0.4 million compared to the prior year due
to a decrease in net investment income.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net
losses of $15.9 million on senior secured debt, primarily as a
result of unrealized losses of $9.2 million and $2.8 million on our
senior secured debt investments in 3rd Rock Gaming Holding, LLC,
and Envocore Holdings, LLC, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net
losses of $16.4 million on subordinated debt, primarily as a result
of unrealized losses of $12.1 million and $4.7 million on our
subordinated debt investments in Online Tech Stores, LLC and Eblens
Holdings, Inc., respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net
losses of $2.7 million on preferred equity investments, primarily
as a result of unrealized losses of $3.2 million and $2.0 million
in Contract Datascan Holdings, Inc. and My Alarm Center, LLC,
respectively, offset by an unrealized gain of $1.7 million in TTG
Healthcare, LLC.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net gains
of $26.2 million on common equity and warrant investments,
primarily as a result of unrealized gains of $24.2 million and $4.3
million on our common equity investment in Pfanstiehl Holdings,
Inc. and our equity appreciation rights in Southern Technical
Institute, LLC, respectively, offset by net unrealized losses of
$1.2 million in our investment in Professional Pipe Holdings,
LLC.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized net gains
of $2.1 million on structured finance notes, primarily as a result
of the positive impact of mark-to-market adjustments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2020, we had $37.7 million of cash, which
includes cash and cash equivalents of $32.2 million held by OFS
SBIC I, LP ("SBIC I LP"), our wholly owned SBIC. Our use of cash
held by SBIC I LP is restricted by SBA regulation, including
limitations on the amount of cash SBIC I LP can distribute to OFS
Capital Corporation as parent company (the "Parent"). Any such
distributions to the Parent from SBIC I LP are generally restricted
under SBA regulations to a statutory measure of undistributed
accumulated earnings or regulatory capital of SBIC I LP and require
the prior approval from the SBA. At December 31, 2020, the Parent
had $21.2 million of cash and cash equivalents available for
general corporate activities, including approximately $18.3 million
held by SBIC I LP that was available for distribution to the
Parent.
Additionally, at December 31, 2020, we had an unused commitment
of $19.4 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility
with Pacific Western Bank, as well as an unused commitment of
$118.6 million under the revolving credit facility with BNP
Paribas, both subject to borrowing base requirements and other
covenants. Based on fair values and equity capital at December 31,
2020, we could access $111 million under our credit facilities and
remain in compliance with 1940 Act asset coverage requirement.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 10, 2021, we issued $100.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 4.75% notes due 2026 (the “Unsecured Notes Due
February 2026”). The Unsecured Notes Due February 2026 will mature
on February 10, 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per year
payable on February 10 and August 10 of each year, commencing on
August 10, 2021.
The net proceeds we received from the sale of the Unsecured
Notes Due February 2026 was approximately $96.6 million based on a
public offering price of 98.906% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Unsecured Notes Due February 2026, after deducting the
underwriting discount and commissions payable by us and estimated
offering expenses payable by us.
In connection with, and using the proceeds from, the issuance of
the Unsecured Notes Due February 2026, on February 10, 2021, we
caused notices to be issued to the holders of the $50.0 million
aggregate principal unsecured notes due April 2025 (the "Unsecured
Notes Due April 2025") and $48.5 million aggregate principal
unsecured notes due October 2025 (the "Unsecured Note Due October
2025") regarding our exercise of our option to redeem all of the
issued and outstanding Unsecured Notes Due April 2025 and Unsecured
Notes Due October 2025. We will redeem the Unsecured Notes Due
April 2025 and the Unsecured Notes Due October 2025 on March 12,
2021. The Unsecured Notes Due April 2025 and the Unsecured Notes
Due October 2025 will be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount
($25 per Note), plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon from
January 31, 2021, through, but excluding, March 12, 2021.
