Today's speakers may refer to material from the WhiteHorse Finance First Quarter 2024 earnings presentation, which was posted to our website this morning. Speaker 100:01:47With that, allow me to introduce WhiteHorse Finance's CEO, Stuart Simpson. Stuart, you may begin. Speaker 200:01:55Thank you, Rob. Good morning, and thank you for all of you for joining today. As you're aware, we issued our earnings this morning prior to market open, and I hope you've had a chance to review our results for the period ended March 31, 2024, which can also be found on our website. On today's call, I'll begin by addressing our Q1 results and current market conditions. Joyceann Thomas, our Chief Financial Officer, will then discuss our performance in greater detail, after which we will open the floor for questions. Speaker 200:02:27I'm pleased to report continued strong performance for the Q1 of 2024. Q4 GAAP net investment income and core NII was $10,800,000 or $0.465 per share, which more than covered our quarterly base dividend of $0.385 per share. This represents a slight increase from Q4 GAAP and core NII of 10,600,000 dollars or $0.456 per share. NAV per share at the end of Q1 was 13.50 dollars representing a 1% decrease from the prior quarter. NAV per share was negatively impacted by net markdowns on our portfolio totaling $5,200,000 the majority of which related to a markdown in equity warrants in Seagate Corporation, which I will discuss shortly. Speaker 200:03:17The NAV decrease was partially offset by the excess of core NII over our quarterly dividend. Turning to portfolio activity in Q1, gross capital deployments totaled $55,000,000 with $44,700,000 funding 5 new originations and the remaining $10,300,000 funding add ons to existing investments as activity remained reasonably strong. In addition to the add ons, there were $800,000 in net fundings made for revolver commitments. Of our 5 new originations in Q1, 2 were sponsor deals and 3 were non sponsor deals with an average leverage of approximately 3.5 times debt to EBITDA. All of these deals were 1st lien loans with an average spread of 7.30 basis points and an average all in rate of 12.6%. Speaker 200:04:08I note that both of these statistics are attractive from a historical and current market perspective. During the quarter, the BDC transferred 2 of these new deals and one existing investment to the Ohio STRS JV totaling $8,500,000 At the end of Q1, 99 percent of our debt portfolio was 1st lien, senior secured and our portfolio mix was approximately 2 thirds sponsor and 1 third non sponsor, which is consistent with the prior quarter. In Q1, total repayments and sales were $43,400,000 primarily driven by 5 complete realizations and 1 partial realization. We expect repayment activity to remain relatively high, particularly for credits that are more than 2 years old, where call protection has expired or is more limited. In some cases, deals will be re priced and we will evaluate risk and return on a case basis to determine whether we want to follow credits into the current more aggressive market environment. Speaker 200:05:11Thus far in Q2, we have had $115,000,000 sorry, we've had $15,000,000 in full repayments and sales. With repayments in JV transfers mostly offsetting our deployment activity, the company's net effective leverage increased slightly to 1.19 times and remains below the lower end of our target leverage range. So long as our portfolio remains heavily concentrated in 1st lien loans, which have lower risk than 2nd lien loans, we expect to continue to run the BDC at up to 1.35 times leverage. With that in mind, I'll now step back to bring our entire investment portfolio into focus. After the effects of net repayments and STRS JV transfers as well as $800,000 in net mark to market increases and $6,100,000 of realized losses, the fair value of our investment portfolio was $697,900,000 at the end of Q1. Speaker 200:06:09This compares to our portfolio fair value of $696,200,000 at the end of the previous quarter. The weighted average effective yield on our income producing debt investments was 13.7% as of the end of Q1, unchanged from the end of last year. We continue to utilize the STRS JV successfully. The JV generated investment income to the BDC of approximately $4,800,000 in Q1, up from $4,200,000 in Q4. As of March 31, the fair value of the JVs portfolio was $309,400,000 and at the end of Q1, the JVs portfolio had an average unlevered yield of 12.4 percent consistent with Q4. Speaker 200:06:58The JV is currently producing an average annual return on equity in the mid teens to the BDC. We believe WhiteHorse's equity investment in the JV provides attractive returns for our shareholders. Transitioning to the BDC's portfolio more broadly, there were some markdowns in the portfolio during Q1. Most notably, there was a $3,500,000 markdown to our equity investment in Seagate Corporation. We exited the Seagate loan several years ago and due to covenant defaults at the time, we were granted warrants equal to at least 17% of the company. Speaker 200:07:36I should note that we had no cash basis in these warrants. In any event, Seagate went out of business in Q1 and we therefore marked the warrants down to 0. There were some other modest markdowns in 3 other credits, including in new cycle solutions also known as Naviga, which was placed on non accrual in the quarter. Markdowns were more than offset by reversals of aggregate prior unrealized losses upon the realization in Crown Brands 2nd lien investment and the restructuring of Atlas Purchaser, which is also known as Aspect Software. We resolved the Crown Brands loan in Q1 by selling it back to the sponsor who is running the company. Speaker 200:08:16Although the loan was sold at a discount, we were able to sell it at a price that it was a premium to where the loan had been valued at the end of Q4. We also participated in a restructuring of our position in Atlas Purchaser, also known as Aspect Software, which resulted in a portion of the resulted in a portion of the investment to incur a realized loss. New cycle was the only credit moved to non accrual during the quarter and at the end of Q1, investments on non accrual totaled 1.3% of our debt portfolio at fair value compared with 2.5% at the end of Q4. Naviga is in a sale process and values for the company have unexpectedly come in at a modest discount to the value of the debt. We have therefore marked the asset to a level that we think is consistent with where the company will be sold. Speaker 200:09:11American Crafts and Arcserve remain on non accrual status. You may recall that we have a control position in American Crafts and we along with other lenders