Announces Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Release
and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON, Oct. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation
(NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce its preliminary operating results for the third quarter of
2024 and its third quarter 2024 earnings release and conference
call schedule.
In commenting on the Company's operating results for the third
quarter of 2024, Dwayne L. Hyzak,
Main Street's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with
our performance in the third quarter, which resulted in another
quarter of strong operating results, including a new record for net
asset value per share for the ninth consecutive quarter,
distributable net investment income per share that continued to
exceed the dividends paid to our shareholders and an estimated
return on equity of over 18% for the quarter. We believe that these
continued strong results demonstrate the sustainable strength of
our overall platform, the benefits of our differentiated and
diversified investment strategies, the unique contributions of our
asset management business and the underlying strength and quality
of our portfolio companies. We are also pleased that we further
improved our strong capital structure and liquidity position during
the quarter and ended the quarter with attractive investment
pipelines in both our lower middle market and private loan
investment strategies, each of which have us well positioned for
the future."
Mr. Hyzak continued, "The total dividends paid to our
shareholders in the third quarter of 2024 increased by 7.3%
compared to the third quarter of 2023, continuing our trend of
increasing the dividends paid to our shareholders over the past few
years. Our positive performance in the third quarter allowed us to
continue to generate distributable net investment income per share
that exceeded the total dividends paid to our shareholders, with
our estimated distributable net investment income for the third
quarter of 2024 exceeding the monthly dividends paid to our
shareholders by over 43% and the total dividends paid to our
shareholders by over 2%. Based upon the continued strength of our
performance in the third quarter, we expect another meaningful
supplemental dividend to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2024.
This would represent our thirteenth consecutive quarterly
supplemental dividend, to go with the eight increases to our
regular monthly dividends since the fourth quarter of 2021,
allowing us to deliver significant value to our shareholders, while
continuing to maintain a conservative dividend policy."
Preliminary Estimates of Third Quarter 2024 Results
Main Street's preliminary estimate of third quarter 2024 net
investment income ("NII") is $0.99 to
$1.01 per share and distributable net
investment income ("DNII") is $1.05
to $1.07 per share.(1)
Main Street's preliminary estimate of net asset value ("NAV")
per share as of September 30, 2024 is $30.54 to $30.60,
representing an increase of $0.74 to
$0.80 per share, or 2.5% to 2.7%,
from the NAV per share of $29.80 as
of June 30, 2024, with this increase
after the impact of the supplemental dividend paid in September 2024 of $0.30 per share. The estimated increase in NAV
per share is primarily due to the net fair value increase on the
investment portfolio resulting from the net realized gain and the
net unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments, including an
increase in the fair value of the wholly-owned asset manager, and
the accretive impact of equity issuances during the quarter, with
these increases partially offset by the net tax expense for the
quarter.
As a result of Main Street's preliminary estimates of NII and
net changes in the fair market value of its investment portfolio as
noted above, Main Street estimates that it generated a quarterly
annualized return on equity of 18% to 20% for the third quarter of
2024.(2)
Main Street preliminarily estimates that non-accrual investments
comprised 1.4% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and
3.9% at cost as of September 30, 2024.
Investment Portfolio Activity
The Company's third quarter 2024 operating activities include
the following investment activity in the lower middle market
("LMM"), private loan and middle market investment strategies:
- $51.6 million in total LMM
portfolio investments, which after aggregate repayments of debt
principal from several LMM portfolio investments and return of
invested equity capital from a LMM portfolio investment resulted in
a net increase of $2.0 million in the
total cost basis of the LMM investment portfolio;
- $309.3 million in total private
loan investments, which after aggregate repayments and sales of
several private loan portfolio debt investments and return of
invested capital from a private loan portfolio equity investment
resulted in a net increase of $162.7
million in the total cost basis of the private loan
investment portfolio; and
- a net decrease of $4.3 million in
the total cost basis of the middle market investment
portfolio.

Distributable net
investment income is net investment income as determined in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or
U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses,
which includes both share-based compensation expenses and deferred
compensation expense or benefit. Main Street believes presenting
distributable net investment income per share is useful and
appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial
performance, since share-based compensation does not require
settlement in cash and deferred compensation expense or benefit
does not result in a net cash impact to Main Street upon
settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a
non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement
for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, distributable net investment
income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP
measures in analyzing Main Street's financial performance. In order
to reconcile estimated distributable net investment income per
share to estimated net investment income per share in accordance
with U.S. GAAP for the third quarter of 2024, an estimated $0.05 to
$0.06 per share of non-cash compensation expenses are added back to
calculate estimated distributable net investment income per
share.
