In this article:

NEW YORK, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. ("WhiteHorse Finance" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: WHF) today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Company's board of directors has declared a distribution of $0.385 per share with respect to the quarter ending March 31, 2024. The distributions will be payable on April 2, 2024 to stockholders of record as of March 22, 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Summary Highlights

  • Net Asset Value of $316.8 million, or $13.63 per share, compared to $14.30 per share in 2022

  • Investment portfolio(1) totaling $696.2 million

  • STRS JV investment portfolio totaling $312.2 million

  • Gross investment deployments(2) of $56.9 million for the fourth quarter, including new originations of $54.1 million and $2.8 million of fundings for add-ons to existing investments

  • Gross investment deployments(2) of $135.5 million for the year, including new originations of $100.6 million and $34.9 million of fundings for add-ons to existing investments

  • Net investment income and core net investment income(3) of $10.6 million, or $0.456 per share, for the fourth quarter

  • Annual net investment income and core net investment income(3) of $42.7 million, or $1.838 per share

  • Annual distributions of $1.55 per share, including a special distribution of $0.07 per share

Stuart Aronson, WhiteHorse Finance's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am pleased to report that WhiteHorse's core net investment income increased by nearly 15% compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 and was well in excess of our regular dividend. While we marked down certain assets during the period, the investments in our existing portfolio were underwritten at modest leverage levels and are generally well-positioned to service our debt in a sustained high-interest rate environment. Additionally, our portfolio remains overwhelmingly represented by non-cyclical or lightly cyclical borrowers. While we remain cautious about prevailing economic conditions, we are seeing a continuing rebound in terms of both deal volume and quality in the lower middle markets, and our pipeline activity levels remain high with opportunities to invest in credits with compelling risk-return characteristics. The strength of the pipeline enables us to be conservative in our deal selection as repayment activity gains momentum into early 2024."

Portfolio and Investment Activity

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of WhiteHorse Finance's investment portfolio was $696.2 million, compared with $760.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The portfolio as of December 31, 2023 consisted of 116 positions across 72 companies with a weighted average effective yield of 13.7% on income-producing debt investments. The average debt investment size (excluding investments in STRS JV (as defined below)) was $6.7 million with the overall portfolio comprised of approximately 79.9% first lien secured loans, 2.3% second lien secured loans, 2.4% equity and 15.4% in investments in STRS JV. Almost all loans were variable rate investments (primarily indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) with fixed rate securities representing only 0.9% of loans at fair value. Nearly all performing floating rate investments have interest rate floors.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, WhiteHorse Finance made investments in eight new portfolio companies for a total of $54.1 million, added a total of $2.8 million to existing portfolio companies. Proceeds from sales and repayments totaled approximately $34.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, driven by two full realizations in JZ Capital Partners Ltd. and Aeyon LLC, two partial paydowns in JVMC Holdings Corp. (fka RJO Holdings Corp) and Power Service Group CR Acquisition Inc. (d/b/a Power Plant Services) and received net repayments of $0.6 million from revolver loans.

In addition to the transactions discussed above, during the three months ended December 31, 2023, WhiteHorse Finance transferred assets comprised of four new portfolio companies and one add-on investment, totaling $27.6 million to STRS JV in exchange for cash proceeds.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, WhiteHorse Finance invested $100.6 million across 16 new portfolio companies. The Company also invested $34.9 million in existing portfolio companies. Proceeds from sales and repayments totaled approximately $114.8 million for the year.

In addition to the transactions above, during the year ended December 31, 2023, WhiteHorse Finance transferred assets totaling $74.9 million in exchange for a net investment in STRS JV of $5.5 million as well as cash proceeds of $69.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's investment in STRS JV was approximately $107.2 million, at fair value.

WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC

As of December 31, 2023, STRS JV's portfolio totaled $312.2 million, consisted of 34 portfolio companies and had a weighted average effective yield of 12.4% on its portfolio.

Results of Operations

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's net investment income was approximately $10.6 million and $42.7 million, compared with approximately $11.1 million and $37.3 million for the same periods in the prior year, representing a decrease of approximately 4.5% and an increase of 14.5%, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to higher investment income from interest income and the STRS JV due to an increase in base rates. This was partially offset by an increase in interest expense, due to higher base rates, higher incentive fees from higher pre-incentive fee net investment income, partially offset by lower management fees due to lower average assets as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company's investment in STRS JV generated an annualized, gross investment yield of approximately 15.4%.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, core net investment income(3) was $10.6 million and $42.7 million, or $0.456 per share and $1.838 per share, respectively, compared with $11.1 million and $35.5 million, or $0.476 per share and $1.526 per share, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, WhiteHorse Finance reported a net realized and unrealized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions of $7.2 million and $22.3 million, respectively. This compares with the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 net realized and unrealized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions of $12.3 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The decrease for the year-over-year period was primarily attributable to markdowns on American Crafts, LC and Arcstor Midco, LLC (d/b/a Arcserve (USA), LLC).