took control of Arcserve earlier in Q1. We are continuing to work with our restructuring resources and our private equity resources to turn those companies around to maximize value. The trends we're seeing in both these accounts are positive relative to where they were 1 quarter ago. Across the portfolio generally, we see balanced activity in terms of credit performance and remain overall pleased with the health and relative stability of our debt portfolio. Speaker 200:09:47The cyclical accounts are continuing to be surprisingly strong and the accounts that are having trouble are either facing the consumer market or have idiosyncratic problems that we have discussed in the past. As always, we remain vigilant in monitoring our portfolio of companies. We have not seen demand weakness in other sectors, including general industrial, B2B, Healthcare, TMT or financial services. Additionally, our portfolio includes mostly non cyclical or light cyclical borrowers. We hold no direct exposure to oil and gas, auto, new home construction or restaurants. Speaker 200:10:26The vast majority of our deals have strong covenant protection. We are finding that in most cases, the private equity firms we partner with are supporting their credits with new cash or contingent equity as needed. Turning to the broader lending market, lenders have gotten significantly more aggressive in terms of credit, documents and price, a continuation of the trend that we saw emerging in Q4. As Q1 progressed, we saw a modest increase in M and A activity coming out of the sponsor market and the non sponsor market. Despite that modest increase, there is still a significant supply demand imbalance in favor of borrowers since directly lending shops that are coming off of poor volume numbers in 20222023 are trying to make sure they hit their budgets and again are willing to be more aggressive to make that happen. Speaker 200:11:19We've definitely seen a shift all the way from broadly syndicated market into upper mid market and also the mid market and lower mid market. The degradation of the market has been most severe in the sponsor market, where leverage is up half a turn to return and loan to value is now 55% to 65%. More middle market deals are being done with no financial covenants and pricing has come down 100 to 150 basis points from last quarter. This decline came suddenly and we have not seen a reversal of that in Q2. The upper mid market has seen prices decline to where deals are now priced at sofer $450 to SOFR $525 The mid market and lower mid market are pricing deals more in the range of SOFR 500 to SOFR 5 75. Speaker 200:12:07The shift in the non sponsor market has thankfully been less dramatic. Credits are still at 3 to 4.5 times leverage and pricing has come down by only about 50 basis points. What we have seen over time is that the non sponsor market is less volatile than the sponsor market because there's less competition and it's harder for lenders to access the non sponsor market. As I alluded to earlier, the deals that we did in 2022 2023 for the most part still have call protection, We're doing a good job of holding on to prices we captured in those years when the markets were much more favorable to lenders with pricing typically at $6.50 to $7.50 on both sponsor and non sponsor deals. In the current market environment, we're being very cautious in our deal sourcing with on the run sponsors and our focus remains on the off the run sponsor market and non sponsor business where market terms remain comparatively more attractive. Speaker 200:13:05Because of our ability to access the Opti Run sponsor market and non sponsor market, we are still commanding higher prices than what you see in the upper mid market or mid market in general. With respect to the broader economy, recent data indicates that inflation will continue at a higher level than what the Fed is targeting. We agree with the current thinking that there will be somewhere between 0 to 2 rate cuts in the balance of the year, probably happening later in the year. As a result, we expect slower economic growth through 2024 into 2025. The year started out slowly in terms of pipeline, which is normal for the beginning of the year, but we did enter the year with a decent backlog of deals, most of which were non sponsor. Speaker 200:13:49Our pipeline is grown as we move through the first half of the year, due in part to our sourcing model, which allows us to source deals in corners of the market where there is less competition, including the off to run sponsor market and the non sponsor market. Our 3 tier sourcing architecture continues to provide the BDC with differentiated capabilities and we continue to derive significant advantages from the shared resources and affiliation with HIG, who is a leader in mid market and lower mid market. WhiteHorse has approximately 22 origination professionals located in 11 regional markets across North America. The strength of the origination pipeline enables us to be conservative on our deal selection. Following repayment activity in Q1, the VDC balance sheet has approximately $40,000,000 of capacity for new assets at our target leverage range. Speaker 200:14:44The JV has approximately $50,000,000 of capacity, supplementing the BDC's existing capacity. With the move in the markets, deals that are priced below SOKR 600 are targeted for the JV. Those priced at 600 or above are largely targeted for the BDC balance sheet. We're actively working on 11 new mandates and add on acquisitions. Of the new platform mandates, the majority are non sponsor deals. Speaker 200:15:11While there can be no assurance that any of these deals will close, all of these mandates could fit within the BDC or our JV should we elect to transact. Subsequent to quarter end, we have closed 2 new originations and 3 add ons to existing portfolio companies with several more pending. Of the new originations, investment was transferred to the JV during the Q2. We also transferred 2 add on investments to the JV in the Q2. In short, activity continues to pick up and we remain cautiously optimistic that the market will remain conducive to Whitehorse. Speaker 200:15:48Despite sustained concerns of economic softening, we believe we are well positioned to continue to source attractive opportunities, navigate economic challenges due to our rigorous underwriting standards and continued delivering to our shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Joyson for additional performance details and a review of our portfolio composition. Joyson? Speaker 300:16:11Thanks, Stuart, and thank you everyone for joining today's call. During the quarter, we recorded GAAP net investment income and core NII of $10,800,000 or $0.465 per share. This compares with Q4 GAAP NII and core NII of $10,600,000 or $0.456 per share and a previously declared quarterly distribution of $0.385 per share. Q1 fee income was unchanged quarter over quarter at 600,000 dollars Q1 amounts were primarily comprised of $500,000 of amendment fees, the majority of which came from an amendment fee from Telestream Holdings. For the quarter, we recorded our net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $6,000,000 Our risk ratings during the quarter showed that 77.6 percent of our portfolio positions carried either a 1 or 2 rating, slightly lower than the 77.7 percent in the prior quarter. Speaker 300:17:09As a reminder, our 1 rating indicates that a company has seen its risk of loss reduced relative to initial expectations and a 2 rating indicates the company is performing according to such initial expectations. Regarding the JV specifically, we continue to grow our investment. As Stuart mentioned earlier, in the Q1, we transferred 2 new deals and one existing investment totaling $8,500,000 in exchange for cash proceeds of the same amount. Additionally, during the quarter, 2 existing portfolio company investments fully realized in the portfolio. And as a result, as of March 31, 2024, JV's portfolio held positions in 34 portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of $309,400,000 compared to 34 portfolio companies at an aggregate fair value of $312,200,000 as of December 31, 2023. Speaker 300:18:00Subsequent to the end of the Q1, the company transferred 3 investments to the JV, including 1 new portfolio company. The investment in the JV continues to be accretive to the BDC's earnings, generating a mid teens return on equity. During Q1, we did see an elevated amount of income recognized from our JV investment, which aggregated to $4,800,000 during the quarter as compared with approximately 4,300,000 in Q4 of last year. The approximate $500,000 increase or $0.024 per share is largely attributable to non recurring events that occurred in the JV's portfolio. As we have noted in prior calls, the yield on our investment in the JV may fluctuate period over period as a result of a number of factors, including the timing and amount of additional capital investments, the changes in asset yields in the underlying portfolio as well as the overall credit performance of the JV's investment portfolio. Speaker 300:18:55Turning to our balance sheet. We had cash resources of approximately $20,900,000 at the end of Q1, including $10,200,000 in restricted cash and approximately $135,000,000 of undrawn capacity available under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, the company's asset coverage ratio for borrowed amounts as defined by the 1940 Act was 179.5%, which was above the minimum asset coverage ratio of 150%. Our Q1 net effective debt to equity ratio after adjusting for cash on hand was 1.19 times compared with 1.16 times for the prior quarter. Speaker 200:19:34Before I conclude and open up the call Speaker 300:19:35to questions, I'd again like to highlight our distributions. This morning, we announced that our Board declared a 2nd quarter distribution of $0.385 per share, which is consistent with the prior quarter. The upcoming distribution, the 47 consecutive quarterly distribution paid since our IPO in December 2012 with all distributions at or above a rate of $0.355 per share per quarter will be payable on July 2, 2024 to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2024. As we said previously, we will continue to evaluate our quarterly distribution, both in the near and medium term based on the core earnings power of our portfolio in addition to other relevant factors that may warrant consideration. With that, I'll now turn the call over to the operator for your questions. Speaker 300:20:19Operator? Speaker 400:20:21Thank Operator00:20:39And we do have our first question from Mickey Schleien with Ladenburg. Speaker 500:20:43Yes. Good morning, everyone. Just one quick question for me. With the movements in non accruals this quarter, was there any impact on interest income in terms of recaptures or reversals of previous interest income? Speaker 200:21:01Joy, I'll leave that for you. Speaker 300:21:04Mickey, we did not reverse out any income accruals during the period. We just ceased from recognizing the additional accruals during Q1. Speaker 500:21:14Okay. Thank you, Joyce. And that's it for me this morning. Thank you, Mickey. Operator00:21:21And we do have our next question from Bryce Roe with B. Riley. Speaker 400:21:25Thanks. Good morning. Speaker 200:21:27Good morning, Bryce. Speaker 400:21:29Hey, Stuart. Wanted to follow-up on some of the prepared remarks. You talked about, obviously, spreads and pricing having come in more aggressive terms and conditions out there in the market. And you did talk about evaluating whether you would follow some credits that were at least exploring some kind of refinance option. Curious what would kind of keep you in the credit and what kind of pricing deterioration would you see relative to what's on the books right now? Speaker 200:22:08So to give you two examples, Bryce, we were in a company that had industrial cyclicality to it and they got an offer to do the deal at higher leverage and 100 basis point lower price. We may have gotten there on the price, but the higher leverage in a cyclical left us uncomfortable, so we chose to exit that credit. As compared to a company we have in the business services sector where the prepayment penalties have expired. The company has performed well. It is delevered overreturned since closing. Speaker 200:22:45In order to keep that asset, we're going to need to reduce pricing, I believe, from SOFR 625 or 650 down to SOFR 525. But because it's a strong performing asset, non cyclical low CapEx, we are going to follow that asset and accept the lower price. So it'll be primarily driven by credit concerns and how aggressive the market is getting. And in general, as I mentioned, the market is now a $500,000,000 to $575,000,000 market in the part of the market we cover, which is the mid market and lower mid market. And we will accept those prices because those are the market prices for credits that we think are strong and stable. Speaker 300:23:31Okay. That's fair. Speaker 400:23:35And then maybe you could talk a little bit about I assume you've got a bit of a watch list within WhiteHorse and it's reflected in the internal risk ratings. What are you seeing internally to move credit around within that internal risk rating system? Just trying to kind of understand what the tail risk is within the portfolio and if it's growing with this