WhiteHorse Finance reported a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $3.4 million and $20.4 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively which compares with a net decrease of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

WhiteHorse Finance's net asset value was $316.8 million, or $13.63 per share, as of December 31, 2023, compared with $322.3 million, or $13.87 per share, as of September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, WhiteHorse Finance's net asset value was $332.4 million, or $14.30 per share.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.

(1) Includes investments in WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund LLC ("STRS JV"), an unconsolidated joint venture, totaling $107.2 million, at fair value.
(2) Excludes investments made in STRS JV.
(3) "Core net investment income" is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core net investment income provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects the Company's financial performance excluding (i) the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company's indebtedness, (ii) the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and (iii) excise and other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). 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. Additional information on core net investment income and a reconciliation of core net investment income to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net investment income, are set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.
(4) Based on total capital raised by H.I.G. Capital and affiliates.

SCHEDULE 1

As a supplement to GAAP financial measures, the Company has provided information relating to core net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core net investment income represents net investment income adjusted to exclude the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company's indebtedness, the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and excise or other income taxes related to such net realized gains and losses (net of incentive fees). There were no excise or other income taxes related to net realized gains and losses for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(1)

Except as otherwise noted, all investments are non-controlled/non-affiliate investments as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and provide collateral for the Company's credit facility.



(2)

The investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S"), the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR" or "C"), the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), or the U.S. Prime Rate ("Prime" or "P") which may reset monthly, quarterly or semiannually.



(3)

The interest rate is the "all-in-rate" including the current index and spread, the fixed rate, and the payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest rate, as the case may be.



(4)

The investment or a portion of the investment does not provide collateral for the Company's credit facility.



(5)

Not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of total assets. Qualifying assets represented 83.3% of total assets as of the date of the consolidated schedule of investments.



(6)

Investment is a non-controlled/affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act.



(7)

The investment has an unfunded commitment in addition to any amounts presented in the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2023.



(8)

Preferred equity investment is a non-income producing security.



(9)

Security is perpetual with no defined maturity date.



(10)

Except as otherwise noted, all of the Company's portfolio company investments, which as of the date of the consolidated schedule of investments represented 219.7% of the Company's net assets or 95.3% of the Company's total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.



(11)

The fair value of each investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs.



(12)

The investment was comprised of two contracts, which were indexed to P and a different base rate, SOFR, SONIA or CDOR.



(13)

Principal amount is non-USD denominated and is based in Canadian dollars.



(14)

Investment is a controlled affiliate investment as defined by the 1940 Act.



(15)

Investment is structured as a unitranche loan in which the Company may receive additional interest on its "last out" tranche of the portfolio company's senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into "first out" and "last out" tranches, whereby the "first out" tranche will have priority as to the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.



(16)

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest in the amount of 3.50% on its "last out" tranche of the portfolio company's senior term debt, which was previously syndicated into "first out" and "last out" tranches, whereby the "first out" tranche will have priority as to the "last out" tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.



(17)

The investment is on non-accrual status.



(18)

On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, a public pension fund established under Ohio law ("STRS Ohio"), to create WHF STRS Ohio Senior Loan Fund, LLC ("STRS JV"), a joint venture, which invests primarily in senior secured first and second lien term loans.



(19)

On January 24, 2022, as part of a restructuring agreement between the Company and PlayMonster LLC, the Company's first lien secured term loan and delayed draw loan investments to PlayMonster LLC were converted into a new first lien secured term loan, preferred stock and common stock of Playmonster Group LLC.



(20)

In March 2023, as a result of a restructuring agreement between the Company and American Crafts, LC, the Company's investments are controlled affiliate investments, as defined by the 1940 Act.



(21)

In March 2023, as part of a restructuring agreement between the Company and Sklar Holdings, Inc (d/b/a Starco), the Company's first lien secured term loan investment was converted into a new first lien secured term loan to Chase Products Co. (f/k/a Starco) and preferred units and common units of Pressurized Holdings, LLC (f/k/a Starco).



(22)

Ownership of certain equity investments may occur through a holding company or partnership.



(23)

The issuer is domiciled in Canada.