higher for longer environment? Speaker 200:24:16Yes. The average leverage on our deals is and has been modest. So the higher rate environment is not in and of itself causing us much concern. We do, as we've indicated in the ratings on the deals and the marks you see on the deals, have a number of credits that are underperforming to the original plan that results in a mark of 3 or a rating of 3. Some where we're concerned of losing principal amounts, those are ratings of 4. Speaker 200:24:50And as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, there is no broad trend other than consumer facing companies being weaker. There's no broad trend that we're seeing in terms of reasons why companies are underperforming. In some cases, it's Arcserve had a technology outage and lost customer data a couple of years ago, and that has led to us taking over the company and trying to turn it around. Other credits that we're dealing with are dealing with idiosyncratic issues. We are not seeing broad economic weakness at this point. Speaker 200:25:30And we would tell you that the revenues for companies across the portfolio on average are up, partially due to inflation, but partially due to reasonably strong demand in the general business market. Speaker 400:25:43Okay. That's helpful. Last one for me. You kind of made some comments around new cycle going through a sale process and maybe seeing a lower valuation than would have been expected. Can you talk about kind of how the puts and takes of that in terms of how you deal with that within your portfolio and whether you opt to sell or keep it? Speaker 200:26:10Thankfully, it's a very small investment. Speaker 400:26:13Yes. Speaker 600:26:13And Speaker 200:26:16the situation is the sponsor that owned the company, put the company up for sale, got an offer that they're trying to transact on, but the offer is for less than the debt value. It's a club deal. We're a very small piece of the club, but it's a club deal and there is no active market for that paper. So the best thing for us to do is just wait for the sale of the company and collect out what we can collect on that asset. That will be, we think, similar to where the asset is marked. Speaker 300:26:52Okay. That's it for me. Bryce, one more thing on Bryce, I was going to just say one more thing on news cycle and this also relates to Mickey's prior question on reversals. We did reverse out a small fee that was due at exit or maturity on new cycle of approximately $98,000 given our prognosis on what we expect to collect. Speaker 400:27:16Okay. But that has already been accrued, Joyceann? Or it's just not That's correct. Speaker 300:27:20It's not approved. It's previously been accrued based on an amendment in an earlier period and reversed out during Q1. Speaker 400:27:28Okay, got it. Thanks. Operator00:27:33And we have our next question from Eric Zwick with Hovde Group. Speaker 200:27:38Good morning. Just one question for me and maybe kind of a 2 part question. Could you just remind me kind of the characteristics that you consider for transferring investments into the JV and the JV is at just over 15% of the total portfolio at fair value today. Where is your comfort range with the size of that relative to the total investment portfolio? Answering the second part of your question first, we think the JV has now reached a size with the committed capital that is appropriate to the BDC. Speaker 200:28:15I don't think we'd increase the JV size again. And we, depending on market conditions, reserve the higher priced deals to remain on the BGC balance sheet and the lower priced deals go into the JV. At this point in time, as I indicated in the prepared remarks, deals that are priced $600 or higher, which will be considered a premium price in today's market and the price we're getting on non sponsor deals will typically go on to the BDC balance sheet. Deals that are priced under 600 will typically head to the JV. Got it. Speaker 200:28:54Thank you. That's all for me today. I appreciate it. Have a good day. Thank Operator00:29:02you. And our next question comes from Sean Paul Adams with Raymond James. Speaker 100:29:12Hi, guys. Good morning. Speaker 200:29:13Good morning. Speaker 600:29:14It looks like the average investment size in the portfolio has continued to go down quarter over quarter, which is it's been following the trend for the last couple of quarters, I think now averaging around $5,000,000 Earlier in the year, you mentioned that the new average allocation target would probably be closer to $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 Have you guys lowered that target allocation range going forward or forecasted add ons impacting that figure? Speaker 200:29:45I think what's really going on is a lot of the non sponsor deals we do are smaller deals. And so the BDC's allocation into those smaller deals is ultimately a smaller number. That is just a natural result of again the average size of the deals that we're closing. So I would say if we see a normal market environment, I would still expect the average size of an asset going into the BDC to be more in the $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 range. Got it. Speaker 200:30:19Thank you. Operator00:30:40And at this time, I'm currently showing no questions in the queue. I'll now turn the call back over to Steve Stewart Aronson for closing remarks. Speaker 200:30:48All right. Well, we continue to work hard to keep the portfolio as healthy as possible and to add good credits that will give the BDC stability going forward regardless of market conditions. Appreciate everybody's time today. And as always, heading into next quarter's call, if anyone has topics they want us to address in the prepared remarks, please communicate with either Joyston or I in advance of those calls and we will do our best to answer questions with complete transparency. Thank you very much and have a good day.Read morePowered by Conference Call Audio Live Call not available Earnings Conference CallWhiteHorse Finance Q1 202400:00 / 00:00Speed:1x1.25x1.5x2x Earnings DocumentsSlide DeckPress Release(8-K)Quarterly report(10-Q) WhiteHorse Finance Earnings HeadlinesWhiteHorse Finance stock hits 52-week low at $9.44April 2, 2025 | investing.comWhiteHorse Finance: Still No Signs Of ImprovementMarch 21, 2025 | seekingalpha.com[Action Required] Claim Your FREE IRS Loophole GuideThis shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention, but...

There are 7 speakers on the call. Operator00:00:00Good morning. My name is Mike, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the WhiteHorse Finance First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. Our hosts for today's call are Stuart Aronson, Chief Executive Officer and Joyson Thomas, Chief Financial Officer. Today's call is being recorded and a replay is available through a webcast in the Investor Relations section of our website at whitehorsefinance.com. Operator00:00:24At this time, all participants have been placed in a listen only mode and the floor will be open for your questions following the presentation. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Robert Brinberg of Rose and Company. Please go ahead. Speaker 100:00:51Thank you, Mike, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today to discuss WhiteHills Finance's Q1 2024 Earnings Results.

WhiteHorse Finance assumes no obligation or responsibility to update any forward looking statements. Today's speakers may refer to material from the WhiteHorse Finance First Quarter 2024 earnings presentation, which was posted to our website this morning. Speaker 100:01:47With that, allow me to introduce WhiteHorse Finance's CEO, Stuart Simpson. Stuart, you may begin. Speaker 200:01:55Thank you, Rob. Good morning, and thank you for all of you for joining today. As you're aware, we issued our earnings this morning prior to market open, and I hope you've had a chance to review our results for the period ended March 31, 2024, which can also be found on our website. On today's call, I'll begin by addressing our Q1 results and current market conditions. Joyceann Thomas, our Chief Financial Officer, will then discuss our performance in greater detail, after which we will open the floor for questions. Speaker 200:02:27I'm pleased to report continued strong performance for the Q1 of 2024. Q4 GAAP net investment income and core NII was $10,800,000 or $0.465 per share, which more than covered our quarterly base dividend of $0.385 per share. This represents a slight increase from Q4 GAAP and core NII of 10,600,000 dollars or $0.456 per share. NAV per share at the end of Q1 was 13.50 dollars representing a 1% decrease from the prior quarter. NAV per share was negatively impacted by net markdowns on our portfolio totaling $5,200,000 the majority of which related to a markdown in equity warrants in Seagate Corporation, which I will discuss shortly. Speaker 200:03:17The NAV decrease was partially offset by the excess of core NII over our quarterly dividend. Turning to portfolio activity in Q1, gross capital deployments totaled $55,000,000 with $44,700,000 funding 5 new originations and the remaining $10,300,000 funding add ons to existing investments as activity remained reasonably strong. In addition to the add ons, there were $800,000 in net fundings made for revolver commitments. Of our 5 new originations in Q1, 2 were sponsor deals and 3 were non sponsor deals with an average leverage of approximately 3.5 times debt to EBITDA. All of these deals were 1st lien loans with an average spread of 7.30 basis points and an average all in rate of 12.6%. Speaker 200:04:08I note that both of these statistics are attractive from a historical and current market perspective. During the quarter, the BDC transferred 2 of these new deals and one existing investment to the Ohio STRS JV totaling $8,500,000 At the end of Q1, 99 percent of our debt portfolio was 1st lien, senior secured and our portfolio mix was approximately 2 thirds sponsor and 1 third non sponsor, which is consistent with the prior quarter. In Q1, total repayments and sales were $43,400,000 primarily driven by 5 complete realizations and 1 partial realization. We expect repayment activity to remain relatively high, particularly for credits that are more than 2 years old, where call protection has expired or is more limited. In some cases, deals will be re priced and we will evaluate risk and return on a case basis to determine whether we want to follow credits into the current more aggressive market environment. Speaker 200:05:11Thus far in Q2, we have had $115,000,000 sorry, we've had $15,000,000 in full repayments and sales. With repayments in JV transfers mostly offsetting our deployment activity, the company's net effective leverage increased slightly to 1.19 times and remains below the lower end of our target leverage range. So long as our portfolio remains heavily concentrated in 1st lien loans, which have lower risk than 2nd lien loans, we expect to continue to run the BDC at up to 1.35 times leverage. With that in mind, I'll now step back to bring our entire investment portfolio into focus. After the effects of net repayments and STRS JV transfers as well as $800,000 in net mark to market increases and $6,100,000 of realized losses, the fair value of our investment portfolio was $697,900,000 at the end of Q1. Speaker 200:06:09This compares to our portfolio fair value of $696,200,000 at the end of the previous quarter. The weighted average effective yield on our income producing debt investments was 13.7% as of the end of Q1, unchanged from the end of last year. We continue to utilize the STRS JV successfully. The JV generated investment income to the BDC of approximately $4,800,000 in Q1, up from $4,200,000 in Q4. As of March 31, the fair value of the JVs portfolio was $309,400,000 and at the end of Q1, the JVs portfolio had an average unlevered yield of 12.4 percent consistent with Q4. Speaker 200:06:58The JV is currently producing an average annual return on equity in the mid teens to the BDC. We believe WhiteHorse's equity investment in the JV provides attractive returns for our shareholders. Transitioning to the BDC's portfolio more broadly, there were some markdowns in the portfolio during Q1. Most notably, there was a $3,500,000 markdown to our equity investment in Seagate Corporation. We exited the Seagate loan several years ago and due to covenant defaults at the time, we were granted warrants equal to at least 17% of the company. Speaker 200:07:36I should note that we had no cash basis in these warrants. In any event, Seagate went out of business in Q1 and we therefore marked the warrants down to 0. There were some other modest markdowns in 3 other credits, including in new cycle solutions also known as Naviga, which was placed on non accrual in the quarter. Markdowns were more than offset by reversals of aggregate prior unrealized losses upon the realization in Crown Brands 2nd lien investment and the restructuring of Atlas Purchaser, which is also known as Aspect Software. We resolved the Crown Brands loan in Q1 by selling it back to the sponsor who is running the company. Speaker 200:08:16Although the loan was sold at a discount, we were able to sell it at a price that it was a premium to where the loan had been valued at the end of Q4. We also participated in a restructuring of our position in Atlas Purchaser, also known as Aspect Software, which resulted in a portion of the resulted in a portion of the investment to incur a realized loss. New cycle was the only credit moved to non accrual during the quarter and at the end of Q1, investments on non accrual totaled 1.3% of our debt portfolio at fair value compared with 2.5% at the end of Q4. Naviga is in a sale process and values for the company have unexpectedly come in at a modest discount to the value of the debt. We have therefore marked the asset to a level that we think is consistent with where the company will be sold. Speaker 200:09:11American Crafts and Arcserve remain on non accrual status. You may recall that we have a control position in American Crafts and we along with other lenders took control of Arcserve earlier in Q1. We are continuing to work with our restructuring resources and our private equity resources to turn those companies around to maximize value. The trends we're seeing in both these accounts are positive relative to where they were 1 quarter ago. Across the portfolio generally, we see balanced activity in terms of credit performance and remain overall pleased with the health and relative stability of our debt portfolio. Speaker 200:09:47The cyclical accounts are continuing to be surprisingly strong and the accounts that are having trouble are either facing the consumer market or have idiosyncratic problems that we have discussed in the past. As always, we remain vigilant in monitoring our portfolio of companies. We have not seen demand weakness in other sectors, including general industrial, B2B, Healthcare, TMT or financial services. Additionally, our portfolio includes mostly non cyclical or light cyclical borrowers. We hold no direct exposure to oil and gas, auto, new home construction or restaurants. Speaker 200:10:26The vast majority of our deals have strong covenant protection. We are finding that in most cases, the private equity firms we partner with are supporting their credits with new cash or contingent equity as needed. Turning to the broader lending market, lenders have gotten significantly more aggressive in terms of credit, documents and price, a continuation of the trend that we saw emerging in Q4. As Q1 progressed, we saw a modest increase in M and A activity coming out of the sponsor market and the non sponsor market. Despite that modest increase, there is still a significant supply demand imbalance in favor of borrowers since directly lending shops that are coming off of poor volume numbers in 20222023 are trying to make sure they hit their budgets and again are willing to be more aggressive to make that happen. Speaker 200:11:19We've definitely seen a shift all the way from broadly syndicated market into upper mid market and also the mid market and lower mid market. The degradation of the market has been most severe in the sponsor market, where leverage is up half a turn to return and loan to value is now 55% to 65%. More middle market deals are being done with no financial covenants and pricing has come down 100 to 150 basis points from last quarter. This decline came suddenly and we have not seen a reversal of that in Q2. The upper mid market has seen prices decline to where deals are now priced at sofer $450 to SOFR $525 The mid market and lower mid market are pricing deals more in the range of SOFR 500 to SOFR 5 75. Speaker 200:12:07The shift in the non sponsor market has thankfully been less dramatic. Credits are still at 3 to 4.5 times leverage and pricing has come down by only about 50 basis points. What we have seen over time is that the non sponsor market is less volatile than the sponsor market because there's less competition and it's harder for lenders to access the non sponsor market. As I alluded to earlier, the deals that we did in 2022 2023 for the most part still have call protection, We're doing a good job of holding on to prices we captured in those years when the markets were much more favorable to lenders with pricing typically at $6.50 to $7.50 on both sponsor and non sponsor deals. In the current market environment, we're being very cautious in our deal sourcing with on the run sponsors and our focus remains on the off the run sponsor market and non sponsor business where market terms remain comparatively more attractive. Speaker 200:13:05Because of our ability to access the Opti Run sponsor market and non sponsor market, we are still commanding higher prices than what you see in the upper mid market or mid market in general. With respect to the broader economy, recent data indicates that inflation will continue at a higher level than what the Fed is targeting. We agree with the current thinking that there will be somewhere between 0 to 2 rate cuts in the balance of the year, probably happening later in the year. As a result, we expect slower economic growth through 2024 into 2025. The year started out slowly in terms of pipeline, which is normal for the beginning of the year, but we did enter the year with a decent backlog of deals, most of which were non sponsor. Speaker 200:13:49Our pipeline is grown as we move through the first half of the year, due in part to our sourcing model, which allows us to source deals in corners of the market where there is less competition, including the off to run sponsor market and the non sponsor market. Our 3 tier sourcing architecture continues to provide the BDC with differentiated capabilities and we continue to derive significant advantages from the shared resources and affiliation with HIG, who is a leader in mid market and lower mid market. WhiteHorse has approximately 22 origination professionals located in 11 regional markets across North America. The strength of the origination pipeline enables us to be conservative on our deal selection. Following repayment activity in Q1, the VDC balance sheet has approximately $40,000,000 of capacity for new assets at our target leverage range. Speaker 200:14:44The JV has approximately $50,000,000 of capacity, supplementing the BDC's existing capacity. With the move in the markets, deals that are priced below SOKR 600 are targeted for the JV. Those priced at 600 or above are largely targeted for the BDC balance sheet. We're actively working on 11 new mandates and add on acquisitions. Of the new platform mandates, the majority are non sponsor deals. Speaker 200:15:11While there can be no assurance that any of these deals will close, all of these mandates could fit within the BDC or our JV should we elect to transact. Subsequent to quarter end, we have closed 2 new originations and 3 add ons to existing portfolio companies with several more pending. Of the new originations, investment was transferred to the JV during the Q2. We also transferred 2 add on investments to the JV in the Q2. In short, activity continues to pick up and we remain cautiously optimistic that the market will remain conducive to Whitehorse. Speaker 200:15:48Despite sustained concerns of economic softening, we believe we are well positioned to continue to source attractive opportunities, navigate economic challenges due to our rigorous underwriting standards and continued delivering to our shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Joyson for additional performance details and a review of our portfolio composition. Joyson? Speaker 300:16:11Thanks, Stuart, and thank you everyone for joining today's call. During the quarter, we recorded GAAP net investment income and core NII of $10,800,000 or $0.465 per share. This compares with Q4 GAAP NII and core NII of $10,600,000 or $0.456 per share and a previously declared quarterly distribution of $0.385 per share. Q1 fee income was unchanged quarter over quarter at 600,000 dollars Q1 amounts were primarily comprised of $500,000 of amendment fees, the majority of which came from an amendment fee from Telestream Holdings. For the quarter, we recorded our net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $6,000,000 Our risk ratings during the quarter showed that 77.6 percent of our portfolio positions carried either a 1 or 2 rating, slightly lower than the 77.7 percent in the prior quarter. Speaker 300:17:09As a reminder, our 1 rating indicates that a company has seen its risk of loss reduced relative to initial expectations and a 2 rating indicates the company is performing according to such initial expectations. Regarding the JV specifically, we continue to grow our investment. As Stuart mentioned earlier, in the Q1, we transferred 2 new deals and one existing investment totaling $8,500,000 in exchange for cash proceeds of the same amount. Additionally, during the quarter, 2 existing portfolio company investments fully realized in the portfolio. And as a result, as of March 31, 2024, JV's portfolio held positions in 34 portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of $309,400,000 compared to 34 portfolio companies at an aggregate fair value of $312,200,000 as of December 31, 2023. Speaker 300:18:00Subsequent to the end of the Q1, the company transferred 3 investments to the JV, including 1 new portfolio company. The investment in the JV continues to be accretive to the BDC's earnings, generating a mid teens return on equity. During Q1, we did see an elevated amount of income recognized from our JV investment, which aggregated to $4,800,000 during the quarter as compared with approximately 4,300,000 in Q4 of last year. The approximate $500,000 increase or $0.024 per share is largely attributable to non recurring events that occurred in the JV's portfolio. As we have noted in prior calls, the yield on our investment in the JV may fluctuate period over period as a result of a number of factors, including the timing and amount of additional capital investments, the changes in asset yields in the underlying portfolio as well as the overall credit performance of the JV's investment portfolio. Speaker 300:18:55Turning to our balance sheet. We had cash resources of approximately $20,900,000 at the end of Q1, including $10,200,000 in restricted cash and approximately $135,000,000 of undrawn capacity available under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, the company's asset coverage ratio for borrowed amounts as defined by the 1940 Act was 179.5%, which was above the minimum asset coverage ratio of 150%. Our Q1 net effective debt to equity ratio after adjusting for cash on hand was 1.19 times compared with 1.16 times for the prior quarter. Speaker 200:19:34Before I conclude and open up the call Speaker 300:19:35to questions, I'd again like to highlight our distributions. This morning, we announced that our Board declared a 2nd quarter distribution of $0.385 per share, which is consistent with the prior quarter. The upcoming distribution, the 47 consecutive quarterly distribution paid since our IPO in December 2012 with all distributions at or above a rate of $0.355 per share per quarter will be payable on July 2, 2024 to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2024. As we said previously, we will continue to evaluate our quarterly distribution, both in the near and medium term based on the core earnings power of our portfolio in addition to other relevant factors that may warrant consideration. With that, I'll now turn the call over to the operator for your questions. Speaker 300:20:19Operator? Speaker 400:20:21Thank Operator00:20:39And we do have our first question from Mickey Schleien with Ladenburg. Speaker 500:20:43Yes. Good morning, everyone. Just one quick question for me. With the movements in non accruals this quarter, was there any impact on interest income in terms of recaptures or reversals of previous interest income? Speaker 200:21:01Joy, I'll leave that for you. Speaker 300:21:04Mickey, we did not reverse out any income accruals during the period. We just ceased from recognizing the additional accruals during Q1. Speaker 500:21:14Okay. Thank you, Joyce. And that's it for me this morning. Thank you, Mickey. Operator00:21:21And we do have our next question from Bryce Roe with B. Riley. Speaker 400:21:25Thanks. Good morning. Speaker 200:21:27Good morning, Bryce. Speaker 400:21:29Hey, Stuart. Wanted to follow-up on some of the prepared remarks. You talked about, obviously, spreads and pricing having come in more aggressive terms and conditions out there in the market. And you did talk about evaluating whether you would follow some credits that were at least exploring some kind of refinance option. Curious what would kind of keep you in the credit and what kind of pricing deterioration would you see relative to what's on the books right now? Speaker 200:22:08So to give you two examples, Bryce, we were in a company that had industrial cyclicality to it and they got an offer to do the deal at higher leverage and 100 basis point lower price. We may have gotten there on the price, but the higher leverage in a cyclical left us uncomfortable, so we chose to exit that credit. As compared to a company we have in the business services sector where the prepayment penalties have expired. The company has performed well. It is delevered overreturned since closing. Speaker 200:22:45In order to keep that asset, we're going to need to reduce pricing, I believe, from SOFR 625 or 650 down to SOFR 525. But because it's a strong performing asset, non cyclical low CapEx, we are going to follow that asset and accept the lower price. So it'll be primarily driven by credit concerns and how aggressive the market is getting. And in general, as I mentioned, the market is now a $500,000,000 to $575,000,000 market in the part of the market we cover, which is the mid market and lower mid market. And we will accept those prices because those are the market prices for credits that we think are strong and stable. Speaker 300:23:31Okay. That's fair. Speaker 400:23:35And then maybe you could talk a little bit about I assume you've got a bit of a watch list within WhiteHorse and it's reflected in the internal risk ratings. What are you seeing internally to move credit around within that internal risk rating system? Just trying to kind of understand what the tail risk is within the portfolio and if it's growing with this higher for longer environment? Speaker 200:24:16Yes. The average leverage on our deals is and has been modest. So the higher rate environment is not in and of itself causing us much concern. We do, as we've indicated in the ratings on the deals and the marks you see on the deals, have a number of credits that are underperforming to the original plan that results in a mark of 3 or a rating of 3. Some where we're concerned of losing principal amounts, those are ratings of 4. Speaker 200:24:50And as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, there is no broad trend other than consumer facing companies being weaker. There's no broad trend that we're seeing in terms of reasons why companies are underperforming. In some cases, it's Arcserve had a technology outage and lost customer data a couple of years ago, and that has led to us taking over the company and trying to turn it around. Other credits that we're dealing with are dealing with idiosyncratic issues. We are not seeing broad economic weakness at this point. Speaker 200:25:30And we would tell you that the revenues for companies across the portfolio on average are up, partially due to inflation, but partially due to reasonably strong demand in the general business market. Speaker 400:25:43Okay. That's helpful. Last one for me. You kind of made some comments around new cycle going through a sale process and maybe seeing a lower valuation than would have been expected. Can you talk about kind of how the puts and takes of that in terms of how you deal with that within your portfolio and whether you opt to sell or keep it? Speaker 200:26:10Thankfully, it's a very small investment. Speaker 400:26:13Yes. Speaker 600:26:13And Speaker 200:26:16the situation is the sponsor that owned the company, put the company up for sale, got an offer that they're trying to transact on, but the offer is for less than the debt value. It's a club deal. We're a very small piece of the club, but it's a club deal and there is no active market for that paper. So the best thing for us to do is just wait for the sale of the company and collect out what we can collect on that asset. That will be, we think, similar to where the asset is marked. Speaker 300:26:52Okay. That's it for me. Bryce, one more thing on Bryce, I was going to just say one more thing on news cycle and this also relates to Mickey's prior question on reversals. We did reverse out a small fee that was due at exit or maturity on new cycle of approximately $98,000 given our prognosis on what we expect to collect. Speaker 400:27:16Okay. But that has already been accrued, Joyceann? Or it's just not That's correct. Speaker 300:27:20It's not approved. It's previously been accrued based on an amendment in an earlier period and reversed out during Q1. Speaker 400:27:28Okay, got it. Thanks. Operator00:27:33And we have our next question from Eric Zwick with Hovde Group. Speaker 200:27:38Good morning. Just one question for me and maybe kind of a 2 part question. Could you just remind me kind of the characteristics that you consider for transferring investments into the JV and the JV is at just over 15% of the total portfolio at fair value today. Where is your comfort range with the size of that relative to the total investment portfolio? Answering the second part of your question first, we think the JV has now reached a size with the committed capital that is appropriate to the BDC. Speaker 200:28:15I don't think we'd increase the JV size again. And we, depending on market conditions, reserve the higher priced deals to remain on the BGC balance sheet and the lower priced deals go into the JV. At this point in time, as I indicated in the prepared remarks, deals that are priced $600 or higher, which will be considered a premium price in today's market and the price we're getting on non sponsor deals will typically go on to the BDC balance sheet. Deals that are priced under 600 will typically head to the JV. Got it. Speaker 200:28:54Thank you. That's all for me today. I appreciate it. Have a good day. Thank Operator00:29:02you. And our next question comes from Sean Paul Adams with Raymond James. Speaker 100:29:12Hi, guys. Good morning. Speaker 200:29:13Good morning. Speaker 600:29:14It looks like the average investment size in the portfolio has continued to go down quarter over quarter, which is it's been following the trend for the last couple of quarters, I think now averaging around $5,000,000 Earlier in the year, you mentioned that the new average allocation target would probably be closer to $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 Have you guys lowered that target allocation range going forward or forecasted add ons impacting that figure? Speaker 200:29:45I think what's really going on is a lot of the non sponsor deals we do are smaller deals. And so the BDC's allocation into those smaller deals is ultimately a smaller number. That is just a natural result of again the average size of the deals that we're closing. So I would say if we see a normal market environment, I would still expect the average size of an asset going into the BDC to be more in the $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 range. Got it. Speaker 200:30:19Thank you. Operator00:30:40And at this time, I'm currently showing no questions in the queue. I'll now turn the call back over to Steve Stewart Aronson for closing remarks. Speaker 200:30:48All right. Well, we continue to work hard to keep the portfolio as healthy as possible and to add good credits that will give the BDC stability going forward regardless of market conditions. Appreciate everybody's time today. And as always, heading into next quarter's call, if anyone has topics they want us to address in the prepared remarks, please communicate with either Joyston or I in advance of those calls and we will do our best to answer questions with complete transparency. Thank you very much and have a good day.Read morePowered by
